Got an email while I was away last week telling me that Elizabeth died about a week ago in Panama. She had returned to the hospital for just a couple of days. Marlene, the director of the orphanage, visited her there but she was unconscious the whole time. For the past couple of months she has been living with her sister after her latest bone marrow transplants.
She was a courageous young woman who endured far too much abuse, abandonment and illness in her short 19 years.
I am sure she is in a better place now.
We will miss her beautiful smile and warm hugs when we visit the other girls in February 2007.

That's really sad. I'm so sorry to hear that.
You know what I think. We chatted about it earlier.
