As Elizabeth and I sifted though clothes on our Repeat Boutique shift we discovered something very funny; we are related.  Neither of us could tell how, nor did we try very hard, since it was really the Kitten and Bednarz families that we married into that connected us.  Although our research skills were running low, there was never a lack of laughs or fun.

 Elizabeth and I first became friends when we shared our provisional year with the Junior League.  She was always sweet and kind and genuinely interested in people and the things they had to say. 

 Her charisma and kind heart made an impact on everyone around her.  Her love for her kids made everyone go home and love their family more.  Her closeness to God made those that might not be convinced, know that their prayers were heard.

 Elizabeth’s patience and calm demeanor stays with me, her smile makes me smile.  Her life has made mine better.
