Good news,I received yesterday evening a mail from Lucy
Thanks again Lesego for your help :thumbs_up:

I'm surprised too and don't understand why we can't say "In the memory of " if it's a memorial bench...
Afraid Kruger becomes a huge memorial :hmz:

As Shakespeare said "A name, what is a name" :doh:

will just have to be inventive/creative/grammatically correct - and say/mean/describe the same thing!

In memory of / Remembering/ honouring/ never forgotten/with thoughts of/ thinking of

Thanks Lion Queen, appreciated, if necessary I will esculate (like I did the initial enquires :twisted:

)but I have personally decided to ask all his nearest and dearest to come up with something original and we will put it to the vote. My favourite so far is Listen to the Fish Eagle with his name and dates

After a few weeks I got a reply from a very friendly lady called Nelisiwe, so my memorial bench is also under way... :dance:

Now the we just have to decide what to put on the plaque :think:

Why not get creative and humorous.

How about "If you sit on this bench and feel somebody try to push you off, it could be XXXX who loved this area".

After all, anyone who gets out of their car near Skukuza could well be haunted by a ghost with a serious comb-over. My dad - Jerry Hattrick. :whistle:
