I send all her family and friends my condolences. This was an untimely loss of a vibrant & colourful character who played a particular role in my life. The role was drawing together two totally disparate parts of my life. To explain: my sister, Nicki James, talked of a friend from Oxford called Jude and I met her way way back. Then I met a man up a mountain who eventually married someone called Rosy Taylor and I discovered she too knew Jude from Oxford. This helped keep me in touch and I have since married Rosy's second cousin! Jude touched my life - and made it richer and more colourful. Thank you Jude, Liz James
