Deepest sympathy to Stephen, Thais, Sydney and all the family.
I met Anais, known as "Tuppence" to me, when she was 15 years old. She immediately bowled me over with the beauty and brilliance of her being. Throughout the years she awed me with her intelligence, wit and zen demeanour. A golden highlight in my life was visiting her for a month in London in the late 1980s. Who better than with her to share riding all over atop double decker buses, conquering the Hampton Court maze in no time flat, listening to the cathedral organ in Cambridge, seeing Vanessa Redgrave perform live in Orpheus Descending, taking in a Covent Garden opera and more? After losing touch for some time, in recent years I was lucky enough to have hours of engaging and fun phone chats with her and I will miss them profusely. On a special note, I am grateful for how wonderful she always was with my children, Wilder and Hayley. I will love her forever.
