<p>A special friend...</p> <p>As a part of the group of long-time friends on holiday with Iona in Roatan, we got to share many special moments with her. We watched as she joyfully swam with dolphins, fearlessly fed fresh leaves to hordes of hungry iguanas, and delighted in snorkeling with fish and eels among the coral. But, most treasured for us will be our memories of simply spending time with her, experiencing in abundance her humor, intellect, generosity and affection. Iona was a special woman and a special friend. We miss her.</p> <p>Sheila and David Crumrine</p> <p>Skokie, Illinois, USA</p>
