Condolences
Dear Yuri and family:
Please accept my condolences on the loss of your wife and mother. I cannot know your grief and sorrow in losing Jennet.
I remember Jennet from years ago when I lived in Jennet's family before I was married. Jennet would have been about 21 years old at the time while I was around 25 years old.
I remember her infectious laugh. It would get me into "stitches'. I remember sitting out in the back garden with the whole family, talking and laughing all the while overlooking Oom Bill's bean garden and Tante Corry's raspberry bushes, all so lush and green. I remember sitting around the kitchen table drinking coffee mixed with chocolate while all of us would regale each other with our day's events. Eating supper together was always such a noisy affair, with all of us trying to talk at the same time. On Sundays, we would walk to church, just around the corner. I will always remember those times fondly.
I pray that God will be ever present during this difficult time and that He will sustain you and give you the peace that passes all understanding. I know that I will see her in heaven one day.

Dear Jurjen, Evan, Emilie, Jeremy and Carl:
We are very sorry to hear of the loss of Jannet, and we send our sympathies. We were remincising about attending your wedding, which doesn't seem that many years ago, on a cold weekend in Toronto. We pray that the precious memories of a loving wife and mother, and the knowledge that she is with her Saviour will bring you much comfort.
Clarence ( Jannet's cousin) and Pauline Schuurman
