    Elizabeth was a professional and personal delight. I have been a client of Elizabeth’s for many years, following her to Synovus and back. She was kind, thoughtful, helpful and the best banker I have ever known. We talked about our kids often. My sincerest condolences to her family. She will be missed on countless levels.
