We, the family of Lizzie M. Greene would like to express our sincere appreciation for the expressions of love and kindness extended the family during her illness. Your thoughtfulness will always be remembered. May God continue to bless and keep each and every one of you. - Charlie P. Greene, Jr. & Agnes B. Bush
Special thanks from Lizzie Greene... Let my life be an example of how a life of giving is rewarding. You all know that I enjoyed my life and strived to do good deeds to ensure that my living was not in vain. When I became unable to reach out to others, I found myself surrounded by loved ones to care for me. I let go and let God. Today I want you to listen to your own heart and respond to that that is good. Goodness is of God. Embrace it even when it is not clear. Just trust in God. Let go and let God and witness his touch. Thank you all for letting God use you to care for me. This was five years of a challenge mixed with fun and laughter and I love you for it. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I will see you again.
In Loving Memory of Lizzie Mae Greene... Grandma will always be rememberedfor the sunshine she brought us. She expressed the joy in her heart by giving and ensuring that all was lovely. It breaks our heart to know that others will not get to meet her. We have learned from her and hope that our living will be a reflection of her in Jesus name. She left us with a good lesson and holds us accountable to spread love, practice patience, to remain productive all the time. Be a happy and have fun. Enjoy a life in sharing. It is worth it. Your Grandchildren.....
