Sincere condolences to Gerlof and the de Jong family, I have enjoyed my friendship with Tineke this last six years… A lovely lady you will be missed by many. I enjoyed our daily talks almost every day and teaching me how to crochet. You were a wonderful friend. I’m going to miss you ❤️.
Beste Gerlof en fam,
Door het heengaan van Tieneke wordt de maand maart voor altijd een gedenkwaardige maand. Meer dan 50 jaar tezamen opgetrokken en lief en leed met elkaar gedeeld in voor en tegenspoed en dan komt dit verlies hard aan. Dat went nooit. De herinnering is wat blijft. Weet je ook op afstand gesteund in deze moeilijke periode. We leven mee. Gecondoleerd en veel sterkte voor nu en de komende tijd. De vriendengroep van weleer wordt steeds kleiner. Joke Riedstra en al lang geleden overleden en Trienke, Klaas en Ellie zijn ook al overleden.
gr Meike

Dear De Jong family,
Please accept our deepest sympathy. Through Facebook, I “met” Tineke years ago, we connected because I am also Dutch and live in Manitoba. We’ve met you once, many years ago at the BBQ in Deleau park, after Tineke invited us to come. Through Facebook and messenger we stayed in contact. After I was diagnosed with a rare cancer, she contacted me that she also was very sick but not curable. We stayed in touch though messenger and I am so sorry that Tineke now passed. I remember her as a strong woman, with a deep love for her family, her garden and nature. She took great pride in the birds visiting her bird feeders, the flowers and the Deleau park. She made beautiful photos. I think it was her telling me about bikers staying the night in the park and the stories they told. I will keep warm memories of her in my heart and wish you, Gerlof, Neeltje, Auke, and Liz and grandchildren, all the strength you need. We’ll pray for you.
Gecondoleerd Ome Gerlof,bern en bernsbern

I was saddened to hear of Tineke’s passing. A wonderful lady who I got to know thru our gardening group. She will be missed by all of us who got to know her thru the power of the web and the friendships made over the years.
Lieve familie,
Gecondoleerd met het overlijden van Tante Tineke.
Ik weet nog goed dat jullie gingen emigreren.
Ze was een lieve en warme vrouw. Ik genoot van haar mooie foto’s op Facebook en zo hielden we contact.
Wat zullen jullie haar gaan missen. Ook hier zullen haar missen.

My condolences to the family
Gerlof and family. Please accept our deepest condolences. Tineke was a wonderful,kind and patient person. She was an angel to mom, who wouldn’t have been able to stay in her home as long as she did without Tineke. I’ll think of her when my flowers are blooming and the birds are singing.
