[IRPCoalition] [GenderDC] [bestbits] Fwd: in memory of Heike Jensen

[Elena Pavan]

Dear all,

let me join Anriette in thanking Marianne for posting this.
I personally had no idea about this terrible news and i am very upset in
this moment. Heike was a fantastic person, a sunny and impressive woman.
I have no words to express how lost i feel in this precise moment.
She will be missed. A lot.

a big hug to all of you,
elena
