( (my dearest cousins.I am so sorry for all of you. my heart is breaking for my dearest tanta keetchka (at least that is how she tried to teach me to say her name in dutch.)Oh how I loved her,just the fact that she was my mother's sister whom I NEVER knew was a bond that could never be broken and I think everything i knew about my mother I learned from her.
So many wonderful memories with her and your Dad. We had so much fun when we camped a pioneer park, and so many other things we did. All of you have been so lucky. I think you had the best life and parents of all of us cousins.I never remember anger or fighting in your home just fun.Now she finally gets to rest and is with your Dad and Duke. What a happy reunion that was.Juat think what a blessing to have your wonderful Mother for 90 years more than I did.Nothing could keep me away from you and the final good by, but my health.I had surgery in ann arbor 4 weeks ago and they took my spleen,60% of my pancreas and my gall Bladder and I have had the home health care nurse and she has called the Doctor and they will not let me travel.The last time I WAS in Muskegon, I said to Ernie I HAVE to go out and apend some time with Aunt gert as I felt if I didn't I would never see her again. That was the day I said good-by.Remerber how much fun we had with the home made wine. Tom you thought it was bad wine, and gayle you did not think it was much better, and as little as I normally drink aunt gert and I had our 3rd glass and we thought it was tasting pretty good.She said Oh my, even my face feels warm and I said I will probably get stopped by the police driving, but we had fun.You know I feel like I was her special niece and I am the only one crying today, but I know that is not true, she made everyone feel special and I loved her so much.
God be with all of you these trying times and remember I would be there if I could. Please keep in touch.
