I will always remember how warmly she would welcome me when we were at family gatherings. She would smile and say, "there's my Annie." She had a big heart and I will miss her dearly.

Mother had a flare for style and always tried to look her best. She loved to shop and spend time with the great grandkids. They in turn appreciated her cooking. How I will miss you mother. Love you forever and ever. Gerry. P.S. tell Deanna, I love her.

We called her Aunt Liz. No one else called her Liz. I was so blessed to have her in my life. We talked on the phone at least once a week. After I lost my mom, Aunt Liz would call to see how my weekend went or how our show turned out, just like my mom had done. She knew how much I missed my mom. Aunt Liz was so special to me. She would tell me how I made her day when, really, she made my day. I will forever be grateful, remember, and love her. How I will miss hearing "Love you, my dear girl."
Until we meet again....Laurie Middleton

Another butterfly to watch for in my yard. Aunt Liz was so caring and always wanted to be kept in the loop of whats happening and who is doing what. Now she is gone home to enjoy the next chapter of her life. Thank you for the memories.

Aunt Liz was my dad's best friend (Harry Buzz Middleton), and they talked on the phone almost daily. I often talked to her too, but the conversations became something really deep after my dad died. She had a special understanding of me, and I really appreciated her insights. I married the man of my dreams (John Ebo David) because of her conversation with me about a year ago (undisclosed content here). My dad and I always referred to her as "Aunt Lizard", but we never told her that. Love you Aunt Liz and life will be much less without you.
