The world lost Elizabeth on June 26th while giving birth to her second daughter. How can this happen to the sweetest, caring, most wonderful person? There are so many questions we don’t have answers to but what we do know is that what should be a joyous occasion has tragically turned into a nightmare. Osman has lost his wife, and two little girls - Scarlet and baby Elizabeth have lost their mom. Our hearts are broken for Lizzie and her family. All she ever wanted was to be a Mom, and an amazing one she was!

In addition to being a wife and Mom, Lizzie was also a great friend. She worked for many years at the YMCA and ran the after school program at CMS. She cared for our children as her own and made sure to stay in contact with each one even after graduating from there. She became a big sister to so many of our children and part of our families. She had a heart of gold and would do anything she could for anyone! During this extremely shocking and heartbreaking time Lizzie’s family needs us. We would like to collect donations of diapers, formula, and / or any donations that will be used for her girls in leui of flowers. Any help is greatly appreciated ♥️.
