Upham, 63, was one of the two men who went missing during a swim at a beach in Budleigh Salterton, an East Devon town southeast of Exeter, England. Though there were no weather warnings in place, locals participating in the holiday swim said the waters were the "worst conditions" ever seen, per the BBC.
"As you might have heard on the news, Matthew Upham was one of the swimmers who went missing in the sea in Devon on Christmas Day," she wrote in a message posted to her website on Dec. 28. "Matthew was one of my very dearest friends. I'd known him for thirty years."
