Happy 22nd birthday, Liza! We love you!

Finally, the video that was shown at Liza's Celebration in Asheville. I credit her many friends for putting this together but most importantly Mary Lawson Cox and her assistant, Sophie Manning.

      You are so kind to check in 💛 I’ve heard the grieving process referred to a windows and waves and it’s certainly true. Not a moment goes by that Liza is not a the forefront of my mind, but sometimes the thoughts are surrounded with positivity and other times I weep for what the rest of us (me especially)no longer have. I pray that our time on Earth is just one stop among many as our souls evolve and connect and reconnect.

      My husband and I are traveling with my son and his girlfriend for two week. There are tough times (Liza was always my travel companion) mixed with what will become beautiful memories, and I guess that’s ultimately what life’s all about. 💛

      Raye Lynn, I don't know your experience but you are so amazingly thoughtful. I sent a private message a while back thanking you for checking in. I hate to add another post because I like the video her friends created to be the most current. This journey through the loss of a loved one is sooo incredibly hard and it really helps to have community throughout. Not an hour goes by that Liza and/or Edie is not in my thoughts. The hurdles and the waves of grief never stop coming. Today I found a large envelope of Liza's work from elementary school that I had set aside to give her when she had children entering school. When I packed them, I never imagined that I wouldn't share them. Instead I envisioned us laughing and me telling her funny stories about her childhood. Maybe one day I'll feel hopeful again and can add a post, which likely no one - but the two of us - will read. Thank you for your caring nature.

    Hi Laura! I’m sorry I didn’t get your private message! I would’ve responded! I will reach out there from now on. I get why you wouldn’t want to post over this post. It’s a GreAt One ❤️. Thank you for your kind words…sending peace, prayers and positive vibes 🫶🏻 Have a good day🫶🏻 Also, I think A Lot of people still read this…maybe they just don’t know what to say. Idk, but Liza captured me…her story, her journey, her zest for life! I truly Live Like Liza and I Thank You for that! 😇..

    Laura, I thought you meant private message on messenger. I don’t know if there is one on here?

      If I could find you on Messenger, I would. But at the top right of my posthope screen there's a tab for messages
