Author: Solveig Keshavjee: In loving memory
The online Keshavjee family memorial dedicated in loving memory of my beautiful wife, incredible mother and artist Solveig Keshavjee (Solveig Zarah Keshavjee).
Two years ago, my beautiful wife Solveig Zarah Keshavjee became an angel. We miss her, think of her and love her everyday. I see her strength and love in my children and I see how many she touched with her kindness and compassion…I feel sad for those that missed out as you can never go back…never.
Solveig is honoured now by us living our lives to the fullest and continuing to live everyday with love. We miss you and love you, we smile, we still learn from you, and are filled with gratitude always as we remember you… beautiful wife and mother, loved by all, voice of an angel, forever in our hearts. I love you eternally, Azim
For you my angel Solveig…this song says everything…you would have loved this album…I pray every day you are at peace and at rest…I love you….we’ll meet and live and laugh again, for death is not the end…
“I’ll See You In My Dreams”
The road is long And seeming without end The days go on, I remember you, my friend And though you’re gone and my heart’s been emptied, it seems I’ll see you in my dreams
I got your guitar Here by the bed All your favorite records and all the books that you’ve read And though my soul feels like it’s been split at the seams I’ll see you in my dreams
I’ll see you in my dreams When all our summers have come to an end I’ll see you in my dreams We’ll meet and live and laugh again I’ll see you in my dreams Yeah, up around the river bend For death is not the end And I’ll see you in my dreams
I’ll see you in my dreams When all our summers have come to an end I’ll see you in my dreams We’ll meet and live and laugh again I’ll see you in my dreams Yeah, up around the river bend For death is not the end And I’ll see you in my dream See you in my, see you in my dreams
Dear God, please keep Solveig Zarah Keshavjee protected and in eternal peace in Your loving arms. We pray for her soul everyday and we love her, we place our trust in You always and know she is safe, looking over us as You shelter us all in Your grace.
When I lost you honey sometimes I think I lost my guts too And I wish God would send me a word send me something I’m afraid to lose Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives I get shivers down my spine and all I wanna do is hold you tight
I swear I’ll drive all night just to buy you some shoes And to taste your tender charms And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
Tonight there’s fallen angels and they’re waiting for us down in the street Tonight there’s calling strangers, hear them crying in defeat. Let them go, let them go, let them go do their dances of the dead (let ’em go right ahead) You just dry your eyes girl, and c’mon c’mon c’mon let’s go to bed, baby, baby, baby
I swear I’ll drive all night just to buy you some shoes And to taste your tender charms And I just wanna sleep tonight again in your arms
There’s machines and there’s fire waiting on the edge of town They’re out there for hire but baby they can’t hurt us now Cause you’ve got, you’ve got, you’ve got, you’ve got my love, you’ve got my love Through the wind, through the rain, the snow, the wind, the rain You’ve got, you’ve got my, my love heart and soul
As time passes and the days turn to weeks, then turn to months and now almost 2 years have gone by…doesn’t change my love, my memories and my gratitude for every moment I spent with my beautiful Solveig. Though I have found a way to move forward and feel happiness in my memories, doesn’t lessen the loss I feel, the loss our girls feel at losing their mother…we miss Solveig everyday…everyday, and even though we are able feel happiness again and the pain doesn’t sting like a razor cut, we still feel it…we’ll always feel it, but we can now live in the way that Solveig would be proud of.
On this day I remember, as I do every day, our wedding and the start of our life together – I didn’t think it would get cut short after 26 years and I wish we could have had more time together, but for the time we did have, Solveig and I LIVED it FULLY and HAPPILY and steadfast in our Ismaili faith and with the love we have for God – I could not imagine it any other way. Solveig has left such a legacy and I am still learning from her…how to be an even better man, a better father, a better friend, and to continue her love of life, passion and kindness to others.
As life moves forward, not on, but forward, I can smile and laugh again and forge different paths. Life must continue, and new horizons await…yet I know that the whisper I hear in the trees, in my heart and in my soul, that sign, I know is her…it will always be her, guiding, and shining above.
I miss you every day my angel Solveig and I love you with all my heart and soul, that love is special and holds a place only for you. One day, I’ll hear your voice beside me, and you’ll take me home.
Happy anniversary to my beautiful Solveig.
A kiss that began a journey and will continue through eternity.
In loving memory of Solveig Z. Keshavjee,
1963 – 2019
(Solveig Zarah Keshavjee)
Goodnight, my angel Time to close your eyes And save these questions for another day I think I know what you’ve been asking me I think you know what I’ve been trying to say I promised I would never leave you And you should always know Wherever you may go No matter where you are I never will be far away
Goodnight, my angel Now it’s time to sleep And still so many things I want to say Remember all the songs you sang for me When we went sailing on an emerald bay And like a boat out on the ocean I’m rocking you to sleep The water’s dark And deep inside this ancient heart You’ll always be a part of me
Goodnight, my angel Now it’s time to dream And dream how wonderful your life will be Someday your child may cry And if you sing this lullabye Then in your heart There will always be a part of me
Someday we’ll all be gone But lullabyes go on and on… They never die That’s how you And I Will be
Dear God, we humbly thank you for Solveig Zarah Keshavjee. We thank you for her life. For her kindness, her humor, compassion and bravery. For the love she shared with our family and friends. The joy she brought into all of our lives. And we ask that you be with us now. To guide us in our pain…and our grief…And help us comfort each other, strengthened by the knowledge of your love. Knowing that Solveig is not lost to us, merely separated for a while…as she finds rest and wholeness in your loving arms…until one day we may be reunited with her…in everlasting peace. Amen
There is not a single day, or moment that goes by where Solveig isn’t remembered in our hearts, in our thoughts, in our memories and in all the love that she has given us that endures eternally.
We miss you so much, and are so grateful that we were chosen to be your family – all those that knew Solveig throughout our 26 years together, know what her family meant to her…and we honor that now, by loving each other and staying by each other’s side through thick and thin.
Dear God, please grant peace eternally to, Solveig Zarah Keshavjee, who is under your care and your grace, that her soul may rest and shine above us, and that she always is proud of us. Dear God please grant peace to all those left behind, allow smiles and happiness to enter our hearts, now and always.
My beautiful Solveig, I shall hold you in my heart until I can hold you in heaven, happy birthday.

Last year in January, Solveig Zarah Keshavjee, my beautiful wife and mother to our two incredible daughters became an angel. I am not going to cut and paste platitudes from the internet or funeral poems, but I will write in earnest…we miss her, think of her and love her everyday single day. Solveig still lives in our hearts and I see her in everyday my children…this is a blessing that I cannot ever begin to articulate properly – to be able to see her still in our children…her laugh, her smile, her strength, her wisdom, her courage and her compassion…it truly is God’s blessing. Sometimes I look up, and there she is, a reflection in our daughters, guiding and loving. I see how many people she touched with her kindness and joy… and in this way she still lives on. We have beautiful photos and video, music and song…we are so filled with gratitude. Solveig is honoured now by us living our lives to the fullest and continuing to live everyday with love. My family is deeply grateful to the incredible support and love we have been shown from friends and family across the globe and still receive this kindness daily…we are truly grateful. Cherished and forever loved, Solveig Zarah Keshavjee, we miss you and love you, we smile and are filled with gratitude always as we ALWAYS remember you… beautiful wife and mother, loved by all, voice of an angel, forever in our hearts. NEVER FORGOTTEN. Azim
