Remembering with Love .......
On the day of your death I wrote you a message: "I love you to eternity", not knowing that it was your last day on earth.
Death has taken my best friend away. The night sky has one more star in its constellation. Sleep well, my Darling Marlies, until we meet again. Always smiling from beginning until your very last moments.
Africa Belief
The dead are not under the earth
They are in the tree that rustles
They are in the woods that groan
They are in the water that runs
They are in the water that sleeps
They are in the hut, they are in the crowd
The dead are not dead.
Those who are dead are never gone
They are in the breast of a woman
They are in the child that is wailing and in the fire that flames.
The dead are not under the earth
They are in the fire that is dying
They are in the grass that is weeping
They are in the whimpering rocks
They are in the forest, they are in the house
They are not dead.

When my ancestors talk about the Creator they say:
He is with us ... We sleep with him. We hunt with him. We dance with him.

I dearly miss you.
In loving memory
