“ I am sorry to have to inform you all
that Lil Arrowsmith passed away on 15 October. Lil died following a relatively short illness although she had
been in a nursing home for several years.
Those of you who remember Lil will know that Lil and late husband Alf
showed Cairns under the
Thimswarra affix, their most famous Cairn was Ch Thimswarra Roulette and Alan
and I also made up our first Champion, Ch Thimswarra Estelle in 1981. Lil and Alf were great supporters of
all the Cairn Clubs but particularly the Midland and I don't think they
missed a Championship show or dinner until Alf became ill. Both of them loved America and paid
several visits there and made quite a few Cairn friends over the
pond but I think that Lil had
lost touch with them somewhat in recent years. I kept in touch with Lil, ringing her
every few weeks and visiting her at Christmas and her birthday. Alan and I visited only two days ago when
we were told she was ill. Lil never
changed, she had the same mischievous laugh and enjoyed life to the end. Lil leaves a son,
Alan and a daughter Maureen and I send my
condolences to them and their families.
Funeral arrangements will be posted here as soon as they are
known." Linda Firth Funeral Arrangements; The
