Jacomina Gertruida (Minnie) Constantinou neé van Dyk - Youngest Daughter

Our mom was a humble person who never raised her voice. Love was always streaming from her, I am sure she was an Angel sent by God to be our mom. When we were naughty she would only make 'Big Eyes' and we all knew to tow the line.

Mom was born in the Cape. They resettled to Betuanaland, now Botswana, and that is where she grew up. She learned to speak the mother tongue of the black people as well as they could. Her Mom died when she was 9. She was the eldest daughter and had to take care of her younger sister Hester and the household. The black people taught her how to cook as well.

Her father was the son of Genl De La Rey, who would often come and visit to see if the children were ok after their mom had passed away.

When moving out as adults her eldest brother Koos lived in Vryburg. Her other brother Pieter married a lady with the name Hester (Who was crazy about Stan, Maude's 1st husband). Hester and Pieter had a son Ronnie and two daughters Erin and Cecilia, who used to be a real little snip when she was small. Mom's younger sister, also Hester, married Lovey Schmidt. They never had any children and always wanted me to go and live with them.

Mom baked bread daily. When Jimmy was off in the navy it was the remaining 5 children, Mom and Dad and 2 of Dad's half brothers all had to be fed. Her food was always tasty. Friday nights she would make fish and chips. The rest of the week was real 'Boere kos' with veggies from our garden and meat and rice or mealie rice. Sundays was roast chicken and Dad would choose what pudding he would like to have. His favourite pudding Bottled Peaches with Jelly and Ice Cream. We had our own vegetable garden and our own chickens. Some to slaughter and others for eggs. I was only allowed to carry 1 egg at a time

Our Mom really loved Bing Crosby's music. She always used to say "Hy kan maar sy skoene onder my bed kom sit". We had a radio, but the brothers also played for our entertainment. Joe played a piano and pianoaccordian, Koos played violin, guitar and Hawaiian guitar. Invariably the violin was out of tune, because I would always 're tune' it for Koos.

Our Mom could make the most beautiful clothes. She once made such a stunning evening dress for Maude to go dancing in, a pink dress with silver stars.

When Mom was released from hospital, she told me that she had cancer. She had to take 2 tablets a day and the 2 of us would rest a short while in the afternoon.

Melinda (Lindie) van der Schyf neé Brooks - Granddaughter

Oumie passed away when I was only 2. So I do not really have a vivid memory of her. What I do have is a 'knowing' of sleeping behind her back when she came to visit in the house we were renting from Dad's brother Uncle Willy. Somehow I also have a 'knowing' of her soft gentle soul

Christina Ellen (Stienie) Blom neé van Dyk - Oudste Kleinkind

Vanaf 1963, sovêr ek kan onthou, het ek baie goeie tye saam met Ouma Mynie gehad toe ek by haar op die plaas gaan kuier het.

Eerstens, die plaashuis anderkant die populiersbos ... ... ... Daar het ek en my sus Bettie, en soms my boeties ook, gekuier. Voor die huis het 'n diep watervoor verby gevloei. Aan die kant van die huis was daar 'n groot poel wat met tyd gevorm het waar die trekkers deurgery het na die lande verderaan. Daar in die poel het ons altyd te lekker baljaar.

Soggens het die kombuishulp die lekkerste pap gemaak waarby Ouma eiers gebak het en oor die pap vir ons geskep het. Dan het Ouma vir ons uit die Bybel uit voorgelees en ons het hande gevat om saam te bid. Ouma het dan brood geknie en ons het uit die huis gegaan om te gaan speel. Ouma het die brode in die buite oond gebak, die lekkerste was die egte plaasbotter op 'n sny warm boere brood. Somtyds het Ouma vir ons eiervrug (in dun skyfies gesny) in botter gebak en op die brood was dit 'n heerlike lekkerny. Ook was varkvet op brood met sout en peper vir my konings kos.

Klokslag, elke dag voor 10h00, het daar 'n groot likkewaan in die watervoor afgekom. Ons het buite gespeel en as dit warm was het ons in die water baljaar. Ek onthou nog eendag, toe Oom Sidney nog by Tannie Minnie gekuier het, dat hulle saam met ons buite was waar ons geswem het en in die son gelê het. Ewe skielik was die kombers waarop ons lë oor my kop, en Oom Sid sê ek moet nie koekeloer nie, want ek mag nie sien wat grootmense doen nie, maar ek het geweet hy wil weer 'n soentjie steel.

