It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of David Lelaka, a bright and beloved Grade 7 learner from our school who tragically passed away yesterday. This loss has left an indelible mark on our close-knit community, and we come together to mourn the departure of a young soul taken from us too soon.
David was more than just a student; he was a friend, a classmate, and a cherished member of our school family. His warm spirit, infectious laughter, and genuine kindness touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. As we grapple with this unexpected and devastating news, we find strength in the memories we shared and the bonds we formed with David.
In honor of David’s memory, we invite all Grade 7 learners for the academic year 2023 to join us at the school on Wednesday, 6th December, at 8:00 AM. This gathering will serve as an opportunity for us to come together as a community to offer support, share our grief, and make arrangements for a memorial service that pays tribute to David’s life.
We understand the profound impact that David’s passing has had on the entire school, and we encourage everyone to attend this meeting to contribute their thoughts and ideas on how we can best remember and celebrate his life. It is in times like these that our unity and collective strength become paramount, as we lean on each other for support and solace.
Additionally, we kindly request that each Grade 7 learner brings along a contribution for David’s family. This gesture, no matter how big or small, will go a long way in alleviating the financial burden during this difficult time and show the Lelaka family that they are not alone in their grief.
As we navigate through these challenging moments, let us remember the positive impact that David had on our lives and strive to honor his memory through our collective compassion, empathy, and support for one another.
