Thank you, Birgite, for the words you spoke, and even more for the ones you refused to let pass unchallenged. 
Rest well. You are remembered exactly as you were - fierce in the gentlest possible way.

En sista hälsning till vår kära kusin Birgite. 
Minns med glädje de gånger vi träffades när du besökte Sverige. 
Vi sänder Jesu ord som tröst från Johannes evangelium 11:25. 
”I Am the resurrection and the life. 
The one who believes in me Will live, even though they die” 
Vi är de tre yngsta kusinerna:
