Dearest Coreen & family, i cannot begin to imagine what you must be going through at this very sad time.  My deepest condolences.  You're in my prayers. Luv & hugs, Delia xoxo

Coreen en familie, ek dink aan julle en bid vir julle op hierdie dag. Die positieve kant is. Ek Bid dat Die Here saam met julle is op hierdie dag AMEN!!!!

A well attended ceremony, I reckon there must have been about 350 people there....

What got me the most, was the way the entire Oranjemund community comes together at times like this..... irrespective of their cultural differences..... the school choir was amazing with a heart wrenching rendition of "Raise me Up!"

In times like this, the Oranjemund community still support each other.....

Was as busy as hell at work today but took some quiet time out at 15: 30 to just think and send my minds  best wishes ... My Moms  words came to me , she  as time went on became more aware of mortality  and could not  even go to the  funeral of anyones  younger ones ,, she would tell em the news and please ask me to  represent her  as  she could not handle how the " natural order " was thrown  out of kilter  in her opinion  .. Her  words  were .. " us older  are supposed to go before the young , god help my soul  if i was to lose anyone of you "
Strength to Coreen and family ...

Ah Mike, just shed a tear again.  Just the way Oranjemund stands by each other and like you said no matter what culture you are.  Wish we could have also been there, I know the choir must have been amazing!

Michael , Thanks for keeping us posted. Although we were not present in body , we were there in mind & spirit - just taking time out to think about the family and the sad circumstances they find themselves in
Our deepest sympathy to Coreen and Family
