Lieve familie Panhuis, Van harte gecondoleerd met het grote verlies van jullie moeder en oma. We bewaren goede herinneringen aan haar. De afstand is groot en toch was ze altijd dichtbij door brieven, bezoeken, telefoontjes en internet. Veel sterkte gewenst bij de uitvaart en later. Groeten van Albert, Erna, Fleur en Bas
