I greatly looked forward to our visits to my aunt and uncle during our trips to NZ. We were always assured of a warm, embracing welcome, and after a walk through the garden and a check up on the growth of the olive trees we would sit on the terrace and be treated to a delicious lunch reminiscent of our time in Tuscany together where wine and conversation flowed together with much laughter. Auntie Liz always joked with me how I shouldnt call her Auntie but somehow it felt important and I knew she didnt really mind too much!

A kind, caring woman. So clever, so knowledgeable. Patient when you had a question, but eager to share what she knew. Wish I could have known her better. Peace for all dealing with this difficult time
