I pay tribute to Svetlana Kaluderovic, a beloved member of our community who recently passed away. As the face and driving force of Bona Fides Cafe in Macquarie Mall, Svetlana touched countless lives with her warmth, kindness and dedication to her craft. She remembered names, stories and orders and, in doing so, made her cafe feel like home for many. Svetlana was more than a business owner; she was a passionate advocate for Liverpool's growth, frequently contributing to CBD forums and helping to attract new businesses to Liverpool. Her presence was a steady and uplifting force in the heart of our city. Last year she achieved a new milestone by opening a physiotherapy clinic in Liverpool Plaza. I had the great privilege of helping to open the facility and saw just how proud she was of that achievement. Svetlana's loss will be deeply felt not only by her loved ones but also by every regular who found comfort and community at Bona Fides. Her legacy will live on in the lives she touched and the place she helped shape. Rest in peace, pocivaj u miru, Svetlana.
