I just learned of Elizabeth's death, with sadness.
I remember with great pleasure the friendship we shared when I lived in Newfield. We would walk and exercise together 3 times a week, summer and winter, then have breakfast. Elizabeth was warm, kind and sensitive and I was glad to have her as my friend.
My condolences are extended to the sons she loved so much and to her brother and extended family.
