Dear Larry, John, Paul, Lynn, Andrew and your families:
Sending warm and healing thoughts to you all at this time. Mickey was a special lady and thinking of her brings a smile to my face. Although we haven’t visited for some years, I treasure those times we did spend together, either us visiting in Michigan or you making the drive to my parents’ home in Ontario. Mickey will be missed.
Love, Andrea (Demaiter) Scholten (and Hendrik Scholten and family)
