You were not just a sister n law to me you were a big sister. I will truly miss you but you will always have a special spot in my heart!!! I love you Lizโค Vivan Akins

I met Liz through her brother John who dated my sister for several years. When we moved to Franklin I was able to get to know her more. She was one in a million. A friendly spirit with an ambitious attitude, Liz lit up the room with her presence. I appreciate the opportunity to have met her. Sending our prayers and condolences to the Akins and Nevils families especially Don, Lamont, and Donavan. Also to John and his sons (my "nephews"). So sorry for your loss. - Marnice Crawford Smith "Boo"
