Myself and @RevEddStock have just finished setting up for Stefanie’s Memorial at Sydenham School, 10am tomorrow.

We look forward to seeing some of you there.

One of the children left their Tommee Tippee cup behind. It’s now in lost property at FH library.

Thank you to everyone that came to pay their respects to Stephanie today, my guess is that about 300 attended.

Massive thanks to all the volunteers for all their help today and to @RevEddStock for a beautiful service.

It was beautiful. Very, very moving. I thought I had cried all my tears. I had to shoot off just before the end and saw that David was outside. I hope he felt able to join afterwards?
Thanks everyone for all the arrangements and to all that joined the poignant service.

Thanks for letting me know @Pauline x

Footage from Stefania’s Memorial that will be part of a documentary that hopefully can help other homeless people in our community in her memory.

Hi @Pauline, a very touching and well produced video.

(The site asked me for a passphrase to watch it, but it’s very easy to guess… starts with S ends with ia)

Yes, we just had to confirm that all were notified that were included with use of pics etc. All good.

Amazing that Stefania touched so many of our lives & really made us think. Thank you for sharing this very well produced video for those of us who could not attend on the day.
Did you know Stefania was the subject of a piece on Radio 4 today (Sunday 18 August) on “From Our Home Correspondent”. I am sure it is available to 'listen again. It starts about 30 seconds into the programme. It made me cry again.
Well done & thank you to all who organised everything. So lovely to see such community spirit.
Yes, we do miss her deeply.

Hello

Has any one got the book of when she died I can’t remember what it’s called when they did the memorial at Sydenham Girls or some pictures so I can do a entry on this women.

It’s me Chevonne Henry

Do you mean the order of service that was handed out to guests on the day?

If so, I have a copy and can scan and email it to you if you send me your email address.

Hi
Yes I do I lost mine by accident that would be great and any other video footage or picture’s you can grab as I saw some at the memorial.

And please could you give me the grand total so far of the Trust fund and what the community want to do with the money.

I also want to know if there is a forum so that people can put forward what they want the money to go towards after the funneral cost’s like a statue or something.

My email is: (email removed following request) that would be great if you could get back to me.

Regards
