Irina died last week.

She had been heroically fighting ovarian cancer for over 3 years, traveling to specialist that she respected all over the world. She recently had a dream about meeting Boris, who passed in that same bed 9 months ago. She was ready.

We are very sad, but glad she didn’t have to suffer the pain any more. We buried her and Boris’ ashes together in a peaceful spot in our backyard forest.

I collected some photos of her here:

Here are a few of my favorites.

I love this childhood photo. She looks like Wizard of Oz Dorthy:

She was beautiful lady:

At all ages:

She had a playful side:

She loved her gardens and sunshine:

And she loved her pets:

But most of all, she loved her family:

And her family loved her.
