Ivy,
I will always remember your good humour.
When Panny and I were 14 and 15 and thought we were incredibly grown up..you tolerated our cheek and always managed to have the last word and bring us down to size....but with humour and warmth....
You were never angry or nasty...you managed to be connected to us but in a detached way which enabled you to cope with our juvenile egos without crushing them...
Nicely done!
As a mum myself I am still in awe of how you managed that..!
Despite the many other achievements in your life and all you were and are to so many..
My memories of you will always be of my good friend Penny's mum.
