My condolences Reinet.
Nothing I can say will make the pain better, been there myself. Was in your place before, will be 5yrs in Jan since my wife passed in a hospice too. Give yourself time.
Only met Francois once but chatted with him from time to time. He was an incredible human being. Inspiring and always on my mind.

It’s with much heartache that I have to let you know, Francois passed away this morning around 5:30 😭

Reinet, my hartlike en innige simpatie met julle verlies. Ek bid vir vertroosting vir jou, en julle ouers in hierdie moeilike tyd. Francois is nou in Heerlikheid, vry van die siekte en ellende wat hom so lank geknel het. Hy kniel voor die voete van Jesus wat hom ontvang het in majesteit. Daarom, al is die seer van sy verlies rou en diep, treur julle nie soos die wêreld sonder hoop nie, maar julle treur soos die wat 'n Hoop het op hereniging. Mag dit julle dra in hierdie baie moeilike pad.

Dankie dat jy vir ons laat weet het. Hierdie klomp mense wat Francois nooit in persoon ontmoet het nie, maar wat almal voel ons het hom geken tot 'n sekere mate. Vertroos jou daarin dat hy waarlik 'n voorbeeld van deursetting, geloof en sterke krag aan elkeen van ons was. Hy sal altyd vir my iemand wees na wie ek kan opkyk as 'n voorbeeld van hoe om in waardigheid sy kruis te dra.

@Cois sal lank bly leef in elkeen wat met hom te doen gehad het se harte, en vandag huil baie van ons saam met julle.

Dankie, dat julle bereid was om sy ongelooflike storie met vreemde mense te deel. Julle het werklik 'n verskil gemaak.
