My deepest sympathy to you Mrs. Pollock. I am a daughter of Pieter and Tina DeWit who attended the Presbyterian church in Mission BC back in the 1950's. I can still visualize the interior of that church and your husband preaching. He once told a story about the lasting consequences of sin, even when it has been forgiven; that I have never forgotten. If you can remember our family, I was the oldest daughter and you once invited me to have lunch with your girls after church. My father Pieter, was also born in 1922, but he passed away in 2007 and my mother in 1991. Thank you for the part that your family had in our family's life, and your kindness to us. You were responsible for my first understanding of the concept of years. You lent my mother a Reader's digest and just before you gave it to her you said, "O this is 1956, last years, let me get you the new one." That simple comment made me understand the concept of years. My the Lord be your strength in the coming days. Sincerely, Anne Booy
