A celebration of life with Nathan

MEMORIAL SERVICE

Filed under: The latest saga in the soapie — nathan at 1:04 am on Tuesday, August 5, 2008

Nathan will be cremated on Thursday.  The memorial service is on Friday at 15:00 at the NG Church in Onrusrivier.

All is welcome.

Nathan was able to see red and orange very well.  If possible, please wear any of those colours.  Be it a ribbon or a scarf.

I only thought of that today.

Ek wens met my hele wese dat ek ook daar kon wees, en ek en my kinders sal Donderdag rooi of oranje dra… al is ons nie daar nie!

Carina, ek lees meestal sonder ‘n comment. Ek wil net se, baie sterkte vir julle. Ek kan my net voorstel hoe verskriklik dit moet wees.

Die seer lê nog baie diep in my hart. Ek sal dit ongelukkig nie kan maak om persoonlik daar te wees nie maar ek gaan definitief in die gees daar wees.

Ek sal ‘n punt daarvan maak om rooi aan te trek daai dag. Sterkte, ek dink aan julle.

Ek is nie self goed met woorde nie, maar ondergenoemde gedig weerspieel wat ek graag wil sê.

“I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.

I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings–Amen.

(Poem by Karl Fuchs)”

Richard, Carina & the boys,

We cannot be at the service, but you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Kyle, I’m proud of you for been such a pillow of strength for Carina. Take care of Gareth.

We will be wearing something orange on Thursday and Friday.

Ons gaan ons rooi en oranje klere aantrek Donderdag. Sterkte vir die dag wat voorlê, ek wens ek kon daar wees, sou julle net so graag ‘n drukkie wou gee.

Hallo Carina,

Ek is n vriendin van Nelba wat my na jou blog verwys het. Jou woorde gryp my aan, maar ek self voel woordeloos. Ek dink aan jou. Deur Nelba hulle se verlies kan ek so n bietjie verstaan van waardeur julle gaan. Ek is so jammer. So bitter jammer dat jy jou seuntjie so gou moes laat gaan.

Ek sal more ook rooi dra ter nagedagtenis aan n pragtige seuntjie wat ek nie geken het nie. Baie sterkte vir jou en jou gesin.

Carina
Ek wil net graag vir jou vertel hoe ongelooflik sleg ek voel vir jou en jou gesin se part. Ek is ook ‘n mamma, en ek kan nie eers begin om te dink hoe ontsettend verpletter julle moet voel nie. Ek weet jy gaan jou klein engeltjie nog vir baie jare mis, en dat niks wat ek vandag vir jou vertel, jou gaan laat beter voel nie. Al wat ek het om jou te offer is my en my gesin se gebede en innige simpatie. Julle is sterk, al voel dit nie vandag so nie. Die Here sal julle bystaan in hierdie moeilike tye. Sterkte met more. Ek is jammer ek kan nie daar wees om jou te ondersteun nie, maar ek sal daar wees in gees.
As jy enige iets nodig het, moenie twee keer dink om te vra nie. Ek is daar vir jou.
Baie liefde
Gerty

Richard, Carina en familie,
ek het van Nathan gelees op Emil Jung se blog en die link gevolg tot hier.
Ons innige simpatie met julle verlies. Ons dra julle in ons gebede vandag met die diens en gaan oranje en rooi blomme in die see gooi hier in australie. Mag julle die krag en genade van God ontvang vandag. Alle sterkte, vreugde en voorspoed vir julle as gesin vir die toekoms.
