I'm so sorry to hear of Liz’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW

I'm finding it hard to put into words how much Ms. Liz helped me and my daughters out through the years. I rented her mothers house on Cooper St. in WM for 15 yrs, a long time. She became more like a second mom to me. She would always call to check on the girls and I, and if she though I needed fussed at, well she would give me a tongue lashing. those 15 yrs, I always got a Christmas gift, a call on my birthday, and when I was late on my rent she would call and say, hey sweetie, when are you gonna have me some money? When there were some bad moments she would say, now I know you have your mom and dad but if you and them girls need anything, you know to call me. All the time she had her own children and grandchildren to worry about and help. Her and Mr. Buddy could not have been any better landlords if they tried. They never went up on my rent, they did alot of work on that house that I miss so much, but never ask me for anything extra. When my mom passed away in 2006, she was there with hugs and prayers . I still went to see her from some yrs after we moved out of that house, and she was like me she loved to talk, and Mr. Buddy would try to get in the conversation and she would say, what Buddy? What? I want all of her kids and grandkids to know the love she had for them. Even though like any parent she would get so upset with them and say, I just want to ring so and so's neck. She never turned her back on them, and she never turned it on me. To the Follis family, I know when she stepped through those gates of heaven, my Mammy and Paps were there to tell her, Thank You for all she and Mr. Buddy did throughout those 15 yrs., and that we wouldn't have made it at times had it not been for their love and understanding. My thoughts and prayers are with this family as they go through this difficult time, and just know how much I loved sweet Liz...... She would always say, Carla, you booger you, what am I gonna do with you. RIP, and I love you to the moon and back.
