There are no words that can describe the loss of such a wonderful person. A “braai” on Villa Delfini’s veranda will be so different without Hesters ever present smile(even after she fell ill). She lived life to the fullest and loved her family. Bones be sure of our love and support. You are in our prayers. We miss you Hester Boshoff! Till we meet again!

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am no there
I do no sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the gentle autumn rain
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds
in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there;
I did not die
I found this poem the day my fathere died.
It is so special to me and I want to share it with you and your children
Edward

Dear Dr. Boshoff and your Children. We are so sorry for your loss. We remember Hester’s smile and how friendly she was when you lived in McLennan.
Dr Boshoff and Family
Today we learned of your loss of dear Hester. Although our paths crossed only a year ago, it seems like I had known you and Hester for a lifetime. I had regularly spoken to Janet about you and Hester over the past several months and our meeting at the airport a few weeks ago was Gods plan. We are both blessed to have known Hester and share in your loss of a very beautiful caring lady, wife and mother.
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Our sincere sympathy to you and all your family.
We have heard the distressing news of your wife’s passing and want to extend to you our sincere and heartfelt expression of sympathy.
Liewe Bones
Ons dink en bid vir jou, jou gesin en familie. Sy was ‘n sonstraal en haar compassion vir ander sal ons altyd bybly. Met baie liefde
I’ve just heard the sad news. Though I hadn’t kept in touch since both our families left McLennan, I remember Hester well and am so sad for you all. She was such a lovely, welcoming, friendly, person. Such a loss.
I just heard today of the passing of your dear wife. Please know that Helen and I loved your kind and gracious spirit as you cared for us in Fairview. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We trust in His care and blessing for you and the children.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Deeply saddened to hear of your loss. May Hester’s memory live vividly among all of you! I will never forget the great banana pie she made me on my last days of work in acute care! Her smile was infectious!
So sorry for your loss. I remember her lovely smile. Our prayers are with you all.
Dr.Boshoff and family please accept our condolences on your loss.from Anna Spencer
