Our dearest friend has gone from our lives and become a cherished memory.

She gave her all and more, loved her family and friends without reservation.

We shake our fists in anger, we wipe our tears from our cheeks, we drop our head in resignation.

A life snuffed out too early, taken by that insidious disease.

She was so positive, even when things did not turn out as expected she saw only the positive sides.

There was no time for negatives in her life – right to the very end.

Only plans for the future, plans for her garden and plans for her family

We will miss her candour, her laughter and her will to survive.

She was my sister in all but blood – a stalwart friend, she would never let you down.

It will be a long time before we can smile when we remember some snippet of your life or nod our heads is memory of some event that bought pleasure to us all.

For the moment all we can do is carry our heavy hearts and mourn the loss of one so dear.

I smooth her last patchwork quilt, made with love, each one an individual work of art for her family and friends and try and fathom why this gorgeous person has had to suffer so much.

RIP Krystyna (Wiesa)  Kielich
