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

Roerdinkholder-Hesselink, my grantmother did the<br>>>translation of the

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

for informing us about your grandmother's condition. I am sad

much we appreciate her<br>>>participation in our project. With
private mail I'll send you a<br>>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
