My deepest felt sympathy at this difficult time. It is with fond memories that I recall all the visits your family made to the farm. Ann could always make everyone feel as if they were the most special person in the world. Her ability to give of herself came so easily.

Beste (ome) Jules
Beste Leonard en Laurie,
Beste Genevieve en William,
Beste Victor en Renee,
en (klein) kinderen,
Vorige week hebben wij het verdrietige nieuws te horen gekregen van (ome) Jules. De afgelopen 3 maanden is het wel raak in de familie 2 zussen en 1 zwager.
Toen Papa en mama ((ome) Nout en (tante) Lies) en wij Leonie en Dion bij jullie waren hebben wij genoten van jullie gastvrijheid. We hebben daar tot op de dag van vandaag nog hele goede en leuke herinneringen aan. (Tante) Ans maakte het ons die dagen heerlijk naar ons zin alsof wij al jaren over de vloer kwamen, niets was haar te veel. Ook bij jouw Genevieve tijdens de verjaardag van je moeder hebben wij het heerlijk gehad. Het lijkt zo kortgeleden maar het is alweer bijna 11 jaar (september 1998).
Ook Onno en Jaap hebben dezelfde nagedachtenis aan hun bezoek bij jullie Moeder en vader
Wij houden je moeder als hartelijke en warme vrouw in onze gedachten te meer ook omdat ze vreselijk veel op mijn vader lijkt.
Wij wensen jullie morgen veel sterke toe en hou vooral je vader goed in de gaten want na 57 jaar huwelijk en dan je levensmaatje moeten missen gaat niet in je koude kleren zitten.
Nogmaals sterkte en graag horen we wat van jullie,
Groeten,
(Ome) Nout en (tante) Lies
Iris en Ruurd
Onno en Jaap
Marco en Bianca

Please accept our deepest sympathies on behalf of the Gauthier family of St Laurent de Gallichan and myself, Marielle.
I will always keep a warm souvenir of your mother and family. How can I ever forget the clothes your mother made for our dolls, the family picnics, the ever present warmness of your home and the general well being that surrounded your family, and so much more?
Life may have separated our families however the souvenirs remain ever present and will never disappear.
Sincerely

Dear Laurie,Len and Emily,
Our sympathies go out to you with the passing of someone so important to your lives. Her memory will live on through her paintings. When we look at the two miniatures we have we think of the kind and gracious women who made them. The skill she had with her brush strokes never fails to amaze us.
You are in our thoughts,
June,Alex and family

lieve familie,
Gecondoleerd met tante Ans, in mijn herinnering een mooie, lieve kunstzinnige vrouw. Het was voor ons, kinderen van haar zus Nel, ook heel bijzonder bij jullie 50- tig jarig huwelijksfeest te zijn geweest!
Ze is nu in de hemel bij haar hollandse familie, dan kunnen ze samen grapjes maken!
Heel veel sterkte toegewenst, liefs, nicht marianne

My condolences to Jules and his family. I have no doubt that Ann is in a much better place today and she is smiling down on her family. When I was younger, I use to love listening to her talk about her familys adventures in their early years. She made you fell welcome, took the time to listen to you and had a zest for life. It was a great pleasure having the family stay over at the farm especially during the holidays the memories are bountiful.

Sharon and I want to offer our heart-felt sympathies to Jules Modderman and his family. We got to know the Moddermans when we moved to Ottawa to work with Farm Credit. Jules and Anna were always great hosts.
Anna had so many skills. Her paintings are treasures and will always be treasured.
Our prayers and thoughts are with Jules and family.

On behalf of the Records Management Institute of Canada I would like to express my deepest sorrow at the passing of Johanna Modderman. We purchased many of her miniature paintings to give as speaker gifts and had people volunteering to speak in order to receive one of the paintings. I visited Mrs. Modderman on many occasions to choose the paintings and enjoyed our conversations. I have quite a number of the paintings myself and will always treasure them. My sympathies and the condolences of the RMI to Mrs. Modderman. Her talent and her legacy as a truly lovely woman will be sorely missed.

I will always remember Mrs. Modderman as a graceful, elegant, caring, gentle and considerate human being.
Johanna was always a gracious hostess. I will fondly remember the dinners and receptions she held with Jules at their Alta Vista home where she seemed to float away effortlessly in the midst of all of her’s and Jules’ guests and her children’s, sometimes boisterous group of friends, (to which I belonged!) and shared a kind word with everyone.
At the MC Golf season opening party, or at Bill and Gen's home or cottage she always took the time to recall a family memory or a Holland story with me and, I believe, we somehow became kindred souls.
Johanna, you spent your life as a class act that will be hard for anyone to emulate. I will sorely miss you. Farewell.

I wish I could take time off of school to pay my tribute to a lovely woman and talented artist, yet unfortunately I am a little behind in my work as it is due to other events that have unfolded. I only hope and pray that one day I can produce such beautiful works as Tante Annes has. She was, and still is an inspiring woman, and her art will keep her spirit alive and touch others lives for many long years to come. My deepest regrets to Ome Jules and my extended family for their loss. She will be missed for she has touched so many peoples lives in her life time, especially mine.

So sorry to hear of your loss.
My Mom and Dad were your friends and you were special to them, particularly when both my Mom and Anna developed Alzheimer's disease.
We are out of the country and will not be there for the funeral, but we have some of her oil paintings to remember her by.
May God bless you on this time of sorrow.

I want to offer my deepest sympathies to Jules Modderman and his family. I worked with Jules Modderman at Farm Credit Corporation and came to know Joanne through Jules. She was a wonderful, warm and friendly person with beautiful artistic talent. It was an honour knowing her and I know she will be missed. My prayers and thoughts are with Jules and his family.

I've known Mrs Modderman all my life, literally as she and her husband Jules have been close friends of my parents since 1951. I remember her as a very lovely, friendly, generous, person ..always with a smile on her face. She was also talented in many areas such as sewing, knitting, cooking and she was a wonderful artist as well. I am proud to say I own many of her paintings, which I have always and will always treasure.
I'd like to thanks her for her years of friendship with our family. It was a sad day when we learned of her disease....it affects so many families today. I thank God her suffering has come to an end and I rejoice in the person she was. She will be missed by so many.
