Into eternity, I will remember Harvey and Lorraine Davelaar, as two wonderfully committed Christians, who showed Jesus' love and friendship to me while at the old Calvary Reformed Church, in the 50's and 60's. Their service to the Lord's people has left an indelible mark. As we sang each Sunday evening, "He lives, He lives, you ask me how I know He lives?? He lives within my Heart. Eternal love and blessings to the family.
