I am very grateful that I have known this amazing woman for over 30 years, and I want to share 3 stories:
The first is when she came to Derry in 1993, with Engelien and I, after we got engaged, to meet my mother and father, Patsy and Jim. One night Engelien and I were out at the pub with my friends, when we came back home around midnight we opened the door of 3 St Aidan's Tce to hear these odd sounds coming from the inside- it was Patsy and Jim and Bridget and Henriette all singing Hymns together in our living room.
During that entire trip, when we were walking around Derry city center and the walls, we managed to turn every single corner before a patrol of British soldiers ( this was 1993 ) came up the street - Henriette never saw a single soldier that whole weekend and afterwards told everybody how wonderful and peaceful and beautiful Derry and Northern Ireland are - and that there should be many more people visiting.
The third story is from 2006. I was living with Henriette for six months from January to June, when I took my job in Washington, and was commuting back to Atlanta at the weekends - Engelien and the kids moved up in July and we got a house. Tania - Henriette's wonderful god-daughter and been round to visit Henriette and then afterwards her and I grabbed a beer. Tania said:
"I asked Mama how things were going with you as a tenant - she said ' Paul is a wonderful tenant, who respects the rules of the house, especially the rule that no alcohol is allowed - and I know this because I have searched his room'"
She lived a long, full and wonderful life - I am so happy our 3 kids spent so much of their childhood doing arts and crafts with her in her basement - she taught Aidan, Liam and Lily way more about using saws and powertools than i ever could!

My memory of Henriette is sharp. She was the mother of the best sister in law that a brother could have, my sister in law, Engelien, who I first met in 1990 . Paul and Engelien got married in August 1994. I remember it so well - talking to Henriette and Jan and the sheer bravery of their actions during WW2. What tremendous people to know and I felt a minor character. I did not see Henriette or Jan much in many, many years. But I know they bonded with my own parents, Jim and Patsy. Catholicism lasts -it does not disappear but is shared with new generations of people who share a faith and remember the sheer decency of a woman, her family and her husband, who did so much and in the face of certain execution. If Henriette does not reach the Gates of Heaven, then it does not exist. God Bless her Soul.
