Title: Dalene Barratt
Post by: SandyB on January 06, 2009, 08:14:31 PM
I have just got off the phone with  Verona tonight ,, this weekend while chatting  She was battling  to get a flight to Jo'burg to see her mother ,, Sadly  Auntie Dalena as we knew her  passed away yesterday  ...  I got the SMS today ...  she has asked me to post the news on the site ...  Auntie  Dalena  too was one of those  larger than  life people  that  I and I am sure many of my time  remember as kids ..   the open  house .. the  stunning  homemade  ice cream  and other treats  she assembled for us kids ..  playing rough and  tumble  with  us as kids..  warm and understanding of  teenage  difficulties  ... again  open house  policy ..  In her heyday a great golfer ..
Verona will catch up  when she gets the chance ..In the  meantime lets  salute  what I remember as an attractive and  good woman , mother , aunt , friend  to many , and wish her soul safe  travel  on the next journey ..
To Verona , Denise and rest of family , we all thinking of you ...

That's why we need members like you and Michele to bring in the new generation of little Oranjemunders.

Methinks  Aunty Dalene  would be having a good  chuckle  now  seeing   everybody  veering  away  from her   demise  ..   to humour  .. to  a new arrival   that signifies renewal ..  baby

And here I was worrying that Dalene would be thinking that we have no respect! It still amazes me how any topic seems to end up in a laugh - good old O'mund sense of humour I guess!

I'm sad to hear that Verona & Denise have lost their Mom. Sandyb please pass  on my condolences. 

Lost a friend of mine yesterday in a car accident - one of SA's wonderful jazz musos - Alex van Heerden - only 34 - very tragic.
