On May 27, 2007, the worst thing I could have possibly imagined happened just outside of Sucre, Bolivia. The bus we were on was involved in an accident and crashed. My girlfriend of four years was tragically taken from us. This was our second bus crash in 4 weeks.
It is a difficult thing trying to deal with something as unfair as this. It just isn't supposed to happen this way, especially to someone I loved so much. She was so young, so innocent and so sincere. It just doesn't make sense why.
We need to find the strength within ourselves to remember the joys that her presence brought us. Nastassia reached out and touched all of us and we need to be grateful that we were able to have known such an amazing person like her. We all have memories of Nastassia that we will cherish forever. The following photo collection is a culmination of the most amazing, wonderful, best four years of of my life that I had the honour of sharing with the person I loved.
She loved children, and in our travels in Latin America a huge smile was brought to her face
when we saw the little urchins running around. "The dirtier they are, the cuter they were," she always told me.
In memoriam donations may be made to 'Nastassia Angelika's Orphan Fund' c/o Deci Kunz (via Royal Bank of Canada, Cambell River Branch)
Please say a little prayer and remember...

"Her Remembrance"
" Nastassia" lives on" inside"......... , inside of all of us that had the pleasure to have even "met" her, to have seen her smile, if only to have been"graced" by her "presence", a memory lives on ..........in our hearts. Remember....Ben, and anyone who was close to her: "anything" and "everything" that "was" and still "remains; positive, remember her" Quotes", her smile, even her morning hair! From what I've seen ("especially" this last blog): she was the "epitome" of beauty.Seeing her in her highest form(at possibly her happiest).......makes me wish that I had taken the opportunity to know her better, and seeing you with her: Ben , it makes me want to be a better man, and maybe "fix" some of the mistakes that I made with my............ relationship with her sister of seven years,and "this" is the power of her "Life"............that lives on. I admire your strength to write this last "blog",I'm sure she is inside of you, and "pulling you to remember "the joy" her life brought you. Her "Rememberance"is what keeps her spirit alive. She is closer to you than you can ever imagine...............she is in your Heart................But; you know this, and she'd love you for it............stay strong Chris
