We loved Lizzy and her family. She felt like a sister to us. She was always there when we needed her. She had a kind heart and precious spirit about her. I have no doubt that she is with her Lord and Savior and is happy and pain free! Till we meet again Lizzy!
We loved Lizzy and we felt like family. We have known them for at least 60 years. We will miss hearing your voice and the times we laughed and cried together. We know you are with your baby girl, friends and family that have gone before. They are greeting you with loving arms. This is not good bye but see you later!
I am so sorry that Mrs. Baxley has left us, but I know she is no longer suffering and I pray for you Mr. Baxley and for your family
I would like to say we loved Liz and considered her a part of our family during holidays and the years we knew her and Willard. She will be greatly missed for all she did for our family. All the great stories and love she spread to every one she met.The Emmerts Dan , Kay and kids.
