William Vriens Jr.

We worked will Bill & Heidi on the Deseret Foundation and loved and appreciated their service to the community. We were also so happy we were learned that they would be our oldest son´s mission leaders. Thank you, Bill, for being a fine man! We will miss you. Lynn & Becky Ames

Dear Heidi and Family, We just learned about Bill's passing and wanted to share our condolences and well wishes. What a wonderful person he was (as are you). All our love. The Lord Bless You and Keep You. Tony and Mary K Temple

The services today were beautiful. I certainly could feel the love for your father and grandfather in each of your talks. Know that your Dad was my favorite bishop I have ever had... so compassionate and broad minded with me. Loved him.

My deepest love and prayers are with the Vriens family during this time. I find comfort in the memory of the great example that both President and Sister Vriens set for me as a missionary. Their influence was profound and life-changing. I know God will confer true comfort upon all who feel this loss. Until we meet again. With love and gratitude, Matt Cottrell

Heidi: Seeing your husband's obituary brought back memories of long ago. The friendship of our mothers served as a backdrop to my friendship with your brother, Jay, on our missions in South Germany. I still remember your service at the reserve desk at the UofU library; it was always fun to interact with you there. About the only one of your neighbors I'm still in regular contact with is Bob Brinton who lost his wife, Marilyn, about three years ago. I hope the comfort and memory of your...

Thank you for your many years of friendship

I will always remember president Vriens as a loving, fatherly mission president. He had a big impact on my life as a missionary in Scotland. My love and condolences to sister Vriens and to all of their family.
