Karen & Kathy & all family members: So sad that you have lost your dad, especially after just losing your uncle. We lost my day about 1 1/2 yrs ago and we still miss him terribly, as you will yours. Take comfort in special memories and seek God's comfort in the days ahead. Gale Javers Wray

Dear Ann and family:
Our deepest sympathies to you and your family in the death of George. George was such a godly man - in all areas of his life - his church, his business and his family. Don so appreciated having him on consistory when we served in Inwood. George was open to new ideas, as well as maintaining the old ones as long as the Word was preached and the Lord was glorified. Ann, I loved our coffee get togethers when I worked at the hardware store. Oh the laughs we had. Our love, prayers and lots of hugs are with you at this time. Remember, it's not goodbye - but see ya later! <3

My sympathy goes out to the Halma family. George and Anna were a presence in my life from an early age, when my sister and i used to run around with Barb and Mary. He was strict and loving all in the same way. The stableness we found when we visited or stayed overnight was what we needed in our life as ours was quite the opposite. I will always remember his views and beliefs are what gave me a lasting "faith" impression, tho at the time i may not have known it, but know for a fact it steered me in the right direction now. For that i will always remember George and the family for being there for us, supporting us and believing in us. Again - my deepest condolences.
