A tender mother, wife and survivor of life’s absurdities

Pray for her departure to be gentle
And her voyage to be safe
Until in the hands of her Creator she lands
With all those she befriended
Whose lives God chose
Go in peace mama
Until we hug each other again (Listen to some of her favourite songs, below)
Rafik (for all of us)
A truly beautiful memorial Rafik. Tante Laurice was the first and last of her kind in so many ways. She has touched my life tremendously and for so many years has been one of the strongest connections to the Grandmother I didn't get to know, her sister, Alice. Tante Laurice was warm, loving, courageous and kind. She was proud to have raised such a beautiful family, and was blessed to have them close to her throughout her life. She will never be forgotten.
