On Her Way - with Grief and Loss by Beryl Botman

My dear friend, Reinette Terreblanche and I reminisce our longterm relationship that has grown out of the friendship and working relationship of our late husbands. I have come to know Reinette as a warm, unpretentious host that shares not only her home, but her heart. She doesn't only feed her guests, she shares of her very being in her cooking, her talents and other interests. Her hospitality is a testimony of the love of her friends. Enjoy our conversation.
