Report this message By Robert Neilson on 5th Nov 2008Having worked with Elizabeth on various occcasions over the last 20 years, I came to know one of the finest human beings I have ever met.
She cared so much for people and causes leading many campaigns which brought great benefits to all concerned. She always managed to involve the right people and organisations to back her campaigns.
Elizabeth dealt only in truth with a devotion second to none. She is someone who I was fortunate enough to have known and will never forget. God bless you Elizabeth.

Am so sad to hear that you are gone, but at least now you are with Jack, and the thought that the two of you are together at least is a comfort for all am sure.Looked up to you so much and don't think you ever realised how great you were, always putting everyone else before yourself. Am holding on tight to the happy memories of you and feel privileged to have known you. Your legacywill live onin all the work you put into your community and I hope the people of DumGal appreciated your passion for them and the issues they hold dear. xxx
Report this message By Brenda McKendrick on 30th Oct 2008I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Elizabeth. I remember her fondly as a bright, bubbly, caring person who had a genuine interest in people.
She was a 'true' professional in every sense of the word. She always took the time to listen, no matter how busy she was, which was an every day occurance in her role as Editor.My heartfelt thoughts go out to her family at this sad time. She will be sorely missed.
