'Tontel' is something like kindling or a wick that burns easily.

You have touched us and left us better for having known you - even if it was only briefly.

For grabbing the moment and living the day It's been way too early that you were taken away

Tonteldoos is a tinder box. Old way of lighting things using a striker and a piece of flint with some dry tinder.

Never heard of just Tontel as far as I know it does not exist in Afrikaans

But good to notice there was some exchange of wisdom and things were learnt   ;)
