Welcome!

Welcome and thank you for taking time visiting my website.

'My sister Marquerite' is a tribute to my beloved sister Marquerite van Campenhout, who was violently stabbed to death on 11th January 2002 at Euston tube station in London .

She was a victim of her stalker, her ex-boyfriend. She was only 24 years old.

The great loss of Marquerite has had a huge impact on all who loved and knew Marquerite , not to mention everybody who witnessed the horrendous murder. Certainly many people who had heard or read about it in the news were shocked.

This website is for all these people too. If it helps anyone a little to come to terms with what happened on the 11th January 2002 or anyone who is dealing with a similar situation, I would be very pleased.

Writing about Marquerite has helped me a great deal in mourning my sister's death and writing I will continue to do...

I can imagine that for some people it is difficult to read details of what has actually happened. It is not easy to face the incredibly harsh facts.

For me talking and writing about my feelings help me a great deal coming to terms with was has happened. Having said that, at times it is still very hard to believe Marquerite is around no more. In spirit she IS, I strongly believe! Watching over her loved ones...and she will live on in all people who loved her, as someone dear said to me...Marquerite will always be in our hearts.

I would like this website to be in the spirit of my beloved sister(and not looking dark and gloomy, because she was a wonderfully colourful person!) and a meeting place for all who feels involved.

I would also like to say 'a big thank you' to everyone, for their e-mails and messages in the Guestbook and on the Guestmap.

Just heartwarming!

Elisabeth

our beloved Marquerite
