Dear Harry and Marielle,
We feel very sorry for you both about the lost of your mother.
This morning I visit my dad and mom in Emmen. They heard the news about the death of your mother.
There is some confusion about this news by the family because they didn’t receive any message, nobody of the family.
Regards,
Riet Geerts-Rooseboom

Phil de Haan
She always had a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. A nice lady, but not to be messed with either. Thanks for all of the memories Mrs. Rooseboom. My condolences to the kids. I hope you’re able to celebrate her life in true Rooseboom fashion: lots of laughs and maybe a little mayhem too. :-)
