Merete Veian

As I am her last partner she will be forever in my heart. Not a day has gone by since Merete's passing that I have not had thoughts of her, tears of our loss & a feeling of knowing that she will always be at my side spiritually. A bright light has been extinguished & is now shining somewhere else that we do not understand. Most days I see her smiling at me with her wild woman mischievous grin. We did not wait for the memories, we grabbed and held each moment & cherished it like it was gold. We both knew from the start that we were much further down the road then most couples when they find each other. That knowledge was what made the time we had together so sweet. I waited this long to write something here because I did not have the right words to say what I needed to say. If there is one thing that we cherished about each other it was our ability to find the words to say what we needed to say to each other. Life is short, precious & fragile and none of us know when our time here is up. She did not lose her battle as was stated in the memorial thing on social media. It was time for her to become one with the gods & goddess she believed in so fiercely. Know this, when you go for walks on the ocean side in Tonsburg, she will be there. She is in the wind in the tree's, She is one with the sun and the moon that she held in such high regard. She will also walk with me till the end of my days.

Takk for gode minner fra barne- og ungdomsskolen ️

Sometimes on the net you meet special people who just touch your soul and even though you are in different countries theres shared learning and journeys together. Dear precious Merete, I went to wish you a Happy Birthday today only to find you are no longer with us. We had one of those irregular online friendships and caught up when we either of us felt the need. We shared a spiritual path, a thirst for knowledge and a love of the creative together. You touched my life and my heart and Im so very sad. Peaceful journeying xxx

I only learned about your passing tonight and I know you are in a better place now. You were a sweet and inspiring person and will be missed. Rest in Peace ️✨

Min fineste mamma! Takk for alt du var og alltid vil være!️ Du har lært meg så mye og gitt meg så mye. Takk for at du var så trygg og sterk da jeg var som svakest. At du var der for meg da jeg virkelig behøvde deg som mest. Du ga meg gleden, drømmene, håpet og livet tilbake. Hva skulle jeg gjort uten deg Jeg elsker deg og savner deg! «Hej på en stund!»

Shine bright like the star that you are 💥💫

Takk for hele livet mamma

Kjære Merete Du inkluderte meg i redaksjonen i Norsk Quilteblad. Du lærte meg mye om redigering, sosiale medier, quilting, mennesker og livsglede. Da jeg tok over som redaktør etter deg ble du en unik mentor og støttespiller. Takk for alt du har gitt til norske og skandinaviske quiltemiljøer. Du inkluderte meg i ditt liv og ble en meget god venn. Takk for alt du har gitt meg. Det er vanskelig å ta farvel med deg, Merete, men jeg skal jobbe med det slik du lærte meg å jobbe med vanskelige ting: et lite sting av gangen. Jeg lyser fred over ditt minne og ønsker dine nærmeste styrke til å fortsette i livet. Sammen skal vi glede oss over de gode minnene.

När jag sträckte ut en hand mot den norska kviltvärlden, så stod du där och tog emot mig med öppna armar Merete. Du öppnade dörren till textil och kreativ samvaro över gränsen. Inte bara för mig, utan också mina vänner och dina vänner. Jag är glad att jag fick tillfälle att lära känna dig och har många fina minnen. Tack.

Merete. Det er 25 år siden jeg ble kjent med deg i Nittedal quiltelag. Alltid blid og hjelpsom, og glad i å dele din syglede. Det har blitt færre møter etter at du flyttet fra Nittedal, men alltid like hyggelig. Du vil bli savnet.

Merete Multi dyktig Multi spesiell I mitt hjerte er du gjemt, ei som deg blir aldri glemt

Merete, du hanket meg inn i artquilt-miljøet nå jeg flyttet til Tønsberg for noen år siden. Takk, Merete, for inspirasjon, fine samtaler og mye latter. Din kunnskap, entusiasme og villighet til å lære bort følger meg daglig. Jeg vil savne deg
