A favourite quotation , sometimes attributed to the poet , Maya Angelou , is ' Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away ' . The quote captures the essence of our fabulous, loving friendship with Bonnie and Richard spanning 35 years. The highlights included holidays together in Antigua and St Maarten and also visits to Washington and New York. We even visited the White House, with assistance from Scotland Yard and the FBI !!
In London it was our great pleasure to take Bonnie and Richard on a special tour of Buckingham Palace and also Clarence House , the home of the late Queen Mother and now Prince Charles. We also visited Westminster Abbey and Chartwell, the home of Winston Churchill . Bonnie exuded warmth and kindness and made us laugh, most memorably when she once screamed with excitement as the world famous Royal Air Force ' Red Arrows ' flew low over our garden . Richard nearly spilled his champagne !!
Bonnie was a bright star in our lives and we will always treasure the great joy she gave us, together with Richard.
