To the Devriendt Family~
I have known your dear mother since I moved to Goffstown many years ago and joined the Goffstown Mothers' Club. We worked on several committees together and I must say, she was one of the sweetest, kindest, women I have ever met. She never had a bad word to say about anyone, and was always interested in how everyone else was doing. I am so sorry for your loss. She was the epitomy of what every mother should be. May your Dad and all of you know you had the "best."

Judy and Family,
So sorry to read about the passing of your mother. I want you to know my fondest memory of your mother. At 53 I still tell people she is the one who got me to eat brusselsprouts in the 3rd grade and love them!
Please know you are in my prayers.

Mom,
My heart is broken and there is a big hole left where you should be. Know the person you were and the example you set live on in Dad and the five of us. Courage, strength, love, and compassion were an integral part of you, as were kindness, faith, and a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss you dearly.
Love you much.

We will miss Mrs. Devriendt. She was such a sweet lady, and a very considerate neighbor. She was always there to share their fruits and veggies that they grew. She would drive up the road to bring us her goodies, and always there to send cards to us thru our most trying times.
We will miss her compassion, and sweet smile.
