Aunty Lisa, Uncle Bevil, Meggan and Kayla




Meggan Liebenberg age 11 (cousin) (South Africa) 2007 08 01

So beautiful and calm, so sweet and amazing. Oh how I wish I could have met you. Such things do happen; we do not understand and ask why??? why?? why???
Our hearts were full of joy when we heard the great news of your birth but when the bad news came, our hearts wept with sorrow.
I had come home from school and I could see that something was wrong. I asked: "what's wrong?" but tears fell from my mom's face. She explained everything to me. My tears fell too. Nothing could ever be the same without Trevor in our life. Oh how I wish he was still here.

You were so sweet. I wish I could have got to know you. I wish you were still alive, but you are gone. I will always miss you. You were so hamsome and charming that I will never forget you. You must be the coolest and cutest angel in heven. I loved the way you looked at everyone. I love every moment that you were alive. I love you

Our darling Trevor,
12 September 2006 is a day we will never forget. Your mommy and daddy were beaming in that photo with you in their arms.
We never got to meet you but know you - we did. Your mommy and daddy would tell us all you did, how fast you were growing and how beautiful and incredibly clever you were.
Grandma and Granddad would tell us how precious and adorable you were and so we got to know you!!
The day the tragic news came out hearts broke and we just couldn't understand why. Slowly but surely we are understanding, sometimes harder than others, that God needed you in heaven to watch over all of us.
You will always be in our hearts and thoughts and a day doesn't go by without us thinking of you, our darling little angel.
Love you and always will.

Can you hear me

Trevor, Trevor ..... I wish I knew that you could hear me. Losing you makes me realize just how small I am in this very large universe.

Grandparents Poem






WHY Trevor why

Why did you go so soon?
Our morning talk meant so much
The togetherness was just great
I had plans for you to row me on the lake
But you stopped after 133 days
And left me drifting and in a daze

You did not meet all the people you should have met
All those folk in South Africa were waiting for you
To charm them as you did with all you did meet
Especially granddad and grandma
Who now carry your name back home?

You met and inspired so many people
That, we guess Jesus said it was enough
You influenced so many so quickly and so easily
By your pleasing relaxed easy going and calming way

Your message of love and happiness
Will be spread to all, especially the family
You sadly did not meet
Jesus must have been impressed

We dreamed of you as a great scholar
The sport you did not play
We guess you would have done just fine
A boy for all time

For us you showed happiness and attentiveness
And followed through with a quiet cry
Which had us all running?
To be at the side of our star
And wondering what you could be asking for

You commanded attention without making a noise
The power you had and used in your charming way
Brought happiness and joy way beyond expectations
Your alert and attentive behavior
Made life so easy with innocent love

You loved your bath time and especially when mommy let
The water run over your head and down your face
While dad supported closely

At bed time you were great and did not once put up a fight
As you knew both dad & mom needed the rest
So they could be at their best when next you stirred

But it was at your bedtime that you breathed your last
And left us wondering
And we will love you till beyond our last

Why Trevor why,

Grandad & Grandma Hamilton
