Most of our memories regarding our dear cousin Luuk are
in Holland. Luuk was together with his brother Jan half a son for us.
We lived many years next to each other.
Our sons and them were arguing, played together... And we build our two garages, a long sheet pile
and small walls in our gardens.
Luuk was like Rachel described, always active working, helping, doing and making jokes.
When he leaved Holland to go to Canada, there was here a big empty place. And when he met Rachel we knew, that he was gone for ever.
But it was good. Rachel and Luuk were a perfect couple.
It was a big adventure when we made a sort like a honeymoon trip on a sailboat.
Then their was a big storm, but we arrived safely in the port.
Now - years later – Luuk and his family (and we in Holland) - experience another storm. A heavy one!
After years of illness Luuk is not anymore here with us.
We are very said, but we believe that he is gone to the most safe port there is.
We know, that Rachel, Naylis, Skyler and Allie , believe that too.
That is our consolation. May the Lord be with you and your family and friends.
