I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. Elsie and Mike were friends of my parents (Arie and Corrie). They enjoyed spending time with them at Lake Huron and sailing in their younger years. It was a pleasure knowing your parents.

Our thoughts are with the family. We have fond memories of Thanksgiving dinners together in the 70’s and later.
Mike and Elsie helped us out when we first came to Canada and sometimes would look after our boys as if they were part of their own family when needed.
