I only got to know Elizabeth in the later part of her life. When visiting her we’d laugh a lot - usually at my expense! I always found her stories interesting and often remarkable. She loved her sudoko and her quiz shows (as do I) but she was always too polite to leave Eggheads on when I’d arrive, even though I quite liked watching it too. I’d sometimes receive a frustrated phone call because her iPad wasn’t playing ball, so I’d nip over to try and fix it, always in awe of a 99 year old using a tablet for games, news and emails! I was often sent with a bunch of home grown flowers from Eilidh, which always made her week. I miss our chats and laughs but feel honoured to have been a part of her life in her last few years. I’m also very proud to say I was the one to knock Elizabeth off the wagon after many decades of no alcohol, we’d often have a glass of Baileys together, sometimes with ice sometimes without, depending on how busy the carers were. Much love, Andrew xx

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Elizabeth. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
