Message from Britain, I am step daughter of Elisabeth Ann nee Tooth, Diana’s sister. (Though I was adult when my father Alan Malcolm Smith was married to Liz in 1979). Elisabeth Tooth passed away 4th Feb 2023 and her husband my father on 16th Feb. The funeral was 25th Feb at All Saints Church West Bromwich, W Midlands uk. They were both doctors, consultant obstetrician & gynaecologists. Liz did not have any children. Liz was very sad when both her sister and Eric, died. I was very happy to meet Diana and Eric’s elder son and his wife here before and at the funeral. We had a double funeral. My condolences to all the family, Williams’ .
