Sad news, fellow snigglers: Dear Alison, My name is Helen Smith and I am Neil's sister. Unfortunately I am contacting you with the sad news that Neil died suddenly last week. I am not sure when he was last in contact with you but in recent months his health had deteriorated. We knew he had developed some problems with his heart/circulation but no one had realised quite how serious these were. We believe he suffered a massive heart attack. I'm sorry I don't know how Neil became friends with you but I do know that he valued your friendship. I would be grateful if you could let me have a contact address as I may need to contact you further. Yours sincerely, Helen Smith
