Words cannot express what I am feeling. Winnie, you were always wonderful to me and those are the things that I remember…oh, and finally getting the macaroni and cheese recipe! Rest, dear lady. You will be missed
We knew that you were sick, but it was shocking to hear that you were gone to heaven so soon. I’m glad that we spoke to each other. You said at that time that you find it difficult to live without my Uncle Theo. You are now with him, Aunt Winnie. I’m happy about that. I wish my cousins very much love and strength.
Big hugs and kisses
Astrid, Werner and Kids
