dear ones
wishing you well in this time of mourning. Roelie, Astrid en Regien were part of our dutch heritage and start in life … I am sorry we never got to know each other more in adult life. I do have vivid and fond memories of auntie Kiek.
The Oranges (Mil de Neve), Anne, Patricia and Maurice – have just lost our Dad: Peter Maurice Orange – leaving Eddie Bellem to hold the banner for that generation.
love and all good wishes
