I will remember Nadya most for her warmth and generosity as a friend. She was a selfless person who always thought of others.
A smile which will never be forgotten! x

Nadya was a wonderful girl and always in Terry’s and my heart. I should have kept up with her when she was in London.

Nadya was a great friend. She had the biggest smile, the biggest heart, the best laugh, and was not only fun to be around, but also someone who was always there in a moment of need. Will miss you very much Nadya. There is a special place in my heart and memory for all of our fun and sad times together, and especially toasted panettone with butter after a long ride from Hampstead to Potters Bar and back.
Rest in Peace Nadia, you have left us too soon but with happy memories 🩷
Thinking of all the happy times we shared at the Serpentine running club , Rest in Peace Nadia
We met through social media but soon discovered a mutual respect for equality, democracy and social justice. We also loved our cats, which often proved to be the centre of our conversations
This ever darkening world, that you fought so hard to brighten, got a little dimmer on your passing. My heart is broken for Vince and your family but they should be ever thankful that they had you in there lives, albeit for too short a time.
Say hi to Claude and Jimmy for me
I say wool, she say yarn.
It’s a joke we shared between ourselves on numerous occasions
Selfless, warm, funny. An advocate of peace, equality social justice
She made the world a better place
Nadya and I met 1977 in Baghdad. She and I started middle school at the International Children’s Center the same day. Our English teacher though we were sisters.
Nadya and I reconnected over the last few months about what was happening in the Middle East. I found comfort after our messages, because we were both on the same page. I was so happy to connect with her and will miss our conversations. To Mrs. Labib and Vince, I am so sorry for the loss that you are feeling in Nadya’s absence. But I hope you can find some peace in knowing that she touched so many peoples’ lives and lives on in our minds and hearts. Love to both of you.
