Sue and I met when we shared a suite, while on a 10 day wine tour of of Umbria. Anyones who knew her knows that Sue had powerful gravitational force about her - I felt immediately close- like sudden soul mates.
This news has taken me completely by surprise, and I am devastated to hear this tragic news.
Zachary has been through so much - I pray he can overcome the grief, and channel all the best of his remarkable family into a new life.
So so sad, Olvia
