To the Van Dooren family – My deepest sympathy on the passing of Mrs. Van Dooren. When I think back on my childhood, some of my fondest memories are of playing at the farm and, even with her house already full, always feeling welcome there. In my mind&&single&&s eye, I will always see her in her rubber boots heading out to the barn to help with the chores and thinking what a strong woman she was – a trait which she certainly passed on to her daughters. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your former neighbour, Debby (Mero) Noppen, Roosendaal, The Netherlands
