Requiesce in pace.

— S. J.

My thoughts are always with those whose lives were forever changed by that day. I was one of the luckier ones and I'm always grateful to our amazing emergency services who rushed to help, including the doctors and nurses from St. Thomas' who dashed onto the bridge regardless of the possible danger ahead.

Love and best wishes to all who were there and to all those affected by this senseless act.

— Steve Sherran

Another time, another place.
The lonely streets where we embraced.
Then you would go without a trace.
Nothing's the same without you.
Another day goes passing by.
I sit alone and wonder why.
Sometimes it's hard, but I will try
to live my life without you.
You're in my heart, you're in my dreams.
You're everywhere or so it seems.
So many times I've heard that song.
Hold back the tears, pretend you're strong.
Another day goes slowly by.
I sit alone and wonder why.
I think of you, I start to cry.
Nothing's the same without you.
Another time, another place.
The sweetness of our last embrace.
What would I give to see your face.
Nothing's the same without you.
Nothing's the same,
nothing's the same,
nothing's the same without you.

We miss you Aysha, but we know you are here with us.

— Miguel A. Nouche Ferreira

I will always remember the dignity of those who were there that terrible day and especially those who lost a loved one. The bravery of so many people, the compassion shown to others and the togetherness since shows why the evil that visited us that day, will never prevail.

— Miles Manning

As long as the river flows beneath Westmintster bridge you will all be in my heart. For those who passed, I hope you still feel our love, for those who survived may we heal a little bit more everyday, and for those who supported us on that tragic day - thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Love always,

To my beloved Aysha.

Not a day goes by that i don't think about you. You are still such a big part of my life; although a life so different without you. My bestie, confidant, soul mate, sidekick, my family. You mean more to me than any of these words - no words can truly describe our friendship.

I wish heaven had visiting hours - maybe it would ease the pain of losing you. So until we meet again, rest peacefully. Love you bestie - you are forever etched in my heart.

— Vanessa

Dear Aysha. You were once a respected colleague. You will always be a cherished friend.

Forever in our hearts and minds x

— Stephen Kruger

The willow, it weeps today, a breeze from the distance is calling your name, unfurl your wings and pray.

The static of this cruel world, cause some birds to fly, long before they've seen their day.

Ascend... may you find no resistance, know that you've made such a difference, and all you leave behind will live till the end.

The cycle of suffering goes on, but the memories of you stay strong.

Someday we too, will fly, and find you again.

We will make a brand new start from the pieces torn apart, we will make our way through, find the solace that we’re due.

Let the wind carry you home, Blackbird fly away, May we never, be broken, again.

- Melissa Cochran, lyrical credits to Alter Bridge

I will be thinking of you all at the Anniversary and throughout the year.

You are always with me, in my thoughts and in my heart.

- Luca and Reres, Andreea Cristea’s Nephews

My darling Sissy (Andreea)

Thank you for growing up with me and teaching me how to be strong. How to try to see the best in people but cut out the nonsense. Your thoughtful gestures, your contagious laughter and the amazing way you made us all feel is missed every single day! I picture your beautiful smile and wide, big welcome hugs and kisses daily. I hope you dance and smile down on us.

Rest in peace to every beautiful soul that was taken from us on the 22nd of March, 2017 during the Westminster Bridge and New Palace Yard Terror Attack.

- Andy Szasz with Mum & Dad x

After 4 years, our thoughts remain with the victims of this terrible attack and the many people who have been directly affected by it.  Our thoughts also go out to the Emergency service workers who not only responded to the incident at the time, but to those who continue to work tirelessly behind the scenes to reduce the risk of this happening again.

CTPHQ will continue to work with the victims of attacks as well as all of the UK’s communities to identify individuals who may be at risk to any negative influences, and provide them with the support that they need.

On this day I hope that we can all come together to not only commemorate the loss of innocent lives, but also celebrate the achievements made since then by communities working together to save lives and make our country a safer place.

- PS Greig Urquhart, CT Policing

Words are worthless to express what I feel and how much I miss you. But my dear friend, my dear Andreea, you know already everything, you will be always inside my heart!

May God rest your soul and give you all the peace!

