Not sure what to say?

Dear Ann, my condolences in Luke´s death. I know you two were so close. I hope your memories support you in the months ahead. .

We send our sympathy to you all. Many fine memories at the DIS events with your family. Blessings.

For years, Luke set everything up for our worship services at Woodlawn - making sure there were glasses of water at the pulpit, ensuring the deacons had sufficient bulletins, etc. Every Lent, Sunday by Sunday, he would carry the cross to the front of the church. His quiet faithfulness to all these tasks has always impressed me.

Always there was Luke ready and happy to help out with problems at the "house" and a cup of coffee with Dick!

Ann, we remember the many times you and your husband helped coordinate our trips with the DIS and also the fun times when choirs and bands came from the Netherlands! God bless and peace and sympathy to you and your family. Klaas and Betty DeJong

May he rest until that day, and may you feel God's presence as you mourn and remember.
