Wayne and I were so sorry to hear about Liddy´s passing. Wayne grew up next door to her and I had the privilege of getting to know her as her neighbor in Braehead woods. We had many talks over the fence when we were out gardening in our yards. She was a sweet and caring woman. She was so proud of her yard and flowers and especially loved her dogs. I was always happy to help her with whatever she needed and it saddened me greatly when her memory began to fade. My husband and I moved away from Braehead several years ago and thought of her often. She will be missed.