- Andru

The special people in our lives leave behind such strong memories that it is impossible to forget them. To my dearest friend Andreea Cristea:"You will live on in the wonderful memories I have, I miss you, always! "

- Silvy

It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree.  Four years have passed since my beloved friend, Andreea left us for her heavenly above, the wounds of the soul will never heal. One day, she will design us a life together again...it’s just a matter of time.

From earth to heaven, always in my heart.

- Iry for my dear ‘Apfel’ Andrusca.

Our Dearest Aysha, 

When I think of you, I see your beautiful face, your smile that would light up any room and I hear your contagious laugh that would make any one smile. Your soul and spirit was so full of kindness, integrity and love .

Your friendship offered so much wisdom, laughs, guidance and love.  We will miss you forever, and our love for you is eternal.  Keep watching over us  and shining brightly like that star you have always been.

Love Always

- Suzanne, Frank, Luis, Leia and Maya

It’s in moments like these that words fall short - In memory of lives lost in March 2017.

— PC Karen Campey AS1193

In remembrance of all the victims and survivors, loved ones, families and friends who have suffered loss. Despite the horror of terrorism, every attack unites us and shows the best of our communities.

I have been humbled to meet and work with some of those affected by the attack on Westminster Bridge – they are some of the bravest, most committed and caring people I have had the pleasure to meet.

You have the unwavering commitment of all those in Counter Terrorism Policing to do all we can to prevent others from following a path towards hate and violence. It is by working together that we will make a difference and keep everyone safe.

— Ch. Supt. Nik Adams

To all those affected, I can assure you that your pain and suffering drives my work every day to continually improve our protection of the public through the Prevent mission.

— Ch. Insp. Andrew Croasdale

Beautiful Aysha, always and forever in our hearts. We miss you so much: your beautiful smile, always so caring, kind and funny. Beautiful inside and out. Never, ever forgotten. All our love.

Melissa, I know today is four years since Kurt passed. Although the grief may make you feel in pain and alone, please know that you will remain in our hearts and thoughts.

— Mo and Dee, London Ambulance Service

This date will always be with me, my thoughts are with everyone who felt the pain of what occurred that day. Every shift I work, I see the bridge and I think of all of us and how it changed our world.

Keep strong, keep talking. Love always. Thank You.

— Sarah Davitt

Hardly a day goes by when I don't think back to the events of that day, and reflect on the senseless violence that caused so much pain to families around the world.

My only hope is that today's event, and the planned installation of a plaque, will bring proper recognition of the pain endured and resilience shown by those affected; bringing some small solace to all of us.

I'd like to thank those who continue to fight terrorism around the world every day and hope, as always, for some semblance of dignity and peace to be granted to all involved. Best wishes,

— Travis D. Frain

Aysha Frade; forever young, forever beautiful, never forgotten. Your legacy lives on in your gorgeous daughters.

Sleep tight our beautiful Angel, ever thine, ever mine, ever ours.

Love always x

Four years have passed and while we may have carried on with our lives, we will never forget those who lost theirs, and while physical wounds may have healed, the mental ones will always remain.

We have come so far from where we all were four years ago and we still have further to go, but we will get there with the help and support of friends, family and each other.

— Jessica Kieran

Dearest Aysha, a most dear and cherished friend, a wonderful soul. Miss you always, and you will eternally be in our thoughts.

With love,

— Prad

Right now I‘m in a different place , and though we seem apart, I‘m closer than I ever was, I‘m there inside your heart.

I‘m with you when you greet each day, and when the sun shines bright, I‘m there to share the sunsets too, I‘m with you every night.

I‘m with you when the times are good, to share a laugh or two, and if a tear should start to fall, I‘ll still be there for you.

And when that day arrives, that we are no longer apart, I‘ll smile and hold you close to me, forever in my heart.

Hug everyone you love a lot tighter. Never take any moment for granted!

Rest in peace to every beautiful soul that was taken from us on the 22nd of March 2017, during the Westminster Bridge Terror Attack.

— Magda Toi, on behalf of the family of Andreaa Cristea

— Ljubinka Jeftic, DLD College London

With grief for those taken too soon, and deepest condolences for all those who lost someone.

In my thoughts,

— Dr Jeeves Wijesuriya

One moment can change a lifetime. Many people have been devastated, by this tragic event. Parents, children, siblings, loved ones, have had the precious life ahead of them taken away.

