I would like to nominate my sister-in-law, Liz, for the Legacy of Love caregiving nomination. In June of 2025, my brother Steve was diagnosed with brain cancer, and from that moment until his passing in March of 2026, Liz became his constant source of care, comfort, strength, and love.

She walked through the unimaginable with him, managing appointments, treatments, medications, hard conversations, long days, sleepless nights, and every emotional weight that comes with loving someone through terminal illness. But more than anything, she made sure Steve never felt alone. She protected his dignity, advocated for him, loved him fiercely, and gave him the kind of care that only comes from deep, selfless devotion.

Liz carried so much while also grieving the life they thought they had more time to live. Her love for Steve was steady, brave, and beautiful. She is the definition of a caregiver, and her legacy of love deserves to be honored.
