I rented the basement from her when I went to DMACC back in 1981-83. She was a wonderful landlady. I would often find meals waiting for me when I came home after school or work.She took a genuine interest in how I was doing. When I was ill, she had soup or some other remedy for me. She allowed me to work off a little of the rent by cutting the grass, scooping snow or walking the dog. She was a special lady. My thoughts are with you all.

I was so sorry to hear of Elizabeth's
passing. She was a very special
client, and I will miss hearing her country western music playing as I came down the hall to her apt each Friday. So sorry for your loss.
