A very sad weekend for my family

When my brother and his family were visiting a few weeks ago, they told us about a lady friend of theirs who had had an operation for what should have been a minor problem. Not to trivialize the operation, but it's one of those where people usually have it, and get on with life. Anyway, as it turned out, she died. Complications of sorts. (Sorry guys, I don't recall all the details).
Anyway, she left behind a husband, my brothers very good friend, and two kids, 12 and 5 (if I remember correctly).

Saturday morning he phoned, to say that his friend had been killed in an accident!

Boet, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how close you were, even more since he was drawing on you for support since his loss. Know that there is a reason for these things. be there for his kids, even be their "other" dad if you can.

Know that you are in our thoughts.
