Mark's music at ceremony.
« on: September 16, 2009, 02:13:32 PM »
Sunday morning we got a phone call of the nursing home and within 10 minutes we were there just on time, because a little while later my mother-in-law died at the age of 89! Yeaahh I know we should be happy that we had her with us for such a long time, but even when she would be 100 we still don

Sad to hear she died, but good to hear it all went peaceful. Keep the good memories in mind and be thankful she lived that long. Good choices, I am sure it will fit absolutely well. I wish you and Jans a lot of strength in the forthcoming days and weeks. All the best, Ingrid

Fieneke, I am so sorry to hear your mother-in-law has died.  I will be thinking of yourself and Jans this afternoon.  I'm sure Mark's music will be a perfect choice. :)

It's always best to think of the good times one has spent when a close one passes.  I'm sure she would have appreciated your choice of music and I'm sure the ceremony will be a fitting occasion.  My sincere condolences.

My sincere condolences.

Ironically, I just read yesterday that pop star Andrea Corr walked down the aisle to Irish Boy recently.

I was sorry to hear about your mother in law. You have chosen some sublime music and I am sure everyone will have appreciated your choice. Every time you and your husband hear those songs in the future, I hope they bring back happy memories of a great old lady!

Dear friends!

I want to THANK YOU all for your nice words. They really mean a lot to me and I will show them to Jans so he can read it also.

The ceremony was beautiful and the family liked the music, I am glad about that. When I talk about Mark in future they know who I mean.

We need to go back working tomorrow, so life soon will be normal again. Of course we will miss our weekly visits to her, but as I told we have so many good memories, that will ease the pain.

Again thank you all! :-*
