In Loving Memory

Ilse & Dennis

Ilse and Dennis together on 22 March 2026 — Together, 22 Maart 2026

The 4-year-old son asked his parents, "Can you drive to heaven?" Yes, my son, they replied.

Ilse het op [XX Mei 2026] Hemel toe gereis en is uiteindelik tuis saam met Dennis wat haar net-net gewen op 24 Mei 2026 — want die reel is, hy is altyd eerste!

Maar hy het darem vir haar gewag op die pad so dat hulle saam as Boetie en Sussie in kan stap. Dit was 'n lang en moeilike reis vir Ilse en vir Dennis en vir ons hier op aarde, maar hulle is uiteindelik TUIS saam met God.

Ilse's Letter →

Ilse and Dennis as young siblings — A lifetime ago — brother and sister

Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there. I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there. I did not die.
