PETA PATRICIA CADD
( Peta Patricia Kriewaldt )

22nd May 1954 - 19th January 2002

TUESDAY 22nd MAY 2008 WAS PETA'S FIFTY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY

An angel from God, you returned to God.
and his love surrounds you for ever.





Towards the end of her life on earth, Peta suffered from adrenomyeloneuropathy, a painful genetic disease leading to paralysis.
Tony found her a few hours after her death, when he returned from a bushwalk on 20th January 2002.

Peta wrote to Tony:

"Just as I wanted it in life, in death I want the whole world to know
how much you cared for me and how much I cherished you."


Jesus' promise to Peta:

BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART   :   FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD

Rise up, my Darling;
my Fair One, come away.

For see  :  
   the winter is past.

   ...             Solomon's Song of Songs



    My Darling is gone with the angels,

              Peta is gone back to God.

        ...           Adapted from an epitaph at Mt Ive



In the hereafter, the joy of the blessed will be magnified a million millionfold, as each shares and reflects and multiplies the joy of all the others, and there will be joy within and joy without, joy above and joy below, joy around and joy everywhere, the joy that God has prepared for those that love him.

...           Eadmer, biographer of St Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury;    quoted by Stuart Barton Babbage in his autobiography



      Come,   my breath and my life
      Come,   the consolation of my humble soul
      Come,   my joy,   my glory,   my endless delight.

      ...        St Symeon the New Theologian : Prayer to the Holy Spirit



Transeamus,  transeamus;      gaudebimus semper.
