We met Bernice and Dave at Tensing Pen in 1988. It was our first trip to Jamaica, and their warmth and kindness helped make us feel secure being in a different land. Jamaica had just endured a horrible hurricane 6 months before and Tensing Pen and all of the country was literally shaken to the core., and just getting back and rebuilding. Their steadfast presence and their friendship made us return every year and our relationship with them still feels so strong and will never be forgotten. There are people in the world who are dear friends, even though they live far away. It is heartbreaking to realize we will never see them again even as they will always be in our thoughts and in our hearts. Oh, the stories!
