FROM OTHERS on Queen Elizabeth II
"She is my inspiration to living a worthwhile and meaningful life well into old age. She has obviously been genetically blessed with her good health but she has also remained very engaged in life mentally and physically. I should imagine that her job at times could be very stressful. She would be privy to information that I would prefer not to know about. She must have nights when worry disturbs her sleep and yet the next day she has to rise and do her job, sign government papers, meet with officials and carry out engagements in public and smile and wave as if nothing is wrong. Not a job I would like." ~Debbie Bryant, On Queen Elizabeth II
"Their withstanding relationship is based on their mutual love and respect but also a shared sense of humour, after all Prince Philip is notoriously funny." ~Woman's Day

The QUEEN'S TRIBUTE To PRINCESS DIANA on her Death, August 30, 1997
‘Diana was an exceptional and gifted human being.’
‘I admired and respected her — for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys.’
'In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness.’
'It was indeed dreadfully sad, and she is a huge loss to the country. But the public reaction to her death and the service in the Abbey seem to have united people around the world in a rather inspiring way.’
