To all the kids and grandchildren from Geertje, I am not only writing this for ourselves but also for my Mom Geertje de Boer from the Netherlands. My Mom is a first cousin to your mom. She cannot express herself in english therefore I do it for her. We want to wish you all our deepest sympathies with the loss of your Mom, Mother in law, gramma. By the sounds of it she passed away peacefully so without suffering. Thank the Lord for that. We want to wish you God's strength tomorrow at the funeral and also we will pray for all of you. God bless!! Much love Geert and Alice Hofstra (and Geertje de Boer) Drachten, the Netherlands
