Read MoreI will never forget camping with Mr. Gootjes at the Conference Grounds, Lincoln Lake, and one rain soaked week at Lake Leelenau. He was always in a great mood (even when it rained all week). I know he will be missed greatly.

Kees will be greatly missed! I learned an important life lesson from him, since I started attending church at East Paris C.R.C., which was that not matter what happens in life that you do not have to grumble and complain, but instead to just smile about it and be thankful for the love of the Lord! I will truly miss seeing His smile on Sunday mornings!
