Default My mother RIP

Since I regard many of you as close friends, I wanted to let you know my mother, Rietje Spoelstra-Blok, died on 5 September at 70 years of age. She had been ill with cancer for almost two years. Despite putting up a huge fight and winning two major battles, she lost the war, so to speak. On 11 September she was cremated after a remembrance ceremony where some 200 people turned up.

She was a very special woman and will be sorely missed.

Hanno
