Liz was a wonderfully perceptive woman, though a bit eccentric. I worked with her at St John's Provincial Seminary (1982-87). We were in Israel together, slept out in wadis in the desert. A great friend (and advisor) of Bishop Untener, very humble and self effacing. A beautiful soul, with a great sense of humour. May she Rest In Peace.
