Lerato passed too soon. She was an architect with a gift for turning empty plots into homes that felt loved. Mother to Karabo (7) and Sandi (4). Wife to Tumelo. Sister, daughter, friend.

Lerato was the most generous architect I ever worked with. The Brixton library was hers — she just made sure everyone else got the credit.

My sister, my best friend. I can't believe you're gone. The kids will know you.

Karabo is in my Grade 2 class. Lerato came to every event. The class made cards for him this week.

We were going to grow old together. I am so sorry, Tums.
