Philippa ... I remember her with love and respect ...She was one of my best friends .. I remenber the moments shared since we met at Telegraph church more than 20 years ago ... Philippa welcomed me at her home when my Belleville flat was too noisy... we often chatted in her kitchen around a cup of tea ... We ran together on Saturday morning aux buttes de Chaumont ... I spent a great Christmas with her and her mom in England ( my first English christmas) ... We went to Turkey together ..she visited the area of my childhood with Nora . She has been my witness to my weeding ...I attended her marriage in England.. . yes the memories are not lacking ... I am grateful to God for the impact that Philippa had in my life ..for her courage, loyalty, depth, rigor, sense of service, integrity, faith, her search for an authentic Christian life ANNE MARIE
