I will never forget Ouma. She was always full of laughter. I was 11 years old when I went to One Way Home. One day I was homesick, so she let me stay home from school and go with her and Oupa to Durban to do a large shopping trip. It wasn't long until Ouma had me laughing, and I enjoyed spending the day with them. Ouma created a fun and loving home away from home for all of us missionary kids. She was a true blessing from the LORD! My prayers are with her family.

It was such a pleasure working with Mable at Lifeline Care Center. She was a shining light for workers & clients alike! She got a lot of pleasure in knowing that she went to high school with my Mom & Dad.

I was one of the teenagers at The One Way Home when Oupa and Ouma were the house parents. They were the classic Ward and June Cleaver and made boarding school home away from home.

Ouma always wore dresses with panyhose even in summer, and she always had an apron on. Her hair was always done. She was extremely organized and neat and tidy, and she always had a handwritten To Do list that she carried around with her.

One time I needed an excuse note for school for being absent the previous day, so I knocked on Oupa's and Ouma's bedroom door. Ouma let me in, and Oupa was propped up with pillows in bed because he was ill. Their bed was half made, made up perfectly on Ouma's side, despite Oupa still being in bed. It was just a few moments that was permanently written on my memory. They were the picture perfect Ward and June Cleaver, only older.

They both brought chatter and laughter to the dining-room table. For our birthdays, Ouma would fix our favorite dishes. Her homemade sweet pickles were a favorite of mine, and they never lasted long.

Every time my bike had a flat tire, Oupa cheerfully repaired my flat. I never walked to school on his watch. And when one of my earrings accidentally went down the bathroom sink, he put on his plummer's hat and came to my rescue.

They were so perfect for The One Way Home. God knew we needed them. They will forever be burned into my memory.

Ouma looks fabulous in her picture; and she still has that soft, sweet spirit in her countenance. She is truly a classy and Godly lady. I will never forget her or Oupa.

I'm praying for you, Uncle and Auntie Wardlaw. I know you'll see her again, but it's her absence that is most painful.

My deepest sympathies,
Lorrie

I had the privilege of teaching Sunday school with Mable at College Church for a room full of 3 year old children. She was such a dynamic, caring and loving woman. I had my child with Down Syndrome in the classroom with us. She was just an inspiration to me at that time in my life. I have never forgotten that year with her.
