I loved Dr. Myhill, she was never just a professor to me, she was my friend. I could just come right into her office, sit down in her bean bag chairs or right next to her and talk about anything or nothing in particular. I remember her offering me whatever she was eating and she was always so easy to get along with. She wanted everyone to succeed, and she rocked those awesome black boots...I love her so much, so much.

I really don`t know why I googled her name after all these years .She was a special friend to me even though it was only for a few years ..I will always love her . My deepest sympathies to her Family .

Dear David, Sam and Oliver,
Liz is one of the kindest and most compassionate individuals that I have ever known. After my daughter was born, I had a pretty severe post pardum depression.When my daughter Elizabeth was 17 months old (Oliver and she are just about the same age), Liz invited me into HER neighborhood playgroup. It was a difficult time for me and Liz's kindness, inclusivity and friendship greatly helped me to heal. I still have photos of the kids when they were little. Liz was a true friend to me, and especially instrumental in helping me adjust to Motherhood. I will NEVER forget her! If the boys ever want to talk to me about my memories of their wonderful mother, I would be happy to do that. I may even be able to dig up (with a little work)some of those old play group photos. I am grateful to have had a friend like Liz. She was a blessing in my life. My deepest sympathies to you David, and to your boys, Sam and Oliver.
With deep sympathy and forever fond and grateful memories,
Leslie

Dr. Myhill was a wonderful person & teacher. I had her my freshman year of college & my sophomore year for Geology. She was vibrant, funny, and always had a way of making us laugh at 9:30 in the morning. I will miss her very much.
