Carl van Dyk

Dear Di

I chatted to Clive last night and he said that you have been flooded by offers for help from all over. I want you to know that it is not only for Carlo’s memory. The people I have spoken to are just so inspired by your strength and the way you have got through these last 4 1/2 months. We loved him dearly as he was what you would call the perfect mate, but you were his perfect mate as well, and we will always be here for you. I sincerely wish that we had got to know you guys a lot earlier. Please take people up on their offers if you need to, as they are genuine. Carlo had a really genuine bunch of mates and they are the type of people that will always be there for you. I’ve been friends with Clive for 9 years, and nothing is ever too much for him as well. My offer to you to come to Port Alfred whenever you want stands and our house is always open to you. Port Alfred is a great place to unwind.

You continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Love

Arthur Manning
