I was so sorry to learn this morning of Liz's death. It didn't seem that long ago that I had phoned her and enjoyed a short conversation with her. Jeff, you and your family are in my prayers. God bless you.
So Sorry to hear that Liz passed away, she was always a beautiful lady. As cousins we use to play together as children when Uncle Boy and Aunt Helen lived next door to Tony's Sawmill. I have lots of good memories over the years as we lived in Jonesboro and at the family reunions after we moved to Memphis.
