After my marriage failed, I moved in across the road from Elizabeth and Geoff in the mid 1990's. We became instant friends. I don't think that I would have survived as well as I did without them. Always laughing and welcoming. Elizabeth (I always called her that, even though she told me not to,) and Geoff were difficult to leave when I remarried and moved out, but we kept in close touch ever since. Geoff amazed me they way he responded to the loss of his dear wife. His positive attitude was down to what he called "doing what Betty would want him to do" I will miss my friend dearly,he cannot be replaced.
