DEAREST GEORGIE

TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOU IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS I EVER HAD TO DO.

YOU WERE NOT ONLY MY SISTER IN LAW, BUT YOU WERE MUCH, MUCH MORE.

A FRIEND, A SOULMATE, PART OF MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY BUT ALSO PART OF THE WHOLE DUTCH CLAN.

THEY ALL GREET YOU AND SAY GOODBYE!

WE STARTED OF TOGETHER AT THE PERM IN JOHANNESBURG AND TRAVELLED A LONG WAY FROM THERE.

YOU ENDED UP IN ENGLAND, WE IN HOLLAND.

AT LEAST IT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO VISIT FREQUENTLY.

WE HAD LOTS OF FUN TOGETHER, MANY A WINE BUT ALSO SHARED THE DIFFICULT TIMES TOGETHER.

YOUR HOUSE WAS ALWAYS OPEN TO US, TO OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH TO TELL, SO A FEW WORDS TO DESCRIBE YOU:

LOVING, HOSPITABLE, GREAT COOK, FUNNY, STRONG, KEEN GARDENER, ANIMAL LOVER, ALSO A BIT STUBBORN.

DOING IT YOUR OWN WAY, TILL THE VERY LAST!!

GO WELL MY DEAR SISTER, NO MORE MRS C

I WILL MISS YOU

LOVE YOU ANNY
