My sister was the most wonderful sister a brother could ever have! I will never forget that she bought me my first baseball glove when she worked at Oshmann's. Another thing that most people didn't know about her was that she was a super talented blues singer and won the Jimmy Dorsey talent search but our Dad thought it wasn't "lady like" to go on tour. There is absolutely no doubt that she is now in heaven and I hope someday I will see her again!

Ms Liz use to live by my mother Judy Suttle.. My son stayed with my mom during the summer and Liz would hire my son to unload her car when she got back from shopping. I loved it because she would try to pay him , he would refuse it. Then she would given him a little lecture about not working for nothing and he would come back with I do it because I like you.. She would just look at him and smile and hug him. I loved it.It would happen everytime. She will be missed for sure. He and I are praying for each and everyone of you. God Blessed.
