I have worked with Liz over the years. She was one of the first SFT folks that I met back when I first started working at Steelcase. I wish her family the best and pray for peace.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Liz's passing. Having been neighbors for many years to her parents, we have witnessed her kind heart, and giving spirit as she regularly visited her mom and dad. She was a loving daughter! Our prayers go out to Sarah, Gordon, and the many members of her family. May she Rest In Peace. Doug and Mary Redick

Deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Liz's passing. Our prayers go out to the family and look to the comfort of this assurance: “I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 4:13, 14). As believers, we have hope of the resurrection promised by God.
