She defined a pure, child-like love that saw the rest of humanity in the best light.

Liz has always been fiercely loyal and dedicated to keeping family relationships eternal and remains unmatched in her dedication to beloved friends. She overcame many obstacles as she grew up and set such an example of spirit, courage and love. The earth has a huge void, but heaven has gained an incredible and precious asset. She is now back in her mom and dad’s arms, laughing and active with great joy.
