Aaltje and I worked together for many years with the Provincial Council Legion Ladies and it was my privilege to know her. Condolences to her family and I would like them to know what a fine member she was and her many addresses made to different bodies were inspiring to us all of her life during the war in Holland and afterwards with Les. We loved her dearly and she will be missed. - Posted by: Marlene Rose, Provincial Council Legion LA Treasurer (Friend and coworker with Legion Ladies Provincial Council) on: May 31, 2013
