Hello - I wanted to inform you of the tragic news that I just received.
Lizzy Benway was a great lover of romance books and a great asset for anyone interested in romance books and information has passed away. Her friend sent me the e-mail below. Lizzy provided me with a great place to find new books and view beautiful romance pictures. She also hosted my site on her romance books site - Elizabeth's Book Collections and More. Please visit Lizzy's wonderful tribute to romance books and their authors. I loving memory of one of our own - a truly dedicated romance reader and writer http://www.angelfire.com/fl2/ebenway2/home.html
Hi, my name is Mary and I found your link on my friend Elizabeth "Lizzy" Benway's site. I wanted to let you know that "Lizzy" and her seventeen year old daughter Michelle were killed in a single car auto accident last Monday in Florida. Conditions from Katrina may have played a factor in them going off the highway and slamming into some trees. Elizabeth or "Lizzy" as we all knew her, was a great lover of the romance genre and all that it entailed. She worked tirelessly to promote not only the authors of these wonderful books but the great sites (such as yours) that fans could go to and find just what they were looking for. I am trying in some small way to make sure my friend Lizzy is remember on all the sites she had links to and that everyone who pays a visit to them will stop and think of our Lizzy up there telling the Angels what a "hot read" she had recently. I am sure she will start a site up there if it is possible:) Any small thing you can do to just acknowledge her on your site would mean so much to myself and all her friends and family who miss her so much. Thank you so much for your time.
Blessings,
Mary Hanson