The only blessing in all of this grief and sadness, was witnessing the beauty of humanity, coming together as strangers to help, comfort and care for those in need in whatever way they could. I feel so privileged to live in a society that values freedom and nurtures kindness.

I send my love and well wishes to all of those who suffer as a result of this tragedy.

— Colleen x

Kurt, we miss hearing your laugh, feeling your hugs, all our adventures together and a thousand other things. We love you forever and always.

Aysha, there will never be adequate words to truly convey the profound loss felt with you not here. Though the pain may slowly ease, the memories you created with so many of us will remain indefinitely.

It is testament to you, how much love you inspired by those who surrounded you, not least, your extraordinary daughters who will carry your legacy of beauty, warmth and kindness for a lifetime and beyond.

All our love, always,

- Neil Hulbert and James McCrone

To my beautiful friend Aysha.

Our friendship seeds were planted when we were both baby in prams.  I can imagine us both sweetly observing each other whilst our mums chatted away. Little did we know back then that our friendship journey would blossom throughout our school years with so many great adventures throughout are teenage and adulthood lives.   Real life true friendship between us and the girly squad.

We shared so many fun moments together over 30 years with lots of laughter, kindness trust and loyalty.  True friendship which I was lucky enough to find and like we said, always thought we would have until we grew old together.   Missing our chats and girly nights out.

Miss you Chica, a piece of my heart is with you forever. Love,

- Maria x

Forever on our lips. 

In our hearts.

Aysha, Mummy,

Beyond words.

Beautiful Aysha

Never ever forgotten, forever part of us.

We miss you more than words can ever express.

Nothing will ever be the same without you.

All our love,

- Mummy, Silvia, Michelle, Luca, Noah, Quique, Enrique and Miguel x

A day never goes by when we don't think of you. The only consolation is knowing that your will always be with us. Your absence fills us with us so much sadness. We miss you so much but we know that you are looking over us from wherever you are. Always Aysha.

- Quique

Dear Leslie, 

Remembering you on such a sad day.  You came into our lives through tragedy.  Even though we didn't know you personally, we got to know a little bit about you at the inquest.  We will always be thinking of you and praying for you.

Rest in peace.

- Silvia and Michelle

We just miss you Sisterica (Andreea Cristea)! We miss you just as much today, as we did the day you died! We still miss the sound of your voice, the wisdom in your advice, the stories of your life and just being in your presence.

Hug everyone you love a lot tighter. Never leave someone in an argument. Say I love you too much, take a lot of pictures with the ones you love, you never know when it will be the last time you see them. Please don’t take any second for granted.

- Magda & Florin Toi

Dearest Aysha, you are greatly missed.

Sufletele noastre urla dupa tine, copilul nostru drag Andreuta. Si asta nu se va opri niciodata! Te iubim copilas si ne este foarte, foarte dor de tine!

Our souls are screaming for you, our dear child Andreuta. And this will never stop! Love you baby and very very miss you!

- Geta & Tatutu (Mom &Dad)

It was just like yesterday when, with your enthusiasm, you were telling us what you saw, what you ate and how is London and in only 30 min the grup chat was forever silenced from your side. After that, the only feeling I wish I never had, had installed in me and never left since: the fear of this ugly feeling called missing someone close. I saw you since in a few dreams and I thank you for that but your physical presence is missed ever since.

Miss talking to you my dear friend Andreea, seeing your crazy outfits, dancing together, laughing at the Christmas table and swimming in our favourite spot at home. Wishing everyone who had lost a loved one in the blink of an eye, love, peace and acceptance in remembering them as angels that were in our lives for a reason and left physically away from us to be in all the beauty we see around us.

Love,

- Apfel Georgi!

Andreea, your light will shine forever! Forever remembered, forever missed!

- Ada

You are in my thoughts often and each time I think of you I cannot believe you are no longer with us. You were taken from your family and us all far, far too soon but the memory of your lovely smile and warm heart lives on.

Thinking of your sisters, your mum and your beautiful daughters on this anniversary and sending them all our love and strength for the future.

With all our love,

- Linda, Darren, Osian & Nye

To all the family and friends of Aysha Frade: we will always continue in have you in our thoughts.
We will continue to remember Aysha, our much loved colleague, and all those who have lost their lives so innocently.

We will remember you.
