My dearest Laurence. Seems like yesterday that we were together. I feel sadness deep in my heart to know you’re not here with us for the rest of our lives. I still remember the first day you warmly received me to Wivenhoe and welcomed me into your home, the beautiful table setting and the most wonderful meal. I knew then, that I was very privileged to meet you. I am thankful for the treasure trove of memories, wonderful times together, many laughters, great conversations, wisdom and advise. I thank you for your support when I was grieving for my parents, and now I know how to be stronger to grief for you. Always in my heart. Silke x
