Ja moh he s 2 years today. We love him so as u did eventho the last days he was too much for u.
He s talkin and a bit out of the way but u thought us right so u no he gets disciplined.
When I see him I think of u cuz he's ur first grand and he loved u. He always surprise us and look at ur foto's and say "mummy laughing", "look mummy laughing there" as he points to ur foto's. One day he said "look 3 mummy laughing" as he pointed to all 3 of ur foto's.
We all smiled and responded "Yes, mummy laughing" a Sabbath afternoon. We all were together Ta and his girls since the boys gone to become men by God's grace. We pray for them daily and I tell them to live the way u would have wanted them to live.
Christmas coming and we dont even know how to start planning without u. Its hard but we have Ta and we will do our best to keep him happy.
God is good to us all the time eventho we question many decisions he made but by his wounds we are healed.

First visit! / Bianca Schmidt (Daughter first child )
Mummy,
I had my first visit after my friend, neighbour and sister of the church Sybil's funeral. It was a sad day cuz I looked at those girls and I know their pain cuz they were also close to their mum.
I visited your resting place and the pain was so heavy the tears kept flowing. Me and Mariana were together remembering God's blessing upon us of having you as our mother and missing you so greatly.
I dont know when the pain will end but I know its not any time soon but my hope is in Christ Jesus to see you when he comes.

Ever so grateful / Felicia Schmidt (daughter)
Well it´s at least 4 months ago since my life has been at stand still and i doing all i cant to pick up the pieces. İ must say it´s up till now the most difficult period İ have been tru.
İ am away from home now trying to relax and get back on my feet and its even more hard wondering how the others are coping without my presence, especially my dad, seeing it was your birthday recently.
My brothers are off to start their lives on their own and Moh, you would be so proud of them, i know we are. Just like İ promised İ will be there for them tru thick and thin. İ told you i will continue on along side my dad and be there for them where you didnt get the chance to finish and of course my sisters are here with us and together as always we can overcome all.
The house is as a graveyard, so quiet, so empty, yet so full with memories. İn a selfish way İ am a bit happy İ am not there at the moment.
We are so greatful for what you have accomplished tru and with your life. You have done more for us than you can imagine, you have given us the best things life can offer, you have given us each other and we bless to part of each others lives. We are close knit because you would have it no other way and your death has ensured this for the more. Thank you and may God keep us till we are one again united and our tighs that bind will be for the more tightend and maybe even a few more threads added that you will finally meet, hahahah.

The boys left! / Bianca Schmidt (First child - daughter )
Mummy, our boys have left us. I miss them so and they right next door with Ta. I know that u would be happy to see them move a step further into indepence. I'm scared for them knowing the ways of the world and the weaknesses that we all have and so easy to slip into. But I'll continue praying even more so that God will carry them safely each step of their ways.
Thank u for instilling the values of God and life in us and I thank u for choosing a father like ours to be there for us now u are away.
Now our house is more empty the pain gets harder not having u here with us. I miss u so much but I have the hope that lives within us in the coming of the Lord then we'll see u mummy in great glory.

Remembrance of a dear sister and friend / Philomena Bradshaw (Friend)
Dear family and friends of our late beloved one,
Time has gone by so swiftly. It was last year just around this time that we the women of the foundation, "Women with a Higher Purpose" visited with our dear sister, to celebrate her birthday. I could still see the smile on her face as we hugged and embraced her. It did our hearts good to had spend the evening with her and the entire family. That memorable moment even as I write, stand out vividly before me. Every moment of life is to be cherished, because we never know how soon it will depart. To the family we say hold on. May the memories that you hold so dear give you the strength to carry on. Let us be faithful and God will give us a crown of life. The prayers of the faithful ones are still with you.
It is a few months since you left us, yet in all the thigs we do we can still hear your laugher or see your radiant smile. I mss the tmes we talk and laugh and i was usually theone to say I didn't hear that.
Our travels together to Curacao the long nights chatting, shopping going to Curaco broght back so much memories. Eventhough it hurts a bit less the void will always remain.
At times inmy own selfsh way I wish Jesus would ome so w can laugh again, but I have to wait so others can get ready to met him, your children my chidren and all other family members.

