Lieve Familie, Gecondoleerd met het verlies van jullie moeder en grootmoeder. Ik herinner me tante Piny, zoals ze in ons gezin genoemd werd, als een uiterst hartelijke, vrolijke en bevlogen vrouw. De momenten dat ze weer in Nederland was herinner ik me nog heel levendig. Veel sterkte en medeleven gewenst de komende tijd.
