Dearest Liz, we were the first QAS girls to be allowed to join the Reading Youth Orchestra, on condition that we didn't talk to any boys! So Thursdays nights we escaped into Reading with our instruments , and you made it all such fun. You taught me the piano too and we both sang in the choir. A truly wonderful friend.

Lovely Liz - such fond memories of my perfect violin & piano teacher. You set me on the right path for life, and guided me through those critical first years of musical experience with a steady hand, warmth and understanding - forever a part of me!

Farewell Liz, I will always treasure our wonderful friendship.
How can I forget trudging around nearly all the art galleries in the UK with you, in our spare time, while we were on tour with Sadlers Wells Royal Ballet. We had such fun!
Your energy,love of life and sense of humour was an inspiration to us all, you will be greatly missed.

To the cherished memory of the extraordinary and wholly individual Liz, who taught me the violin, godmothered our first daughter and taught all of us about friendship.

I met Liz in her Cambridge days. From 1979 she trained me as a musicians' landlady in Bristol. Invariably she was working Bristol on April 4th. Her 50th and 60th birthdays were celebrated in our house; both memorable occasions. Then in June 1979 there was her very special 'thank you to landladies' party in Birmingham. It was a unique and never to be forgotten evening. I shall miss her company visiting stately homes and exhibitions - a very special friend.

Dear Liz. I have always valued your friendship - both in the Royal Ballet Sinfonia and afterwards. So many laughs in bandrooms and digs "on tour". I will miss you.

What an amazing person, friend, godmother to my daughter Becky, and what memories I have of Peru, China, sharing digs when with the Ballet, visits to churches, stately homes,concerts and operas over the years. You were an inspiring and generous person and we will miss you so much. Jane and Becky, Dorset.

Liz,
You were so kind to us as soon as we moved into Berestede, just 12 short months ago. Your enthusiasm for life was inspiring, and your natural ability to make friends and include all was wonderful.
Vaya con dios.
