Karen, Sandra, Barney and Camille,

There is little that I can add to what Liz has already said. I was in Greece when I heard about your mother's death and my immediate thought was of her wonderful smile. I remember visiting you as we were growing up and you came to Morristown or when we periodically came to Louisville. And I also remember when both of your parents were able to come to the Litz reunions in White Pine. Their obvious joy and love was so evident to everyone. And they spread that love to everyone that they met. Now, they are having an endless reunion. It's sad for those of us who are left behind but our memories help to sustain us. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. With much love and sympathy, Cousin Margaret

Conrad and Martha and I crossed paths in the late 1990's. Conrad and I are first cousins. We arranged a meeting at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City, Florida. I couldn't believe how much Conrad looked like my Father. With Conrad was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, Martha. Over the next few years they traveled to see us quite often and stayed in their RV in our yard. We had so much fun getting to know each other. I loved them both; so did my husband, Jerry. Both were interesting, inquisitive, loved life, pitched in to build a camp fire, cook, you name it. May they both rest in peace together. Love, Ginny and Jerry Miller

It is with great joy that I reflect on my history with Martha and Conrad and think how blessed I was to be related to them. There are few couples who could match the loving relationship they had and the love they extended to everyone around them. While sad that yet another of my dear relatives has left this earth, I take great satisfaction in knowing that Conrad and Martha are once again together. You have my sincere sympathy and love, Cousin Elizabeth
