Dear Roy, Erin and Kirsten,
I wish you all the strength and the love to deal with the loss of your wonderful partner and mom.
Whenever I was around NYC the Samuelsen house has always been a wonderous welcoming place for me to stay, a home away from home some might say. It feels like yesterday walking down the squeaky stairs and finding your mom on the couch browsing through the New York Times on her iPad. Dear memories I have walking with her to the Catskills Bagel Company or to the Picket Fence for a great breakfast or dinner together.
They might feel like little things however they have always been great ones to me. They gave me the feeling of being at home in NYC which is still my favourite place to visit. It has shaped me because she introduced me to going out to breakfast which was/is not really a thing in Dutch culture. But every holiday I do this now as I like the feeling.
Cathie will be cherished in my memories which she has enriched in so many ways.
Thank You,
Jeroen 'Dutchie 2' Janki
