Rita and family, I extend our sincere sympathy to you and all your family in the loss of your mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
To Mr. Zwiers and the entire family;
Please accept our sincerest condolences. It was truly a privilege to have known Mrs. Zwiers for many years. Her confidence in our care was humbling, and her example of how to live, was always a shining light. Hers was a generation of courage and unselfishness; her passing marks a milestone.
To Everett, Rita and Janet, it is always so refreshing to see how the guidance of your parents has influenced you. And even the little things of often getting together to play family games — those were heart-warming stories about meaningful relationships.
I commend you for your faithfulness to your parents.
Especially to Mr. Zwiers, may you find strength and peace in the lonely days ahead. I know you will miss your very dear friend. Sterkte.
