Saturday, 20-Februrary-2016 - Uden - Went to the funeral service of Floortje today. We met forty years ago at Marc's Bar 'BQ' where she was a familiar sight as waitress.  She would get Marij and I tickets for Oldies Back on Stage so we could see, among others, her husband Peter, lead singer of Image S5, perform.  My deepest sympathy goes out to her family and friends.  funeral remembrance card  "With great sadness we have to say goodbye..."
