    101st. paratroopers grave




    1945 Emmy was teacher at a boy’s school in Margraten

    she adopted bob’s grave and took care oof it

    she corresponded with my mother and father, with my brothers wife Viola

    Emmy married in 1953 and her husband died in 1995. she has two children

    Her daughter Emmy is single and her son Ludo is married to Renate



    Sept 25,2002 wrote to travel agent of travelin-tigers which I seen on inter-net and asked if they could help find a Holland lady who took care of my brothersgrave about 55 years ago and I only have 55 year old location, Emmy Heymens 156 Bunders, Meerssen, Holland

    The next day I received e-mail from Francien Jaouid of Afdeling Informatie & Reserveriningen that she contacted their office in Meerssen..

    Their collegue there was in his seventies and he knew a lot of people.. His daughter

    Checked the Bunderstraat 156 and there used to live a mr. Heynens which was probably Emmy’s brother, but he died so they started asking his neighbours if they knew Emmy.

    About 30 minutes later I received e-mail from Francien and the subject was”WE FOUND HER !!!”They gave me Emmy’s married name “Franssen” and saddress in Meerssen I wrote to Emmy and she was surprised for the letter. Emmy does not have a computer but her son and daughter both have computers for e-mail and we have been cooresponding tru their computers. I now know Emmy’s family and she knows my family
