   PHOENIX (AP) - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross,   
   a psychiatrist who revolutionized the way   
   the world looks at terminally ill patients   
   with her book "On Death and Dying" and   
   later as a pioneer for hospice care, died   
   Tuesday. She was 78.   
   >   
   ================================   
   >   
   There was only one thing Elisabeth Kubler-Ross hated   
   in life -- to have her name misspelled as EliZabeth.   
   I know becauseI 'm humbled to say I knew her personally   
   and we became dear friends. I'll cherish her  memory,   
   long with her expertise, her wit, her charm, her courage   
   and her unbinding love for her fellow man.

   <   
   <  Let me not pray to be sheltered from   
   <  dangers but to be fearless in facing them.   
   <   
   <   Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain   
   <   but for the heart to conquer it.   
   <   
    <  Let me not look for allies in life's battlefield   
    <  but to my own strength.   
   >   
   <  Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved   
   <  but hope for the patience to win my freedom.   
   >   
   <   Grant me that I may not be a coward,   
   <   feeling your mercy in my success alone; but let me find   
   <   the grasp of  your hand in my failure.
