Hi
I am posting this message from the UK at the request of Liz Finney's husband Neil.

It is with great regret and sadness that I post to inform the TBPI community of the sudden death of
Liz Black Finney.

Liz formed the charity TBPI UK some 6 years ago to support those injured with a TBPI in the UK

Liz will be well known to a great many members of UBPN having attended a UBPN camp some years ago and through the message boards here at UBPN and also at her own message boards in the uk.

Liz and her husband Neil along with her fellow charity trustees have worked tirelessly helping people with a TBPi for many years. She has helped to raise the profile of the condition and treatments to a much greater degree and has improved the lives of many people with her help and advice.

Liz was a warm, generous person, it was impossible not to like her and to be amused by her sense of humour.
Her common sense and "can do " attitude to life in spite of her injury were truly inspirational.

Liz died on Thursday October 16th very unexpectedly, leaving all of us who knew her totally grief stricken.

I know that it will take me and my family a very long time to come to terms with the loss of such a wonderful friend.

Rest In peace Liz

My thoughts and prayers are with Neil and his family right now. I remember meeting Liz at my first camp. What a great person. Liz will be missed dearly by all at UBPN.

Liz will be missed and my heart goes out to Neal and her children and grandchildren.

Liz was a major force for good and the founder of the tbpi group in UK. She shared her knowledge with everyone and of course her GREAT sense of humor. She will truly be missed.
