January 11, 2015

Born December 25, 1993, Christmas Day, at home in Tecumseh, Michigan to Daniel Ray and Jamie Marie Poling.

What a special Christmas it was that year. I felt it would be a special honor to have a birthday the same day as Jesus, but I don't think that she thinks that.  

I remember going to their home after she was born and getting to hold her. 

She joined the family of 1 sister Brandie 8 and 2 brothers Charlie 4 and David 2.

I remember when she was around 2 years old and you would call her to come to you and see would set her head up high and walk right on by ignoring you.  I think of her when I call my cat to come to me and she walks right on by like I said nothing to her. 

One year when she was little she came to our house on Halloween dressed in a purple dinosaur costume. 

After Elesha outgrew spending the night so she could set the table before holiday dinners, Elizabeth would set the table for me. 

Elizabeth had fun playing with siblings and cousins when the family got together for holidays and for birthday parties.   

When she came to our house, she liked to go the neighbors to see the puppies, kittens, and horses. 

Elizabeth would help when her family came over to pick up sticks, rake leaves, and pull weeds.

She played on the home school volleyball team.  We went to several of the games. 
  
She helped put up our Christmas tree and decorate it for several years. 

My screen saver on my computer has the message “I love my grandma” that she put on it.

She cleaned the garage and set up tables and chairs for us before we had our annual fish fry for the church senior group a couple of times. 

She cleaned our living room and dining room carpet when we had the furniture moved out.

We had the privilege of hearing her sing at her church in a youth choir and a duet. 

Her home school graduation was in May of 2012 at the Nazarene Church in Adrian.
