Jan Jansen
Judy, Jenny, Lisa, Cathy (Trieneke), John (Jan), dear family,
My sincere condolences on the passing of Pat (Pieternel).
I am Jan, son of uncle Koos, and oldest cousin of the Jansen family, remember well that uncle John (Joan) and aunt Nel (Pieta), Pat and Cathy (as a baby) emigrated to Canada. It had a great impact on the family in Hilvarenbeek (Jansen and Loyens).
The first years there was only contact via airmail letters. This showed that life was very hard for them. But they succeeded in building a large butcher business in Ilderton.
After about 10 years, uncle Joan and aunt Pieta came over from Canada for the first time. That was a great celebration, especially for grandpa Jan Jansen, who lived above our grocery shop.
Later, flying became more accessible and uncle Joan, aunt Pieta and also the cousins came to the Netherlands more often. A number of family members also went to Canada from the Netherlands.
Best regards, much strength and I hope you find comfort in good memories of Pat.

Corine van Raak-Jansen
Beste familie,
Wij wensen jullie heel veel sterkte bij het afscheid van “Pat”. Voor mij nog steeds
“Pieternel”. Als jongste van alle neven en nichten Jansen toentertijd, heb ik als peutertje Oom Janus met zijn gezin naar Schiphol gebracht. Canada was heel ver weg en we dachten, dat we de familie nooit meer zouden zien. Gelukkig was het afscheid toen niet eeuwig, maar nu nemen we echt afscheid van Pieternel. Mooie herinneringen blijven voortleven.
Lieve groeten, als kind Trieneke Jansen, nu Corine van Raak-Jansen getrouwd met Joop van Raak

Dear Judy, Jenny, Lisa, Cathy, John and the extended Jansen family,
Our deepest condolences on the passing of your partner, mother, sister and aunt. Pat was ALWAYS a very kind loving person who welcomed everyone into her home. She left us all with some great memories to hang onto.
My heart is heavy saying a final goodbye to Pat who has been a part of my life since I was a teenager. We had so many great times together over the years vacationing in her Cougar car which she was so proud of….none of us had our own car, so this was something special. Those times we spent bombing around the countryside and going to dances will be some of my fondest memories. She will be missed by all who knew her. Rest in Peace dear friend.
Pat and Ben Goertz
