Lieve Elly en familie,
We leven met jullie mee, want wat zal die vrolijke lieve Roel gemist worden! Ook vroeger was hij in ons gezin altijd zo’n vrolijke lieve broer die met zijn orgelspel ons veel gezelligheid en plezier bezorgde. We proberen dinsdag de dienst digitaal mee te beleven. Veel sterkte, Anneke

Lieve Elly en kinderen,
Ik wens jullie kracht en sterkte toe om het gemis aan te kunnen.Hij zal zeker erg gemist worden want het was een gezellige en optimistische man.
Wat ik ook hoorde tijdens de dienst van de kleindochter die toen sprak.
Ik heb de uitzending goed kunnen volgen en vond de foto’s die jullie lieten zien voorafgaand aan de dienst ook mooi om te bekijken.
Ik hoop voor jullie allen toch op een goed en voorspoedig komend jaar in goede gezondheid.
Met hartelijke groet,
Joke

I was sad to hear of Ralph’s passing.
He was such a lovely man.
With such a great smile.
Small conversations about family.
His daughter selling bamboo products, was something he would talk about, with pride.
Always on the lookout for something special in our food store.
Such a pleasure to serve.
Ann and Howard of Caledon East
