A Place for Our Shared Humanity.


My name is Rinus Joosen, from Etten-Leur, the Netherlands.
I am the owner of Dutch Video Productions.

Through the videos of Patricia Janečková that I have produced and shared, I have come into close contact with many of you.
Patricia meant a lot to me. However, through the thousands of comments on my channel, I have come to realize what she means to you as well.
The honest, human emotions I read there every day gave me the idea for this website and condolence register. Patricia’s tragic story has touched something deep within many of you: memories of your own loss and your own grief.

Connection Through Loss

I want to offer you a space here to leave your condolences and show your sympathy, offer support to her loved ones, and gather memories.
But it is also a place to speak of your own sorrow, in the hope that it brings you some comfort, just as her voice and music have brought comfort to so many.
The connection we seek here will ensure that we stay close to Patricia. Each in our own way, with care and respect for one another.
The loss of a daughter as young as Patricia—or any person you loved dearly—is devastating for anyone, anywhere in the world. But it is also something that connects all people on this earth and transcends cultures. It shows that, deep inside, we are all the same.
I do not know if Patricia can see this from heaven, but I believe she would find it beautiful if we seek and find this connection here, in this place dedicated to her.

Your Story

In addition to offering condolences, I would also like to give you the opportunity to share your meeting with Patricia, in any way, with us. This can be with or without a photo. If you have seen her perform live, please mention which concert it was. Your experience is highly valued by people from all over the world who, due to distance, never had the chance to experience this.
Thank you in advance for your openness and your contribution to this monument of humanity for Patricia Janečková.
