I met Lizabeth at the Kaiser Permanente laboratory in 1990. Both of us worked in the evening and gradually began to get to know each other. I was always very amazed at how Lizabeth helped so many people. All of them came to her with their problems and Lizabeth always advised them, looked after them and tried to help them. She not only helped them emotionally with advice and support but also helped many of her colleagues with their work in the laboratory. They came to Lizabeth for her professional opinion. 

I would like to start with a simple reflection by mentioning my deep admiration for you and your mother and thanking you for this friendship of so many years. 

I met Lizabeth many years ago. it was 1974 and we were at the Service of Cytopathology and Cancer Control of the School of Medicine in Universidad de Chile.
