I write this today sitting outside my house on a glorious Monday evening. The birds are singing, there is not a cloud in the sky and it is very peaceful. It feels like there is nothing wrong with the world.

However, on Friday night we received word that Monika was a victim of the horrific bomb blasts that occured on Thursday 7th July 2005. Thank you to all the people who helped with the search and the kind words we received.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Monika’s parents, her family and her friends. We will never forget the beautiful woman that was a joy to work with and a friend worth having. We will remember you, as you would want to be remembered, with happiness and in positive celebration of your life. Reluctantly we hand you over to the care of God.

We will miss you!
