Thank you to everyone for your generous donations in memory of Lisa. It is the sheer scale of this tragic disaster that has made us all realise how fragile we are.
Lisa had embarked on a life changing trip that she had planned and saved for over many months. She was bridesmaid at my wedding on Phi Phi Island and had remained there for Christmas which she spent with very dear friends.
As those of you that knew Lisa will always remember, she was a great joy to have around. Fun was always to be found where ever she was.
Christmas night was one of those nights, with Steve, Craig, Liz, Greg and many other new friends. They all laughed and joked and shared special gifts. They remained on the beach until the early hours and together went back to there rooms laughing and enjoying life.
Sadly Lisa didn't return with them. But if there is one thing she would want us all to take from this experience, it is that life is meant to be lived and not to be wasted on trivial things. She would have been the first to try and help the people of Phi Phi Island and she would agree that the Long Tail Boat Captains are a deserving choice for her memorial.
If we are ever able to make sense of this massive loss of human potential, we should remember happy times and that miracles are rare and few but that if you knew Lisa, one had touched you.

Thank you all once again and please email for any information you require and please keep in touch. We'd love to hear from you.
