I am so grateful to have reconnected with you over the last few years via Diana. The three of us enjoyed our lunches together - always good fun- and we were so pleased that we could have our fantastic Savoy /Sunset Boulevard outing! Your strength, courage and good-humour have been inspirational. There are times when we all need to be ‘a bit more Claire.’ Sending love to your family x
