Dear Lambert,
So sorry about your loss.
Can you or someone please tell me if Sjoukje’s sister-in-law Corrie Branderhorst née Lafeber (Townsend ON) is still alive?
She is a dear friend of my mom, Janny van Dok-Delver from Den Helder the Netherlands, who has not heard from her since Corry’s birthday earlier this year 2017.
Many thanks,
Annette van Dok

Condolence from Annette Van Dok on December 21st, 2017 1:53 PM

Please ignore earlier message Bert, my mom Janny who just turned 90 just talked to Corrie on the phone. Happy to hear her voice, to know she’s still alive after another stay in the hospital.
And she will call her once again in a week from now, still amazed about what you can do with internet and computers. Mom remembers her stay (in 2003?) with Sjoukje and Bert vividly.