This too shall pass!!!! / Felicia Schmidt (second daughter )
It's a little more than a month now, and things are just the way it was the day she died. I still feel empty and oblivious to the world, but I am coping the best one can under the circumstance. Folks keep saying it will get easier as the days go by and that i must take it to the lord in prayer. Pray i do, keep busy I do, but the reality of it all is, my mother (moh) is gone and I will never here on this earth lie in bed and talk to her about any thing or everything again. I think of how proud she would respond to our accomplishments which would give us hope to push on. Well it does not get easier day by day because the more I see she is really not coming back, the more I have to deal with its reality. I realise only time and putting things into it's right perspective will make the diffrence. which make so grateful for loving family and friends not excluding my 5 chums who even though are not here with me they are with me at heart and are doing all to help me through this proces. I thank the Good Lord for even when I can't feel him amids the sorrow, He keeps lifting me. I know he is right here carrying me, because I feel safe and secured and hopeful. He keeps saying to me, dont you see my child I am preparing you for my kingdom where I go to make all things new, this is just a moment, preparing you for eternity and immortality. If this is what it has to be to get me where I am to be ( I won't say I am please with this and thats it's ok that my mom is not around), I am saying I will trust God and let him work it out in his time and his way, which I cant always understand, but knowing with him it can only go up from here. You see my mom was a beautiful person, inside out and I saw her, because of sin, Physically tranformed... I look forward for the day that her body will be transformed and conformed to what it was intended to be, no more foreign components in her body breaking her down. Her voice will reach its peak with melodious sounds, her laughter will be encouraging, contagious and enlimunating. Can't hardly wait till the day I'll see you again. So hold on my sister your change is gonna come, be strong my brother, for your work is not done, just keep on believing and hold on, He's able to give you joy when the morning comes. HE'S ABLE!

You would be proud 7 weeks later / Urisha Blake (4th niece )
Almost two months ago now that Clasina came into my dutch class and told me to pack up my things. Seven weeks ago she said your mom is sending someone to get you. She prepared me for know it so i asked her is my aunt dead? Yes. It may sound strange but I still feel chills when I hear YES. I knew it was comeing thus i prepared myself i hugged you while you were just there i still felt warmth in your body so it meant you were not gone. In your casket I touched your face it was cold but your picture made you feel warm.
Garry has graduated, I have gone over, Keishan has made it to HAVO 2. Glenville, Gayle and Uly are graduating tonight how we wih you would be there. But you know what You are in our hearts and 7 weeks later I can smile I can say that God is good. Seven weeks later You would be proud just 7 weeks later.

Tante you are gone i get it now. I see you in the faces of your children and your grandson J'Donnie. I see your picture of you at Yaan wedding Wow. You looked amazing!!!

Empty but holding on to faith / Bianca Schmidt (First born )
Im here some days are ok the others Im mixed up. I focus on my building to keep me occupied. I miss mummy in everything. She was always there eventhough Im else where. I know my mummy will be there for me when I call or when I drop by. We can talk about any and everything even if she wouldnt like what ever it is Im involve with. Now I have to work it out on my own. But I thank God I have my Ta to keep us together and Felicia who's always the second mother in the house. We still have eachother to talk to but the mother's bossom is something Ill miss until we meet again.
I picture her smiling and looking for us and when she see my Ta how she light up and then she see us the kids and grand kids, she ll be blooming like the rose that she is. What a beauty!

Sterkte aan Bianca, vader, broer en zussen / Annerose Dijkstra-Belfor (Friend of Bianca )
Alsnog heel veel sterkte toegewenst Bianca. Het is niet niks om je moeder zo vroeg te verliezen. Ik kende haar niet persoonlijk, maar ik heb haar foto's bekeken, wat een prachtig mens was ze.
En ondanks dat ze ziek was bleef ze stralen. Al is ze niet lijfelijk aanwezig, ze zal altijd bij je zijn. Als je blijft denken aan de mooie momenten die jullie samen hebben gehad, zal dat de pijn een beetje verzachten.
Ook de condoleances aan jouw vader,broers en zussen.

