What a lovely obituary, what a remarkable woman, and i wish the family healing prayers and that the memories of Elisabeth be filled with love...

Never met this lady, but to know she was from Austria during the eve of WWI is amazing. What she may have been able to share regarding the history is awesome and her life is so much so! May you rest in peace.

Elisabeth and Ken are together again. Thank you Elisabeth for being such a warm, wonderful person. You were the best type of doctor's wife: one who truly cared about your husband's patients.

You pulled over your car (the famous blue Tercel?) and told me to BE CAREFUL up there. Thank you for everything.

It was so great getting to know Elisabeth in the little time she was at Homestead. I already miss her accent! Such a strong woman and definitely a fighter! Rest in Heaven Queen!
