I only have a couple of remembrances of being with "cousin" Eddie & Flo. Once as a child visiting with my Mom, Alice ( White ) ten Hoeve ( Eddie's cousin ) and my Dad, Jan. The only real remembrance of the visit though was baby Martin running around in a diaper eating a cookie and repeating the phrase "oh-oh!" Then much much later in 1986 when they dropped in by Mom & Dad to say "Hi" and met my then fiancee Joan.
2011 has been a rough year, I lost Dad in April and then Mom in September. I just want to offer my condolences and my sincere wish for a better - happier new year.
