My condolences to Liz and her family at this time of such sorrow. May you rest in peace my dear.
One of a kind...heart of gold. Amazing leader. Almost to another birthday
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.
Liz was always so kind in every interaction as a Memphis Jaycee. She really cared about her community and giving back. Condolences to her family.
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!!
I met Liz at work not long ago and was very sadden when I heard the sad news. She was a very sweet friendly young lady and most definitely will be missed. Praying for comfort and strength for the entire family and friends in Jesus name we prau.
My thoughts and prayers go to Liz's family and friends. I will always remember her as the fun loving girl she was. She'll be missed by many. Our paths will cross again!!!
Liz will be missed by all who know her always had a smile and HAPPY WORDS to say.
So very sorry for your loss.
Love hugs and kisses.

Thoughts and prayers for all.
Saddened to learn of Liz’s passing. She was a firecracker! So glad to have met her through the Jaycees. My prayers are with you all.
Liz was my friend and I will miss her.
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.
Praying for the family during this difficult time. RIP Liz.
