REINA RYSKAMP BOUTERSE

Grandmother and I use to sit out on her little porch and she'd talk
about her sisters Ann and Grace.I don't remember any of the others
but she'd tell me about them,and her dog named "Nita"
that she had growing up,and the black "Willy's" her folks owned.
Grandmother grew up in Kronigen Holland, and Grandaddy in
Rotterdam,Holland.I'm not sure how or when they came to this
country, but my Mother was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in 1910,
so it had to be sometime before then! I know Grandmother adored
her Mother. I asked her one day, if she was afraid to die, and she said:
"No, because I will see my Lord and my Mama!"
To a little five year old girl, those were more than powerful words!
They were lifesaving words!
Not much else to know about Reina Ryskamp Bouterse, except that
she loved the Lord more than anything, but then I think that's
probably all you need to know!
