she was a sweetheart & remember her fondly, growing up in our neighbor hood where everyone knew everyone & looked after each other. She was motherly to all. My condolences to the family, she was a great woman.
I will always remember Mrs. Duchyns with a smile on her face. Kind of like the picture above. She and Mr. Duchyns had a lot of patience with son Tom & I. I really enjoyed the time I spent on the family farm. I’ll always remember the decorative eggs she used to make. God bless you Sofie.
