Dear Adrian, John and Trudy,
Herewith the deepest condolences of Grie (Steen) van Tuijl, a niece of Nel Vroom. She (Grie, my mother, 88 years young, living in Zwolle, Netherlands) visited Albert and Nel back in 2003, together with my father Jan Steen, my mother´s brother Jan van Tuijl (so, of course, a cousin of Nel), and his wife Marrie. That has been the last time they saw each other. My father Jan died in January 2004, and my aunt Marrie passed away a couple of years ago. Jan van Tuijl lives in the city of Giessenburg and will complete 90 years next April 1st.
I asked my mother to look after some pictures of the 2023 visit. If/when she finds them, I will try to upload them here, of send them to any email-address you might make available.
I myself visited Canada for the first time last October, but only made it to Quebec and Montreal. Hope to get to know more of your beautiful country in the future…
Kind regards, Laurens Steen
