    With fondness I remember her cheer, love and kindness to all who visited the Vanderkamp household. I first met the Vanderkamp family when they first lived in “the chicken coop” temporarily before they moved into their home on 10th avenue Burnaby in 1955. May we always remember her Christian example.

    I want to send you my deepest sympathy over the passing of Dee. She was one of a kind and while I worked at the Victorian I had the pleasure of having her as a client and boy did she challenge me. I went with a colleague to see her at her new place on her 99th birthday. Was so very happy to see her so healthy and happy. She spend her last months in a wonderful place with lots of people around her. She will be so happy to see her hubby and son. Will miss her.
