Dr Masimba Mavaza |We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Simba and his family. We can only imagine how sad you are all feeling at the moment. We are thinking of you during this difficult time. May you find strength in each other and may your happy memories of your father always be a part of your lives.
 
Words cannot fully express how you must be feeling. Please know that you continue to be in our thoughts and our prayers. Know that we will always be here for you – today and in the many days that lie ahead. Should you need a shoulder to lean on, someone to reminisce with, someone to share a toast with … or even just someone to sit beside you in companionable silence, know that we are here – ready and waiting to sit beside you. It must be hard to believe that your heart will ever stop breaking and that you will one day stop crying? They say that time heals … and perhaps it does, but for now, please know that we are ever near in your time of need, a helping hand should you need one, and a friend to support you,  as you mourn the loss of your father remember a remarkable and exceptional person, so worthy of your sadness and grief.
 
As you deal with facing the future, and try to come to terms with the special role  that he played in so many people’s lives, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. You must be feeling so bereaved and sad. How does one begin to imagine the loss that you must be experiencing right now?
 
Our hope is that the sadness will pass in time, that the laughter will replace the tears, and that as you continue to remember the wonderful role that father played in so many lives, we pray that, in time, your heart will smile again. I can only say to you one day in a moment in a twinkling of an eye and the last trump and the trumpet will sound and the dead will rise incorruptible.
 
It is at that time we will be able to say Death where is thy sting? Grave where is thy power?, And Thessalonians say comfort each other with these words. We who are living will not surpass the dead.
 
For the dead in Christ will rise first and we who are living will be joined together with Christ in the skies and we will be with Christ always. That is our dream. Soon and very soon we will be with the Lord and it is my hope that our dead will be with us. Paul says comfort each other with these words. God bless you till we meet again. In God we Trust.
