I sent you a letter in response to your question if I was a relative. I'm not; but I did date your Mother a few times in high school and knew her for over 60 years. I also knew your Dad from Fenwick and from his job. They were two outstanding people. Great, generous friends. You were blessed; Jack Flynn

Liz, Ed and family: Barbara and I send our sincerest condolances on your loss. We only met Pinky once or twice, but she certainly made an impression as a delightful and fun loving woman.

I have only fond memories of Pinky reading "Winnie the Pooh" books to me and making me giggle with delight at her antics - such fun for a little girl! She was a lovely, loving woman - I was proud to call her my godmother. Blessings on you all.

The World is very short of girls like Pinky; loving, humorous, helpful, upbeat
and never complaining. Thanks for so many good memories since 1950.

Pinkie was a favourite and most special friend of the Van Der Bosch family. She was so very kind and had a huge heart which she passed to her beloved children. She would always want to "chat" and was always interested in what others had going on. Generous beyond generous and late beyond late for everything but we loved her for it - it was "pinkie" time. I will always remember her and hold a very special place in my heart for her. My wishes are with Liz, Teddie, Dick and the family.
