She is survived by her children Mary, Lesley and Ian, her sons- in-law Dennis and Peter, her grandchildren Kirsten and Rhys, Andrew and Fenella and her great grandchildren Anais, James, Harry and Edward. May your influence upon not only our lives, but the thousands of students you inspired carry on your generous spirit forever. We will miss you terribly, but know that you will always be with us. Together, we celebrate and honour your life and cherish our memories of you. Love, admiration, gratitude, regrets. Thanks, Mum. _ Ian. My mother is gone. The only person who I knew with absolute certainty would do anything in her power for me has gone. Her love was a privilege I am doing my best to pass on. With love and tears _ Mary. Grandma, you were the lively, vibrant, nurturing half of the grandparents I loved and adored. You were my inspiration for everything I wished to ever be. I am so lucky to have had you as my Grandma: The best teacher of my life. Love _ Kirsty. Your indomitable strength of spirit has been an inspiration, and to use your gift to help raise not just me, but generations of boys is the greatest legacy you could ever leave. You will be sorely missed. _ Rhys.
