Not sure what to say?

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I worked with Dr Mensink at the Heart Hospital but he wasn´t just a colleague, he was a friend. He wrote me a letter of reference for nurse practitioner school. Every time he saw me, he hugged me and we always had things to say to each other.

Dr. Mensink was one of our (and I'm sure a lot of other folks) favorite people on this earth. He had a wonderful loving spirit and such a happy demeanor. God's speed dear friend.

I served with dr Mensink in Adventist executive committee Dr mensink was always very involved and have lots of creative suggestions May god bless his soul
