Having had the pleasure of spending 4 days together with her in Havana together with her for the primary Havana Membership Membership Cocktail Maestros competitors, I used to be drawn to her lovely smile, light spirit and exquisite soul. Everybody was. You couldn’t assist it. She had an inside magnificence that shone via and touched everybody she got here involved with.
Throughout the time we spent collectively she was completely happy, constructive and brimming with enthusiasm for the competitors and her fellow rivals. She was excited and actually wanting ahead to spending just a few additional days in Havana to find extra of the town. Earlier than I left, I keep in mind hugging her tightly and promising to see her again in London. Then the subsequent factor I heard, she was gone.
It’s been two weeks since she handed and I can’t recover from it. Nobody can. I nonetheless see that smile, I nonetheless really feel that hug and nonetheless really feel her infectious power. Life might be so bloody merciless and hers was taken far too quickly.
Whereas we wait to listen to the complete particulars of what occurred, my coronary heart goes out to her household, mates, colleagues and the stunning group of bartenders she related with throughout her time in Havana. They’re all naturally completely devastated.
