2010 and Liza is still with us.<br />
<br />
We were honored to have known her and to have become friends. She, Tony and Trey from Metropolis were tremendously helpful in our launch and our staff still talks about Liza EVERYDAY! She would be so proud of them and how far they've come.<br />
<br />
We miss you Liza and remain dedicated to the values you instilled. Words cannot express how thankful we are for what you did for us and for all of your help.

She would come up to Milwaukee to hang with me and my friends from Anodyne and we spent a lot of time together in Grand Rapids recently at Coffee Talk. The amount of coffee knowledge that this girl had is insurmountable. She was always learning/teaching/repeating and did it with such an intensity and passion that showed anyone, barista or not, that this girl was going places with coffee.<br/><br/>But even more than just a barista, Liza was an exceptional person. Always a smile and never a bad word to say about anyone or anything. She truly touched me and so many others and we will never forget the impact she had on all of us.<br/><br/>It hurts me to say I was actually supposed to be spending this weekend with her; catching up, talking about our competition blends, and throwing down at Noble Tree. Anyone who is in Chicago this Sunday, please get a hold of Tif (Liza's roommated) as I believe she is planning a memorial ride that night for Liza.<br/><br/>We love you Liza.<br/><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><img alt="" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/34558099?profile=original"/></p>

To all the friends and family of Liza hugs and prayers go out to you from Tucson, I have many friends who love their Bikes as much as they love coffee and it is sad to loose such a positive influence.
