Thank you Pavel, please will you also leave a copy of this picture perhaps in a polythene sleeve on the gravestone for me with my best wishes from afar. Thank you.

Thanks again, Pavel.

Today (and in fact each day), I remember fondly a lovely young lady who shared her young life with us and who was blessed with a joie de vivre (a keen enjoyment of living).

How lucky we were to have "met" Lea in her glamour world.

Below is my favourite photo taken by Chris in Autumn 2003 in Prague near Lea's apartment at the modelling session for which she refused to charge any modelling fees.

Lea's beautiful blue eyes remind me of words in the old song "Sweet and Lovely" (composed by Gus Arnheim, Harry Tobias & Jules Lemare) and memorably performed by the young Bing Crosby in 1931 on the Brunswick label.

Sweet and lovely, sweeter than the roses in May

Sweet and lovely, heaven must have sent her my way

Skies above me never were as blue as her eyes

And she loves me, who would want a sweeter surprise?

Chris wrote that Lea liked the picture too.

We could read that another of Lea's favourite ones was the shot taken in the woods by Chris where Lea looks up slightly apprehensively (please see below). Chris wrote that Lea "liked the colours" in the photo.

How lucky were those who knew Lea as a friend - like Monica Sweetheart. Their original manager Oldrich Widman (of Dream Entertainment Inc, Prague who is most famous as the promoter and manager of Silvia Saint) told me when he was in London in November 2004 that Lea and Monica like to go out partying together.

Here's looking at you, kid!

Thank you Lea.

It's the 5th anniversary of the sad day when Andrea lost her life. It is important that those of us who care record their thoughts about her and let her family and friends know that she is not forgotten.
Thank you Pavel for taking the bouquet also you Vic for your beautiful memorial card. I too will visit Dablice when next at Prague, perhaps soon, when I will also take a bouquet for Lea. She was a brave and a beautiful kid and I am sure she was also a very sweet girl too.
Bess regards to all from Michael michael.neilan1@btinternet.com

Not one day goes by without you in my thoughts. Not one day without the sting. Without you here there is still a void. Of course never to be filled. I have missed you everyday. I still cry wondering "what if". And with all that is missing, my love grows still.
With love to dear Andrea,
Phil

As I promised to myself, yesterday at 14 o´clock I visited Lea´s last rest place. Nobody was in sight and I found three bunch of flowers on her grave, including mine green and white. Frankly speaking I would expect a bit more but the weather was cold and rainy and many surely commemorated Lea at their homes. I put down Vic´s picture, lit the candle and say a short prayer although I´m atheist. I think Lea is in heaven and lives another live without pain.

P.S. I made a few photos but not able to insert them here. Sorry.

Dear Pavel,

Thank you so much for your message above. I have taken out some formatting info that is usually hidden.

It was very kind of you to let us know about your visit. Thank you so much.

If you have some photos despite the rainy weather, I shall be pleased to add them onto the Forum. If the files are very large, that's quite O.K. but it may be an idea to send them one by one. I prefer to have the best quality and then I can make them suitable for Web hosting on the CSS storage site that Martin Bucek arranged for me.

My e-mail address is gurneast@tiscali.co.uk

Hope to hear from you.

I have just received these above pictures that Pavel took on his mobile phone on his visit to Lea's final resting place in the Czech Republic on Wednesday 9th December 2009 to lay flowers and a memorial card for Lea/Andrea.

The memorial picture can be seen in the pictures laying on the marble plinth and under the small red vase is a print of the memorial scroll and candles picture that is posted up above on the Forum.

Vic. 14 Dec 2009.

Today, 26th December 2009, would have been Lea's 33rd birthday celebration...
