For 37 years my mom was there (just a phone call away), but on the evening of 9 June 2007 she was called to a higher and better place. Her voice is quiet! We miss her so much and holidays will never be the same for her 2 grandchildren.

My Memory

Corne Groenewald Jun 09, 2009

Vandag is dit jou 2de verjaardag by ons Hemelse Vader. Ons verlang nog baie, maar het net die mooiste herinneringe aan ons liefste ma en my kinders se ouma. Ons is baie lief vir jou.

Memories of You

Corne Groenewald May 28, 2009

I remember everything about you,
your voice, you smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.

I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.

I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.

You are gone from me now,
but one they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days...

Always on my mind

Corne Groenewald Feb 09, 2009

Today it is 1 year and 8 months. How I miss you. We will always love you mom.

Always on my mind

Corne Groenewald Aug 07, 2008

I need to say goodbye although you're with me.
I stand beside your grave, yet you are here.
I miss you terribly and hope you miss me,
But when I turn to you, you're always near.
I talk to you as though you lived within me,
Not changed but simply moved in from outside.
I know each day you must a little leave me,
But here, as always, you must be my guide.
You were and are and will be, just as ever,
In many minds and hearts, not only mine.
No physical event can such love sever;
Death is a dimension, not a line.
And so goodbye does not mean you are gone:
So long as I still love you, you live on.
