Saddened to hear about the passing of Shelagh Kavanagh last September, through your website.
I met Shelagh on the 16th October 1971 at a party in Altrincham, Cheshire, at a time when she was living in Fieldside Road, Rock Ferry, Birkenhead, with her elderly mother. Slightly older and a great deal wiser, she was nonetheless part of my growing up and never to be forgotten.
Just happy to learn that she had a fulfilled and rewarding life, in a place where she spent most of her student and adult life; and that she was clearly loved and held in such high regard by many.
