Minning - Birgit Abrecht
Dear Elias,
when we first met you and Ija in Vík í Myrdal in summer 1989 this was the beginning of a wonderful friendship!
You invited us to visit you in Kúlú on our honeymoon-trip to Hornstrandir and we felt your warm heart since the first minute. You were always in a good mood, interested, open-minded and relaxed. Since we met were always welcome in your home and felt like a part of your wonderful family.
With your positive attitude you encouraged those around you and you were always ready to help. We will always be so grateful that in 2000 we were able to strengthen our roots in Iceland with your support and help, transforming an old building in Hnífsdalur into a cozy second home.
We enjoyed every minute we were together celebrating birthdays and family events, having nice dinners, enjoying summer vacations in Fljótavîk, hiking the Black Forest, sailing the Djúp or welcoming the New Year. We keep so many wonderful memories and our hearts are full of love.
We are very sad that you have to leave and also feel deep gratitude that our paths crossed in July 1989 and we have been a part of your life ever since.
Thank you for our wonderful friendship, dear Elli, we will miss you and always carry you and Ija in our hearts until we meet again!
Our deepest condolences to all your family.
Yours Stefan, Birgit and family