Ouma was baie lief vir naaldwerk. Destyds was die meel sakkies van wit linne gemaak met patrone op gedruk. Sy het die sakkies spierwit uitgewas en dan die patrone uitgeborduur en vadoeke en voorskote gemaak. Van die groot sakke het sy kussingslope gemaak. Sy sou op die stoep in die koelte sit om ons dop te hou terwyl ons in die water speel. Altyd besig met die een of ander naaldwerkie.

As Oupa op die plaas was, het hy altyd saam met Oom Koos buite gewerk. Op 'n dag in 1964, terwyl Oupa aan sy kar gewerk het, het ek amper op 'n groen boomslang getrap wat uit die boom in die water geval het. Toe ek gil was Oupa dadelik by en gooi die slang met 'n moersleutel wat in sy hand was. Daardie dag was oupa ook amper gepik toe hy en Pennie (die jong bediende wat na ons gekeyk het) tussen die water plante gesoek het vir die slang. Skielik roep Pennie dat Oupa moet stilstaan, want ta se kind lê op 'n blaar van die waterplant digby Oupa se gesig. Sy het die slang toe doodgemaak. Daardie nag begin ek nagmerries kry en Oupa het gery van die plaas af na 'n noodapteek in Johannesburg om vir my medisyne te gaan kry.

Daar was ook familiebyeenkomste op die plaas gehou. Dan word daar geslag, bees, skaap en vark. Almal het dan hulle deel gekry om saam te neem huis toe. Ouma het 'n groot kole yskas gehad net buite die agterdeur waarin sy al die vleis, groente en eiers in gebêre het. Sy het ook vet uitgebraai en frikkedelle ingelê in flesse.

Kerstyd was die familie ook almal weer bymekaar. Die groeter kinders, ek en Shannon, het dan met al die kleintjies gespeel. Die plaashuis was baie groot en ons kon lekker wegkruipertjie speel in hom. Oom Joe en Oom Sid het altyd vir die kinders poetse gebak.

Jare daarna, by die plaashuis met die grasdak, was daar ook goeie tye gewees. Daar het ons lekker gespeel en ook in die besproeingsdam agter die huis geswem. Gereeld in die vrugte bome geklim, veral as die vrugte ryp was. Soms het ons ook gaan kyk hoe die werkers boontjies verpak vir die mark, of saam Oupa gery om vir Oom Koos kos weg te bring na die buurplaas waar hy op die tabaklande gewerk het.

Ek sal die plaashuise vir altyd onthou. As ek kon skilder, sou ek dit wat ek voor my geestesoog sien, op doek wou vas lê.

Die hartseerste dag was toe ons in die Kaap met vakansie was en die tyding gekry het van Ouma se afsterwe. Ons het dadelik gepak en teruggekom vir haar begrafnis. Dit was net so hartseer toe ons vir oulaas plaas toe is om al Ouma se goedjies op te pak. Daar het ek besef dat dat dit 'n deel van my lewe was wat afgesluit is.

Na Ouma se dood het het Oupa Mayfair in Johannesburg, Transvaal toe getrek. Ons het daar vir hom gaan kuier en hy het gereeld vir ons kom kuier.

Oupa en Ouma was twee groot ouers wat enige kind trots en geliefd laat voel het. Hulle was die sout van die aarde.

Rhonél Winnifred Woodford neé De Wet - Granddaughter

What I can remember is that Ouma died when I was nearly 7. She used to safe guard me totally. The times I spent with her on the farm along with Shannie and Kosie were the best! I recall how she used to say that she always wanted to cut her hair shorter, when she had no choice to, after the Wicks Bubblegum I stuck behind her ears when I slept with her, got tangled in hair.

The times we use to go down the "voor" in the big bathtubs were awesom, best times on the farm. Then if you could just dip your hands in her tins of biscuits. She always had something for every one. She really loved my father and I think she was the only mother figure he ever had in his life.
Sometimes though I think he missed her more than what my mother did - my opinion only.

