    I was devastated when Lyle passed and then Liz. Ken and I knew both of them for about 25-30 years. They loved each other unconditionally and showed me that love says it all. I try to put flowers on their graves each Memorial Day. Rest in peace both of you and if there is truly a chance to see you both again, that is my wish.

  • My thoughts and prayers to Liz and family.  This is my friend that I will miss alot but he is no longer in pain.  Love you both
