Dear Reverend Buursma: Tena, my family and I want to express our sympathy to you and family in the loss of your beloved wife. We've always enjoyed your pastoral care which you carried out as a husband and wife team. Especially do we remember with deep appreciation and affection your sponsorship of our immigrant family, and not to forget your presence in August of 2007 at our 50th arrival celebration in the Indiana Dunes.

Bill and family: Our sympathy and prayers on the going home of Althea. Thank you for sharing the both of you at Ada CRC.You are loved.

Dear Bill, We were saddened to hear of Althea's passing. Not for Althea, because for her all is gain, but for you and your family the parting must be very difficult. Althea was so vibrant and her passing leaves a great emptiness. May our Father comfort you as only he can do. Love, Ben and Char Dykema
