    Dear Marieke and Shenny ,

    Thinking of you at this very sad time. I always thought your mama look so elegant all the time…I always picture her with pearls on! Another fond memory I have of her is when I would sleep over and she made fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning . It was such a treat.
    You have both been on my mind these past few days.
    Love Amy

  • Heather & Chad Cooke says:

    Marieke, Shenny and family,

    So sorry to hear of your Moms passing. I always think of her as one of the best moms I have ever known! Always present, supportive and kind. I’ll never forget how much fun we had at her 70th birthday party.
    So many memories to cherish always. Know that our hearts are with you at this difficult time. Chad, Heather and Courtney.

  • Michelle Doyle (Hildebrandt) says:

    Marieke and Shenny, I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your beautiful mum. I remember being at your home constantly; drinking gallons of iced tea in the summer and tea in the winter. I will always remember your mom with a twinkle in her eye and a smile as she would listen to us girls chatter on. We were always well fed and hydrated at her house and we were never allowed to leave without hugs and kisses. She taught me the best way to make a grilled cheese sandwich is with mayonnaise. I can’t imagine your heart break but I take comfort in knowing is finally able to be with her husband and dear son. xoxo
