Dear family,
Ed Van Rossen told us last week that your mother is passed away. Here our heartfelt sympathies at the loss of your mother. Much strength.
In 1968 we were visiting our family in the USA, even your parents (Tansken and Dick). We always keep good memories of our family in the USA. Your mother is my cousin. (Jacqueline). Her father was my father's younger stepbrother. Uncle Arthur called my father, "our baby". Will you also bring our participation to Vicky and her family.
The family from Belgium. Jacqueline and Kamiel Vandevelde-Wachtelaer, Steenweg 63, 9473 Welle. Phonenumber : 00 32 53 41 32 51

We had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful lady while at one of her great, great, grandchildren's birthday partys. All I can say is that she is as beautiful inside as she is outside. I am grateful to have met her. I know we will meet again. Until then...
Love, The Halls

My name is Eugene F. Groesbeck and although I never knew your mother, I noted her passing when reading the paper recently. I spoke to my father, Charles L. Groesbeck, and he said that he was not familiar with your branch of the family either and he is the same age as your mother was. I'm sure we're related some how. In any event, from reading your mother's obituary and looking at the photo album I can tell she was a great lady who was surrounded by family and friends who loved her. My condolences on her passing.

Dear Carol Denise and Diane, I am Jim Kowalski's sister and I am sorry for your loss. My mind is full of memories of your mom back in the 60s and 70s when Denise and I would swim in the pool, and then run into the living room and sit on the couches with our bathing suits sticking to the plastic coated couches, while the giant orgran was being played! I have great memories of your mom and I am keeping Hortie and your whole family in my prayers. God bless you during this time and always, with love, Kathy (Kowalski) Fink

Diane, Carol & Denise & Families,
My heart is heavy at the loss of Mom (My Mom Groesbeck). I do know she's in a better place and filled with peace and joy.
I have only loving memories of Mom, even when she'd be upset with us. She always did it out of love.
I and my family will be holding all of you in prayer as Our Father in heaven holds you in the palm of his hand.
I love you all for much,
Mary (Holsbeke) Garnham
