Dearest Chamba,

I was told once that “if love had a smell, it would be the smell of Champaka” (Magnolia). This was the inspiration for your name, because of all the love and comfort and peace that I instantly felt around you.

For almost 17 years, you were right there with me, in the trenches of life, day by day, providing support, acceptance, inspiration – and LOVE. You taught me resilience and presence. You were my most loyal and unwavering friend.

We all miss you dearly. Thank you for having shared the journey with us and contributed to making it that much softer & magical. Life with you by our side was elevated. You will forever be in our hearts.

Sophie & family
