I am sadden to read of the passing of Mrs Steiner. I worked for Elizabeth's mother and dad as well as some of my other brothers during high school and knew Elizabeth when she would drop by the service station owned by Mr and Mrs McLendon in West Helena. She must have been a great person if she was anything like her mother and father whom I have great memories of. My prayers are with the family at this time.

To Bobby & family,
Elizabeth was a beautiful person inside and out who helped us appreciate the beauty of this world through her art and flowers (especially her roses). Our prayer is that God grants you all peace through knowing that she is in a place where she no longer suffers from the ills of her physical body, but has been given a new body in Christ. Love to all.

Don't think of her as gone away, her journey's just begun. Life holds so many facets; this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, from the sorrow and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the
hearts of those she touched. For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much.
