Dear Leestma Family,
My heart grieves with you at your loss and I pray God's comfort and peace be yours. I have many good memories of Carl as we worked together at Baxter Community Center. He was always willing to help. He smiled a lot and often a joke to tell me. I miss him even more now. May God's grace be with all of you. Henry Salley

My prayers are with you. Mr. Leetsma was my favorite teacher at Wyoming Park High. Even after I graduated I always visited him while he and I were still working at Park. I was very sorry to hear about such a great loss.

My sympathy and prayers to the Leestma family. Mr. Leestma was one of my favorite teachers throughout high school and made such a positive influence in my life. I still have the projects that we made together in shop class. He will always be fondly remembered.

My condolences to the Leestma Family.
I met Carl during the time that he worked at Baxter Community Center. He spoke often of his many year of teaching, building beautiful pieces from wood, his loving family and his faith in God.
May God grant you peace during these difficult times.
