Dear Betty and boys.
We were reduced to tears to hear of Willie&&single&&s passing. Words cannot describe how your loss has affected us, especially at Christmas, when we look so forward to your great Christmas letters and news. Understandably we didn&&single&&t hear from you this year, and I pray you&&single&&ll all be strong enough some day to keep us abreast again of your terrific family. It was because of you Betty that I decided to write a wee letter this year in all my cards! Please take care and know we&&single&&re thinking of you. God bless to all of you. xo Scott and the girls

Dear Mrs Kroonen and children, I was very sorry to learn of the death of your beloved husband and father , and I send this little note to assure you of my prayers for his eternal rest in his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Be assured also that he has been included in the daily Mass which I celebrate. Please accept my deepest sympathies once again.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Willy&&single&&s passing. He and I were classmates at ag school (CCAT) and though I didn&&single&&t know him well, he always struck me as a real gentleman. The condolences I have read confirm that he was. We will remember him, and you his family, in our prayers.

Dearest Family,
We would like to send you our deepest sympathies to everyone at this very difficult time.
We only met Willy once, at the Kroonen reunion. At that time he made such a open and friendly impression on us. He looked very pleased to see all his family overseas. Pitiful this was the only time I had the opportunity to meet him.
My oldest brother and sister did now him better. They were born also in Canada (2 eldest children of Giel and Mia Kroonen. I am there younger brother). They only could say good things about Willy. The last time he visited the Netherlands he invited us to visit him in Canada. We now regret that we have delayed this so long.
Again we wish you our deepest sympathies with the lost of Willy. We hope you can overcome such difficult times.
Those we love don&&single&&t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
Kind regards,

Dear Betty and Kroonen family,
Yesterday we received the horrible news of the passing away of Willy. He is in our memory as a friendly man with a good sense of humor. We met him at the reunion of the Kroonen family in Wijlre and talked about the life in Canada and the work on the farm.
We want to wish you a lot of strength in these difficult days to be able to deal with this tremendous loss.

Lieve familie in Canada,
Betty, Jeff-Ashley, Greg-Elisabeth en kleindochter Paige, Chris-Jen, gecondoleerd met het grote verlies van jullie man, vader, schoonvader en opa! Hier zijn geen woorden voor. Uiteraard ook condoleances voor Tante Lenie, John en kinderen en Betty Anne-Mark en kinderen. Ook onze condoleances voor mrs Mary Kroekenstoel, Terry-Theressa en Johanna-Dave en kinderen.
Willy blijft in onze herinnering als een vriendelijke en warme man die erg belangstellend was naar zijn familie in Nederland. In 2006 hebben we nog een bezoek van hem, samen met Tante Leny, mogen ervaren. Het was een heel erg fijne avond waar we veel herinneringen hebben opgehaald en waar we, zeker in deze moeilijke tijd, vol warmte aan terug denken! Willy was die avond “goed in vorm”.
Willy was trots op zijn gezin en hij hield heel erg veel van jullie allen! Zijn ogen spraken boekdelen als hij over jullie sprak! In deze moeilijke tijden zal jullie hechte familieband jullie zeker tot steun zijn!
Tante Jo Pulles-van Hulten en kinderen wensen jullie heel erg veel sterkte toe met dit enorme verlies. Wij denken aan jullie!

Wij wensen jullie heel veel sterkte in deze donkere en moeilijke dagen en zeker ook voor de toekomst.

Dear Family,
Yesterday we heard the terribly sad news that Willy had decided that he could not live any longer. We were so sorry to hear this. We only met Willy once, at the Kroonen reunion. At that time he made such a open and friendly impression on us. He seeemed to be so pleased to see all his family oversea. Over a month ago Mariet and Ed told us about their last visit, which was quite alarming. And now Willy has passed away. May you all find the strenght and courage to face these difficult times and may you find comport in all the memories of him. Warm regards Bert and Pim
