Dear Aunt Irene, Bruce, Judy, Barbara & family. I'm so sorry for this painful time. I got this notice last evening from Walla Walla, and I write today on what was Mother's birthday (Anne Martynse). Though she has been gone since December 2014, it still, at times, isn't real for a few seconds. To be with someone for 64 years, and then they are gone is something so foreign, it is hard to fully believe it is possible.
I wish our family hadn't been spread so far apart across Canada and the U.S. so that we could have gotten to truly know one another and that I could be "there" for you now in a deeper way. I do have some beautiful memories from our family reunions and Expo '67 that I will always cherish.
I send you strength and peace and a reminder that no one can ever take your memories away from you.
Love,
Susan
