[ Translation from the husband's funeral oration ]
Dear relatives, dear friends,
The name Andrea can be translated from ancient Greek as "the Brave".
And brave she was.
Brave, β¦
when at the end the doctors told her that all avenues had been pursued;
during the many medical treatments she endured;
during the many times she had to be in hospital for weeks;
Brave, in 2007 during her second and in 2006 during her first liver transplantation;
Brave, when in 2005 the doctors told her of indications of liver cell carcinoma which together with the aggravated liver cirrhosis led to the first liver transplantation;
Brave, in 2004 when she tried to treat her slipped disc the conservative way, but eventually had to have the spinal operation in 2005.
Brave, β¦
when her father died in 2004;
when in 1997 the doctors told her that she had contracted Hepatitis B, which did prove itself wrong later;
when in 1994 the doctors told her that she was suffering from chronic Hepatitis C with already advanced liver cirrhosis;
and during 1986 to 1988 when she endured the therapies, complications and hospitalisations necessary to be cured from Leukemia, only to contract an at the time unspecific form of Hepatitis.
But there were times of joy as well,
when in 1988 the doctors told her that she had essentially overcome Leukemia;
when in 1990 she graduated from grammar school with highest grades;
during her travels to Germany, Italy, the USA, Scotland, England, Malta, Tunesia, Crete, various parts in Austria and Old Celtic, Roman and Middle Age fairs;
her wedding in 2000;
and her graduation as a Doctor of Medicine at the end of 2003.
She also took joy in the "small" things of life, like β¦
listening to music;
swimming;
sun bathing;
when her cat Pascha turned 20;
and watching the animals in the Zoo of Schoenbrunn.
And she had the courage and the will to live to the very end and was, as one of her doctors put it at the end, a true fighter.

THE PERFECT ANGEL
I woke up to the sweet smell of the morning rain
and the first thought of the day
was of my angel,
Through the clouds I see the
suns rays shining throughout the sky.
My angel lives in my heart,
all throughout the night and day
I think of my angel
Who is my protector,
Who leads me in the right direction..
I thank my angel for being with me
through all my sorrows to lift me up,
to give me courage to go on..
I thank GOD for sending me the perfect angel.

The tender touch of angel wings,
Brush softly past your face;
Summoned by soft spoken prayers,
To stand here in this place.
Called to keep and guard you,
To touch your heart with love;
Sent as special messengers,
From a holy place above.
Sent to whisper words of peace,
To calm a restless soul;
Sent to watch you as you sleep,
Their angel wings unfold.
They cover you with tenderness,
They watch your slumbering face;
They call you into peaceful rest,
As they stand here in this place.
They walk beside you every step,
As you go about your day;
Their mission is to guard you,
As you travel on your way.
So if you feel a tender touch,
A breeze upon your face;
Just know I prayed for angels,
To keep you in this place.

I Know A Place...
I know a place just out of sight
Where truth dispels the darkest night
And angels whisper in delight
To share a perfect plan...
So far away, yet in our midst,
Prepared for those who dare persist
Through tribulations reminisced
Before the earth began.
A kingdom waits around the bend
Too great for us to comprehend
Past limits we cannot transcend
Or hope to understand...
And those who long arrived before
Still beckon from that distant shore
Beyond the churning ocean's roar
Like countless grains of sand.
Oh! how I yearn to beckon too
Or stroll the golden streets with you
And quench my thirsty soul anew,
Released from shades of gray...
Our earthly woes shall disappear
And none shall scoff in silent fear
No other life exists but here
Upon this sphere of clay.
On wings of grace, I'll join you there -
We'll soar together through the air
And follow fragrant wisps of prayer
To where the angels sing...
Our transformation has begun
From foreigner to native son,
And soon our souls shall join as one
To kneel before the King
by Kenn Allan

If
If there are fireflies,
There must be fairies,
And if there are fairies,
There must be a forever.

Love Is The Blossom
Love is the blossom that blooms in the spring,
Opening our hearts to magical things.

I see you in the sun rise
On a brand new morn
I see you in the rose
That unfolds from bud
To perfect bloom
I hear you in the
Bird’s song
As they sing
At early dawn
I feel you in the
Gentle breeze
As you softly
Caress my skin
And at the end
Of the day
When the sun
Goes to sleep
The moon awakes
The stars come
Out to light
The sky
Again I see you
Shining down
On me from afar

Shhhh...
Listen
Angels abound
Our angels are near
Not making a sound
Listen with your eyes
Instead of your ears
A white feather
Bird song
Flowers in bloom
A kiss on the breeze
A rainbow
A bright shining star
Gifts from our angels
Letting us know
They are close by

I'll Be There
Over Mountains
Over Trees
Over Oceans
Over Seas
Across the desert
I'll be there
In a whisper on the wind
On the smile of a new friend
Just think of me
And I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
To be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
But I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
Over Rivers
Over Streams
Through Wind and Rain
I'll be there
Across the wide and open sky
Thousands of miles I'd fly
To be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
To be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
But I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
Oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I'll be there

When Roses cease to bloom, Sir,
When Roses cease to bloom, Sir,
And Violets are done --
When Bumblebees in solemn flight
Have passed beyond the Sun --
The hand that paused to gather
Upon this Summer's day
Will idle lie -- in Auburn --
Then take my flowers -- pray!
by Emily Dickinson
