Gitka was my school fellow at a secondary grammar school in Bratislava. She was very kind and very friendly. During last years we were in contact by e-mail. We exchanged information on our families and on our work as editors. I am very sorry, that Gitka has passed away so soon. Please accept my sincere condolences.
