My thoughts and prayers to Liz's family and friends. I fondly remember Liz during our school days at St. Paul's as well as running into her during our college days at Memphis State. She was always kind and fun to talk with catching up on old time.
I'm truly sadden to hear of her passing - she was a wonderful person. God bless the Eckles family during this difficult time.

I met Liz while I was in the Selmer Jaycees. She was the meaning of a true friend. She had a special love for all her friends and made a huge impact on everyone she talked to. She always believed in you and showed you how to believe in your self! She was definitely and angel here on earth and how one in heaven! Liz I will always cherish your friendship and our talks we had late at night when other Jaycee members where a sleep!
Sending my love to you above!!

May prayers are for your family's comfort. Liz was a great teacher and leader in the Jaycees. She taught me more about running projects and meetings than my home chapter did. She was also willing to accept people the way they are without judgment.
