    I have only known Kismet for a relatively short time .. but her legend and legacy will last forever. An amazing sewer, kind hearted and really touched the hearts of so many. She was always helping others. As I got to know her more, and as she stopped with more activities, I bravely asked if I could buy her sewing tables (when she was ready) … I sa...

    Deb Hutchinson 39 years. How blessed am I to have had you in my life for that long. A more true and loyal friend can never be found in one lifetime. You touched the hearts of everyone who knew you. Nothing was ever too much when it came to helping others. I watched from the sidelines as this disease slowly got the better of you. Your 'boys' took such beautiful care of you Kizzy which is why you hung in there for as long as you could. To Clive, Kenny, Wayne, Neil, Ricky and Ryan, my deepest and most sincere condolences. Kiz, I will carry you in my heart always, until we are together again ... fly high my beautiful friend. I love you ...

    Rest in peace Kismet. Your beautiful soul is now with our lord. Our hearts and prayers are with your family at this sad time. Alex Witteveen

My heart is truly sad at the passing of Kis and I have to congratulate Clive, particularly, for his good choice of a oartner and secondly, for being a great father to my/our boys while they grew up. He never showed that they were not his kids AND he always looked after Kis i...

    Dear Friends and Family. Kismet has always been more then family, she has been the example to us of someone that could do anything, from making a handbag that look like it was made by Gucci to repairing a car. She was like a big sister to me, she stayed in our house and my father and mother was like her parents. I can still remember when she b...

    Eve Carr A most beautiful service for a most beautiful sole that is you Kismet. All the worlds, preys, poems and music. Just completely says who you are. I’m Sorry I couldn’t get there in person Kismet. Thank the lord for live-streaming. Meeting Ryan as a work colleague was heartwarming, his sole is kind and empathetic, definitely a trait that comes from being one of your son’s. When my life was low, you and Ryan took me under your wings for a while, showed me the love and kindness that we heard about today. Kismet you Brought me into your world of peace, calm and love. Treated me like one of the family, fed me and gave me the warmest of strong hugs and caring words. No judgement whatsoever. Didn’t want me to do anything but just to feel loved and be in a moment of peace and enjoy the families company. On my birthday i was presented with a patchwork quilt signed Ryan and Mom. I will always cherish this beautiful gift, along with some other stitching you did for me that I sent over to my family in the Uk. The memory of you will stay with me always. The love that you’ve gave will live on in all of us. I have been blessed to have had you in my life and my life will always be the better for having known you. As you make this next part of your journey know that you will be dearly missed. Rest easy Kismet, my beautiful friend, my Mom ❤️💗🤍

    My liewe Kismet, jy was altyd daar vir my. Ek kon enige tyd in die dag of nag vra en jy sou help met raad en daad. Ons het baie saam gelag, saam gekuier en raad gegee oor naaldwerk projekte en sommer net lekker saam gehuil as dit ook nodig was. Ek is so dankbaar dat ek die laaste 2 jaar van jou lewe sommer net kom inval by die huis en vinnig kon ...

    Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day. – Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; love leaves a memory no one can steal.

    Stella Geldenhuys20 May 2024

    When we first met Kismet she made us so welcome into her and her family’s life and it just carried on when she took over the Timbriels from Rosie she said I will teach you as much as I can. Don’t think your letting me down if you want more lessons because I love teaching and when we did an item she was so proud of us all she never liked prais...
