Adele Brogger

Rita, John and Patti, Your Hidden Creek family purchased the Sincerest Sorrow - Peach, Orange and White for the family of Adele L. Brogger.

In spite of how we age, it's amazing to me that we never lose sight of who someone is, in the person they have become. I have heard, that in life, if we could only treat others with the respect, dignity and honor they deserve, that our world would be a better place. Well, from what I have heard about, read about and experienced in taking part in caring for Adele for the past 3 1/2 years of her life, I Know, that I can speak for myself and everyone who had the privilege of caring for her...that she truly was an example of those teachings in life. Everyone at Hidden Creek will truly miss Adele Brogger and her wonderful family. Sincerely, Patti

Repose en paix, tante Adele. Rest in peace Aunt Adele from nephew Stephen Griffore and wife Susan, Holland MI

Aunt Adele was a tremendously important figure in my growing up years. I spend hours at the Brogger house with Missy and Mary Beth throughout grade school and Aunt Adele was always there to extend love and caring to me as her niece. Adele was my Confirmation sponsor (and Uncle Tony my godfather at Baptism). As the years progressed, of course time and distance caused those interactions to wane, but never took her out of my heart and memories. I thank you, Aunt Adele, for your nurturing during those very precious years. And love to all my cousins who are truly missed, so far away. Kristiann

I have met Mr & Mrs Brogger a couple of times when I was visiting the US with my parents. My Mom, Gret Duijndam, has lived with the Broggers when she was a student and has ever since kept close contact and told us about the great time she had in America. I remember our first visit back in 1995 with Mom, Dad and my brother Tom. We stayed in Saginaw with Mr & Mrs Brogger. They gave us such a kind and loving welcome. It felt very special to see where my Mom had lived for over a year and to meet 'Mom and Dad Brogger' as she always called them. We met a lot of members of the Brogger family and everywhere we were welcomed so very kindly. A couple of years later I was able to return with my Mom. We were included in a beautiful wedding ceremony and saw how proud Mr & Mrs Brogger were of all their children and grandchildren. It felt special to be a part of it! When we heard of the passing away of Mr Brogger I felt really sad, especially for Mrs Brogger, they were such a sweet couple. My Mom received a Christmas Card every year in which she was being updated about all the family business. Mrs Brogger was always so enthusiastic and sincerely interested in our lives and well being. I have very fond memories of her and admired her loving care for everyone around her. It was an honour meeting you Mrs Brogger, you will never be forgotten! Love, Kristel Dekkers
