This is very beautiful Delene! You and your daughters are Gorgeous, almost Georgeous. Seeing this photo made me very happy and I love the "mummy, wholeness, daughters, women" aspect it adds to the tribute. It made me realise that a bit of Ma Merle, and Ma Violet's mothering spilled over onto every woman in the family and that all women in this family add value to this world.

I didn't really know my granny because I was still very young when she passed away. I wish that I could have spent more time with her and gotten to know her a bit better. I do however, have this image in my mind, that I've created of her. In my mind she's the perfect woman and role model and even though i don't know her, judging from what people say about her, I really hope to grow up and be just as strong as she was. When I look at photos of her, she's always smiling and when I think of her, I always picture her with a smile on her face, which is exactly how I want to always picture her, HAPPY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA I Love You Sincerely Your Grandaughter Nasrin

Mrs Junior Thanks for the honour of letting us see this tribute. I know we can add tributes but for now we will allow your tributes speak to us. The other Ma (Doreen, sister of Late Merle George) is very touched and is proud of her sister's "daughter". Thanks for reminding us of a precious mother, grandma (Junaid ma's heart and soul ) aunt, sister, wife and friend.

You guys earned that honour by being part of her life. Today was just one of those days that I needed comfort and encouragement from her, a bit selfish of me since it's her birthday. It was one of those days where I experienced what she warned me about during one of my many maternity leaves regarding how difficult it is to measure success as a stay at home mother. I can just see the two of us feasting on these new chocolatey Bahamas cakes that I discovered here with us sipping coke in my backyard. I know I'd come away feeling much better.

Although I only enjoyed a few years with my wonderful grandmother before she passed away while I was still young, I have many memories that mean a lot to me. I look back fondly at the times when I'd sit on the couch at her house watching wrestling on tv and she'd spoil me with anything I wanted to eat :) Or the times when she would defend me when my father got mad at me =) More than I wish I could have spent more time with her, I wish my younger siblings and cousins could have truly experienced the beauty and kindness of their sweet grandmother. I love her and miss her dearly but I am thankful that she is in a better place.

Today, is the birthday of the one of the two women that my husband loves more than me. But I can't even feel jealous. One of them is our daughter and the other is Mrs George Senior my mother in law. We're so far away from everyone who cherished her and everyone with stories to tell. But I'm more sad that we can't visit her grave today to give her pretty flowers. I do hope however that we added meaning and happiness and value to her life while she was alive. Enough value so that the flowers that are not there now, don't matter much. One thing I learnt from the loss of her precious life was to always be on good terms with people so one has no regrets. She was taken from us too suddenly, we weren't prepared, we had no time to say goodbye. I think of the phone call before she left for Bloem and the times she's visited me in dreams but still it's not enough. In my last dream a few weeks ago she said: "He's just like his father" with emphasis on the word just like only she would say it. That's one thing I always got from her and something I continue to get thank God: encouragement to be a good wife and mother, a handler, a survivor, a pillar of strength, someone who adds joy to the lives of others. I wish so much that she could be with us physically, so I can complain to her and make fun with her like we used to with our 10'o clock morning phone calls. I still wish I could fascinate her with food and cakes. I have many desires that I can't fulfill anymore but what I do have that outweighs it all, is her good example. I feel very sad today, if only she could see our kids and spend the day with me. But I do know and she does let me know that where she is at this moment, she still watches over us. I love and miss you greatly Ma and I found it so strange when I started this profile. They had no selection for daughter in law, so I said I'm a daughter and I know you don't mind. Your words: "Don't worry what they say about you, just don't change the way you are" was enough to reassure me. I thank God for the blessing of having you as a mother.
