Condolence from Thea Sas- Duenk on October 21st, 2025 2:53 PM

Beste familieleden,

Van harte gecondoleerd met het verlies van jullie lieve moeder, schoonmoeder en oma. Tante Annie blijft in mijn herinnering als een heel vriendelijk en lief mens met een mooie glimlach op haar gezicht. Uit de verhalen van mijn vader Theo Duenk hoorde ik dat ze altijd erg gastvrij was als hij (en andere familieleden Duenk) bij haar en oom Willy thuis logeerden tijdens de vakanties in Canada. Samen hebben ze veel plezierige tijden doorgebracht. Nu heeft tante Annie haar welverdiende rust gevonden. Namens de familie Theo Duenk uit Bladel veel sterkte en de hartelijke groeten.

Condolence from Gord Duncan on November 17th, 2025 12:50 PM

As a volunteer with VON I have many happy memories of time spent with Bill and Anna. My sympathy to members of the Duenk family. Blessings.
