The last day of life she had I saw her at Church Sunday morning. She had a gift bag for me for hosting a Church meeting. It was two hand embroidered towels with our initials on them. She reminds me of Tabitha in the Bible, always gifting others with her handmade items made with love. I didn't get to know her for long, but I wish I could have. God certainly radiated His love through her. She will be temporarily missed! See you soon Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was such a joy to be around. I was always happy to see her when she came to church.She always had a smile on her face. We had planned to have our first lunch date together, but God had other plans for her.I will surely miss my friend. I loved her.

Elizabeth was such a blessing to everyone who knew her.Many times Linda and I were welcomed into her home and allowed to feel at home not only in Indiana but South Carolina as well. I will always remember the honor she gave me asking me to speak at her Fathers memorial. Another blessing she gave me was her asking me to be Santa Clause at the family Christmas party she hosted for several years. God bless her and her family

Liz always shared with me how fantastic it was to be a grandmother and how much I would love it someday. She was the kindest, busiest, most creative woman I know. She gave 200% of her love to everyone and enjoyed it. You knew going to her event was going to be fabulous from theme on. We will greatly miss her and promise to love on her Kaitlyn, Travis and her lovies whenever we can. You made the world a better place because you were here. Thank you.
