Gwyn and Brynley,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of Elaine, of her taking me to music for a retirement village, of doing a "chocolate test", her encouragement of my woodwind instruments and singing, and catch-ups over the years. Sending much love to you from Melbourne, Australia.
Leonora (formerly Emma, daughter of the late Richard Weston, Elaine's cousin).
