Another Margaret, our Mom Margaret Keith died May 8th, so we share in your grief at the loss of another great Kinloss matriarch. Sandra Keith
Thinking of all of you as you mourn your Mothers death. I have fond memories of our family sitting behind your full pew every Sunday at Langside Presbyterian Church in the 60's.
It is difficult getting through the mourning process when hugs etc are not allowed ( with the covid 19 restrictions), but pray that you find ways to support each other, through this difficult time
My condolences to the deBoer and Vander Klippe families. I have many good childhood memories of Mrs. deBoer hosting the Langside boys for John's November birthday parties.
To all the children, stepchildren and garanchildren of Roely.
Our sincere condolences with the passing away of your Mom and Oma. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.It,s a real comfort to know that she went to be with her Lord and Saviour. I seen the funeral service and felt like being paret of it. Modern technology is amazing. John,s letter made me think of my Mom. She used to tell me that she had a letter from John and Elaine. You had a special place in her heart John. Thank you for doing that. Wishing all of you Gods blessings In this difficult time. Hugs. Roelie Katerberg , on behalf of the Martens family.
We are thankful for the words expressed at the grave by all. Especially enjoyed hearing Fred and Simon. We as family were so blessed by " gramma great " Roely . Many memories of her being in our life from the day Linda and I married, yes she was at our wedding ! As a friend to Linda's mom , later when Roely and dad married, Grandma to our children. Many meals shared including her wonderful bread. We loved her .
So sorry it was time to say goodbye to your Mom. I enjoyed my visits with her. When we sang Jesus Loves Me, she sang every word. It was beautiful. God bless and comfort your whole family. Love and prayers
We hold you in our thoughts and prayers as you mourn the loss of Roelie, your mother (in-law). It was good to know Roelie and to have her in our family. She was a wonderful wife to dad, accepting him for who he was, caring for him and sharing his jokes and pranks. She was also a loving (step) grandmother to our children. It was good to hear your memories of her. Her love for all of you and for all her grandchildren was evident every time we talked and she shared about her family. I was always impressed by how well she kept everyone straight and knew what was happening in their lives. We pray that you may all experience God's comfort and strength as your lives go on without her. As we were watching the service, I thought of her in heaven, in the presence of God. Love, Alice and Leo
Rolie's interest in everyone and her warm smile will always be a part of Kinloss- Our sincere sympathy to all the family- We knew many of you, from the Women's Institute, to community gatherings, to Brookside School. with love and caring, Sheila and family
Frankie was such a wonderful strong, giving lady. I'm going to be lost without her humour and supportas she was my very first sponsor in AA and she was still sponsoring me over the phone. When I would call the first thing she would say was "What was the last meeting you were at?" I will miss her support.
We were neighbour's of Roely and Gerry for years. We could not have had nicer neighbour's. We helped each other, we shared many laughs and Roely was an excellent baker. Sometimes we would come home from work and there would be a warm pie on our counter bringing a big smile to Eric's face because he knew who had been there. We both have very fond and caring memories of Roely. Hold your memories close to your heart and she will always be with you. Hugs Eric and Bonnie
If we weren’t all keeping our distance, we would like to give each one of you a hug at this sad time. Your mom was always happy when she was surrounded by her family. Hopefully the many good memories you have of her will give you comfort in the days ahead. We send our love and our prayers.
Please know that I am praying for you during this time. We know that God is the only one that can truly give us comfort. It is difficult to lose our parents but a comfort to know that they love the Lord, and that He welcomes them with open arms. Receive my virtual hug!
Dear John and Nancy and family. My deepest condolences in the passing of your mom. Loss of a parent is never easy but in these times it is more difficult when your friends can’t be with you to give you a hug. Sending my hug from a distance. Love Aggie
We send our heartfelt condolences to all the families of Roely in the loss of a wonderful lady. She was always so interested in everyone around and her smile will remain withus always. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Bob and June
