So sad to hear. Elizabeth was always a friendly and caring mail person. She will be missed.
Praying for her family Elizabeth was a very kind person she would smile and chat/wave everyday she dropped off the mail. We were truly blessed to have her.
Yes, very sad to hear! She was a very friendly and helpful person, Elizabeth will be missed!
There are no words to express, my prayers go out for her family she was a really nice lady she will be missed
