I thought of Aurelia the other day as I found a perfect spot in our new home on Hornby Island for her wonderful painting of St. Stephens Church. Her spirit lives on (and travels far!) through her art.

Dear Henrik,
I was very sad to hear of the loss of your wife and best friend Aurelia. I didn't know your wife, but from everything you have told me, she was very special person. From your stories of your life together I know that this is an unbelieveable sad time for you and your sons. I see everyday what a talented artist Aurelia was from the annual christmas cards that I have kept. I know how you treasured sailing together from the stories of being together in beautiful places.

You have my very sincere and deep sympathy on such a tragic loss. My best to you and your family.

Dear Henrik, Peter and Paul
Faye, Kristin, Tricia and I were saddened to hear of the passing of Aurelia. We will all remember with fondness the great times that we had together at you and our homes. While Aurelia will never be far from our hearts we will miss her kind heart and warm spirit. While Areulia is now part of our history, she will always be part of our extended family, fondly missed.

What I remember the most about Reli is her beautiful, blue eyes that were filled with such fire burning from deep inside of her. She had an amazing energy, such a passion for life! I am so deeply sorry that she suffered so much, that she had to leave us so soon, and I am so comforted that she had Henrik constantly, faithfully, by her side, helping her and loving her through it all. I share in your grief and sorrow with all my heart, and I hold Reli and all of you in my love.

Henrik, Peter, Paul, and all the family - How sad to hear this news. Aurelia filled the world with a light so lovely, so clear, and so honest. I feel honoured to have basked a little in that light and to have witnessed the profound love she had for each of you and you for her.

I am thinking of you all
