Dear Joyce, it's hard to find words, I keep thinking we are all suppose to grow really old together! This seems too soon! I am so sorry Jim is gone. Oh, What would we do without our Lord and that wonderful place He is preparing for us! When we all get to heaven what a glory that will be! When we all see Jesus, we'll sing and shout the victory! If not before, I'll see you then!!! God bless!

Sending our love and prayers on your huge loss. God has been there for you in the past and He will not fail you in the hard days ahead. Fond memories of him at Allendale Reformed Church.

Joyce,
I am very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. You said at the reunion last year he was having a lot of problems. I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and how much I enjoyed knowing Jim. Nice of you to put in a plug for Hudsonville basball.

Joyce, we send our sincere sympathy in the passing of Jim.Jim was devoted to the National Guards.
You are always remembered when we talk about good times at Bauer El. both as a classmate and later a parent. i also want to send my best to AJ and Laura. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Joyce, we send our deepest sympathy as we learned of Jim's passing just today. You two were such a great couple, and you were pretty close to being considered an alumna of our class since you helped him so much in our class reunion a few years ago. Love and prayers for you and your family

Joyce, we are truly saddened by the loss of Jim. I was privileged to have known and served with him. He leaves a legacy of devoted service to his country, state and fellow soldiers. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Colonel Klynstra will be greatly missed by the Selective Service System and Region I where he served as Michigan State Director. He was one of best and was key to the passing of Drivers License Legislation in Michigan and always ensured the State was ready for any National Emergency. He was a leader and the ultimate professional. Your country thanks you for your dedicated service. God Bless you and your entire family.

Joyce and family...
It was a shocking bit of news to hear of Jim's death. We remember him as quiet and soft spoken. Always a professional, his contributions to the military were valuable as well as his outlook on life in general. We are privileged to have shared a portion of this with him. May you find comfort knowing how well respected Jim was. He will surely be missed.
