Dear Meier family, may God comfort and strenghten all of you in the loss of your wife, mother and grandmother. Gese and me visited the Meiers first time at the end of 1977, when Beatrice and Gladys took us in their car to their home from Calvin. We have so many good rememberings. On my office table there is still after 40 years the little box with three crosses on it, to put in pencils etc. God bless you
Gerrit Jan and Gese Beuker, now Neuenhaus

Dear Meier family,
I felt sorry when I heard that Hermine passed away.
Grateful, I look back to the time I spend with you in Holland years ago and I have good memories of Hermine and all of you.
I remember her as a very kind lady with a strong and upright faith.
My deep sympathy

Death leaves a heartache
no one can heal,
love leaves a memory
no one can steal.

Bea - so sorry to hear about your mom! She was a beautiful woman in many ways. She will be missed. I can remember going to the French Pastry many times (loved the butter creme frosting). Give your Dad a hug from me.
