Not sure what to say?

I'm stunned...she seemed timeless.

Elizabeth - a long-time supporter of civil rights and human rights, both here and abroad.

Just now aware of her passing. She was an inspiring woman and will be missed. I had the pleasure of working closely with her as a Cleveland-Marshall Law student on Street Law and mock trial. I also had the pleasure of having her son a student while I was a Shaker teacher before switching careers.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Please accept my condolences on your loss. May your memories comfort your heart; and God help your family during this time of sorrow. Isa.41:13

An inspiring woman who touched this seventh grader with the possibility that there might be alternatives to the lock-step mentality that pervaded our schools in the late '50s. Her belief that "It's OK to be different" has held many of us in good stead since then and throughout our adult lives. Liz Travis was truly an original.

Many many important and fond memories of a wonderful feisty Elisabeth--Go back to childhood on Lincoln Blvd.

Kyle, John Henry, Fenner, Lucian, and Lilly,

I am so sorry to hear of your mother's (grandmother's) loss. I shall miss her. I shall keep you in prayer for God's comfort and assistance.

Dear Kyle and John Henry,
You have lost both your dear parents so recently, how difficult for you. I send my condolences and know that you have many wonderful memories of both of them. I too remember some good times with them and your dear grandmother Lily. I send my love to you both.
