| My best friend Patti |
|
|
| She has always been there for me... |
All of my friends are special to me and i feel priviledged to know them all. Patti stands out for all the help and support
she has always given me, she moved my whole house for me as i was 9 months pregnant with Luke, she took care of my children
when i had to stay in England with Adam for an extra two weeks,she makes each of my children feel special to her.
Jeffrey wants to marry her when he is 16.
This is Wendy and Dennis, they were married last year and had their first baby Dionne in September of 2003. They live
about an hour away from Cor and Ank, it is also Cor and Anks first grand child. We had some good times with Wendy when we
first moved into the flat, lots of chatting over the back balcony.Thank you for spending the night , i know Wendy is not good
at staying over....lol
This is Dennis and Wendy with Marco, Ank and Cors son, he moved out last year and got his own flat a few mins away, we
had some great water fights with Marco and Wendy when we lived at the flat, we always won of course...lol

|
| Bert Jean Shaun Geraldine Amie and Tracey |
I have known Geraldine since we went to Ambrose Fleming school together. One thing that stands out with Geraldine is her hearty
very loud laugh....lol We both got taken to one side on our first day by our Head Teacher Miss Davis and told we were going
to be watched as our sisters Tracey and Susan were already known to her. We have been friends ever since and get together
a couple of times a year.
This is Cor and Ank, i met them in July 1996 when i moved next door to them on the first floor of the flats in the Zaneveld.
They have been such wonderful friends and neighbours, always there for me and the children, when i moved in August 2001 to
the Lijsterlaan it felt like i left a piece of my heart with them. The kids are like their kids, they have been wonderful,
you could not wish for better friends or neighbours, when i came home from the hospital one evening to pick up some clean
clothes for Adam and myself I found Cor with a mop doing my floor, Ank was looking after Luke Jeffrey and Sean and Wendy
(their daughter) and her husband were taking orders for dinner, Wendy had come all the way from Utrecht to stay the night
and take care of the children. I really don't know what i would have done without them. I am pleased to say that Ank has already
been to visit us in England and they are both comming again in Feb 2004 for a weekend. They keep an eye on Sean my eldest
son who still lives next door to them.They are brilliant!!

This was taken last November when we got together for a reunion. Two sets of sisters, Tracey and Geraldine in the middle.
They came over to Holland in Feb 2003 for a weekend of laughter and fun. We have such a laugh and enjoy spending time with
each other, a friendship that has lasted 30 years so far.

Sean has known Niels since they started high school at the age of 12, he is a nice young man and well over 6ft tall!
He is always polite and i am very pleased he is friends with Sean. He joined the army at 17 and has been in for nearly
two years now. He is going on holiday with Sean again this year.
