(07 Feb 2006 – 29 Jan 2010)
Birth from pain, peace.
Stricken with hurt, relief.
Springs of disarray, order now.
Away torments, new hopes bring.
Love from us, to her unreservedly, remembering.
We miss you so much Nadia.

Remember I the times sore,
Stricken; afflicted and wretched.
Besetment assail’d from above,
Like the bottomward that downpour’d. 
There sat I at sixes and sevens,
Dazed at what just befell.
For at the bridge knew not I,
What wrong I did nor neither fate might.

<p>Remember I the times sore,<br />
Stricken; afflicted and wretched.<br />
Besetment assail’d from above,<br />
Like the bottomward that downpour’d. </p>
<p>There sat I at sixes and sevens,<br />
Dazed at what just befell.<br />
For at the bridge knew not I,<br />
What wrong I did nor neither fate might.</p>
<p>How did such beauty and perfection cease?<br />
Why my imaginary cloud shapes no longer pleased?<br />
For the bright blessed day of just 5 minutes,<br />
Now overcast acerbity.</p>
<p>Though things may sometimes I never know,<br />
Left unsolved it may best be so.<br />
Memories more precious for there in Heart stays,<br />
But storms will eventually dissipate.</p>
<p>With time I sat the more I knew,<br />
Darkest clouds too come and go.<br />
Silver linings are there always,<br />
When storms pass there they glow. </p>
