Leo has an amazing group of friends and family.
The friends that walked the extra mile need a special mention from us. Big hugs for Cathy, Japie, Horace, Mark, Chris and the 317 Friederiche street neighbours - Leza, Tony and Rita. While we sorted out the house in Wierda Park, these were the special angels who visited, took Leo out for coffee, helped sort out his possessions, brought us food, and gave us all so much love and support.
Leo then flew down to stay with his sisters in Cape Town on 4 November where he spent 6 weeks before moving to Panorama Palms for high care. Renda and Henriette looked after, supported, and spoilt him. They received all Leo's visitors with open arms and with the typical Theron-hospitality... tee en 'n eetdingetjie. We and the sisters were with Leo when he breathed his last breath, and we will forever cherish that moment. Thank you for your tremendous love and care Renda and Henriette.
"God sends us angels in human form,
To comfort our hearts as we walk through a storm.
With constant reminders of not giving up,
They gently refill our loving cup.
When the storm has ended, we realize,
That God has been with us in human disguise." - Kay. E. Richardson
And then we want to thank our Heavenly Father. This was a tough journey for us all. But...
too many co-incidences and too many things just fell into place. We were not alone.
