We meet but briefly in life, if we touch each other with stardust that is everything. Unknown. We will always cherish the time, coffee's and chats we had during our recent time in New Zealand with you Tante Anne. She was such a magic Auntie, I still don't know how she bombed around in her standard steering car. Remembering you all and Tante Anne in our minds and in our hearts. Love always from Bill, Kelly & Mackenzie Brouwer, St Catharines

Our condolences to you all. Erna rang me of the news and we recalled her memories of arriving in NZ - The Story of the Fish ornament recognised in the window in Oss/den Bosch by Anne then again in Dundedin Street in the early 60's. An unbelievable coincidence. The start of a wonderful friendship between the van Berkom and Hoetjes families. Thank you also to your mother on making my wedding dress and my sister's too. A very special lady who will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
