“In loving memory of Louise Tharp, Louise, you were my favourite client booking many freighter voyages. You showed some courage travelling for weeks on a cargo ship often being the only female person on board. Each voyage was a little bit adventurous with destinations worldwide and sometimes unknown from the beginning. I am sure those times made your life exciting and fulfilling. Your nearest family will miss you deeply, and my thoughts are with them. Sleep peacefully Renate”
