Liz has been a constant, loving presence in our lives. We cannot remember a time without her, there at every significant stage and milestone. She was warm, kind, funny, intelligent and curious, interested in the detail of our lives and always ready with a story or experience to share (usually long, convoluted with many sub plots!) Unfailingly generous, welcoming, resilient and strong. Childhood memories revolve around our two families: Liz and Doug, mum and dad, and us four children- Alison, Roger, Sally and Ailsa - and the extended network of family and friends. Horley and Honiton Road, shared Christmases and summer holidays, Budleigh, Exmouth Woodbury, Haytor and Shanklin. Happy, sunny times. Liz and Doug were a bolt hole for me at university in Exeter, a time which cemented and transitioned a loving childhood relationship into an enduring adult one that sustained. For Sally, Liz’s honorary grandparent role when Matt was born led to her sharing holiday support with Beryl, Gordon and Doug. Another layer of the ongoing extended family in place, added to as Ellie and Katherine came along a few years later. We are hugely grateful that Liz has been in our lives and for all the happy times and memories. We will miss her dreadfully. Ailsa and Sally
