</a>></span><br>Subject: <span>about my grantmother - message from INGMAR<br><br></span><div><font face="Arial" size="2">Yesterday afternoon, Sunday January 15, 2007, my
Grantmother passed away with her beloved ones around her. May she rest in peace.
I was there myself, together with my dad, two aunts and the husband of one of my
aunts. She was 87 years old. I tell this here because of her contribution to the
Anniversary site, see below. I do not feel very sad, Oma had a beautiful rich
life with many children and grantchildren, a great religious faith and without
serious illness. To me, she was a warm, creative, sweet and ever understanding
woman, always optimistic and caring. We'll miss her but we're happy that she
found peace now. Ingmar </font></div>

LL-L 'Anniversary' 2006.12.15 (05) [E]<br>><br>>Johanna Geertruida
Roerdinkholder-Hesselink, my grantmother did the<br>>translation of the Wren
story in the Low Saxon dialect of our home town<br>>Wenters (in
Dutch:Winterswijk, region De Achterhoek, province of
Gelder-<br>>land/Guelders, The
Netherlands):<br>><br>><a href="http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/achterhooks.php">http://www.lowlands-l.net/anniversary/achterhooks.php</a><br>><br>>She's
not well at all lately. Last year she had to leave the house where<br>>she
lived more than fourty years, because of her health. This Summer she<br>>was
in hospital a few weeks, and stayed at a special "Care Farm" a couple<br>>of
months after. Now she moved to a nursing-home, but it's worsening
every<br>>week. We don't know how long she will be able to go on like
this...<br>><br>>I'll keep you informed.<br>><br>>Kind
regards<br>>Ingmar

Anniversary<br>><br>>Dear Ingmar,<br>><br>>Thank you for informing
us about your grandmother's condition. I am sad to<br>>hear
it.<br>><br>>On behalf of all Lowlanders -- though I encourage individuals
to contact you<br>>privately -- I wish your oma, you and your entire family
what in Dutch you<br>>appropriately call sterkte (strength) on these
occasions.<br>><br>>Undoubtedly like many other Lowlanders, I have been
through this myself, and<br>>I know how hard it can be, because grandmothers
tend to inhabit very special<br>>places in our hearts.<br>><br>>If
possible, please tell your grandmother how much we appreciate
her<br>>participation in our project. With private mail I'll send you a
certificate<br>>of appreciation for her and for Barbara each. I have
begun to send these<br>>out to what I call "guest contributers" (i.e.,
non-members that helped with<br>>the project) and hope to eventually cover
everyone.<br>><br>>To you, Barbara and the kids I send my
love.<br>><br>>Yours,<br>>Reinhard/Ron<br><br>----------<br><br></font><font face="Arial" size="2">From: R. F. Hahn <<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>>

Anniversary<br><br>Dear Ingmar,<br><br>As I told you yesterday when I received the news, I feel very sorry about your loss, knowing full well how important grandmothers tend to be and how much you loved yours. I am sure her spirit and influence will remain with you for a long time.
<br><br>I am posting this only today because I had received your notice as private mail and had to wait for your permission to post it.<br><br></font>To you, Barbara, the kids and all relatives I send my heartfelt condolence.
<br><br>Yours,<br><span style="font-style: italic;">Reinhard/Ron</span>
