    Hello Rebekah-Ann.

    A short very moving touching piece that says a lot by its forthright presentation of facts. The photo of your daughter next to the tombstone of her father / your husband, with the picture she made for her daddy, very powerful photograph. My regards to your family.

    Such a deeply touching write ...

    Ek voel skoon oorweldig. Watter pragtige foto. Om te treur is bykans 'n heilige toestand ... weet jy?

    Baie liefde vir jou en klein Aneka.
