Dear friend of Lise

My name is George De Villiers, father of Lise.
I am aware of the correspondence which she had with you and wish to give you the tragic news that she passed away on 29 Aug 2014.

My wife (mother of Lise) died of cancer on 11 Aug 2014.

Lise recovered completely from experimental medication a month or two before her mother passed away, and she fully committed herself to looking after her mother until she died.

She confirmed to me, her father, that she would look after me during the coming months and I looked forward to that period with her.

On 29 Aug 2014 se went to a steakhouse and choked on a piece of meat, could not be brought around and died.

The way I see it, God wanted my wife to have company and did so by taking Lise away on my wife's birthday (29 Aug).

Having lost both now, my house is very empty. I am well supported by the community and try to live in their honnor.

Thank you for your friendship of Lise over an extended time and look after yourself.

Kind Regards

George J De Villiers

I'm very sorry to hear this and we are very sorry for your tragic loss.

Please take care and feel free to make a new username for yourself if you'd like continued emotional support from our community.

Eljay will be sorely missed. She was a long-time member of our community and made some good friends here.

Sincerest Condolences,

She had such a lovely spirit, and was such a dear and devoted friend. She will be missed more than I can say. I am trying to take comfort in that she and her mother are together again, and pray they are resting in peace.

I am so very sorry for your losses. Please take good care during these trying times; you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Truly,
-Fresia

I'm so very sorry, George. That is dreadful news indeed.

Please know that we at PC are so very proud of Lise for having achieved that level of control over her medication needs in the last few months. It is difficult at the best of times. That she was able to do it and be a rock for her mother all at the same time is phenomenal indeed.

Our hearts go out to you. Please feel free to keep visiting PC whenever you choose. It can be a useful thing to have kind ears available 24-hours a day, especially when things are this painful. We are not a substitution for any professional help, but many of us have experienced pain and loss and would like to be supportive to anyone else in need.

May your Lise rest in peace with her mother.

Dear Mr. De Villiers,

Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your dear wife and daughter.

While I did not have any contact with your daughter while here on Psych Central, she was a long term member and that meant she was "family".

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

With Care,
sabby

Eljay and I would often correspond as she was a fellow South African. I will miss her.

Very saddened to hear the news of the premature loss of Elijay (and your wife) . I am sending you all the positive and happy energy to help with the grieving process. I will miss Elijay's posts on the PC forums. She was always very caring and sweet PC member I will think of them both tonight as I see two new bright stars in the night sky.

I'd like to remember Eljay to you, when she wrote about all kinds of places around the globe, it was interesting, and when she talked to us of soccer.

Take care,

Kind regards

I am so sorry to hear that your wife and daughter have passed away. I just cannot seem to come up with the right words to say, I am at a loss! Very gentle hugs to you. I am sure that this must be a huge challenge for you to deal with.

Deepest condolences,

Shez
