Dear bate Stefko, dear Lilia and Ivan, we are deeply saddened by the passing of Yan. We will always remember Yans beautiful smile, her positive thinking and the enormous courage she demonstrated during her battle. The magical week we spent together in Pamporovo was ages ago but would be forever in our memories. This is how we choose to remember her happy, enthusiastic, planning to go to America to start a new life and be close to the kids. It hurts to think that she was taken from us so soon. Now there is a hole in our hearts. Rest in peace Yan.
