Vale Patricia Badock

My much admired mother-in-law Pat Badock passed away today.
Much loved mother to Elizabeth, mother-in-law to Harry, grandmother to Toby and Rory.
She was a great supporter of her family and of Elizabeth’s Bookshops from its foundation in 1973.
She sewed together the Honan squares that were the floor-covering of our first bookshop in Nedlands, was a lender-of-last-resort on many occasions and was always encouraging, supportive, enthusiastic and very proud of the Elizabeth’s brand.
On Friday morning, 7th January 2011, she passed away just after winning her last hand in a game of bridge. Such style!
We will miss her very much.
You saw in me what I hoped to be. With love, Harry.
