AuntElizabeth was so very dear to me, and I loved her so much. She was my Aunt, my second Mother, and my mentor. Having her in my life has enriched me as an individual, and her faith and works reflected her love of the Lord.

My condolences to all of you. Aunt Elizabeth always held a special place in my heart. I tried to visit her when I was in Peoria last month, but she wasn't feeling well the day I called. My love to all of you. Robin Moir (Barrack)
