I am so sorry to read this news, Mark and Stephanie. Your mom was always so kind and such a faithful supporter of our music program at JCS. Thank you for sharing her with us. Our prayers will be covering you and your entire family in this new journey. Weeping for you. Rejoicing for her.

Marv and family, we remember Dee with fond hearts. She was a really good organist; we listened to her for many years at Cutlerville East church. And we remember the times that our young sons sat with you on a Sunday morning, Marv, when Thea taught Children's worship and Dee and I were in choir.
We pray that God will go with Marv and children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as you lay your dear one to rest.

To the family of Dee TeSlaa - I had the pleasure of working with Dee for about 7 years at Pine Rest and she always had a smile on her face. I didn't work in the office daily but when I stopped in Dee always had a smile and would ask me how I was doing. I am blessed to say that I knew Dee and she was an amazing woman. My heart breaks for her husband and family. She is now with Christ and will watch over those who love her. Thoughts and prayers are with you daily.

Marv & family, So saddened to hear of your loss. After all our years together at the body shop, I've come to love you as a father. I witnessed your love for Dee and your family first hand,so I know the hole in your hearts is huge, I pray God will comfort you with His grace, and give you the peace only He can provide.

We join with others in giving thanks to God for the life and vibrant Christian witness of Mrs. TeSlaa. We pray that all who mourn her death may find hope and comfort in her--and our--Lord's promises: "His loved ones are precious to Him; He does not lightly let them die." (Psalm 116.15)

Rod, Since I remember you from many years ago, it is saddening as an RN to read of the loss of your mother. May you and your family find some portion of comfort in the words and actions of others in this season of grief. May, by God's grace, time's passing bring healing to your hearts. It sounds like your mother was energetic and talented. She must have been a bright portion of Christ's presence in her corner of the world. I'm sure that she touched many lives.

Remember Mr. and Mrs. TeSlaa as Marks number# fan at baseball games when our son was playing at UCHS. Such devoted parents. Great example to us as parents. Our sincere sympathy to your family. John and Donna Heuker

Deepest Sympathy to you all, my heart goes out to you. Marv is my 2nd cousin, although we weren't close I've seen and spoke with him several times at Godwin Body Shop. Although I never met Dee, I wish I would have, she sounds like an extraordinary woman. I will keep the TeSlaa family in my thoughts and prayers.

Dee was such a special lady. She always took time to talk with you. I don't remember how old I was but she asked me at church what hymn I liked. I told her it was , Abide with me. That following Sunday she played it before church started. She found me after church and said , that was for you. Such a sweet lady.
