One of my favorite memories is Lester the Duck. When she was young, Liz came across this little duckling and insisted she had to take it in and nurture it to make sure it survived. Its primary habitat became their backyard, where Larry and Shelley had planted a row of sweet green peppers. Lester thrived under Liz’s care. He also proceeded to eat the tops off every pepper plant they had planted. They thought they had lost that year’s crop of peppers, but amazingly, the pepper plants came back and thrived, producing the most abundant, beautiful peppers they had grown! Lester is a symbol of Liz’s nature. Liz had a kind heart and gentle soul. We love you, Liz. Aunt Cindy and Uncle Steve
