The way we feel

In Remembrance of Our Mother and Grandmother


Mom in 1931

Our (Grand)Mom in 1931

This page is dedicated to our mother, Wilhelmina Lefina Warokka, who passed away on 12th November 1996 at 20:49 hrs in the Cinere Hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The first time I thought of setting up these home pages was ending October 1996, just after my mother's 83rd birthday on 15th October. I wished to have a means to inform our family all over the world about her health. Alas, I did not know how to get space somewhere on the Net to do so. Even sadder still, 2 weeks afterwards she passed away in the presence of some of our Indonesian family members, my father, my sister (who arrived from Holland, especially, 30 minutes before the end) and myself.

My father, my brothers, my sister, all my mother's grandchildren and myself all miss her very much and will always remember her as our guiding light, our teacher, our comforter for the rest of our lives. To us all she is an example that we must follow now and in the future.
