She was a mentor to me. A very caring professional. My prayers for the whole family.

Yesterday
For years, Liz and I were members of California Central Valley Journey for Justice. I learned so much from her. She was an advocate for vulnerable and underserved people. She co-produced Street News, a newsletter focused on homeless people's issues. She was brilliant and compassionate. She will be missed!
