Dear Friends,
Today, we gather to remember our dear friend Piet, who left us a year ago. His absence is a void that echoes in our hearts, a silence that speaks volumes. We miss him dearly, and the world seems less bright without his presence.
Piet was not just a friend, but a beacon of kindness and creativity. He had an uncanny ability to bring out the best in people, to inspire them to reach their full potential. His spirit was infectious, his laughter a melody that still resonates in our ears.
He was a true artist, not just in his work, but in his approach to life. He had a knack for turning even the most challenging situations into opportunities for growth and learning. His creativity knew no bounds, and his zest for life was unparalleled.
Piet had a unique way of bringing people together, of creating something beautiful out of the ordinary. His legacy is not just in the art he created, but in the community he built, in the lives he touched, and in the love he shared.
As we remember Piet today, let us not dwell on the sorrow of his absence, but celebrate the joy of his presence. Let us remember his laughter, his kindness, his creativity, and his love for life.
And in true Piet fashion, let’s spend the day together with friends and family, and raise our glasses in his honour. Let’s remember Piet for the joy he brought into our lives, and the laughter he left behind.
In honour of Piet, let’s continue to live our lives with the same passion and creativity that he did. Let’s fill the void he left with memories of joy, laughter, and love. And let’s remember, as Piet would often say, “Life is too important to be taken seriously.”
With heartfelt remembrance, Mike
