Thank you Jessica for remembering Susana Walton in your blog. The world lost a truly great lady when she passed away on Sunday. I also lost a wonderful personal friend whose kindness was only matched by her boundless enthusiasm. One of my most cherished memories of her is watching a film of her late husband in his old age gingerly climbing some steps on a rare visit to England and Susana grabbing my arm and saying “every time I see that film I am so afraid poor William is going to fall” (and the way she spoke his name ‘William’ was always very special!). Susana created a most wonderful garden at La Mortella, and was every bit a special person in her own right, in addition to all the amazing and extremely conscientious work she did preserving her husband’s legacy. I will miss her deeply, as will I am sure every one who was lucky enough to get to know her. I’ve put together a brief personal memento video of some of my visits to La Mortella which you can see on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XAm7o9RHsQ
