Not sure what to say?

Sorry to see mention of Peter's passing in the Spark. Peter and I knew each other through our 4 years together at Calvin and were roommates along with Gary, Kees, John, Jerry our Junior and Senior years.

Dear Penny
I am so sorry to hear about Peter's passing. He was our family Dr. for a long time and was Ron's Dr. at the VA for a long time. I don't know if you remember me but I worked with your at Broodside School. You are in my prayers at this difficult time. Ron passed in 2013 so I am alone now too.
Love

Penny and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss.My thoughts and prayers are with you. Sue Cross

I am sad to hear that Peter passed away. I'll always remember him with that smile each time I met him at the clinic's hallway. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

I WORK WITH DR Vandehaar FOR several years we had our up;s and downs but he was a good and caring Dr. and he will be missed

Penny, I am so sorry to hear of Peter's demise. My sincere sympathy and prayers go to you and your family.

I worked with Dr. VandeHaar for nearly 20 years at the VA Outpatient Clinic. He taught me many things from time to time which I then passed on to our patients. He had a unique sense of humor and was a pleasure to know. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.

We are so sorry to hear of Peter's passing.
May you be comforted with God's peace . We will keep you all in our prayers . Sincerely,
Betsy and Dick Granse

Peter was such a kind and generous man. He will be greatly missed. Prayers to all who are mourning the loss of this gentle giant. Penny, Mark, and family....May God give you HIS peace and comfort at this time.
