Beste familie van Riel,
Gecondoleerd met het verlies van Jef.
Mijn man en vader (Nout van den Brand) was een neef van Jef en hebben vroeger veel opgetrokken in Riel. Elke keer dat we in Canada waren zijn we op bezoek geweest en werden altijd hartelijk ontvangen.
We wensen Leentje en heel haar familie veel sterkte toe in de komende tijd.
Maria van den Brand de Swart en zoon Peter.

Tante Leentje, I know you will miss the love of your life. You and Oom Sjef are a role model of the fruits of a faith-filled marriage. Your love goes beyond just your amazing family... but to extended family and many many friends. You both welcomed everyone in, any time. You both always helped, shared wisdom and of course laughter! Oom Sjef's many memories etched in so many lives will comfort all who knew him and keep him alive in our hearts until we meet him in heaven. May God comfort you and your family as you adjust to life without Oom Sjef.

I always had a laugh that he only came out of his car when he was at a farm or for food and drinks. He loved the farm life.
Last time we went to Canada we went with my mom and my family. Very lovely, Ome Sjef (and tante Leentje) did everything for us. Always a very warm welcome.
Ome Sjef rest in peace.
And for the family a lot of strength in these difficult times.
