But more than just a dedicated worker, Bushie was an incredible human being – warm, compassionate, and always ready to lend a helping hand. He wore his heart on his sleeve and would go to great lengths to make you feel valued and included. Never one to hesitate in lending a sympathetic ear or a word of encouragement, it was impossible not to feel uplifted in his presence.
As we remember Bushie today, it is important to celebrate the remarkable inspiration he brought to us all, as captured by this beautiful poem titled "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep," by Mary Elizabeth Frye. In our hearts, Bushie will forever live on.
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
As we try to come to terms with our loss, we should remember that Bushie’s spirit lives on in the countless acts of kindness and numerous lives he has touched. Let us strive to honor his memory by embodying the remarkable qualities of dedication, passion, and empathy that defined him.
Although the pain of losing Bushie is immense, and the void left in our lives irreplaceable, we should take solace in the fact that he lived a life of purpose. His unwavering dedication to his profession, his love for his family and colleagues, and his acts of selflessness will forever be etched in our hearts and minds.
As we part ways today, let us embrace the powerful lessons of Bushie’s life – that life is fleeting and fragile, that kindness and empathy can overcome adversity, and that the pursuit of one's passion can inspire countless others.
Rest in peace, our dear friend and cherished colleague, Bushie Johannes Ledwaba. Your memory shall forever remain a beacon of inspiration and hope to us all. May your spirit continue to guide us, even as we mourn your passing, and may your legacy live on through the transformational impact you've had on our lives and the world around us.
Thank you.
