Our mother’s journey through life became a journey of great graces preparing her for a long struggle with cancer. First seeing her home land Holland, Mom and Dad went by bus on a special pilgrimage to Medugorje, Yugoslavia. There Mom “smelt the roses” of our Heavenly Mother Mary. The graces she received carried Mom and us through this difficult time. In her last moments a final blessing was given to our mother. Jesus allowed our Heavenly Mother Mary, to take our mother Margaret, to her eternal rest ing place on the Feast day of the Immaculate Conception. Praise be to God. Goodbye, until we see you again. We love you Mom, Oma ... Your Children and Grandchildren. Tot Ziens. Lieve Greet. Wim. WE LIVE because of you...
