    Our Condolences to you all. Aunt Aart was a nice lady and we had never a dull moment with her. She learned me to play big domino&&single&&s. A fantastic game for having a good talk and relax. Everytime we played and will play she surely will be in our mind. With Jesus you will find the strength and help with the processing of this great loss.
