Dear Mary, Jim and families,
Lieve Mary en Jim en gezinnen,
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother, mother-in-law and grandmother.
Your mother, our ‘tante Dina’, was a wonderful aunt to us. We were happy that she was married to ‘ome Sjef’! He couldn’t have had a better wife. I (Ria) have the best memories of my long stay at your Avon-home in the summer of 1977. In these 10 weeks I spent a lot of time together with your mam. I got to know her then as a woman who had her own wisdom and a very big and devoted heart for her husband and children. She was a caring woman of great solidarity. She was a strong woman. And: She made the best lemon pie ever!
Dear Mary and Jim, our thoughts are with you these days. Lots of strength and love for the coming days, also on behalf of my brother Rob and my sister Monique (from 'ome Sjaak'),
warmly embraced,
Ria
