You couldn't help but warm to Loz. Her energy and bubbly nature put you at ease and pretty soon you had a fun, loyal, caring friend.
Luckily for me I found myself in the accommodation next to hers in first year at university. And we grew close, enjoying 3 years together.
As well as all the fun and laughs we had, I admired her diligence, intelligence and maturity as she studied through university. And it no doubt inspired me to study more than I would have otherwise - it's highly unlikely I'd have found the silent level of the library if it wasn't for her!
During our university placement year she secured a highly sought-after internship in Washington D.C. for an NGO, while most students were just trying to get any reasonable job - incredible. I went over to meet up with her at the end of her internship and we had so much fun travelling between Niagara Falls and Boston, Cape Cod, New York and finally D.C. where she proudly showed me where she'd been living and working. If it had just been down to my organisation it wouldn't have been such a successful trip!
We enjoyed some great times together, and, although we went our separate ways several years ago, I am so sad to think she has gone.
Her drive to do something good was clear and had evidently persisted. Looking through all the memories people have shared I'm amazed at all the important work she has done, helping people who need it and highlighting important issues. But I'm not surprised.
It's clear from everyone's contributions here that she more than left her mark both professionally and personally. She clearly won't be forgotten.
I'll remember her beaming smile and her laugh, and will always be thankful to her for the confidence she gave me.
My thoughts are with Donie, Margaret, Geoff and Fiona and all her much loved friends x
