My Dearest Edwina. Two months have have now passed, and I am still at a loss for words. I cannot believe I will never see you again. You feel as real and as a present as you ever did, even though we spent many of the past years living far apart. I cannot begin to understand a world where such tragedies can happen, but I also know you would want us all to move forward, taking strength from the blazing beacon that you were, and living life to the full like you did.
Thank you for so many wonderful memories. 16th April 2009 when you, me and Amber went partying in Paquis to celebrate your birthday. I was having a hideous time and all I wanted to do was retreat from the world, but you dragged me out. There was no saying no to you when your mind was set! We went back to Amber's flat and you got carried away with your birthday candles, blowing hot wax all over yourself and her sitting room. We were helpless with laughter for a good 10 minutes :) Or the time the 3 of us got thrown out of L'Armoire restaurant for making too much noise. Or the time I met you for a 'quick drink' at Geneva airport before flying back to London and missed my plane (and parents' evening)! Time with you was always such a treat my fabulous, fearless friend. I cannot bear the thought of not having the next get-together to look forward to.
There are so many wonderful tributes to you here. You gave so much, and had so much more to give. You were the most remarkable person I have ever known - compassionate, curious, principled, fiercely intelligent, so so funny. You were an inspiration to all who knew you, and the world was a better place with you in it.
My heart goes out to your family who you so dearly loved. Paul, Fraser and Isla; your Mum and Dad who did the most awesome job in raising you; your sisters and brother Giles (who I finally managed to meet up with in Dubai yesterday - you are still bringing people together!). And to your wonderful friendship circle in Geneva - Helen and Rich and the gang. I send you all my deepest condolences. I cannot imagine how huge this loss is for you all.
Rest well, lovely one. Forever in my heart xxxxx

Edwina - what can I say, you were such a positive light, a smile at the end of a video call, and had an infectious enthusiasm for everything! You never let us give up on a good idea, were always trying to help break down barriers for us on the business, and I was always inspired by your creativity and positive thinking that lifted me up on a down day. You will be incredibly incredibly missed, it has barely sunk in, and I will always remember the times we worked together so fondly... sending you all my love dear Edwina xxxx Nella xxxx

Think of you often. Still can’t believe life can be so unjust.
