Sorry to hear about your neighbours son Dutch
And your cousin Sallie
My condolences to both families xx

Joyce, I am so sorry to hear about your neighbour, Sometimes words are not needed I am sure the mother will see how upset you are and Jan will no doubt pass on your thoughts to the family, just being there for her will be comforting ....take care...

love Jean xx

Hello Dutch....so sorry to hear this, condolences to your neighbours. I'm sure she will understand you can't speak the language and see that you are upset.
Take care.

Hi Joyce I am so sorry to hear about the young man's death, the only good thing is that he is free from pain now and she will know that in her heart, altho her loss is so huge, and she must wonder why her family are so affected.
Write down what you feel and get Jan to translate it saying that he has done that for you and they are your thoughts, she will understand and it might comfort her a little.

Such a cruel sad world.

Richard was very quite and shy man but over the years we got to chat over the fence in the back garden,if i wanted to say anything to his Mum he would tell her.he use to joke about me not speaking Dutch ,and use to joke about the way i spoke ,well anyone who knows me will agree as i jump from one word to another, and then he met anice lady and was very happy and i feel so sad for her i thought he was going to be buried with his Dad but his wishes were to be buried were they lived so he could be near his partner,as the cementry is by there
There are no words to say to tell you how you will be missed
Just wish we could have met one more time to say our goodbyes
But its better for you ending all suffering and pain
And now your with your Dad once again

Rest In Peace Richard
Joyce &Jan and familyxx

So sorry to hear this sad news, it is sometimes even hard to say something at times like this, even when you speak the same language, but a hug, the touch of a hand and your eyes, can convey as much as words can say at this time,
.My deepest sympathies to you all. xxx

Sheila i know what you mean but i realy cant keep it together, but Jans Mum is coming today later on for here tea,and shes known the family quite along time so will ask jan to ask his mum to pass on thoughts and prayers for the family,over here when someone dies in the street or someone you no they send invite out for to you to attend the church and after,but i,m realy not up to it but i think it would,nt be nice if i did,nt and Jans family will attend as well

Roos my niebour came last night to ask for the address of one of the ladys who had moved,and with her being my friend i had her address i put my arms around Roos and the tears begain to fall no words were needed she knew how sorry i was about her son,its mothers day here on sunday not avery nice one for her
we are going to the place were Richard is and saying our good byes Jan and his mum are coming as well ,as they have abook were you sign so the family no you have paid your respects and hes getting buried on sat i think,but Jan said were not going the funeral he thinks its best for me as im not coping with this loverly mans death ,he was so quite and shy and we got along fine over the last few years his coffin will be going past the house of his mother were he was born and use to live,and i would like to thank you all for your support for the family,

Aw Dutch, I told you only a hug was needed in this case, she would know exactly what you were saying. I know you are taking this hard but you should really be thinking that it is a blessing, both for him and his mother, he is no longer in that dreadful pain and it must have been awful for his mother to watch him like that.

It was my deletion above, I was going to edit it and clicked on wrong one.
