To Ms Destine and your beloved family, my heartfelt wishes.  A friend of your daughter Frances, I had the privilege to learn about the example you set for your entire family.  How to be strong, how to be caring, how to advocate, how to always do the right thing, and how to do such with grace and selflessness.  Blessings to you all filled with loving memories.

Mom, words cannot express the love I have for you. You embraced your love for me as if you gave birth to me. Your wisdom, intellectual conversations broaden my thoughts. I will miss the talks, that beautiful smile, but most of all I will miss your voice saying,”daughter I love you”God never fails; he brought you into my life when he called my mom to Glory! Thank you my Queen for loving Me!

Year after year for many years Ma’am faithfully sent me quarterly Bible reading guides, demonstrating her continued love, care and desire that I remain grounded in the word of God. I always knew she had me in her prayers. Ma’am loved and welcomed me warmly as one of her own, her home was my home. I will miss her beautiful spirit, friendly smile and her generous heart. Rest In Peace Ma’am.

Mama has gone Home to Jesus. What a joy it is to know that she is at peace; no more pain, no more worries. She leaves behind my dear precious Frances and all her siblings. You all learnt from the best...and it shows. Be comforted in the knowledge that there's plenty of love for you all from Jesus and from your extended family in South Africa. And thank you so much for a wonderful service.

In the rising of the sun & it's going down, we remember them. In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them. In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.  When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember them. So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us, we remember them.                  Love Always, Aunt Dee
