This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, Machteld (Tilly) Kelsey-Van Vredenburch.
Machteld (Tilly as she was known by her 'English' family) loved and was loved by family and friends who are scattered across the globe. I felt blessed to have known her.
The time and manner of her passing robbed many of being able to see her or communicate with her during the final months of her life. We are much indebted to her friend Isabelle for her tender friendship and being a link between Tilly's diminishing world and us.
Over time I hope that, in addition to tributes, many memories and photographs will be shared on this memorial. At the moment the loss may feel too raw but this page will always be here. Perhaps it will be comforting to recall an anecdote, a shared time and capture it on the stories section for others to enjoy. Family and friends all have insights into different aspects of Machteld's life and it will be a way of us all remaining connected to and through Machteld. Thank you on behalf of Tilly's 'English' family. Cherry Kelsey, stepdaughter.
