I so wish to thank all of you who have taken the time to sign the guest book. All of us were blessed to be touched by her wisdom and kindness, in her legacy please all share the peace she so wished for the world. We can all make a difference a little bit at a time just as Elizabeth did, this is what she would have wanted.
Thank you for being a part of her life, I am certain you all made a large difference to her as she spoke to me of her experiences and friends often. My sympathy is also with you in your time of loss.

Elizabeth was a zealous member & tireless participant in the Olympia Soviet Sister City committee days & went to Russia with us in 1987. In a strange sort of way we reached our goal although not as we expected. I liked her very much & embraced her courage & enthusiasm for doing the right thing. Her life was a good & meaningful one to all who knew her. I was honored to be with her & sympathize with her family.

To know Elizabeth's story is to discover how men and women grow up and out of war. Her presence reminded me of the old saw, "Let's you and him fight," You and Him being all of 19 years of age. Elizabeth, we old people don't fight no more. Thank you for helping put a stop to the madness.
We will continue in Rachel's name, but with you and Steve in mind.

To the Spirit of Elizabeth: I was so glad to have been able to help you (with Ken Schwilk's frequent nudging) to finally be interviewed for the World War II Veterans Project. Actually, it was Carole Watson, head of that project, that called me and said she had read your death announcement in the Olympian. She said she had interviewed you just 3 weeks before you died! Carole very much wants to get your story to your remaining family, if at all possible. And she wants anyone in VFP who cares to, to listen to your story also.
Elizabeth, I knew your time was near, and I loved the way you so courageously and graciously lived out your last days on Earth. You were an activist and a protester against the status quo right up to the end. You did not complain about getting old and miserable. You continued to speak with righteous indignation about the actions of our governement and corporate hooligans. You were a role model. Tally ho!, and come back soon, girl! Love, Julia Moore

Elizabeth, your spirit and compassion will live long and honorably in the work of those you have inspired. Thank you for your unwaivering commitment to the principles of peace and justice. You never stopped believing in what is possible. That faith, and the dignity with which you bore it, will be carried forward by generations not yet born and with it your legacy.

Elizabeth - You were an inspiration to me the day I met you and I always enjoyed talking with you about the world in which we lived since that time. I am truly humbled and honored to have known you in this life and miss your presence here with us today. Your spirit for all we frail humans are truly worthy of lives strong and will only grow in the years to come.

I always enjoyed talking with Elizabeth throughout the nearly 20 years I knew her. She combined a personal warmth, a common-sense commitment to peace and social justice, and an endearing sense of humor. She could see things more clearly than most other people could.
In the 1980s she traveled to the USSR with a group of people wanting to replace the Cold War with peaceful relations. She knew that ordinary people were only being hurt by militarism, and that real people were basically the same in every nation.
Likewise, in the 1980s she recognized that the concentration of the news media in a few giant business corporations were limiting the range of information the public could hear -- and distorting the truth in ways that were self-serving to big business and their allies in the Pentagon.
Elizabeth was always able to approach public policy issues from an exceptionally humane and common-sense approach, rather than from anger or cynicism. She always believed in the power of ordinary people to understand the truth and to act on behalf of the well-being of all humankind. Perhaps her experience of having lived many years in several different countries gave her this broad and wise perspective, but I think her wisdom and compassion came from her own deep-seated values of appreciation for humanity.

Even though I only had known Elizabeth for about one year, she enriched my life. Her dedication to Peace in the world and the actions that she took was an inspiration to me. The world is a better place for having Elizabeth on it for over 90 years! May God Bless Her.
