Ksenia Quiros Obituary
Ksenia was very intelligent and warm, her laugh was memorable and a joy to hear. She was born in Moscow to PhD's in virology. She graduated from Moscow Institute for Foreign Languages with honors. She worked at the International Finance Corporation in the early 1990s and, in 1996, she was accepted to Columbia University, International relations faculty through the Maski program for foreign students. Thereafter, she became a homemaker, but loved children and helped at the Broadmoor Elementary during lunch and worked at the Cheyenne Zoo during last summer, where her son Peter was attending a summer camp.
Her son Alex was born in May 24, 1993. She bravely, alone and never complaining raised Alex, in Moscow, for the first few years of Alex's life. She later met and married Jose; Alex was fully adopted and her small family moved to the United States. Her youngest son Peter was born in 2001 in Colorado Springs; she was full of joy at her new baby. She was so proud of all of Peter's adventures and she laughed often with joy at his every sound and expression. Her life was her sons, both good men in their own right, who were blessed with the most dedicated and loving mother anyone could ever hope for. Her love for them knew no bounds, earthly or otherwise.
She is survived by her husband, Jose; her son, Peter; her mother, Elena A. Tishchenko; and her father, Borys Vasilyvich Gouchtchine.

I'm Ksenia's friend from our youth up. We spent together our first independent vacations in Crimea in 1989. I greeted her in the hospital in Moscow when Sasha arrived in 1993. We enjoyed summer days in Greece in 1995. I visited her in Miami in 1998. Last time I saw her in Moscow when she come alone. We've been in contact for all these years. She emailed me last on March 09, 2015. Before that I got her kind and melancholy message in February. Her life wasn't easy. I'm shocked. I can't stop remembrances. I'll never forget.
