Sally Catherine Steenkamp: 16.02.1971 - 14.08.2019

W e are in deep shock and mourning for Sally Steenkamp who passed away so suddenly after a long and gruelling fight with cancer. A more motivated, kind, generous, gentle, intelligent, passionate, adventurous person, who had a great sense of humour, would be hard to find. I know your Mum, Dad, Jacques, Roxy and Ben and a multitude of friends are devastated, but long live your lust for life, our own Saint, who was also a "joller", we love you Sal, and hamba kahle. This is what Sally posted on Facebook To my best friend One day, all of us will get separated from each other. We will miss our conversations of everything and nothing and the dreams we had. Days, months and years will pass until this contact becomes rare. One day our children will see our pictures and ask: "Who are these people?" And we will smile with invisible tears because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: "It was them that I had the best days of my life with."  Fly high S...

Mark Gilbert - 17 October 1977 - 23 December 2023

My darling Markie, Your fight with lung and brain cancer was one that left me in awe. You never complained. You were always smiling. You never lost hope. I will remember the journey we went on together forever. I miss your beautiful smile, I miss our long talks about life and love, I miss the craziness of the rollercoaster that we held each other through. Your light shone so bright my darling. You will be forever missed, with a void in my life that will never ever be filled. To know you was to love you, and love you I did and do. Nicki, your Ninja

“This afternoon we said our goodbyes to a man who has made an indelible mark on the lives of so many. Stu has been fighting his cancer for over 10 years, and today his journey came to an end. We are heartbroken at this massive loss, but in awe of his strength and so grateful for the man he was and the time we got to spend with him. “Tonight, Stuart and Jenna spend the evening of Jenna’s 30th celebrating together, wherever they may be. We are so grateful for all the love and support. Thank you for your kindness, and we appreciate your understanding should we be slow to respond to messages at this time.” Lowe’s daughter Jenna Lowe, 17 at the time,  was diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension in 2012.

Heidi Groenewald

'n Huldebly aan Heidi Groenewald 'n Groot leemte het vandag in ons lewens oopgeskeur......  Na 'n reis van vier jaar, en intense gevegte die laaste twee jaar - het 'n edele krygsvrou haar wapenrusting neergelê.  Heidi se stem het vir ons op aarde stil geword, maar ons weet sy sing nou saam met die engelekoor. Ons dank Abba Vader dat Hy ons geseën het met Sy liefde wat deur haar gevloei het. Mag ons aanhou om haar te eer, deur daardie liefde deur ons te laat voortleef......

We thank Abba Father that He blessed us with His love that flowed through her. Ma...

It broke my heart to lose you, you did not go alone, Part of me went with you, on your final journey home. My mind still talks to you and my heart still looks for you, And I miss your presence dearly but my soul rests easy, Knowing you were ready and had made peace.   Love and miss you always, Your Willi * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *  Since the first time I met uncle Henry, he won my heart. He was such a loving person, always a kind word, and a smile on his face. Uncle Henry grew the most amazing fruit and vegetables in his back garden and always proudly shared his produce with me. I know your suffering is over and that you are in a better place, but know that you are still thought of often, still loved and dearly missed. From your "adopted" daughter Tersia
