What a sweet Christian lady, she will be sorely missed by those who knew her. When my mother-in-law Dorothy Dvorak lived at Appalachian Christian Village, Mary Elizabeth was a friend and neighbor to her, and was so good to look out for Dorothy's welfare. We were blessed to have her as a part of our lives.

Mary Elizabeth was our friend. So sorry for the families loss. We also live in the Tower at Cornerstone. We would sit together for meals at the Tower and over at Sherwood. We would talk in the lobby all the time waiting to go in for meals. She will be missed!!

To Charles and the rest of the familyj: It is always difficult to lose a loved one, especially your mother or grandmother, but you can rest assured that Mary Elizabeth can now rest from her labors and enjoy the Lord's presence along reunion with her loved ones who have preceded her to heaven.

We are so sorry for your loss. We live in the Towers, and Mary Elizabeth was on our floor. We often joined her for meals and enjoyed her many stories. She also often shared her excellent cornbread with us. We will miss her.

She was more of a mother to me than my own. I loved her more than words can express. She will always be in my heart. I know she is with our Father now and one day I will see her again. She was a special, loving woman. There is no doubt that God welcomed her with His arms wide open and said, well done good and faithful servant. You will be missed mom. Good bye for now, Don
