Thank you Fiona for your graciousness and goodness, your candidness and fun. Thank you for your life and I will cherish the many memories. May you rest in peace.

To Fiona's family, here's a picture I took of Fiona and teammate Marie, many years ago. Sending you all much love and all my condolences.

Fiona, I fondly remember the good times we had in Amsterdam in an amazing team, cruising down the canals in the summer. You've been a great person to be around with and your positivity and humor was always contagious. Whenever I remember my good time that i had working out of Amsterdam, you'll always be part of that picture and will remain in my thoughts.

I honestly believed if anyone could beat this dreadful disease, you could - that smile alone would light up a room. We met on Rotary Exchange in 1990 - when us Southern Hemispherians met in Holland and I just knew we were destined to be mates. We spent Easter together and went around the rivers in your host-parents boat, you spent my 18th birthday with me when I was oh so homesick, we had MANY adventures around Europe together, and you were the first person I called when my father passed that year. Sadly when that year was over, other than snail mail there was little way to keep in touch, until good old Facebook reunited us a few years ago. You hadn't changed! Older and wiser and every bit as lovely as you were when we were teenagers. I am so grateful we reconnected again and so sad our reunion was never to be. You touched so many lives with your smile, your bravery, your sense of adventure and your sheer love of life. We will all miss you very much - and I will always remember you with a smile.

Fiona, Thanks for your energy, your huge smile, the time we shared together. It´s been a privilege to meet you. Huge hugs and kisses where you are now, and to your loved ones. You will be missed.

You've always been an example to me Fiona, especially when things were hard. You always marched to the beat of your own drum. You did your best for people. And you are one of the strongest people that I know. Here's a photo of us on a very happy, daft afternoon.

I'll always keep you in my thoughts.
