To all Riet’s family & friends;

Our sincere sympathy in the loss of your dear Mother, Oma and all Riet was to so many. What a wonderful, fun-loving lady. Always smiling and very kind. She was always very welcoming and hospitable. Riet and Harry were highly respected and valued customers for many years. I had several enjoyable visits at their kitchen table. It was always a pleasure to bump into them around the community and chat as well. Harry was the “stand up comic” and Riet was the “straight man (woman)” of the duo. They were a great team in so many ways. I’m sure It will give you all comfort to know that they are now reunited. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

We shared long conversations over coffee and sweets of course , as we planned church fund raisers.I remember my favourite , was the building of a home that we raffled.Vince ,you taught me how to put on trim !!Riet was a active CWL member of Precious Blood Church and we acknowledged her wisdom as a active parishioner .

Dear Frank, Vincent, Henri, Marlene, Andrew, Mark and dear families,
Our sincere condolences on the loss of your mother (in law) and (great-)grandmother.
We remember Aunt Riet as a strong, intelligent, and warm woman.
Emigrating back then wasn’t easy. Together with Uncle Harrie, she built a future for their family in Canada. They were happy there, but their ties to the Netherlands remained. Through letter writing, phone calls and FaceTime, the siblings kept each other updated.
Last year, she and Marlene visited the Netherlands on her beloved Rozenpas. Her Dutch family was very much looking forward to this visit and talked about it for a long time afterwards.
She will be deeply missed.
We wish you much strength.
Love,
Bertus, Annie,