I was very lucky to spend time with both my grandparents shortly before their deaths and there are memories I will always treasure, even though we lived far away in the Free State.

Jacomina Gertruida (Minnie) van Dyk - Youngest Sister

During the war Jummy was a sailor. If I am not mistaken he was stationed in Portugal. He came back for a few weeks when I was about 3 years old. If Our dad wanted to give me a hiding, the Jimmy told him that if he did, Jimmy was going to take me back to Portugal with him.

He was fanatical about his canaries and in caring for them ... he prepared their meals, certain food and boiled eggs.

After returning home from the war he worked at a steel factory. After he passed away they provided a vehicle for his wife Helen to fo do her shopping. The director of this company told Joe, (younger brother to Jimmy) that Jimmy was the best worker he had ever seen.

He had such a big heart, when I was still working for National Airways, I would on occasions have to work at their Cape Town offices too. Many times Uncle Jimmy would fetch me from the airport. He spoiled me rotten, cleaning my fruit, washing my grapes etc.

Both Helen and I were so proud of him for overcoming challenges he faced.

Lindie van der Schyf neé Brooks - Niece

I recall Uncle Jimmy visiting us sometimes. No clue where or if he slept, I just recall everything he taught me. On one of his visits, he took my mom's wooden tea tray and drew a picture of sunflowers on it and then proceeded to use a soldering iron to 'burn' the picture onto the wood. He taught me how to do this and bought me my very own soldering iron along with coloured papers, that I could add colour to that which I was making. It was a blue soldering iron which I stored in my stainless steel lunch box my dad had made for me. Along with my stainless steel 'Spacecase" to hold my pens etc, it just made my suitcase too heavy. So I repuposed the lunch box.

Jacomina Gertruida (Minnie) Constantinou neé van Dyk - Youngest Sister

Maude was much older than I was. She was 12 years older than me. What I do know is that she used to love wearing shorts. Maude loved to go dancing, and our mom made her the most beautiful dresses.

After divorcing her first husband Stan, she was financially not able to take care of her daughter, Shonnon, on her own. She had to work and in the end the best option was to bring Shanny home to us and she lived with us untill she had to go to high school in Edenvale.

Maude and Stan used to go dancing very often.

Maude also worked at Barclays Bank. She was an exceptionally hard and good worker. The branch manager said that when Maude's health did not permit her to be at work, he merely locked her office door ... because he knew when she can comeback to work, she will catch up any all backlogs.

When I started looking for a job, Maude said I should go to the branch where she worked, and she gave me some forms to fill in. That same day still her branch manager sent me to the Hillbrow branch of Barclays, and that is where my banking career started ... worked for the bank for 22 years.

Maude had her own netball team. She was a talented player and captain of the team, and Dot and I used to play for her. We would have practice every Wednesday in Mayfair, Johannesburg.

I forget the name of the person Maude married after she divorced Stan. But it did not last long, and she later married her 3rd husband George Higgins. He was a real saint, and he really loved Maude a lot. When she was in hospital, uncle George bought her a beautiful car to ride around with. He then gave her old Volksie to me.

Sadly, after being discharged from hospital her and Shannon had a major argument and Maude took her own life.

Lindie van der Schyf neé Brooks - Niece

Aunty Maude always had windup toys. I remember playing with them in the entrance haal of the house she and uncle George lived in in Edenvale. There was also a little putt-putt course they would let me play on. Aunty Maude was very talented. She made the most beautiful handbags which she weaved. Yes, she made one for me too.

When in primary school, I sometimes used to stay with Aunty Sarie Du Preez in the afternoons after school. For a time, Uncle Stan lived in one of the out rooms there with them too. When I was in high School, Aunty Sarie lived with us for a while. When I asked my mom how she fitted into our lives, she told me that Aunty Sarie and Aunty Maude were best friends

Gerda (Jacomina Gertruida) Kotze neé - Jongste Dogter

My Pa, 'n dogter se droom man, wat sy dogter se siel kon verstaan. Hy was 'n Godsman wat geleef het vir sy gesin, 'n man vol liefde en deernis en met baie sterk waardes. Sy humorsin en liefde vir kuier hou ons steeds na 10 jaar aan die gang, en ons koester hom in ons harte vir ewig.

