I remember a beautiful girl in a 1980's class with a lovely memorable name, so gracious when I asked if she was related to professor Ammar. "Yes, he's my father."

I don't know if I ever told you HOW MUCH I admired you for your quiet dignity and strength when others treated you poorly!! I love you my Liz... I will miss our coffee time... Our jaunts to the stores!! So much fun we had!!!! I will never forget the times you were there for me when I felt like my heart was breaking.... You were such a comfort to me!!! My God.... We had a life full of all kinds of things!!! I will miss you sooooo much..... But I know we will see each other again one day!! I love you to the sky my Gizzard!! Cherie

Liz was a very precious and sweet soul. She was concerned with others, and her cats, over herself. It seems rare that such a beautiful soul should touch the
earth and leave a lasting impression on people that knew her. No matter what life threw at her, her heart remained unchanged, and all the love she had inside; she shared with others. With such a pure loving heart, there really was nothing in life that could ever destroy that within her. I am sure God took her home, because he wanted this beautiful soul with him in heaven for eternity. I feel so blessed and happy to have had the oppurtnity to have this woman as my dear friend. I am rejoicing that Liz is with Jesus and happy. God bless your soul, Liz, I love you and miss you so much. One of the last things you told Cherie was, "I miss our girl talk on Cheries porch." We will see you on the porch in heaven for coffee one day, my sweet friend.
