    Arthur, you were a part of our family,
    I remember all the special holidays out at the dam, thank you for being such a good friend to Brade and all the Williams’s …
    Our hearts are broken, but we take comfort knowing you have found peace 🙏
    To the Odendaal’s, God is close to the brokenhearted, May he provide you with comfort and strength 🙏

    Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
    1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 NIV

    Die Here is naby die gebrokenes van hart
    Rus Sag, Geagte Arthur, ons is so lief vir jou.

    Arthur my cuz, I remember you as this amazing gentle person. Although it were unfortunate circumstances for me to be close to my Odendaal family, I am thankful for the years we have in school together although not in the same standard. But I was able to get to know you for the person you were. Always this smiling greeting and with a gentle word, when we pass each other at school or Coen Vermeulen Hostel. For that I am forever thankful. Through the years I thought a lot about you, and your family. We were not in contact but you all were in my heart and thoughts a lot.
    Love you cuz.

    Those we love never truly leave us, but rather remain a song that will forever be carried in the wind.
    Arthur will never be forgotten.

    My hart huil vir julle verlies. Sterkte Tannie Marelize – dit is iets wat ‘n moeder nie moet meemaak nie. En dink aan julle Susan en Magriet. Kyk die stream hier uit Nederland. So sad dat ons almal soos ‘n handvol sand oor die wêreld versprei is. Die lewe gooi mens met ‘n paar onverwagte kinkels. Maar ons sal almal weer eendag saam wees. Sommige gaan net vinniger daarheen om in in te wag.

    Dear Arthur. We have all been blessed with many things in our lives and getting to know you has truly been a blessing. One of our favorite memories was when you came to visit our new home on Merritt Island. Watching how much you enjoyed fishing off the doc, enjoying the sunsets, and hanging with the family showed us what a kind and gentle soul you are. Your 50th birthday party was such a surprise for you too. You were so humbled that you family and new friends celebrated your special day. Words, however kind, cannot mend this heartache. But remembering your life and the greatness of you brings us all comfort and strength in our love of you. You will be missed on this earth but never forgotten in our hearts.

    The Broken Chain Poem
    We little knew that day,
    God was going to call your name.
    In life we loved you dearly,
    In death, we do the same.
    It broke our hearts to lose you.
    You did not go alone.
    For part of us went with you,
    The day God called you home.
    You left us beautiful memories,
    Your love is still our guide.
    And although we cannot see you,
    You are always at our side.
    Our family chain is broken,
    And nothing seems the same,
    But as God calls us one by one,
    The chain will link again.
    – Ron Tranmer

    To Tannie Marelize, Susan, Magriet, Julie and all the family, my heart goes out to you, I send you love and hugs. Arthur was an amazing man and clearly loved by so many people, he will not be forgotten.
    Rest in peace Arthur.
