Fortunately, my boyfriend came with me for moral support. Elizabeth knew me as a "Side B" guy, so I think she'd be proud on multiple levels here. I have a picture if you're collecting them, but don't know where to send it.

Elizabeth was a very unique individual who lived life to the full and didn't let her disability stop her from fulfilling her dreams. Our lives have been enriched because of who she was.

Shall be applying the temporary tattoos with the children after bath time this evening. As a family we were all sad to hear of Elizabeth's passing, the children and I have loved getting mail from her these last few years.
