Dear Alda, we are all very sad to hear of Harry’s passing - what a wonderful life the two of you have created together as Opa and Oma to one of the most loving and fun families we have been lucky to know. We have great memories of when you both used to come to Auckland, Harry would be down on the floor with the toddlers or in the backyard playing with the kids, whilst you were busy in the kitchen baking or helping Anne-Marie with the endless washing pile! Such wonderful grandparents and always with smiles and laughter - that sense of fun passed onto your children. Love and hugs to you and all of the Donkers extended family from Michele, Andrew, Liv and Laura xx
