I have so many brillaint memories of living next door to Kyria and racing around with Sarah. We used to cause absolute havoc but Kyria was nothing but kind. We used to write absolute begging letters to be allowed to have sleepovers and slip them under the door to whichever room she was in. She would laugh and pretend to put up a fuss but the answer was nearly always yes. She used to help us to make the best midnight feasts. I remember yoghurt cakes made together and lots of chocolates! One very strong memory was being with Kyria whilst waiting for my brand new baby sister to come home for the first time. I was 7. She made sure it was exciting and that i felt involved in this new life and we made a special scrap book ready for the baby. 
sad not to get to say goodbye. 
grateful to her for giving me my friend Sarah and a childhood full of memories and giggles.
