Joseph Ypma

I wish we could have spent more time together! But Im so happy that God did give me the
Opportunity To meet and spend some time together, dad and I love family and so wanted to visit in the summer, but he and uncle Joe passed away before we got the chance to come back up there . We will see each other again in heaven .

I met Joe last year on a mission trip, and I am very thankful that God made our paths cross. Joe had such a clever sense of humor, and he showed us younger guys what hard work looked like! But most important, it was obvious that Joe saw the world through Our Savior's eyes. What an amazing man. I'm sure his homecoming with Jesus was really something. I look forward to seeing Joe again someday.

Sandy and Family: I learned a lot about Joe yesterday that I didn't know! I enjoyed every second of the photo presentation...it was beautifully done. I can honestly say I've never been to a more precious, God-honoring memorial service than Joe's. I'm honored to have been a part of it. God bless each one of you!

Sandy and family, My sincere sympathy to you all. I will miss him terribly, but I have lots of memories as do you, that will help some. I remember his singing- at the church picnics- especially "Sleeping at the foot of the bed" He always had a great big hug whenever I saw him. At Dad's 100th birthday party- I'll never forget how Dad rallied and said "Joe" with a big smile, when Joe greeted him. He had hardly uttered a word that day. I know he is enjoying himself with all his friends who have...

Kim,I'm sorry for you and your family's loss.

Aunt sandy, I am so sorry to hear about Joe. Its only for a short time and we will see him again. We love you and may God bless you and help you in your grief,
Love Sharon
