Lieve familie.Vandaag geven we het lichaam van Tony uit handen.We geloven: “zijn geest is terug naar de Schepper”
Verder zonder Tony, wat we houden, zijn goede herinneringen waar we troost in kunnen vinden .
Als we de herinnering levend houden, blijft dat bij ons , dat is mooi en belangrijk.
We wensen jullie toe de onderlinge liefde te voelen en te voeden met daden van liefde.
Weet je in handen van God en leg je verdriet en zorg bij Hem.

Dear Linda & family;
We think of you and pray for you each day since we heard of Tony’s sudden and seemingly untimely death. It is hard to understand why God takes some of his people away so soon.
We would have very much like to grieve with you at the funeral…
May God and his people around you give you comfort for the months and years to come as you continue to grieve.
We will continue to keep you all in our prayers.
Janneke Blijdorp
Dear Linda, Luke, Joyelle and Jordan,
I just listened tot the recording of the ceremony for the funeral of Tony. I am deeply impressed by the way you spoke about your father Luke. It warmed my heart Linda to hear you telling about the way Tony convinced you to Trust: to trust and believe in God, to trust that in living so, things will work out.
Although there is an ocean between us, I am with you in my thoughts and prayers.
