ELIZABETH H. BERGER

Lizzie was my freshmen year roommate at Yale. She and I slept in a bunk bed in what had to be the smallest room on Old Campus. She was a force of nature; eclectic, creative, personable, fearless. An impactful life ...well lived.aqq1q1

Sending my sincere condolences.

Even now, ten years later, it is hard to believe that Lizzie left us so soon. She was a force of nature. Brilliant, versatile, multi-lingual among other virtues, Liz Berger left a lasting legacy through her work in NYC. She left a lastring legacy in my heart.

Lizzie Berger was my freshman college roommate. She was a composite of energy, creativity, fearlessness and originality. She livesbin all of us.

Phoebe, I was so saddened to read of your mother's death. I hadn't made the connection until I read the article in the nytimes today. You were in my class in the library at 234 and I remember you always listening to the books I read aloud, with your beautiful wide eyes, so earnest and engaged, appreciating the deeper meaning of each book I chose.. Do you remember when I read the book, Because of Winn Dixie by Kate di Camillo to your second grade class? I think your teacher was Laura Siskind,...

She was always so much fun to be with! I remember the day I met her, and how she very quickly became important to Repertorio and to me.

We miss her terribly.

I was so saddened to hearing of her passing. Liz helped me survive high school showing me how kindness and individuality and courage could be combined together successfully. She was a fantastic human being.

I was very sorry to hear about Liz. She was a camper at Lincoln Farm camp in the summer of 1975 (I think it was) when I was a counselor. (Although I was a boys' counselor, I got to know her and a few other girls.) I remember her as extremely intelligent, sophisticated, articulate, ironic, and very spirited. My guess is that she remained that way as an adult. I'm very sorry for your loss.
