Elizabeth was very compassionate and helpful to me when I was a young associate at McKinsey. I still clearly remember her kindness. Please accept my condolences.

I came to know Elizabeth because of her dedicated leadership in The Ombudsman Association and the International Ombudsman Association. She lived the values of her profession; a non-judgemental listener, a fair and forthright individual, her leadership as the Treasurer brought an unparalled business approach to the fiscal management of the organization. She was wise, kind, warm, and insightful, and my life was enriched by knowing her.

I came to know Elizabeth in the 1980's when I worked for a state agency and Elizabeth was a paralegal with Palmer & Dodge. She was a frequent visitor to the office and we spoke on the phone frequently. She stands out in my mind as being a selfless, courteous and elegant woman. When out for a month due to an operation, I was surprised and touched when Elizabeth sent a card to my home letting me know how much I was missed. I never forgot that and thought about her through the years. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

Dear Martin,

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful husband to our Liz. You took such loving care during her long illness. She and you are in my prayers. I am so sorry that the coming snow storm will keep me from getting up from Connecticut.

Love and Prayers,
