LIBBY BRATEMAN

I met Libby as an undergraduate in 2003, and she was my adviser for my Master's and PhD degrees. In the 15 years I knew her, I learned from her so much more than mere physics. She was always an example to me of strength, perseverance, and integrity. I was honored to take her place when she retired from UF, and I try to follow her example when guiding my own students. I will miss her greatly.

Libby was a friend and a mentor to me as a graduate student at UF, as well as an inspiration for living as a person of faith. May she rest in the shadow of G-d's grace.

We are all deeply saddened and shocked by the untimely news of Libby's passing. She was a gift to all who really knew her. May her soul be at peace with Hashem.

Dr. Brateman was a fantastic physicist and an even better human being. If I have just a tenth of the impact she did on the world, I would consider myself successful. Very saddened to hear the news. I will miss her.

In Loving Memory.

Libby was such a kind, intelligent, and friendly physicist who made even our early AAPM committee meeting bearable. We bonded early since there aren't very many physics majors from birmingham Southern. I will miss her. My sincere condolences to her family.

Dr. Brateman was the residency director during my residency. She was very kind and very dedicated to her work. She was a perfectionist and required us to be one too. She always taught me the details of everything including my grammar and my pronunciation of the z sound. I will always remember Dr.Brateman as a mentor, a very dedicated physicist, and a friend.
