    Dear family. Though it was expected, it came as a surprise that she passed away so sudden. We had hoped we could see and meet her in the near future. Sadly, this was not to be. We’ll remember her as a nice and merry sister and aunt. We are glad we had the opportunity to have a video call a few weeks ago. She seemed happy then and she sung a song with her sister. They had a great laugh. Annie regrets not to have been able to meet her in real. Life is as it is.

    In our hearts and minds we are with you. We’ll remember the good things. I guess we’ll have to celebrate her famous ‘wine-time’ together one day. In remembrance of a nice and warm hearted woman.

    She is freed of the burden of an unwilling body and mind. May she rest in place.
