I loved Elizabeth, over the years we spent a lot of time together. She prided that she was one of my longest customers and she was. I’m so sorry for your loss, she was so proud of her family, absolutely her favorite topic. Thoughts and prayers to all.
Mama was a very special lady. She always had a smile on her face. She also loved them grand babies. She will be missed my many!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Anna will be truly missed by all of us at Greenhurst. She was for sure one of a kind and could always make us giggle. I will miss her so very much and miss our popcorn dates after supper.
I loved Elizabeth and my heart hurts for all of you. I loved her canned dill pickles, one meal she fixed has stayed in my memory because it was made differently than my momma. Chicken fried steak that she left in the oven while we were at church. It was fork tender.
