Dear Mary and Family, We were very saddened to hear of your mother's passing. She was a great lady and such an important part of our "old" neighbourhood. We truly appreciate the fact that she remained close to my mother, especially these past few years. They were geat friends and very supportive of one another. May you find strength in God and in one another during this difficult time. With sincere sympathy, The McInnis Family

Dear Mary and the Kerkhof Family Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of your mother, Oma and great Oma, Reina. Our families were very close in the early 50's thru 70's as many of the Dutch stuck together in those formative and difficult days. I, Paul remember the time I babysat the two youngest boys while our parents attended a New Year event! My father and I attended your dad's service some years ago now. Thank you for the friendship of those years dear Reina and Joe......may God grant you peace and may you have joy in her and their memories. Sincerely Martina, Paul and Dolly Timmerman and families.

Dear Kerkhof family - please accept our condolences on the loss of you mother and your oma. We were neighbours of Reina for several years and enjoyed her wonderful smile and her kindness while she was living here on River Road. She used to walk on the road past our house and stop and have a chat with us. I know that you will all miss her very much and know that her suffering has ended. Peace and comfort be with all of you who are surving her.