Lindie (Melinda) van der Schyf neé Brooks - Niece

As kind het ek my soms verbeel Oom Joe en Tannie Lettie was my regte ouers met maskers op. My herrinneringe aan Oom Joe is almal goeies. Hy en Tannie Lettie was ook my Peetouers.

Hy het 'n omgee hart gehad. Soveel vir die welsyn en behoeftiges gedoen. Ek onthou as ons soms inry teater toe gegaan het, dan was Oom Joe daar en het hy orrel gespeel om geld vir die welsyn te in. Ook onthou ek hoe hy kos en komberse vir 'n gesin, pa, ma en twee klein kindertjies geneem het waar hulle in hulle kar gebly het. Wanneer die familie Winkelspruit toe gaan vir die CSV kampe, was daar 'n gaatjie vir my ook.

Was so trots om te kon sê my Oom en Tannie was Burgermeesters paar van Alberton. Ook onthou ek een aand wat 'n trok se brieke nie gewerk het nie, en 'n klompie karre is meegesleur soos die trok op die steil afdraend van Southcreast na New Redruth afgekom het. Ons was almal so bekkommerd oor Oom Joe, en nie geweet of hy ook in die ongeluk beland het nie. (Die dae voor selfone)

Later jare toe hy nou al ouer was, het ek en my drie seuns gereeld by Oom Joe en Tannie Lettie gaan kuier waar hulle in Faerie Glen in Pretoria gebly het. Altyd moes ons daar eet, en dan maak Oom Joe grappende gewys verskoning vir die kos. "Julle moet maar verskoon, my ou vrou het maar weer tou deur die bek voorgesit" en dan antwoord Tannie Lettie "Haai Pa ".

Vir seker het hy diep spore in baie mense se lewens getrap, en is baie van ons ryker in ons mens wees, vir die voorreg om hom in ons lewens te kon hê.

Minnie (Jacomina Gertruida) Constantinou neé van Dyk - Youngest Sister

Joe was the GREAT FUNNY guy at the bus stop in the mornings. Everyone was always around him. He went to Helpmekaar Hoërskool and both he and I lived with our elder brother Jimmy and his wife Helen, so we could attend school. Our parents and siblings had moved to the farm.

While still at school he made a foofyslide. He went down head fist and ended up with a gash in his head and blood oozing out everywhere.

One Christmas, Joe and his wife Lettie came to the farm and brought a machine with for Oumie and for me they brought the most beautiful pink petticoat. He was always there for his brothers and sisters, no matter what.

Lynette Caroline van Wyk neé Lamberti - Step Daughter

Although Kosie was my stepfather, he loved me like his own. He was always there to talk to and help me. We spent great times together, especially when he was building at home. He was so patient.

One memory was of me learning to ride a bike. He would take the side wheels off, and I would try riding the bike and not come right, and he would then patiently put back the wheels and he would do this exercise all over the next day. Until one day, I woke up from a dream dreaming I could ride, he believed in me and once again took off the wheels and I showed him I could ride. He was very proud of me.

What was hard for me, was to watch him whilst being so ill, all the ops and procedures he had to go through. I would always remember him for his big heart, patience, love and support. He never gave up on me. I'm grateful for everything he has taught me, not only with words, but through his actions.

Jacomina Gertruida (Minnie) Constantinou neé van Dyk - Youngest Sister

Koos was the quiet brother. He worked as a glazer. He had a passion for farming, and wanted to farm with sheep. To this end our parents sold the house our dad had built in Craighallpark (57 Lancaster Avenue, Craighall Park). The funds were not sufficient to buy a farm and implements. So they just bought implements and rented the farms that they lived on.

He absoluely worshiped our mom and vowed never to get married until she had passed away. His reason being, that no woman would understand and it nor would it be fair to put someone through that.

Melinda (Lindie) van der Schyf neé Brooks - Neice

Uncle Koos was ALWAYS fun to be around. He played guitar and Hawaian guiter. He would let me play the Hawaian Guitar and said oneday when I am big I can have it. He never had a problem to get down on the ground and play with us. I also do not think I have ever seen him angry.

Aunty Noline recalls me telling him he is 100 years old and he would reply 'O ja!'

Only good memories.

