The word that comes to mind when I think of Eliz is 'bold'. She was an inspirational woman in the truest sense, intelligent, forthright, funny, the most articulate person with a wonderful way with words. She was kind, thoughtful, artistic and a wonderful person to be around. She hated to be called a 'lady', and gave me courage to object to that too. She knew so much about so many things, knew so many interesting people, and told many a story that would have you in stitches. She will be so missed.
