Very sad news
We want to share this very sad, unexpected news with you and we want to ask you if you will keep us and Jumbo’s family in your prayers. Jumbo’s mom passed away this morning. We are soon heading to his hometown. We will share more news as soon as we arrive in Kuruman.
Thanks
It is hard to say “good-bye” but we hold to our assurance in Christ that the day will come when all our pain and sorrow will be wiped away. Our hearts go out to you in your loss.
Jumbo….I am so very sorry to hear of such a loss. I know this must just be such a difficult time and we want you and Kriek to know that we will hold you up in prayer here at Riverwood. May these next few days find moments to truly celebrate your mom’s life and may God walk so close with you both as you grieve. Grace to you both.

Romans 12:15
15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Please accept my condolence as I share in your sadness regarding the loss of your mother and grandmother to your child, Jumbo. In this time of loss and mourning, I pray you, your family and friends share in the joy, blessings and glory of God from your mother’s first life, and rejoice for the coming reunion with Christ and His believers in the second life.
1 Corinthians 15:20-23
20But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.

Jammer om te verneem van jou moeder, Jumbo. Mag die Vader veral vir jou versterk in hierdie tyd. Ek het soveel begrip vir wat jy nou moet ervaar omdat ek ‘n paar jaar gelede deur dieselfde ervaring gegaan het (die tweede keer). Dis nooit aangenaam om ‘n ouer af te gee nie, selfs al het mens ook sekerheid waarnatoe hulle vertrek. Baie sterkte vir jou en Carike. J

Thursday afternoon, 10 June, I went to fetch “padkos” from your mom – which she had made for us as we were leaving on 2 weeks holiday the following day. She was not well, and was in pain. We were in Botswana, and one of our group had roaming on there cell, when we received the sad news. We only returned 26 June, so have not been able to see you or your father yet. May you experience the power of Holy Spirit as your Comforter.
Peace and prayers are covering you.
Oh, I am so sorry for your loss, Jumbo and Kriek.
I don’t really have words… so I’ll just tell you that I love you and am praying.
xoxo
Our hearts are heavy for you and your family. Please know that we are praying for you and that we love you dearly. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Love you guys!!!
