"Tante Ge" was so much a part of the ter Hart family in Estevan, Saskatchewan. She and her husband, Jan, befriended our parents, Jan and Pia ter Hart, when they were young, newlywed and newly arrived in Saskatoon, Canada in the late 1950's. It was always a special day when the van der Tuuks came to visit, as we knew Tante Ge would have a chocolate bar for each of us hidden in her purse! Once, when Ge and Jan were travelling to Holland and had a stay in Toronto, I went with my three children to the airport to meet them as I was living in Ontario. And guess what!! She had chocolate bars in her purse for my children as well! How we all loved her and how gracious, kind, benevolent and thoughtful she was. Her memory will always be a part of our childhood and beyond.
