Liz was the most wonderful of people. She lived with our family Monday through Friday from when I was 2 until I was14. Then years later I searched for her and rang her doorbell carrying my first borne in my hip. Liz cried and hugged us and we were together again. She helped me with my children through a tough time and loved them like they were her own. I will miss her forever!! p.s. Don't even get me started about her cookies... she was famous through out our neighborhood and later with my kids too.... and the stories around those cookies could fill the internet. Love you Liz!!!!!!!!!!
