I never have gotten to know Mrs. Van der Meyden, but I must say that she never walked by without giving a sweet smile.

I didn't know your Mother ...Dear Jack and Lena,<br />I didn't know your Mother in law too well but one time I drove her home from the church (a wedding? I don't remember) and I got to know her a little better. I was thankful for the opportunity. She was "gezellig" and kind. For Sarah's 18th birthday she too got a card written in her squiggly handwriting and I think a $5 dollar bill but it may have even been more. (Sarah was so blessed with cards and monetary gifts that I don't remember them all anymore!) With Sarah not having her own Oma and Opa anymore I thought that was really special! <br />May God see fit to take her home quickly and may God be with you all.<br />LorraineLorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873989724397204826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376552030229103524.post-85828752064900208972012-12-04T08:18:19.250-05:002012-12-04T08:18:19.250-05:00What a lovely picture of your dear Mother in law!!...What a lovely picture of your dear Mother in law!! I did not know her well personally, but remember her even as a little kid when London and St. Thomas Churches were still together. She always gave me such a serene impression as a person who was content. I always loved her sparkly eyes even a year and a half ago when I had a chat with her (in the bathroom :-) at a funeral. She was very shaky and instead of getting frustrated, she poked a little fun at herself and graciously allowed me to help her. I wondered what she was like as a little girl. Praying for you all as you deal with this difficult time.

She is truly a saint worth emulating! She lives the text from Philippians 4:11, "for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." We have been blessed to know her as well. She is a true trophy of God's wonderful grace. Henkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400107495724642319noreply@blogger.com
