My prayers are with all of you. I only met her once when i visited and i enjoyed getting to talk to her.
Elizabeth was my 1st cousin and I can remember going to Aberdeen to visit our Aunt Annie and Elizabeth and her family would always come while we were there. I am sorry for your loss. She was always a sweet person and we loved to be around her.
Haggard and family. So sorry about Elizabeth. Remember her coming to my store and she was always in a great mood. She will be missed by friends also. Much love to all of you.
Will miss her.
Elizabeth was my first cousin. I have great memories of growing up in Mississippi with her, Wyvonne, and Wayne. I will miss her. To Haggard and the family I send my prayers, thoughts, and sympathies.
Haggard and family, so sorry for your loss. I thought the world of Elizabeth. She brought her mother to Ruth Ann’s beauty shop at the same time I brought my mother, Mattie, to her weekly appointment. We always had a laugh talking about the Methodists and Presbyterians of Vaiden. Prayers of comfort and peace for you all.
