Safe travels Oma. Till we meet again ♥
Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are safe and happy.
When I think of my aunt Wies, vague warm memories of about fifty years ago come up. You came to the Netherlands to visit the families. On an afternoon you also visited my family. My brother Armand – who unfortunately past away 5 years ago – received from aunt Wies - who was his godmother - a “Kooky Canooky” pyama. I remember her as a sweet and friendly aunt. Wish you a lot of strength to cope with your loss. Warm greetings.
Oom Wil, Mary en Nick, ik heb hele fijne herinneringen aan deze lieve, hartelijke vrouw, die van mij hield als kind en oprecht belangstelling had voor wie ik was. Ik sluit me aan bij de wijze waarop jullie je haar herinneren. Lieve groet, Liesbeth
Gecondoleerd met het verlies van tante Wies. Sterkte samen.
