A beautiful butterfly now free of its binding cocoon . Godspeed Elizabeth.
My sympathies to Elizabeth’s family, friends and loved ones.
While I didn’t know Elizabeth, I know her family member Nancy who spoke of her and we prayed for Elizabeth. From her obituary I can see that she was a special gift from God that he generously shared with this world for but a short time. I pray that all who were touched by her are better people for it and that your grief is overshadowed by the joy she brought to your life. My deepest sympathies to all of the friends and family. He light shines bright at the feet of Christ.
