May 28, 2022 at 2:25 pmI was so Lucky to have Liz in my Ageless Learners Bible study at Faith Methodist church She added so much to our group. We really hated to see her move. I felt lucky to have known her. I remember when she was passing out samples at Meijer, she would always give our 6 year old grandson extra samples of chocolate cake our cookies. She will be missed
