Hi Ep and Annie,
I am so sorry to know about what happened to Wouter and I can't imagine how heartbroken you are as parents.  I know there is nothing we can do to take away your pain but I just want you to let you know that we are sharing your pain as part of the family.  We are also losing a wonderful loving nephew. 
I am so pleased that Harry could be there in the funeral as he was so sad and shocking when he first got the news.  He was also so worrying about you and your family far away in Holland 2 weeks ago and now I am so pleased that he can be with you to share the grief.
Thank you for sending me the Link for the funeral, it is very nice that I could know what was going on in the ceremony even though I could not be physically there.  Harry already told me that he would tell me more about the funeral when he comes back as the funeral was in Dutch.
We had been talking a lot about Wouter to our friends because he was so tall and we are so proud of his determination to make his dream comes true.  We all admire him so much for his overseas trip in Australia because it is very brave decision and such a good experience for any young man. 
And, he is the tallest person I have ever met.  Wouter, my little BIG nephew! I still remember standing next to him, I was just a bit over his Belly Button.  I told Wouter that please sit down when you talk to me, there is a big distance between you and me when we are standing up.
I always like the way he is so calm and confident.  I can never forget that he was standing there with his bathrobe the morning we left your house, saying goddbye and telling us that he would be in NZ 2 years.  He was so determined and passionate about the trip.  He finally made it and I know he had a real good year in Aussi in making his dream comes true.  You both have done so excellent in bringing up this lovely young man.  I could feel the love in the family during the short stay at your house!
And now the funeral is finished, I hope you will gradually get through this difficult time with the comfort and support from friends and family. And I also pray that god would give you the strength to heal the pain of losing someone so dear. 
Wouter is part of our family and we are so proud to have him.  He will live on in our hearts forever.

Love,
Rosana New Zealand
