Her work lives on
Lizzy acted on her dreams and dreamed of acting. She accomplished both in 13 short years. Please visit her website www.troopbatteries.com
She never stopped caring or thinking about how she could make other people's lives just a little bit better.
She was not afraid to speak her mind or pass on her thoughts - even to the President when she felt that her words and prayers may offer comfort.

President George Bush 4 July 2004

Wash D.C.
Dear Mr. President:
My name is Elizabeth Lulu. I am 11 years old, which is too young to vote this year, but I do watch the news and I do talk to my friends, family, and medical caregivers about how important being patriotic is for America to grow and for us to remain free.
I understand how difficult it is for you to make everyone happy, and how hard it is for you to make some of your decisions when you know that some people may be hurt or, worse, die as a result of your orders.
I was born with Cystic Fibrosis. It is a genetic disease that kills many kids and young people every year. Sometimes my doctors have to order tests and procedures that hurt me, and could even put me at risk of dying. But they, like you, have to make the tough decisions so that we can all make progress for a better future.
Sometimes I don’t understand why I need to suffer, and sometimes I know that it makes people sad when I have to suffer through my treatments, hospital visits and therapies. I know that my family doesn’t always agree with what the doctors may want me to do. But I do believe that while everyone does not agree with some of the decisions, everyone does agree with the goal.
I think that in a way your job is the same. Some people may not agree with all of the things you do, but most people do support your goals for freedom and a better future. So don’t give up. I have learned that each time I survive a difficulty; I get stronger and more able to face the next challenge.
God bless you and God bless America, because with God as our partner, we will always do the right thing.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Lulu
