Karen and family: sorry to read of your mom’s passing.
She was a wonderful lady and I always enjoyed talking with whenever we met. Usually in zehrs the last few years anyways.
I am sorry I wasn’t aware sooner as I would have been at the wake.
Good thoughts only as she was all about her great family

Karen and family
Our sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. We have many fond memories of Kinie. We remember her years with us at Sky Ranch; our trip to Niagara Falls; our “sleep-over” when the roads were closed, but most of all we remember her warm smile.
Piet Boonstra
We offer our condolances to Karen and her daughter and the whole family Boven-Kolkman. We heard of Kinie’s passing away from Henk and Anneke whom we had just visited this Saturday. We talked about the whole family with love and good memories, also of Kinie. And of course of Bernie.
We wish you a lot of strength!
Love, uncle Piet and Mariamartha
