Very sad to hear of Liz passing, had some fun times, with Red Hat Ladies, working and dinners at Hunter's, at work, and just catching up. Daughter Mel has fond memories of learning piano.
Sadly missed by so many people

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I have such fond memories of Elizabeth during my childhood in Twizel. I think I spent more time with the Higgins family than my own. Sending love and my deepest condolences during this time.
