To the family annd friends of Liz,



I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Liz at Second Harvest. She was the kid sister of our work area.



She always made me laugh, especially after her latest adventures with hair color, school or her weekend fun.



We used to love to hear stories about her family life and would tease her about the peanut butter sandwiches that her Dad made her for lunch....At which point she would look over the book that she happened to be reading at lunch and say a one liner that would break us all up.



She will be missed. But she will be with me everytime I eat a peanut butter sandwich on white bread.



Take care,

Sue Odland
