I am so sad to hear of Liz's passing.  I especially remember her in elementary school in Oneida Castle.  We lived not to far from her while we were growing up. I remember playing with her in her back yard when they had goats...now that was something to experience :)  My condolences to her family at this sad time.  I also dealt with one of her brothers when purchasing my plot in the Oneida Castle cemetary a number of years back.
