The Cloete Family

Does any body remember my family? My dad was Gert and my mom Sannie. We were 4 sisters Susan, Elsie, Ria and myself. My brothers are Gys and FRik. WE left Oranjemund in1971 when my dad died.

Gerda is this your sister Susan

@ Gerda - Yes, people do remember you! My Dad knew your Dad, he said that he remembers him as someone who always did a job quickly, with a lot of energy, and that it was difficult to keep up with him! He had a twin?

Hi Gerda, toe ek die foto sien van jou suster, onmiddelik onthou ek julle. Die van het altyd my gepla want dit was so bekend. Ek is baie bly om van julle te hoor.
