Jenny, you walked into my life on a cold winter evening in Auckland in 2002, apologizing as the ferry from Waiheke had been delayed, You hated being late! We connected straight away and you filled the next twenty years of my life with so much love, understanding, support and fun. I have so many wonderful memories of our life together, we took so many amazing holidays, had so many fantastic experiences and shared our lives with our beautiful dog Monty, who gave us so much love and joy.
I wish so much that I could sit down with you and laugh about when Monty sat against the newly painted wall in the house and had a white patch on his side for weeks, talk about the time we saw dolphins swimming off the stern of the ship while we had dinner sailing down the coast of Italy, having tea on the Nile and then visiting the Temples of the Pharaohs, swimming in the sea in Crete, drinking cocktails in Mauritius and The Keys in Florida, watching the sunset in Santorini, walks with Monty in the Dorset hills, beaches and fields, a pub dinner in Poundbury, weekends at the cottage with Sandy, Martha, Ally, Monty and Oscar. I have so many beautiful memories I could sit here and fill a book with them.
I admired you so much, your strength of convictions, your unwavering support and compassion for anyone who needed it, your intelligence, your beauty, your laughter, your kindness and your smile - these are indelible marks in my heart and soul .
Thankyou so much for giving me so much of yourself, for all those experiences, and supporting me always, even when things were hard and tough you were the kindest and strongest person.
I miss you immeasurably.....
