Dear Lizzie,

I know I didn’t get to spend much time with you, but all the memories I do have of you are when I was a kid. I remember when you would come to GA to visit Mugger and Papa, so we would come over and visit too. I will always remember you as being so funny. You always made me laugh and had such a great sense of humor. I know you will be missed, but you are in heaven right now with Papa looking down on us right now.

To the rest of the family and loved ones, I would like to express my heartfelt condolences. I know you will miss Lizzie, but she is of course in a better place feeling no pain or discomfort while reuniting with other loved ones.

Love,

Barbara Stacy

To my loving sister Lizzie,
Lizzie, I always felt so close to you even though you were many miles away. I knew I could talk to you anytime. Now there is an empty place in my heart that no one else can fill. I'm lonely. I have lost two precious people in my life within two months. My mind can't hardly comprehend, but God knows what He's doing.
I know you and B.O. must be having a celebration up there along with "ALL" the others that's already gone on. One day we will join you too.
I remember you telling me after the Doctor had diagnosed your problem, that you too "would be a winner either way" just like B.O. "and you were".
Our family has been very close and us five sisters have had a lot of happy times together. Now one is missing, but we made enough memories to carry us through. We have hope and assurance that we all will be together again soon.
Tell B.O. hi for me and you two just go ahead and have a good time. I love you both. Kids, Grandkids and Great Grandkids she will be waiting for you.
Your baby sister Christine

To my loving sister, Lizzie that I love so dearly, but it came time for us to be separated for only a short while. We will be together again oneday. I miss the times when you and Winn and Teen and B.O. would come and we would have Garage Sales and we were happy just being together. So many times down through the years us five sisters would get together and those are the memories that will never be forgotten. Our family was close, but now another one is missing but I'm looking forward to the day when we will all be united again. Love you and miss you. Evelyn

Genelle and Tommy,
So sorry to hear about your mom. Having just seen her at Uncle B.O's funeral, it's hard to believe she's gone too. But, we know where she is. We look forward to seeing her again -- and Uncle Eugene.
Love you guys,
