I will never forget Elizabeth as the brightest and best humoured girl in my class at Sacré Coeur. So sorry I never caught up with her after our school years, though she was often in my thoughts. I am proud to be a fellow supporter of Médecins sans Frontieres, and pleased to make a donation in lieu of fllowers as she has requested. Requiescat in pace, Elizabeth. Flis Bridle (née Holloway)
