Such sad news that my wonderful singing teacher Janie has passed away this weekend. A woman in whom taught me a lot and was not only a singing teacher but a very good friend who cared considerably for everyone she taught. Ironic but I think in the next few days to come I’ll watch our duet of ‘Time To Say Goodbye’ in which was such a great experience singing in Italian alongside my teacher. I always felt like double lessons were needed because half our time was spent catching up and gossiping about our week. Will miss you. heart emoticon

Today one of the most important women in life died, i still cant believe that she is gone. She was one of the most purest souls in this world and she was ripped from us but she has gone to an amazing place next to Gods right hand.Janie van den Berg wasn’t only my singing and piano teacher but she was my second mother who taught me how to live. Everyone she came into contact with loved her and she will always have a special place in all our hearts. My heart goes out to her family and we will miss you terribly. I love you lots Janie. R.I.P. ??