Ever present in my heart / Bernard O. Schmidt (Loving Husband )
It is now one day to my birthday and the thought of Rose not being there for me becomes more disturbing and confusing, I just cannot understand why she had to leave so soon. But I do know she will be with me forever, in my heart, in my thoughts and in my dreams for quite sometime. Loosing her was never part of my plan and it makes life seems unfair, yet I can confort myself with the Blessed hope. With all the pain and lost of contact that some day we will be united and I can hold her close in my arms again, What joy I will have, never to be alone, for we will be in eternity together.
The sad thing is that she would not want me to be moping around, lost, she was ever soo vibrant full of energy she would say get upand go on with your life, just be ready to re-unite with me when Christ comes. I believe her greatest sorry would be not to have her family with her on that great getting-up morning. She does not want to be there alone, she like to share and cares for others and she want to enjoy eternity with her children.
Yes , her Children 5 they are, I am soo thankful she gave them to me to make me proud to have her off-springs, they are my comfort now. I feel happy that they are here and pray that they too will prepare for that great reunion someday very soon when Christ will come. The suffering must stop, the pain must stop, loosing loved ones must come to an end, so that joy can abound for ever.
I am happy that I could be with her spending extra time with her during the past year. Eventhough not always easy, because I could not understand what was happening to her I thank God that we could share those days together,sometimes alone. I praise GOD for her not suffering massive pains, but that she had time to talk with him not for herself only, but for her loved ones as well. I say Thank You Lord for allowing me to spend that last night with her just to two of us and we comforted each other. I thank Him for giving me strength to endure with out tiring and I know that she loved the Lord and appreciated everything we did for her.
So, to all her friends and the many well wishers I say thank you for the support in what ever way, we appreciate it and pray God for your sustenance. To my Family words cannot express how I welcomed your support being there for me and the children, I thank you for your prayersand your presence even after the burial. To my in-laws, Rose would have not asked for more you were there for in life and in passing even more. The nephews and nieces on both sides were touching in their care. I want to thanK Uri and Viviana in a special way, for they have allowed me to cherish her even when she is not by my side, they have given me good hope in reflecting her life ' ALIFE WITH A MINISTRY OF MUSIC" not for herself, but in honour of the GOD OF HEAVEN. Sleep Babe we will be together in the earth -made-new. LOVE OF A LOVING HUSBAND!
Mommy It's been a little more than a week and i jsut can't seem to stop hurting. I wish you where here to ease my pain and to make me smile. Mommy all the fun times we had togther means so much and i wish we could have them again. Everyone is saying I will see you again in the great gettin up morning but then I wont need you as much as i nee you now. Because then ther ewill be no more pain and hurt and sicknesses. it's now is this harsh world is when i need you. I don't lnow how to continue living without you. you were always my everything and now it seems like there is nothing only emptiness. Your not thre for me to share secrets and stories with. We could talk about everything and it's all gone. Sometimes I wonder why you were taken from us, because we need you. Nothing positive has come out of your death. You will be missed so much every day that I breath I will miss you. You were my role model you were my star you were my song everything I did I do it to make you happy because you did everything in your power to make us happy and give us all we needed even when it meant not giving yourself something. You were the best mom that anyone can ask for. The years we had with you were well spent and are GOLDEN YEARS Even when I gave you headaches you were still there for me. Mommy, Ma I miss you so much I wish you were here and I will always wish that you were here. LOVE YOU FOR ALWAYS AND EVER

The poem which was written for you / Urisha Blake (4th neice )
Despite we’ve fallen from grace God spared the human race Still blessed with talents from above What wondrous matchless love
Oh Rose you’ve faded and you’re gone So long, so long, so long Until the resurrection dawns Farewell, farewell, so long…
Those flowers you placed in our hearts All through the years will last A legend beyond price or pearl Thanks for healing our world
No moment, no earthly rose Could be exchanged for you Our heart is shattered beyond grief Cause now you rest in peace
No voice like thine word’s soft ‘n sweet Farewell God’s master piece Your warm felt smiles gracious divine To us you’ve been so kind
Your day by day sweet welcome charms Healed hearts as were fore-planned Oh priceless pearl you lit out world Farewell we miss you Rose
And as the time rolls on and on We’ll keep singing your songs And may the prayers before you died Save your soul sanctified
We long to see our deceased souls On the streets paved with gold Haste on great glad Eternal day Our hearts here melts away
Fare well Nurse, mother, sister, friend Great singer Your legend will last until the end of time
Today is exactly 2 weeks since i got that dreadful phone call. 'Viviana your aunt died' Oh how i hate those words. I said to myself i aint see it so it aint so. I made plans to come for the funeral but still not believing it is true. i saw them put you in the ground and mark your grave site with wonderful flowers, people said beautiful things about you. It hurts so much, i look at the pictures so that i never forget you beautiful face or smile. If you only knew the void you left behind. I don't ever want to forget what you meant to me nor feel like you were just an ordinary person. because that you weren't you were a gem an extraordinary. Our precious stone and you will be missed greatly. people say she is out of her suffering which is true but ours has just began and there is no way to soothe our pain, just time as they say. My aunt i love you dearly i never thought i would experience such a great lost but i will never ever get over you . RIP
