In Loving Memory of Andrés

I first met Andrés in a disco in Madrid, standing together in front of a holograph of a kiss. He turned to me and asked, “Fancy a coffee?” to which I replied, “No.” Hours later, he still ended up taking me home — and that was the beginning of something extraordinary.

For the first year, life kept us apart — I was in London, he was in Madrid. Yet the distance only strengthened the bond. Two years later, we embarked on the trip of our lives, spending a magical year in Mexico. From then on, we shared more than forty years together — traveling the world, building a company, and welcoming our beloved twins.

Andrés was witty, full of humor, and had a sparkle that lit up every room. He found joy in the simple things — our mobile home, a cold beer, and the adventures of everyday life.

He was my partner, my friend, and my greatest love. His laughter will forever echo in our hearts.

Ange was family, and although separated geographically, we had a precious connection. She had the ability to really “see” people, and form a bond. Precious memories of a one of a kind caring human, never to be forgotten. She will always be in our hearts!
