Saw some flowers left and 'RIP' written in chalk on the ground where I used to see her regularly sitting for a the past year or so. Clearly this is bad news- does anyone know any more?

apparently she died after an operation on her leg led to an infection. very very sad for some one obviously in a difficult place she nearly always had a smile on her face.

Following the sad death of Stefania, a fund has been set up to help with funeral expenses and to raise money for appropriate local charities that help people in a similar situation to Stefania.
