We have decided to hold a memorial gathering on Saturday October 10. This will be mainly personal remembrances of family, friends and colleagues with a more formal scientific conference to be organized later, perhaps in the Spring. Everyone is welcome. More details will be announced here as they develop, but I wanted to announce the date as soon as possible for planning.
For those of you from out of town who want to come, we have gathered some hotel information. The first two are in the campus area, the other two at Briarwood, a shopping mall a few miles from campus.
Campus Inn 734-769-2200: Only a few rooms at $184 single and some deluxe rooms at $214. More may open up in a week or so.
Bell Tower 734-769-3010: Only a few rooms available on October 9, more of the 10th. $165 single.
Holiday Inn Express 800-345-8082: $98 with rooms available
Kensington Court 734-761-7800: $119 with availability
An obituary has appeared today in the New York Times and will be repeated on Sunday. It can also be seen
online. There is also a notice on the webpage of
ISPNE, one of the many professional organizations in which Elizabeth was active

Hi Peter
Thank you for keeping up the blog. I know that a number of people have come here of late not only to hear the latest information but, if they had been unaware of this blog, to look back at how things had evolved from the start.
Even though I'd been following this blog all along, I just went back through it. It's truly an amazing document of your and Elizabeth's journey. It's such a unique mix of specific medical developments, descriptions of the quirks of hospitals, thoughtful explications of medical rationales and procedures and a restrained yet vivid rendition of some of your emotions throughout this ordeal.
One of my favorite posts is the last one by Elizabeth, from May 13th, describing her garden. Reading it makes me realize that, in spite of the huge struggles, there were also good moments for her during the last few months, and I am so glad she took the time to enjoy them and mark the experience.
Peace...
