Tributes
  1. It was a shock to hear of Coby’s passing.
    Coby was a wonderful friend to my parents, Bill and Jenny Koppe. I imagine Mum and Coby (sisters from another mother) sharing a heavenly belly laugh and glass of advocaat.
    Sympathy to the family.

  2. Like condolences to Robert and Judy and families. I will sincerely be grateful for all the times. Mum looked after my children many many years ago. Well my son is 55. My daughter is 45 so that tells you how long ago I will surely miss her and hope she rest in peace. Love Connie Jason and Peta- lee and the family.

  3. Sending our sincerest condolence’s to Judy, Robert and further family!
    Tante Coby was a lovely aunt, even though we as a family moved back to Holland in 1971 we always kept in touch. When in Holland she would stay with us for a few days, and when I visited Australia she always welcomed me with a ‘lekker kopje koffie’!
    Our calls were always ‘gezellig’- we kept each other informed. Tante Coby even went to the trouble to send a gift to my firstborn grandson, gift went around the world twice but she was persistent and gift finally arrived, he loved it!
    She will definitely be missed by many!
    We wish the family a lot of strength for the coming period!
    Lieve groet,
    Anja Bek and family.

  4. Dear Robert, Judy and extended family. John and Lini wish they could be there to celebrate Coby’s life and wish her well into the next part of her journey to join up with your dad, Tommy as my dad fondly called him. I just saw Aunty Coby at mum and Dad’s recently with Aunty Willy. She seemed so well, so her passing comes as a shock to us all as I am sure it did to you. Mum and dad will treasure all the happy memories made with your mum and dad and all the Bek family. Thinking of you all, John, Lini, Monique and Tania & families.
    Sending our love to all the Bek family.
