Liesa, Haven't seen or heard the news yet today. Just logged on to the forum and couldn't believe it when I saw your posting. What a shock, Pavrotti and Dame Anita in a week, how awful [msncry].

I was lucky enough to see Pavrotti at a Three Tenors Wembley concert and will always remember a magical evening.

Anita Roddick has a more personal significance though, as I was one of her early customers. I was also priviledged to accompany her to present the 'Against Animal Testing' petition to the European Parliament in Brussels. She was the most amazing woman, her energy was incredible and I can't believe she's gone.

Heard this on the news last night, was shocked to hear another amazing woman has died (Don't forget about Jane Tomlinson also lost her figght last week).

[LiesaAnna]

oh yes of course, Dear Jane Tomlinson, what a wonderful woman, she most certainly had a place reserved in Heaven, God Bless them all xx

Wow, money can't buy a long life can it. I didn't realise Anita Roddick was 64. Jane Tomlinson was amazing. It makes you realise how insignificant some things are.

Could not believe the news as I saw her inteview just 2 weeks ago on a morning show on TV She was talking about a having been given blood when she had one of her children a long time ago and it was contaminatited and she was making people aware about taking a blood tranfustion .
The story was she was telling that for insurance she had to have a medical and they had found out that she had hiv from the blood given years ago .

Sorry ro hear and feel for her family .
