Donna and Frits were our oldest friends during our years in Waterloo and later in retirement in Toronto. For many years we celebrated New Year’s Eves together. Donna was so attentive at remembering birthdays and quick to call with special wishes. I’ll also miss the annual Roos Christmas family letters with photos. I have great memories of visiting them in Portugal when we spent a month there. Frits’s bargaining skills in the Portuguese markets still amaze. A merchant running after Frits begging him to buy a beautiful leather belt for a few euros was a sight to behold. They loved travelling and experiencing other cultures. May they now continue together on their journey. My condolences Katherine, Patricia, Harriet, Rick, Chris and families in the loss of your mom, grandmother, friend, mentor and organizer extraordinaire.
