Sadness and condolences to your family from a long-ago apartment neighbor in Chicago. You were such a sweet person to me and my son. I admired your way with words and your joy for life. Sorry we lost touch. Rest in peace.

To Fred and Family: Elizabeth was among my dearest friends at Wellesley Class of 1966: she invited me to your parents house for New Year´s in Sophomore year, and she came to visit in Mexico and Costa Rica, while I saw her in London. She was my first connection to Jewish holidays and I learned a great deal from her. She enriched our lives in many ways. We shared the German Corridor with her and remember her often.

To all family of Liz Block,
I met Liz through a website called couch surfing and she came to stay at my house in Venice once while she was visiting her mother.
She stayed several days and we developed a friendship, and she would call me whenever she came to Venice and we would get together over a glass of wine. I loved her upbeat and clever personality and her confidence. She always asked me to come and visit her in London, and one summer I showed up and spent five nights at her home while touring the city. She was always waiting for me when I got home to engage about what I had seen and felt that day. I knew she had been sick, but had not been in touch with her for sometime. I wrote her an email and upon not hearing from her decided I should check the obituaries, sadly. My condolences to the family. You have lost an amazing person who led a bold life! I´m happy that I got to know her.

Liz was a bright light in my Tower Court Class of ‘66 days. She had a remarkable chuckle/laugh that I’ve never forgotten; bet I could pick it out even now. She came to my wedding and visited once in Wyoming, but then we lost touch. I remember that she was the first to coin the term “gridlock” in an article written in the ‘80s for a national magazine; the term lives on. Liz was so bright, so full of vim, such a force.

Elizabeth shared Tower Court with several classmates at Wellesley College (Class of 1966), and we are sorry to learn of her passing. Sally McMillan, Barbara Buddington, Nancy Evans and I extend our deepest condolences, especially to her brother Fred. Liz came to visit me in Mexico and Costa Rica, and we shared some time in London. We definitely remember her bubbly spirit and passion...about everything. One of my earliest experiences at College was a discussion on whether Shakespeare was intolerant. Longer political exchanges about the world at large stretched our insights, and made us grow. More recently, she helped by advising me how to obtain financing in London for a non-profit company based in India : a woman of many trades and many friends. We shall always think of her fondly. Ambassador Elena Wachong.

No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind. However, take comfort in knowing God is with you and your family lean on him in your time of need. Please accept my most heartfelt condolences.