Rhonél Winifred De Wet - Eldest Daughter

can I say about my mother. She was strict - very strict - I was very weary of her - BUT she was one of the best cooks and bakers I have ever come across. She could prepare and serve a banquet just as easily as she made dinner for us. My Mom could make a feast out of nothing - and I am not exaggerating This also caused me to only want to always eat good food - not necessary expensive food - but good wholesome food. Then I landed in boarding school - with not so nice food .

My mom was at her happiest on the sport's fields of South Africa. She excelled at so many sports, She had different provincial colours in Netball, Korfbal, Hockey, Softball and Archery and I am sure if she was allowed to play rugby those days - my mom would have. She also had provincial colours in umpiring in Softball and Cricket. Ooh goodness, and don't forget the Golf and the Bowls - she tried her hand at everything.

Dottie Dottie Dash also had green fingers. She could make anything grow. Her garden was her pride and joy. She even revived all my dead potplants.

Mom had very high standards for everything both Delrey and myself fell short of most. We just could not replicate what she had done. Delrey too was well on her way on the sport fields until life happened to her. Me, all I could do was read, read, read.

Our mom also made all our clothes when we were younger. She knitted all our jerseys and made all our curtains etc. The only problem was she had no patience to teach us.

Mom also worked full time whilst multi tasking everything else along with her job.

She was a brilliant grandma to the grand children. Had all the patience in the world. She left us too early, I really do miss her a lot - even with all our misunderstandings ( and I mean I was misunderstood).

Llewaine Woodford - Eldest Grandson

Ouma Dot was a very sporty and energetic woman who loved to watch sport, especially her cricket. She used to go with me to play mini-cricket at the park. Funny enough, I did not even like the game, yet, because of her love for cooking, I never said no, because there was always a rolling pin or 'paplepel' at hand to administer a smack or two to a child who needed it.

I must say though, that although my Ouma Dot was not someone you would mess with, she was one of the few people who could make something out of nothing, and it would look and taste amazing.


Jacomina Gertruida (Minnie) Constantionou neé van Dyk - Youngest Sister

Dot had a green tin in which she buried everything of importance to her.

Her husband was the great great great grandson of Gnl De Wet, consequently they named their youngest daughter Delrey (For Genl De La Rey)

Melinda (Lindie) van der Schyf neé Brooks

Aunty Dot was talented in may different ways. One thing she taught me was to make pretty candles using candles and wax crayons. This came in very handy later in life when my own children had Entrepreneurs Days at school ... the candles proved to be very popular. After I was married for the first time, and moved to Theunissen in the Free State, I would often go and visit Aunty Dot who stayed in Virginia. Her flat was so pretty inside. Was always a mission to get going again ... 'Lin, maar jy het nou net 2 koppies tee gedrink' still rings familiarly in my ears.

Esmé Valerie Needham - Daughter

Dit wat ek van my ma kan onthou is dat sy baie lief daarvoor was om te onthaal. Boonop was sy vreeslik kunstig en kon enigeiets mooi maak.

Sy was baie diplomaties. As sy jou die dag invlieg en hel toe stuur, het jy eintlik uitgesien na die rit.

Sy was baie erg oor Shanté en het haar Cupcake genoem.

Ek mis haar vreeslik, veral as die kinders take het om te doen vir skool.

Melinda (Lindie) van der Schyf neé Brooks

I used to visit Shanny often. She always had lost and lots of pets. I remeber two of the things she did to generate an income. One of them was to draw, cut out and paint disney characters onto Polystyrene and sell those. Then there were the plaster of paris moulds she made of litterally anything. Animals, vegetables, fruit anything. These too wwer then painted and sold as ornaments.

Strange I can not think of one time where I was in the room where I would have slept. She led a busy life and we were always on the go. She would also take me with to Aunty Penny, her sister-in-law. Their daughter and I would 'Make Up' concerts for them to songs like ... Ring Ring of Abba, Rhinestone Cowboy, I don't wanna play house etc. Aunty Penny would make popcorn and pour colddrink for the 'show'. Often we also visited Didi, Shannon's Mom-in-law.

Denis was not around that much, always working and worked alot of overtime. What I do recall of him was that he was a quiet man. I remeber going with Shanny to fetch him from work one afternoon, and the music that was playing that aftrernoon for some reason stuck with me, and I still enjoy them today.
