"Time is quietly passing. Memories are everlasting"
In loving memory of ELEANOR (NORAH ) McEWAN, who passed away peacefully 13th February, after a long struggle. We have been friends since 1947 when a group of us girls formed the first softball Harlequin's team in Bulawayo. I have treasured your friendship , Norah, through 56 years of letter writing and three contact visits to and from New Zealand. Your friend Thelma McWatt (nee Wallace ).
Deepest sympathy from Dot Morgan (nee Horton ) another softballer living in New Zealand.
Dear friend of Sunday lunches & loving correspondent since I have been in New Zealand , Marie Gillespie.

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death in London of Geoff Crimes, formerly of Kariba. He was manager of a major removals company there for many years. Those who remember him will talk of his wonderful sense of humour and larger than life geniality. Geoff and his sister Lynne were sent out to Rhodesia as Fairbridge kids, and he went to Milton School. After many years at Kariba, tiger fishing and clubbing, he had to return to Britain due to kidney failure. At the time of his leaving his dialysis in Zimbabwe was costing well over three million dollars a week! He managed to make a good adjustment to London life, so very different from the bush life in Zimbabwe, and was given comprehensive health service benefits.
He managed to attend Fairbridge reunions in Cape Town and Australia, despite his ill health, and we often met up with him in London. He would accompany us to concerts at The Royal Albert Hall, and we were fortunate enough to have him as a guest at a swish lunch after my husband Mike's OBE investiture at The Palace. He leaves a son and daughter and grandchildren in S. Africa, and his dear sister Lynne in London..

This last week I saw a condolences message for a Jess Nesbitt and wonder if there is any way you can pass on or add my condolences to the next M Mirror. I worked with Digby many years ago as he was an agent for the fuel company I worked for, and I would just like to pass on how sad I am to read the about her passing , I met Jess just twice and both times I remember her as quiet and strong willed, and a warm person who welcomed us into her home .
