Posted on November 5, 2021 by Karima Hoisan

Hi everyone…
Ever since the passing of my creative partner and best friend, Natascha, I have been building her memorial…and now it is finished! For those of you with virtual avatars in Opensim, you can access it here  The Natascha Randt Memorial
For everyone else…I will let this movie, I made speak for itself. Likes and comments on YouTube are very appreciated. I am at peace now… Alhamdulillah.
  Thank you all for your concern and love shown to me, in these very hard times.

      Oh Quaranjavirus…your comment about getting tears is such a beautiful and telling comment. It tells me you are a very sensitive soul (but I already guessed that:) and that you felt the emotion that I felt building and filming her memorial. Thank you for this…🙏❤️

      Thank you Kaushal.. I too hope Nat can perceive the love that was poured into her Memorial and this video it produced. I believe some how, somewhere she knows. It makes me so happy to know this video moved you…You never knew Nat..but through WordPress and me, you now know a little about her. Isn’t that wonderful? Big Hugs…you have been so very supportive of me and I thank you for that too.❤️🙏🤗

    Reblogged this on Joey's Café and commented:
    The Natascha Randt Memorial on Kitely–Virtual Worlds on Demand is now open. A lot of work and love has been poured into this to give everyone an impression of Nat’s creative output and captivating personality. If at all possible, do visit and give yourself a chance to replay all those memories that will stay forever in our hearts.

    Blue Skies, Nat!

      Thank you Joey and thank you too for your beautiful area you made for you and Nat and your collaborations and fun times too. I never knew that Nat was such a good hula dancer either hehe. I am hoping a few brave WordPress members with fast computers, might give it a try to make an avatar and see it all in person. Dale and I took the whole tour last night..Alhamdulillah it’s working beautifully:) Hugs thank you for being such a loved friend of Nat’s and for building your beautiful area on her Memorial. Big Hugss.. Yes, Nat Flew West… The sky always called to her.❤️

    gorgeously rendered, Karima. I’m sure she would have been moved beyond words. I know I am.

    That is the most beautiful tribute I’ve ever seen and experienced. I think experience is the optimal concept for this tribute. The colors, the textures, the light playing with dark, the shadows, and the overall vibrancy I got from this tribute was viscerally gorgeous. The music is also perfect. I love this, Karima. ❤️🌹🙏🤗🥰

      Ahhh Diana, habeebity, thank you so much…You have such a sensitive poetic soul, I am not surprised you were moved by her Memorial, but I am so happy I could convey those emotions in the world and in the film. Hugs you tight, beautiful poet..thank you for being you and all your support in these very sad times. Your words allow me to feel, that I accomplished, what I set out to do. ..It’s really in the end all about love and memorials comfort those left behind….Nat is free…I know this..❤️🤗🙏🌹🦋

    I have watched quite a bit of the tribute and it is lovely and beautifully done Karima. You need to watch in sections as it is a lot to take in even the audience is so incredibly well done. I am amazed at what you created. She must be smiling down watching, and appreciating everything there and remember how much fun you had. What a truly lovely tribute. Sending my love. ❤️❤️🤗

      Hi Joni.i think you maybe are thinking of the tribute I did in September, in front of a realtime audience in avatar form. It was over an hour and I agree with you, it is better to see it in sections. But this is a 5 minutes video I created on the world I built for Nat.. I think it is much better to watch it through as it “tells a story” Big hugss and sending my love back to you ❤️ You can see the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/zHpw01VoiYw

    First Karima I just want you to know that watching this with the incredibly magical music, soft and tender was so relaxing. I felt like I was being transported into a fairy land as the trees colors were more and more shades of sheer loveliness. Things only children dream of. Fireflies, elephants and whales flying by, balls changing color and bouncing by in mid air. Changing dreams and your faces. It reminded me of when I was a child and I wanted to escape I would imagine climbing into a lovely painting. Something beautiful and experiencing what I imagined was past what I could see in the front of the canvas. A fantastical walk down a beautiful life and such detail. Just so incredible. The way you ended the experience with a picture of her as a child and then her taking off in an airplane. I felt like a happy little child getting that wish tonight. It made me cry. In fact it is hard to stop crying because the love shown was precious like a child’s love, innocent and special. I walked through a beautiful painting tonight and experienced a fairies world of beautiful images.
    Thank you for sharing this with us. Sending you big warm hugs and lots of love. ❤️🤗🌹🥰🙏

      Hi Joni, I passed your beautiful comment to the post about the Video, “The Natascha Randt Memorial” Thank you so much for this beautiful, sincere and really inspiring comment. I will post my reply here and also on the original post.. You totally allowed yourself to immerse in this world and that makes me so thrilled..because I do know, most people on WordPress are not going to the trouble to make an avatar and go in…so I was hoping those who saw the movie..and really allowed themselves to watch it, like you did, would feel that they went there, and would conjure up their own colorful memories.
      Thank you for sharing all thoughts that came up when you watched it. I loved that you escaped by climbing into painting… I myself used to climb into flowered wall paper:) and be a small insect among giant flowers//so I really understand.
      These words made me tear up, “It made me cry. In fact it is hard to stop crying because the love shown was precious like a child’s love, innocent and special.” That’s all I wanted to convey, with all the colors and the slow movement, the shifting pastel clouds and the music and and and… that the driving force to make this was love.. A great innocent love, as you sensed like child loves and thinks it can go on forever…Thank you Joni..Hugs you very tight..🤗❤️🙏
