Besides taking care of her mother in her older years, Lizzie loved to write letters to her Siblings and nieces and nephews. She was the one who keep every one up to date, she would get a letter and would add it to her own letter and send it on to another sibling. By the time her baby sister in Montana would get a letter she would have 6 more included, Lizzie walked to the Post office every morning with letter in hand In her later years she looked forward to her nephew Everett Moss stopping by and bringing her something he grew in his garden or taking her to the store and having a good visit.
