Ruth trained with Lilias in Edinburgh and kept in touch with her in Leeds until she emigrated to Canada. This morning Ruth wondered, 'what happened to Lilias and Graham?' So we looked her up! We are sorry to learn of the deaths of both Lilias and Graham. Peter and Ruth Ward. Aberdeen. - Posted by: Helen Ruth Ward née Ballantyne (Friend from nursing days in Edinburgh) on: Aug 30, 2018

My deepest sympathies to my dear friend Liz and all her family. I had the privilege of meeting your Mom once, at Jeremy's wedding, her beauty and spirit and grace shone through that day. She has so much to be proud of in the legacy she has left in her large and beautiful family. Peace be with you all now. Love Susan - Posted by: Susan Cone (friend) on: Dec 07, 2017
