Just returned from the funeral of my dear colleague Louise Page, who passed away as a result of a rare bone cancer at the age of 42. We met on the Common Purpose course a few years ago. On that course, a small group of us bonded and have stayed in touch - meeting for meals, sharing work stories and supporting each other. Her funeral was uplifting and a real reminder to enjoy life and friendship in the moment and appreciate the beautiful things that come our way to the fullest. She told me she was looking forward to hearing my Steve Martin story next time our group met up. I was looking forward to telling her it, just to hear her laugh. Unfortunately, due to her illness, that never happened. She will be missed and I'll never watch Jurassic Park again without thinking of her (which is a good thing!). Au Revour Louise.
The "after crying" picture of her in this post is one taken recently by Scottish photographer Rankin for his "Alive: In the Face of Death" exhibition. A BBC documentary featuring Louise's involvement in that project will be shown on BBC Two's Culture Show on 1 June 2013.
