A love of reading with her nose inevitably in a book. A love of butterflies and all other living things. A private person who brought joy, warmth, creativity and caring into the world. Making mixtures in her den to sell for pine cones, dancing round the maypole, taking part in plays, playing the piano laughing at terrible jokes. I return the compliment you gave me as I left Cotherstone School - smart, kind, noble and wonderful.
