So very sorry for your loss. Surely with the love of a devoted wife such as you, his life was blessed. Some people live a very long life without knowing that kind of love. Praying for your comfort. So very sorry.
Accept my deepest condolences 💐 You are very Brave making this video and he will be very proud of you. Marriage of 15 years so I can’t imagine how you must be feeling right now but I know that God doesn’t let his people down so he will see you though it all! More blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
I'm so sorry for your loss. God's love, peace, strength, and comfort stay with you. My spouse passed several years ago. Take one day at a time.. God bless.
My heart goes out to you and your family. Praying God gives you strength. If you desire to continue the journey your husband started here I’ll be here with you. You are taking the right steps so far I think. Sharing the things he started and completing them may give you a sense of him still being with you and a sense of fulfillment. Im soooo sorry. May the God of all comfort give wrap you in His loving arms.
Tessera, may God comfort, strengthen and support you. I pray that your memories of your husband will make you smile even if there are tears on your face. It will not be easy but God is with you every step of the way - even on those days you do not feel like coming out of bed. Hugs from here...🤗
Dear Tessera, making this video must have been very very difficult for you, yet you did it. Although I am more or less a stranger to you and therefore it may sound weird, I still will say it: I am proud of you! Because you have shown courage in this and it's beautiful to see how much you and Gert loved each other and that you ( of course!)want to keep all the great memories alive. So keep sharing about Gert and you. On the other hand don't feel pressure or an obligation to continue with what Gert did and step in his footsteps with his aplogetic ministry. Unless it is your own desire of course. But God has given you and Gert some same and some different gifts and talents. To share with the world for His glory. Gert will never be forgotten by the people that loved him, you don't have to worry about that. I hope that you are surrounded with family and friends that you can lean on as much as you need that. And above all on God , the God that became so much more real to you through Gert. And Who is always available for His children in the time of need. ( Psalm 46:1-2,) I could not only watch this video and see your sadness, I felt that I had to say this, hope you don't mind. Greetings and blessings.
Jon, Gert spoke about you. He liked you and your channel. I believe he mentioned you had also encouraged him and left comments on his videos. Thank you for that. I appreciate it.
This both breaks and warms my heart. You show so much love and his message will live on forever. Not only through you but the video's and the people he affected. I believe he left a great mark on everyone he touched. He impressed me aswell even though I don't personally know the man and neither am I a man of faith. He still compelled me. I'm wishing you all the best and you know how to reach out to me always. So brave of you to share and great respect to you and Gert
Het spijt me zo te horen van het overlijden van uw man. Ik heb te maken gehad met echtscheidingen, wat op zich al een soort dood was omdat mijn ex-man mijn beste vriend was. Alles wat ik je kan zeggen is om in de armen van Abba te kruipen en je door de Heilige Geest te laten troosten terwijl je rouwt om dit ongelooflijke verlies. Als je iets nodig hebt, neem dan contact met me op. Ik ben op Aruba. Ik spreek Engels. Ik heb dit in het Nederlands geschreven omdat ik zie dat je in Nederland bent.
Dank je wel, ik kan zowel Nederlands als Engels. Gert was Zuid-Afrikaans en ik ben half Americaans. In Amerika geboren ook. Ik heb vaak het gevoel dat Gert elk moment kan binnenlopen in huis.
So sorry for your loss. Are you in South Africa? I live in Pretoria, if you need any help let me know. As some have suggested, this channel is a good memorabilia for him. Blessing from the Christian UA-camrs group.🙏🏾 Be still and know that He is God.
Thank you, Gert was born in South Africa and lived there until he was 18. He had been living in the Netherlands ever since. I was born in America and have been living in the Netherlands since I was 9, we met here. Thanks for your offer. I went with Gert to South Africa 3 times. South Africa has a warm and special place in my heart.
I'm sorry for your loss. God bless you. I wonder if you believe that God knew the time and day and how your husband would pass. I think it's safe to say that God was not surprised as in the sense that nothing can catch Him off guard as He is omniscient. However, God is also omnipotent - He is all powerful and He could have prevented your husband from passing, or in this case, I believe God allowed it to happen. I don't want to debate you on this point at all. I know you are mourning, but I thought perhaps this could be a point of comfort and not a point of conflict. Why can't we say it was God's will in this sense: God didn't desire for your husband to suffer and die, but it was God's will in the sense that He allowed it. For instance, was it God's will for His Son to be tortured and crucified on the cross? This was the greatest act of evil in human history - to crucify the sinless Son of God. God does not desire to see His Son tortured and killed but nevertheless, it was ultimately God's will. It was God's plan of redemption unfolding - He allowed it to happen, He let it happen, He decreed it happen. And nothing could have stopped this from happening, not the devil, not human free will, not natural circumstances. I comfort in this: God is in control, He is sovereign, and we can trust Him not matter what comes our way. Perhaps your husband did not die out of chance or because he had bad luck or because life is simply unfair. I exhort you to reflect more on this and perhaps you can find some more comfort and encouragement, that death and evil is not God's rival or His equal. God stands above it all as He holds all authority under heaven and on earth. That mighty and truly omnipotent God is with you and He is for you. He is truly working all things together for your good (Rom 8:28) because He actually have all the power and control to do so and sustain you. God bless you sister.
Thank you, yes God is not caught off guard, I am however. Gert and I had so many plans for doing work for God and spreading the gospel. I don't think I could do not even the tiniest amount of that without Gert. Right now it looks like I will just have to survive and struggle. But I will keep trusting God
So sorry for your loss
May the Lord strengthen you

This was hard for me to watch, as his mother, I also want to share him with others.. A sad video but a beautiful one.
May God comfort and strengthen you and your family ma'am. This is not easy but the God of all comfort is always there for you.
Thank you, I knew you would appreciate me sharing more of Gert. He was one of the best men in the world.
Sorry for the lost, praying for you.
