Beautiful Service in honour of Marties life.
I wish I’d had the privilege to have known her longer.
My heart and thoughts are with you all.
She would be so very proud of her beautiful girls, her loving husband and brother as your all spoke with such grace and honesty and from your hearts.
To you all, the precious family of Martie. I was able to “join you” today from Sydney and it was my privilege. To hear of Martie’s life … From childhood, through teenager years, to young married, to mum and to grandmother, it was clear that her life was full of family and faith. It was good to “get to know” her a little today and it’s clear why you will miss her so. Thanking God for Martie. Thanking God for His promise of reunion.
Thankyou Johann, Christal and Elmie for your beautiful words spoken to us about Martie who today I have learnt so much about. Thankyou for the invitation to join in the celebration of Martie’s life, the love she has shown throughout her days and the love that continues to be in you all as you share what she has taught and given you all. We look forward to meeting you Elmie soon and know that Mum would be very proud of her daughters today . What an exceptional woman Martie was!

Beste Johann & Familie,
Ons het vandag saam met julle getreur, maar was ook saam met julle bly en dankbaar oor Martie se pragtige lewe en getuienis. Baie dankie dat julle dit vir ons moontlik gemaak het om “daar” te kon wees, en te kon deel in die opregte, pragtige boodskappe wat julle individueel en gesamentlik gebring het.
Ons wens vir julle alle sterkte toe met die aanvaarding van hierdie nuwe werklikheid in julle lewens.
Groete,
Frans en Linda Cloete
What a privilege to have been a friend of Martie for many years. Thank you for the opportunity to be part of the service from South Africa. The presence of the Lord was touchable through all that was said about her. May we all celebrate her life and cherish
the memories with her, but most importantly honor her life by spreading the gospel of God, as she has done!
We would like to express our condolences to all of Martie’s family. Martie was such a kind and
caring person who always went above and beyond to give us the best care possible. We miss her cheerful face and lovely chats that we used to have with her during a physio session, she was truly a gifted practitioner but more importantly she had a beautiful spirit & we feel so privileged to have known her, she will be greatly missed.
Kindest regards
Carolyn, Laurie, Caitlin & Liam Walsh
A beautiful way to celebrate a beautiful life.
I am so blessed to have had the time in the last few years to get to know her better. She truly has been an inspiration in all of ours lives. A shining, radiant beacon of love and kindness.
My familie,
my hart is by julle almal. dankie dat jy haar tyd by ons so wonderlik gemaak het.
Dankie dat ons kon deel in totsiens sê. Mag haar getuienis nog baie mense oortuig. So dankbaar dat ek haar Augustus kon sien. Liefde Marthie in Upington

Dit was ‘n voorreg om die herdenking van Martie se lewe te kon meemaak. Hoe wonderlik sou hierdie aardse lewe nie gewees het as van ons almal kon getuig word, dat ons soos Martie met Jesus geleef het nie. Mag haar getuienis lank lewe en harte verander.
Our love and thoughts are with you.
What a wonderful wife and Mum you have had the privilege to love and learn from.
Her glow really did come from love, and that smile on her lips and in her eyes was always welcoming.
Lots of hugs xx
God bless all with her life well lived
Liewe Tannie Corrie, Johann en dogters

My prayers to the family and friends as you celebrate – joy mixed with sorrow – Martie’s life and the hope she had in Jesus. Thank you for the service, it was a blessing to hear and share with you all from afar.

Sending much love on the passing of dear Martie. It has been a pleasure to bake for your family over the last few years, and so grateful for the support Martie always gave myself and my business.

It was lovely to hear about Martie through the eyes of her loving family, you have been truly blessed. Much love, Karen and Natasha Bliss xx

What an amazing service,
Thank you for including me, I will cherish it close to my heart just like I always thought and held Martie close.
Rest in peace my friend.
Martie, daar is so baie wat ek van jou kan onthoud en vir baie jare sal onthou. Van skool vriendin en klein niggie het ons oor jare net nader aan mekaar beweeg. Met ons voicenote oor die kontinente het ons gekuier, beplan aan ons dae op die ouetehuis se stoep met lekker tee en ons herinderinge aan Namibia. Met online konneksies het ons saam ons dogters se troues bygewoon. Martie jy het altyd my gees laat bokspring van positiewe denke na ñ gespek met jou. Ek gaan daai boodskappe mis, Maar vir jou vriendin sal ek nooit vergeet nie. Van die stofpad in Namibia tot ons weersien in God se teenwoordigheid sal ek ons pad saam onthou en met ñ verwagting uitsien na ons kuier oomblikke in die teenwoordigheid van God. Ek sal ons vriendskap altyd koester. Sterkte aan jou man en pragtige dogters en gesinne. Tannie Corrie, broers en Grieta en gesinne en bid vir julle.
Thinking of you all on the passing of Martie – mum, wife, sister, grandmother and friend. She was an amazing woman and those healing hands of hers helped me with soooo many aches and pains!
Much love being sent your way xx
Your loss of beautiful Martie is immense. She touched so many lives. May God comfort you in these days and may the wonderful, precious memories bring some comfort.
I wish I could be there today. Martie will be missed greatly, but I am so happy to have known her. She shared her wisdom and knowledge. I am so grateful. May God comfort you in these days.
Tannie Corrie and family
My deepest and sincere condolences to you.
Tannie Corrie – mag die Liewe Heer tannie styf vashou en vertroos. Hou vas aan die goeie herrineringe wat sy agterlaat .
I will miss Martie very much. Her wonderful smile would light up the Thursday Girls group every time she was present. She was a brave and giving person. Take care of each other x
