Condolences to the family of Olga Fikotova,
We know that you've lost more than how we, the fans, see your amazing dear one. Throughout your entire lifetime you've made many more memories that, we pray, will carry you through the times ahead. During those quiet days when your heart is aching and you need her the most - making the best use of your time is probably what she would want you to do.
