Beste familie,
Wij zijn getroffen door het verlies van jullie moeder.
Toen zij in Friesland bij ons was met vakantie een aantal jaren geleden hebben we van haar gezelschap genoten en van haar enthousiaste verhalen .
In ons hart blijft zij voort leven als een geweldige schoonzus.
Wij wensen jullie met dit verlies veel sterkte.
