lieve familie ,allemaal gecondoleert met de dood van jullie moeder. ONZE JO We zullen haar allemaal heel erg missen.maar zijn blij dat we haar velen malen hebben bezocht in de 20 keren dat wij in New.Zealand waren. ik zorgde altijd dat we zo ongeveer om 17uur bij haar waren voor de happy hour. Ze schilden dan wat aardappelen erbij, en konden we alles weer een beetje bijpraten. We hebben heel veel mooie herinneringen aan deze mooie tijd,maar helaas is dat nu voorbij, Elly en Ik wensen jullie heel veel sterkte om dit grote verdriet te verwerken. we zullen veel aan haar denken. Groeten uit Holland van Elly en Piet.
