Please know how precious you are all to me, I am so proud of you and so blessed to have had the chance to meet Eric and share but a moment of his life. I have said many times before, that from day 1, the telephone call I received in August 2008 from the UK, these are my family and I will cherish every moment, which I have. Always know, even the distance apart, you are never from my mind. Sheila (sister) we will have much time together and we will giggle wildly again, I promise you that.. our hearts go out to you and always know that I love you... Eric will never be forgotten and I am so proud he was my cousin.. xxxx

It is with great sadness that I share, my dearest Dad has set sail for his next adventure. Mom, Rog, I and the rest of the family will miss you every day Dad but you will never be forgotten. Your name will also continue through your grandson Tyler Eric. Dad you were the greatest husband to Mom and Father to Rog and I. A gifted Sportsman on the cricket and rugby fields, a Comrades Marathon runner and an astute businessman owning and running a successful shipping agency for many years. Dad you created the platform for our family and we will never forget you. Rest in peace Hops, until we all meet again xxx

Dad, I think of you and Mom every single day and I miss you both so much. I think of all the good times, the fun and laughs we had over the years' and that makes me smile. I love you both so much and you would be pleased to know that I am fine and doing well. The boys and Jeanelle send their love too and I always talk about you both with them. I will continue to do the best I can for the family and hope we can meet again one day xxx
