After the Funeral Vibes: Mrs Nita Douman

Walking out of church into the autumn morning Among many this overwhelming feeling There are no bad people, no addicts this day Too beautiful and clean: the tall tree, the air, sky Such a calmness descends All seems well - no addictions Not a day to spend frivolously The gifts of God, generously Given has sunk into all hearts Thank you Mrs. Douman, fondly "TANIE NITA" We were neighbors once, we shared plants Your homegoing gave all a taste of heaven And a mixed gathering in South Africa's NGK Netherlands Gereformeende Kerk today

Hey my dear friend and South African Compatriot, Mrs Douman, otherwise known as 'Tanie Nita' belongs to the N.G Kerk - although I WAS born in Greece, lived in England, The then Rhodesia and Zambia, i feel so at home in South Africa. I love it when you and Christopher talk and write about this country which is my land, this is where I belong. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Though it is painful to lose a friend and neighbor, yet it is a source of comfort to know that she is in safe hands. A great tribute, Anil brother !
