1962 - 2025
Veels te vroeg heengegaan.
Danki, pa tur kos.
That laugh,
that would shake your whole body,
that would take your breath away,
and would leave you fixed to the spot.
In those moments,
you needed to laugh, and so, you laughed.
With focus and with joy.
Today, it’s quieter.
Life is a laughter less.
However you now continue,
keep laughing.
The echoes will catch us unawares,
and will make us smile,
in recognition,
of your unmistakable liveliness.
