Very sad to hear of dear Anneke's passing, what a wonderful lady she was! The classiest Dutch accent this side of Amsterdam, an intelligence that was formidable, and a solid personality that made you feel so good to encounter. I became acquainted with Helmut and Anneke, as they were a faithful participants at my mum and dad's weekly Wainfleet coffee clatch, where locals met every week for gossip and finger foods. As circumstances go, I was helpful to Anneke when Helmut passed, and she in turn became a dear friend I would come to really enjoy visiting. Always full of life, even as she dealt with a pain of loss I could only imagine, Anneke accomplished what she had to conquer, and lived an amazingly bountiful life. My deepest sympathies to the Family, you were all very much a point of pride for Anneke, and perhaps her greatest legacy of all.
