To the entire immediate and extended family of Mr. Marten VanEyk we are so sorry he is no longer physically with us. He was the friendliest and nicest neighbor anyone could ask for. Very helpful and easy to talk to. Loved his family. We will miss his spirit and conversations. Michael and Nichole Johnson

Dear Dianne, I was very sorry to hear that you recently lost Marten until your reunion in Glory. More than twenty years ago, we taught together at Wedgewood. When I retired, Marten created a beautiful wooden wall hanging using Ephesians 4:11 especially for me. I treasure it and the memories of those years working side by side. With prayers for you and your family, Karyl Mangus
