Our deepest sympathy to Bea from one of her son´s friends from Taylor University. Her generous hospitality at the cottage was very much appreciated. God bless the Grotenhuis and Zylstra families.

To the family of Aunt Bea. She will always be remembered for her sweet spirit, her laugh and her extreme generosity. She was a very smart woman who knew what she wanted and how to lead. We loved her for who she was and knew that she loved us as well. Our prayers go with each of you as you begin to realize a "new" normal and rejoice in the fact that she is finally "home". We will meet again sooner than we realize but know that you are loved and prayed for.
