Dear Kath, in February of 2000 I stayed for one week in your wonderful backpackers in Golden Bay. I think so often of those days-- and each time I do, my heart is as full as it was in that moment, as I remember the lovingkindness and humor and wisdom and warmth and grace you and Tony showered on me! Those were such happy days! And I had always hoped and dreamed to get back for another visit, but... life. Discovering today that Tones has sailed over the horizon, I am heartbroken for you -- and for myself. What an amazing man. What an incredible life. He touched so many hearts -- and minds. And the time I was blessed to spend in yours and Tony's company will forever be one of my most cherished memories. Trust and pray you're keeping well, Kath. With much love from the Florida Keys... and with thanks for the beautiful difference you made in my life. Carol
