Many thanks from our family for all of the kind words, thoughtful sentiments, and loving prayers and condolences. Some didn't know how to react when I responded to their condolences with 'Oma was amazing, and hers was a perfect, beautiful death.' Imagine being diagnosed with an incurable disease and deciding just to play it out. Oma would say 'I've had a very blessed life, it's time to go meet Opa.' You boys are all good. Your families are good, (she'd say I don't like to brag, but everyone is very good :) She didn't tolerate much bragging :) 'What more could I ask for?' Imagine having so much love and faith that leaving this world would bring you back to the ones you've loved. For over 2 years our family, from many different provinces, countries and time zones, would make the time to get together for a weekly Sunday Oma zoom. We've shared a wedding, new great grandchildren, birthdays and Easters together at Oma and Opa's, (which we all still called their home). Oma, our matriarch had a knack for bringing and keeping us all together even when just not being able to make the trip would be so much easier. When Oma knocked on Heaven's Door, she was greeted with a very fast, painless and comfortable pass. On our last video call, the day of the night she left, she said and waved goodbye, told us she loved us and then as Mark was taking the laptop out of the room....one for the road, "I love you-Bye." When Father Wallace was telling us that in his 34 years of being a priest, he's never met anyone who knew so well how to live and how to die. 'She was ready to go and at peace. For most of us, it wasn't until that last video call that we actually realized she was leaving us. Thank you Rini for bringing and being all of the wonderful gifts to our lives. And doing it in your own way that brought all of us to a humbleness and gratitude that you would have wished for us...Christmas and every day of the year. Almost every call Oma reminded us. "What are you going to do with it. You just gotta go through with it!"

Condolences to Tim, Alen, Mark & families on your loss. We first met Rini & Henk on Verdun Road then visited all of you south of Port Perry & later on Honey's Beach (where Ron brought donuts after church). We'll never forget Rini's warm personality, welcoming hug & homemade food especially soups. She was one of a kind as was Henk. It's been a long time but we would love to see all of you in better weather. The family of Ron Moran: Gail Moran & Karen Andrews

Recalling the memories of our days serving the community as a Permanent Deacon at Immaculate Conception and the support received by Rini and Henk. May her family find comfort in the words of St. John Chrysostom: “ Those whom we loved and lost are no longer where they were before. They are wherever we go.” Deo Gratias

A little over six years ago, my wife and I moved to Port Perry, and very fortunately became neighbours and friends with Rini, Henk, and their family. Though Henk passed on shortly after our arrival, we came to know Rini as the loving matriarch of her extended family, clearly enjoying visits from family and friends from near and far.
Rini’s cancer diagnosis some time ago seemingly did not faze her in the least, as she bravely carried on and welcomed new members to her wonderful extended family.
Truly a loving and gracious lady, who embraced her faith with open arms.
Many of us will truly miss her smiling presence on our street!.
God bless you, Rini.
- Mark and Pamela Procunier
