'It was the fighter in Letty that brought her to prominence amongst her people and made her a thorn in the side of many a politician, for her dogged pursuit of justice for her husband, Douglas. For her memorial service and funeral, Letty requested that no one wear the black of mourning, but to wear happy colours as she loved all the colours of the rainbow and all the colours of the family of mankind.'
