I am sorry to heard about Elizabeth.
She was always so kind and sweet in high school. After reading her obituary, I was not surprised to read about her life of giving and helping others. She seemed like she lived her life concerned for others. I am praying for your family.

Sad to hear of Elizabeth’s passing. Though I have not seen her since we graduated from high school, I remember her well as a caring and friendly person.
