Dear family of Cornelia. I'm sad for the heartache you must go through as you part with your dear Oma, Great Oma, Mother. Cornelia lived at Tabor Manor before UMH and i am one of the PSW's who had the honor of caring for your dear sweet Cornelia. I have so many fond memories of deep conversations and lots of laughter too. Her heart is pure gold. Cornelia always looked on the bright side of everything. We missed her so mluch when she moved and she will be dearly thought of now that she has gone to heaven where we will all see her again one day. I offer condolences on behalf of all the staff at Tabor.
With all my heart

Hello All
Tante Cor was my favourite aunt. I mostly loved her because she was the most real. She knew what was important in life and it wasn't an immaculate "Dutch" clean home. You could relax when you visited her. I believe the most important thing in her life was family. I can recall all the photographs on the wall of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Tante Cor has just always been a part of my life. She was always there. When I think of her, I think of her smile and I hear her laugh. She was always quick to do both.
I have her 100th birthday card on my fridge and I smile every time I see it.
I think what I recall most is that I always felt I could count on her. I am thinking back to the many times our family car broke down, usually when trying to picnic at Longbeach. To a little kid, I felt we would be stranded on the road forever. I can recall sitting in her van and discussing the option of moving in with her should my family be stranded on the road for eternity. She always said yes. I felt safe knowing I had a second home to go to.
I always spoke about your mom to others, citing she had the secret to living a long satisfied life. "Be content! Oh and puzzle a lot."
I am sending you all a hug. It saddens me that I can't be there but know that I am there in spirit.
Cheers to a most beautiful woman!
Love
Wendy

Hello All
I would like to first write on behalf of my mom, Tante Lenny. It would break my mom's heart knowing she lost her best friend. On one level I am glad she is not aware.
Tante Cor and Ome Jake ( as I know them) were my mom's first and closest friends when my parents arrived in Canada.
My mom has told me umpteem times how they shared those early holidays together. Your mom asking my mom if she wanted the front or back legs of a turkey they shared. ( took my mom a bit to get the joke)
Your mom helped my mom become a mom to her first born, Cora. I think my mom was nervous as my sister was so much smaller than Art that was born earlier that year.
My mom told me how in the early days, they would play cards on the weekends, each putting in something like a dime to buy a pie to share. They must have played thousands of card games together.
The hundreds of Sunday picnics we shared. They shared the simple joys of life but the most meaningful.
I know my mom could relax and be herself with your mom,share a laugh, complain a little, reminisce.
I don't know exactly what my mom would say, but I think she would say something like this.
"I love you Cor. You were the best friend a person could have.
Get ready to play some cards when I meet you in Heaven."
Lenny ( written by Wendy)

There are so many memories that I have of your Matriarch, (my Tante Cor) it was hard to know which memory to share. Some of the stories were repeated to me repeatedly as I was growing and how Tante Cor showed my Mom how to take care of me after I was born. Those are not really my memories.
My memory is from 1972 the year after my Dad passed away. My Mom had to have surgery and she asked different families to take care of us while she was in the hospital. I wanted to stay at home, but Mom would not hear of it. Tante Cor asked me if I would like to stay with her and her family. She said we could bake cake or cookies and I could help her make supper. I could also spend some time with Ome Jake, learning how it sorted the eggs. She also said that if I wanted to go and visit my friends in St. Catharines that they would drive me.
Tante Cor knew I was anxious about my Mom being in the hospital. I had just lost one parent who had been ill since I was 5 years old. To stay with Tante Cor and her family, I had to take a week off work, and she told me to think of it as a vacation. I decided to accept her invitation.
As always, Tante Cor made me feel at home. She treated me like the youngest in her family (all her children are older than me) and I got spoiled that week with attention. It was the first time in my life that I did not have any responsibility for anyone else. I did not have to prepare meals, or clean house or do laundry or take care of my younger siblings.
Some might say that the things she did for me that week were small, but they would be wrong. She gave me a priceless gift. For one week, I got to be a carefree teenager. I am forever grateful for having her in my life and I will miss her. Love Cora ❤
