The smile, the laughter, the stories. The class, the resilience and, above all, the love.
Her unmistakable sense of style. Her curiosity, especially when an unfamiliar face walked through the restaurant doors. She simply had to know who they were!
The deeper conversations on a quiet night. Her personal jar of Dijon mustard. And the Moët… always the Moët. A little sparkle, a little celebration, so perfectly her.
The comfort of looking across a busy room and seeing her at Table 16. Sometimes all it took was a smile or a nod that said, “You’ve got this.”
Everyone wanted to be around her. She had that rare gift of making you feel special just by being in her presence.
She was part of the heart and soul of Topo’s, woven into the friendships and memories of so many of our lives.
What a woman. What a legacy. How lucky we were to have known and loved her.
Forever our Duchess.
