Aunt Liz was an amazing sister and wonderful aunt. She was my mother's 'big' sister. I will remember being told about taking Gert along on her dates after their mother's passing. This included teaching her the manners used in that era. After mom graduated college, Liz made some of the clothes she would need for her first job. She would do whatever she could to be there for her sister in their younger years and in the years to come.
When Aunt Liz visited Michigan, even though having no children of her own, managed to put up with Gerty's children. Not an easy task for someone not accustom to kids being around. She always managed to love us :-)
