Liz was the pillar of our family. Her humor and sarcastic wit got us through so many hard times in life and will serve us well in this time of grief as we have lost a very special soul. She was always willing to go above and beyond to provide for her family even if it meant sacrifice for herself. She taught us to be hard working and respectful and we are better people because of her. She will always be in our hearts.
