My mother, Anna De Young was a sister to her mother Susie. Mom said she was there when Anna Mae was born and heard her first cry.

As a niece, I remember so many good times staying overnight at the farm and the reunions in August. I have so many happy memories of the Talsma family. My heart goes out to you in the loss of a wonderful Christian lady. May you find comfort in God at this times. Jan Pamer (Meekhof)
