Funeral

The funeral of Willanton took place outside the house where he used to live, also the house Barney grew up in. There were many kids singing and it was a very emotional event. The coffin was carried to the nearby cemetery and he was buried beside his grandmother. As the children sang and the men filled the grave of the young boy his grandfather, Barney’s father, could not bear it and ran crying towards the grave. Barney who is very professional but also a very emotional person held a speech not showing the tears behind his eyes. Back at the house we hugged and he cried briefly before pulling himself together again. After giving everyone at the funeral food he had to rush to Grootfontain to prepare the funeral of his wife’s aunt who past away the same day as Willanton. Death knows no timing.
