On 11 Feb. at 5 am, My beloved wife and my children's caring mother MAAIKE RIEMSTRA, b. Bijlsma, passed away quietly and calmly, trusting in her God and Saviour at the age of 74 yr and 21 days. The parting is hard, but the certainty that she died in the conviction that this was for the better, is a consolation to me and the children.
