Since Tuesday, a memorial spot has been set up in the Albert Heijn with a condolence book. The book is being written on an ongoing basis. From long personal stories to short messages. “I write in it that it is quiet here without her,” says a customer who had seen Karin for about forty years. “You really notice it. It’s too quiet.”

A sweet woman with instructions for use

Karin had her heart in the right place, say several customers of the supermarket, “but she did have instructions for use.” “She was special and could also grumble,” someone says about the cashier. “Sometimes you didn’t know whether she was angry, grumpy or sweet. Either way, we are going to miss her.” “It’s a great loss,” said another. “Not only for the store, but also for the neighborhood.”
