I have been trying to find your wife (mother, grandmother) so I could thank her. She counseled me in Ohio at Mark Dielmans office about 12 years ago. I was a mess back then. She never gave up on me and showed me the love of God. She really made a big difference in my life! I'm so sad that she is gone. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing woman. I can't wait to thank her in person when I go to heaven. What a day of rejoicing that will be!

I am so touched by the beautiful tributes
to your wife & mother, Kampfe family. She will always have a special place in my heart & I cherish the memories of our friendship many years ago here in Canton. She was truly"one of a kind". I was always so struck by her
intelligence, good common sense & most
of all her deep faith, which certainly
helped my in my faith journey. She is
at peace now resting in the loving arms
of Our Lord. May the precious memories
you hold in your hearts bring you comfort & peace in the days ahead. May
God Bless all of you & know how blessed
you were to have her in your lives. I
have missed her so much over the years
& yearn for those wonderful days when
we were young mothers enjoying our children & sharing our faith - she truly was a gift to me & opened the door to not only helping me understand
my faith, but planted a yearning in my
heart to grow deeper & to really"know the Lord". God Bless all of you.

I am very sorry for your loss, I was shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. I went to her for counseling and had the great privilege of knowing her for about a year. I wish it could've been longer but I will always cherish the time I did have with her. She really helped me see my self worth and taught me to feel better about myself. Elisabeth was a good friend to me. I always appreciated how caring, kind and compassionate she was. You have my sincere condolences and I will be praying for you.

My sincere condolences to your whole family. I just saw the paper this morning and was shocked! She was my counselor and friend for years. She helped me through my dad's suicide then a year later through the murder of my husband. She was a true pillar of strength and faith in my life. We even talked about our children and she gave me Rachel's cd. I will miss her more than words can ever explain. As her family...be very proud of her. She shared with me so much advice and wisdom.She truly touched my life.
