Sister Elizabeth was such a blessing to our family. It was a blessing to have been in church with her for many years. She had the heart of gold & will be missed. The family means so much to us. We are praying for you all.

I was so blessed to be a part of her church family. Her love of God would shine through. Her prayers and shouts of joy will forever be my favorite memory. What a reunion day we will have.
