    Beste neven en nichten,
    Gecondoleerd met het verlies van jullie moeder en oma.
    3 jaar geleden heb ik haar nog ontmoet en me verbaast over haar geestelijke- en lichamelijke gezondheid.
    Ik denk dat zij zeker in de eerste jaren in Canada het moeilijk heeft gehad, zo ver van haar tweelingzus en haar familie. Ik hoop dat jullie mooie herinneringen aan haar blijven houden.
    Groetjes
    Joke Karsten (dochter van Gert en Jopie uit De Weere.

    Beste neven en nichten.Gecondoleerd met het verlies van jullie moeder en oma.
    Ik heb jullie moeder 3 jaar geleden nog gezien en verbaasde mij erover hoe fit zij toen nog was.
    Zij heeft zeker geen makkelijk leven gehad, zeker in de beginjaren toen ze zover van haar tweelingzus en andere familieleden af woonde.
    Ik hoop dat jullie de mooie herinneringen aan haar blijven koesteren.
    Sterkte.
    Joke karsten en George Freijsen. Dochter van Jopie en Gert uit De Weere.

    Nieces,nephews and grandchildren of my aunt Tiny.
    I give all of you the best wishes.

    Two years ago I
    have met your mother and I was surprised to see how good she was while she had an age of 90.
    You all have had a good mother for a very long time.
    I wish you all the best and hope will remember her in good times.

    I am the son of her sister Riet and I remember the hospitality of her when I visited them in Canada 40 years ago . She was a simple old fashioned woman with a good heart and so I will remember her

    Wij leven vanuit Nederland met de hele familie mee!
    In 1998 zijn we bij haar op bezoek geweest. Wij herinneren ons haar als een gastvrije, lieve, opgewekte vrouw.
    Haar leven zal niet altijd makkelijk zijn geweest, zo ver van haar dierbare familie, met name haar tweelingzus Ina. De contacten verliepen een lange periode grotendeels per brief. Gelukkig is ze in latere jaren nog vele malen, samen met jullie vader, en later alleen naar de familie gereisd. Ook kreeg ze bezoek uit Nederland. Heel veel sterkte de komende tijd!

    Dear Cathy,
    Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your mother.
    We only met a few years ago. I immediatly sensed she was a special lady, to make a life for her husband and herself she left Holland to immigrate to Canada after the second WW. You have to be very determent to undertake that.
    It was so nice to see her enjoy Christmas last year, seeing her enjoy her family.
    My heart goes out for you Cathy, I know how much you loved your mom.
    Our condolences to you and Jeff.
    Sincerly Huub and Liz

    Dear Family of Tini,

    I was sad to hear of Tiniโ€™s passing. She was a great lady; always friendly, talkative and interested. Tini lived a long life and was a hard worker. She both loved you and was proud of you. My sympathies and prayers as you celebrate your dear motherโ€™s life.
