Our daughter, Elizabeth Mayol, was our first child of three, which are the light of our lives. She was born at 5:14 a.m. on September 15, 1981 weighing 7 lbs 12 oz.

On June 1, 2002 Elizabeth was tragically killed in an automobile accident through no fault of her own, at the age of 20. A careless out-of-state driver was sight-seeing and became lost. The driver decided to do a u-turn, turning into Elizabeth's vehicle, causing her to lose control of her car and sending it into flipping several times.

The incredible pain that came over us that day has never subsided, and we now live with a large, empty space in our hearts that Elizabeth once filled with her laughter, her love, and her amazing smile. While we realize she is in a better place, it really doesn't do much to ease the pain for those whose lives which have been permanently shattered by this tragedy.

Elizabeth was the photographer for our local newspaper, The Franklin Press for nearly two years. She had submitted her resignation to obtain her degree in the commercial photography industry and was attending college at the time of her death.

We know God has his own plans but that really doesn't make it any easier for us to understand. Why did He feel the need to take someone who was so wanted and loved by so many. She touched so many hearts and lives, and while we know she was an Angel on earth, I just wish God could have waited to make her an Angel in Heaven.
