Dear Toni, Bill, Kate, Dave and family and Brian and family We are thinking of you at this sad time on the loss of your dear mom and Oma. She was such a strong and gentle presence and always kind and happy to see you! Brian’s tribute to her was very special. Know that the Abel and the Ennis family have fond memories of her and all send their sincere condolences and share in your sorrow Take care always…Sharon
So sorry to hear about this but yet thankful she was able to live a full life. We did not know her in early years but Dad always thought it was great to have someone else at Henley who was Dutch. They were able to converse a little and it was a moment of joy for him. May you find peace and comfort in the memories of wonderful days you shared together with her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember Toos as a calm and quiet person, strong and gentle as she guided her family. My summer babysitting brings back fond memories. May she rest in peace.
Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your mom. We have fond childhood memories spending time around your pool and beautiful family home. We remember your mom as a warm and gentle woman.
My sincere condolences to you, Toni, Kate and family. I remember Toos as a kind and gentle person with a great smile…..
