It is with a heavy heart that I write my condolence. Nadine, Thea's eldest daughter, was a close childhood friend and I have fond memories going to their country house and on trips with their family as a child. Thea had a unique ability to feel tremendous compassion for people in need. To people that so many of us fail to notice, Thea was a confidant, an advocate, and a friend. Her example and her love will never leave the communities that she touched.Thea you are remembered fondly. I'm extending warm hugs to Duane, Nadine and Sara and pray that you all find comfort and strength during this time.
God Be With You.
Love,
Serena

Dear Duane,
I worked with Thea, as a lifeguard in the summer months with the London Pools.
Thea was my Supervisor. She always saw the positive side. She smiled after letting us know how to make things better and more safe. She had a wonderful laugh and I admired her easy going way and wonderful legs. Thea was an inspiration! I'm sorry for her early departure. Condolences to you and your family.

Many fond memories of my time serving on counsel with Thea. Such a compassionate person to others. I learned a lot from her over my contacts with her.
We are away from home right now or else we would be there at the funeral.
Will be thinking of you Dwayne and the extended family.

Thea was on my Dragonboat team and was an inspiration to everyone She was a devoted mother daughter and wife. She displayed her love for the Lord in everything she did Her love for her sister as they paddled side by side. She always was there to help when a need was asked. I will miss her but I know the Lord did what was best and she will always be in my heart and memories. I have a picture she gave me and I look at it everyday. Be at peace she is

You will be dearly missed Doortje.
By everyone who loved you, your own family in the first place but also by your friends.
Not less here in Holland, though we have not seen eachother for many years, your departure
has touched and deeply saddened all relatives, uncles, aunts and cousins alike.
We will remember you as one piece of positivity, almost always with a smile on your face.
When we were still kids, we spend quite some time with eachother in rural Fryslân.
I remember we enjoyed your mam's spoetniks after we came back from hiking through the meadows,
where we went 'fierljeppen' over all the ditches we came across. We put on our rainboots, you in
your ever nice orange jumper and we went out conquering the world. You called it 'lultsjebrekken'
(for anyone interrested, you can ask Doortjes mam or Elska, maybe Tineke also knows) and you had
to laugh about that in your own exuberant way. Then we didn't see one another until we were about
14 or so. You moved to Canada in the meantime and we came over for holidays.
One of our shared passions was swimming and you showed to be a heck of an athlete.
We had a nice time there. The years passed and everyone followed his own path in life,
you experienced the seriousness of life, but never lost that positive outlook that was so typically you.
You raised a family together with Duane, your buddy, shared your love for them, teaching by example.
You will surely have done a great job with that.
And now you're missed, it will take a while before the pain will wear out and memories become the honey
sweet treasure when you will be remembered, because that's what you will be...remembered..!!

I never had the privilege of meeting Thea but I have had the wonderful privilege to work with Nadine for the last three years. If I could say anything to Thea it would be this, "Thank you for the gift of Nadine. She is making our world better daily with her thoughtful, caring way; her conscientious and clear approach to challenges; and her good humour". We are thinking about you with love, Nadine, Sarah and Duane.
