Re: In memory of Gill Watkins
Such a terrible loss for Mark, Daniel and Sara, made all the more devastating for it to come at a time when Gill and Mark were moving on from the massive success they had made of Armortek and were just starting to write the next chapter of their lives.
Gill had the rare talent of being a tough business woman one moment and a warm and caring friend the next. I will miss our phone calls, which always seemed to turn away from tanks and on to other random subjects such as animals, holidays and family.
I will also treasure the chats we had and the support she gave me when I was going through my own loss.
I do hope Mark will read these comments and see the great affection in which the whole Armortek community held and hold them both.

Re: In memory of Gill Watkins
It struck me so deeply to read such sad news.
In telephone calls or e-mails I always experienced Gill as a charming, friendly person.
I'll never forget her delicate sense of humor which was always to the point.
Tonight I will remember her in the sight of my MK IV that would not exist without her charming persuasion.
My deepest condolences to Mark and his family.
With grief in my heart

Your personal loss is felt by all of the "Armortek Family" , I think, and so it should rightfully be.

Such sad news. It was dealing with Gill some years ago that made me such a fan of Armortek. She will be missed by all.
