Not sure what to say?

As a family, we have lost our matriach. As a person, I have lost my guardian angel and confidant. She will never be forgotten in our thoughts and prayers. I hope her legacy will go on forever. She will always be in my heart.

Oma was one of the most courageous and caring women I know. She motivated me to try to excel in everything I did. She also taught me a lot about dealing with children that I hope to be able to use as I raise my own children.

Chris,Jacque & Boerma family,

Our thoughts & prayers go out to you in the lose of Jo. When I met her, she won my heart. Such a special little lady & she made you feel special.
We are thinking of you & your families.

Love Lynn, Galen & kids

My Oma was a very caring woman, who was gracious and open to everyone. She welcomed many people within her home and heart. Many will miss her, but all will be glad that she is in a better place! I will miss her greatly, and it is hard to say goodbye to such a wonderful person, but yet I am happy she has no more pain to go through!

You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. You will be greatly missed.

Oma was always caring and loving and made a large impact in my life. She will be missed.

Mom was a wonderful woman who knew the LORD and it was displayed in her life as she thought more about others than herself.

Thanks for all the years of sharing your love. You were my mother-in-law, 'adopted' mother, and my very best friend. Our families thought our 'shopping night' (usually 4-6 hours was just to shop. It wasn't. It was for sharing our thoughts, dreams, fears and so much more. I miss my time with you. Your memory will always live in my heart.

Love Bill

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
