So sorry to hear this news. I wish I would have heard before today so I could have attended the service. Although I didn't spend a lot of time with Aunt Elizabeth, I do have some fond memories.

MaryBeth and Tim, you have my prayers and best wishes for you and yours. I loved Elisabeth and wished I could have visited her but life is so busy. I thought of her often and your family as well. She was a joy to know and I intend on looking for her on the other side. May God bless and keep you.

Mary Beth, Tim and Sara - I know this is hard to say good by to your Momma and my second Momma back in high school. You will find as time goes on that Ebber touched so many other people's lives that you didn't even know. I still from time to time run into somebody that knew Mac and they tell me he was a "good man" and it makes me smile. She definitely was a part of my life in many ways. My My the stories she took with her that nobody else knows about! She was blessed indeed. Love y'all Tish and Jodi Lynn

Mary Beth,
Sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. You and I used to visit Penelope Swango at your Aunt Gertrude's home in Needmore. I've been away for many years and just moved back to Bedford in Dec.2010. Dad has passed, but Mother is still living on North Pike Road. I will keep your entire family in my prayers.

MaryBeth, Tim and Sarah - please know that I am holding all of you up in prayer through this very difficult time. I loved "Ebber" so very much. There are so many fond memories I have about her and will always cherish her in my heart. Hold on to the hope Jesus gave us - this separation is only temporary - when He is our Savior. You will see her again in eternity. May the Lord give you His comfort and carry you through this time of grief. With more love than you can imagine, Linda and Bill Kozey
