Dear Chris,Brian,Daniel,Ben, and Family,
We just wanted you to know that we love you, and are thinking of, and praying for you during this difficult time. Chris has talked so much about Gramma and how wonderful she was, I wish I had known her myself. Gramma sounded like such a caring woman, full of life and love and fun, and will always be remembered that way by all who knew and loved her.

I will never forget Easter Holidays at her house as a child. My mom, Eva loved and cherished her dearly. Elizabeth never missed sending a birthday card to everyone. She was so thoughtful. She will be sadly missed.

Even though I hadn't known Elizabeth long I will miss her deeply.We had some great moments together with my mother and the other ladies while we sat around the table after dinner beading bracelets. I know she enjoyed those times. My family and I would like to send along our thoughts and prayers to Rita and her family.

I worked with Betty for many years at MacIvers, she was such a nice person. I used to bring her to work when it snowed, as I lived near her. She always had the best attitude, and a cheerful personality. I know she'll be missed.
