She spent most of her married life at Newton, busy with raising four children from Dad's first marriage (Maria Dyck deceased) and having six children of her own. Faithfully and dutifully she fed us, bathed us, washed our clothes, mended our tears, healed our broken spirits, planted and cared for a huge garden, loved us all, taught us to be respectful and honest and together with Dad gave us all a great faith based start in life. She loved the Lord with all her heart and showed it to her family. If you tally the numbers there are 118 family members. When calculating and estimating food prepared by Mom it comes to more than 300,000 meals. Food and fellowship were always present at our table. Guests were numerous and life was a hustle and bustle. Mom we loved you and will miss you deeply. May your Crown in Glory be as beautiful as you.
