It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that my sweetheart, Paul Bishop, passed away on January 16th [2009]. While he had experienced some health issues prior to us going on safari in May/June 2007, we had no idea they were symptoms of the cancer he was diagnosed with last August. I am so thankful that for whatever reason there may be, that we decided to take that wonderful trip and not put it in to the “someday” bucket. And I truly believe this was our trip of a lifetime. Even up to a week before his passing, he spoke about our trip, someday returning and shared our pictures and stories with the nurses and telling them how special the trip was. […] Asante sana from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of us and giving me memories that I can carry with me forever.
