I knew your mom in Houston in the early 1980's through the English Dept. at the University of Houston. We took a couple of poetry workshops together. She was a very generous person and put up with lots of questions from me. I used to go to your house near Rice Village and we would talk about poetry. I once took her some of my poems and left with a kitten! A friend from Marfa just walked in to where I work at UT in Austin and told me she had heard that Elizabeth had passed away. I'm sorry. It makes me sad to think she is not in the world anymore. I treasure the time that I knew her. She is someone I will never forget. Laura & John,

Elizabeth was a very kind and supportive presence for me when I was a new student in the Creative Writing Program at UH in the early '80s. We used to visit when she came in the Brazos Bookstore, where I worked. I still have a fossil she brought me after I housesat for her while she went to the Hill Country. I am sad to think that she's gone from the world now, but her memory lingers in this loving tribute you've made for her. She was a force. Laura and John,

I complimented her for her well-researched reviews in the local paper. She lit up upon hearing this recognition of the extra effort she put into her reviews. She'll be missed!

She was one of my first customer and so helpful in her words, soothing my budding insecure creativity, a generous spirit. The smile is coming back when I remember the trip to Austin we did together in her car, the same car that broke down on the way and left us stranded on the side of the road, it was an unexpected adventure. So long Elizabeth, have a great one on the biggest adventure of all... I remember her with a smile on my face, such an interesting, passionate, supportive and funny human being.

We have remained friends through nearly fifty years, mostly separated by long distances. We kept in touch by phone and email, and whenever I returned to Texas, by visits. She sent me her poetry and prose, and was always happy to discuss her work, her life, politics, world affairs, or anything else, and was always sharp and well-informed. This is a sad loss, but I am glad that Elizabeth was a part of my life for so long. Elizabeth was one of the first people I met when I entered Rice in the fall of 1960.

John and Laura, Elizabeth was one of the most generous, intelligent and challenging people I've known. I'm terribly shocked and sad but grateful to have been called, and will be at the service in Houston Sunday. Oh, Elizabeth, how much you’ve been in my thoughts these last few years, in

I've never known anyone else who could, in the space of 10 minutes, be so alternately delightful, funny, razor sharp, passionate, confounding, profound, candid, unexpected, exasperating and loving. We were her colleagues and friends at the Sentinel here in Marfa. We'll sure miss her. Oh, Elizabeth!
