    I’m deeply saddened to hear of EB’s passing, I just happen to be in Manteo visiting my family when my mom saw obit. We attended St Mary’s High School together. What a witty and generous loyal friend. My sympathies to her family.

    This makes me sad and I am still in disbelief. I don’t know what to say, Elizabeth was a special person and I remember her humor as well. She could make you laugh and I can still hear her laughter., I will miss Elizabeth
