Liz loved to travel, especially with people she loved and adored. Her adventures lead her all over the world, and each of those adventures made memories and stories that will live on in our hearts. Her last wish here on earth was to look out for each other. To be a good person, and live life wisely but fully.

Some of her favorite hymns were; He Lives, How Great Thou Art, and I'll Fly Away in which she would sing often. She will always be remembered and adored for years to come
