Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have never met a more kindhearted soul in my life than your mother. Her generousity and self -giving of herself and the shelter and vegtables she grew and gave to the needy especially upon coming to Canada for all the needy Dutch families who had so little was an insperation to all. I personally considered her my second mother and will miss her dearly. May God give you all comfort and know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you all even though I will not be there in person since I no longer drive and live so far away.
