I would like to thank you for the beautiful flowers, sent to our church to represent ICHO at Andrea's funeral.
 
Andrea was shown how much she will be missed with a beautiful funeral, with all the respect due her, and more, by over three hundred attending.
 
It was a wonderful going home/farewell to Andrea with fond memories recounted by many of her clients and friends, during the reception that followed.
 
I truly thank each and every one of you for your thoughts and prayers, and again for the flowers sent by all.
 
We are still receiving funds for Andrea's charity, however I am pleased to report that we are already working in Haiti using your donations  to drill 2 wells or repair possibly as many as 6 wells , of those damaged in the earth quake.
These donations are much appreciated, thank you so much.
 
I hope you don't mind I have included some pictures of Andrea during her time of battle with Cancer, followed with some pictures of Andrea's funeral before the mourners were let into the sanctuary. 
 
Thank you again for your donations, they are making a difference.
 
In God We Trust.

John & Andrea Schaap


 






Andrea Schaap

The Curly Horse World Has Lost a Luminary


I am sad to tell you all that Andrea Schaap, ICHO founder, past president, and  board member and former ABCR member, was taken from us by cancer yesterday morning. Andrea passed away peacefully in her home with her family by her side.
  
Andrea's husband ,John, has told me that besides curly horses and her patients in her veterinary clinic, Andrea's passion was to help the less fortunate in northern Ontario dig wells to obtain what she described as "the precious gift of water." Accordingly, the family has asked that in lieu of flowers, persons wishing to honor Andrea make a donation in her name to "The Good Shepherd Church Mission Fund"  for that purpose.
 
Donations can be sent to John Schaap, 686320 Spruce Grove Road, RR #2, Englehart, ON POJ 1HO, and he will deliver them to the church for the benefit of the less fortunate.
 
Andrea's concern for others is what she was all about. For those of us who knew Andrea personally, this is a terrible loss. For those of you who didn't, you unfortunately missed knowing a truly wonderful person. For both groups, you can gain some understanding of Andrea's inspiring and courageous battle against cancer by going to http://andreaschaap.yolasite.com/guestbook-and-chat.php .
 
This is truly one of the hardest e-mails I have ever had to write. The curly horse world has truly lost a most loving, giving, thoughtful, and insightful person. Our loss is Heaven's gain.
