Very sad week for my grandson Reed. He lost a good friend this week . Reed is best friends with his brother Bryce.
Lizzy wants to send balloons to heaven for him after her funeral on Monday. We will light a candle for him and please light one too for him.
Please add this family to your prayers and my grandson Reed.

That is just so sad, keeping you all in my prayers
Hello Lizzy's Nina. I'm sorry to hear about the passing of this young man. My condolences to his family. I am writing though, to remind you to enter the contest to win an Ipad on SMAspace courtesy of GSF. I think Lizzy would love it. That's all. Have a wonderful week.
My grandparents were from Saunemin and surrounds. I was on the web looking for some info. about Livingston County and came across Lizzy's page. I have a 3 and half year old girl named Emi...and seeing the video of Lizzy brought me a lot of emotion. She is such an inspiration!! Her beautiful smile and eyes show us all the tremendous power of love lies in the most fragile among us. Many thanks to Lizzy. My prayers are with Lizzy and you. with love, richard meadows
