Not sure what to say?

We had a lot of good times golfing!

Another memory that I have fond memories of...
T.A.C.U (Teens and Christ United) bike trips. He would drive the van and pull the bike trailer behind the bike riders. He would cheerfully pick up too tired riders and they could take a ride in the van to rest and then later unload to let the rider do more biking. I remember his C.B. name was "wendy".
A fabulous memory of riding up to Gaylord and the stops along the way!
May you all have family memories and be blessed by...

Mrs. Gebben and family,
May God's peace be your comfort in this time of loss. Many great memories of Boston Square CRC and Pastor Gebben's Catechism classes! Hello to Cheryl, Kathy, and Phil and their families!
With sympathy and fond memories,
John Kruithof, Grand Rapids, MI.

We are so sorry that we can not make the service. Our heart goes out to you, Dawn, and our prayers are with you! Glady & Fred Van Swol

Dear Dawn & family, we have fond memories of our time in Sheboygan under the teaching/preaching of Pastor Wendell. We share in the sorrow of losing someone we love and yet the joy of knowing he is with Jesus. May you know the comfort of the love of our heavenly Father.

So sorry to hear of Pastor Wendell passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. We shared raising our children while at Muskegon Heights CRC, and enjoyed so many of Wendell's sermons, can still remember some of them. So thankful he went quickly, but very difficult for family. I share in your sorrow.

Dearest Aunt Dawn,
I am so sorry for your loss. Uncle Wen will be greatly missed. I have fond memories as a child going and doing things with Uncle Wen , You and your children. I am sorry I am unable to attend the funeral. But please know that You and the family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Now we have one more angel watching over us from above. Love You

Dear Dawn,
Jerry and I were in attendance on Sunday night. We stayed to pray for Wendell and your family. May the peace, comfort and strength of the Holy Spirit abound. We rejoice with you that he is now face to face with His God and Savior. Shalom,
Jerry and Christine Mulka
