I am sorry to see my nephew pass away. This is your nephew from the Netherlands. I am the son of Jaap Hauwert. We have seen this happening so often in the Hauwert family due to some bad genes.
This has been researched by a doctor in Amsterdam.
I would appreciate if through this this occasion we can establish contacts.
Best rgds

Just wanted to pass on our sincere condolences with regards to the loss of a very gentle quiet man who always had a twinkle in his eye. Nick was a man who will not be forgotten as his love for his family and friends will live on forever.

Monique- So sorry to hear of your loss. I never knew Nick and I only know you via a “chat line” through work, but I know the loving and caring work you do with our clients and they are so blessed to have you in their lives. You are known by the work you do and by being a doer of the Word. You have set a good example and I believe I know you well. Your loss is great here on earth but the love you have for Nick remains strong spiritually and will only get stronger. He lives in the hearts of your children, family and friends. His light will shine forever.

We were shocked to hear of the sudden passing of a very special man. I remember the first Bible studies where we attended together with Nick, watched as a seed germinated and began to grow. We remember how that seed continued to grow and bear fruit as he was surrounded by good people who enveloped him with God’s love.
Those friends can rejoice to know that they have played a large part in the joy he must be experiencing right now.
We all look forward to seeing him again, but our heart aches for those who are hurting with loneliness and we will be praying..
Ernie & Jean McMillan
