We know that Ans is going to have a good time up there just like she did down here.She was a remarkable woman full of life never complaining always ready to go.We could hardly keep up with her,she never walked always ran!I will miss her "olie bollen and "sausijse broodjes" wich she had plenty of on New Years day.We will never forget her she will always be on my mind.

Dear Ans,
It was a pleasure to know you. What fun and laughter you brought into everyone's life. I'll never forget when I organized a Dutch sinter Klaas event how you immediately wanted to be a Zwarte Piet. Together we had such fun, with you jumping up and down throwing "pepernoten" at all the ladies. Always a young spirit. Never expected you to go.
Dear family of Ans. What a wonderful lady, mum, granny your Ans was. Our sincere sympathy with your loss.
