Many years ago, I babysat for Robert and became very fond of Leize during this time. She hosted my first baby shower, which was the most generous and beautiful event! I am just heartbroken to hear of her passing. I hope Robert is doing well, and I send my love to him and all of the Glover family.

With all my love,

So sorry to hear of Leize's passing. What a sweet your lady she was - so much like her mother. My mother and I were very fond of Evenlyn. I will miss her at meetings we attended.

We are so sad to hear this news of Leize's passing. We have known Leize for over 18 years, since she sold us our first property on Kiawah. She has been a wonderful friend throughout the entire time. We hope that Robert has loving care that can somehow replace the unconditional love that Leize had for him. We will miss her smiling face and her good nature. She will be missed by everyone who she helped throughout the years. May she rest in peace with Ben!

Blessings to all.
