I remember many good times and laughter shared with Ghislaine and Colin. 
Gone from this earth but forever in our thoughts. 
Rest in peace Ghislaine!

Dear Ghislaine, the last time you came to visit us in Belgium was in 2006, so long since we were able to meet.  
You lived so far away from us, but you were always in our hearts.
Sending messages for your birthday, at Christmas and New Year
will not be possible anymore. In this way we still kept a connection with you.
Hopefully this is still possible with you Elisa and your family.
Ghislaine we will miss you.

When you set foot on the other shore
And it turns out to be heaven.
When you are touched by a hand
And it turns out to be God's hand.
When you hear music
And it turns out to be angels
Then you haven't gone
but gone home! To Colin who you loved so much.

From Rita and Dominiek and family from Belgium


Ghislaine was our regular babysitter when I was young.
This was when she still lived in Belgium. As a family we were able to witness her move to South Africa and then to Canada.

The Christmas card we received each year was always the first in line!
She still regularly visited her mom in Belgium, but when she passed away she didn't visit her much anymore.

The contact stayed and when I married I also received a Christmas card at my own address. 
In Canada we could also mail with her better.
That's how we kept in touch. Then suddenly it was quiet, no mails, no answers on the phone....One evening someone answered the phone it was Elisa. I was told that Ghislaine had been admitted to a home. I had to go and see her! And yes, we saw each other and she remembered me, how happy I was with this visit.

We kept writing to the home, sending cards, but her memory was playing tricks on her. I hope you have slept softly Ghislaine, you are now with your beloved Colin and everyone who has gone before you. Give our mom and brother Marc many greetings up there. 

Elisa, Warren, thank you for your years of support! We lived on the other side of the world and couldn't do much.
Thank you for all you did for her.

Leen and Luc


I remember you and my cousin Colin ! RIP beautiful lady! Condolences to the family and her friends ❤️Linda TUCS - South Africa xx🌻
