Funeral of Hamide Yanç Özçetin

a departure

A DEPARTURE…

Hamide once said there is nothing as free as birds.
And she was the most special eastern bird.
On a peaceful and white Monday morning at 6.51, she flew to the eternity.
She will fly forever in the endless sky peacefully and happily,
always curious to explore new places and eager to experience new things.
She was an ingenious designer and an amazing cook.
Her good heart, her humble nature, and her respect for life were extraordinary.
Her laughter and her words were always sincere.
She was a fabulous, graceful, chic woman.
She was our light, our inspiration, and our strength.
She was the coolest mother.
She has touched and inspired many and different kinds of people
all around the world.
Sadly, on the 4th of march
we are gathering to say goodbye to her and we would love if you join us.

Best Regards
Hamide’s night birds Seda & Şeyda Özçetin
