Dear Mr. Van Tatenhove & family:
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of "Mrs. Van". She was one of my most favorite teachers and one that I've always remembered. She was a kind person and well respected teacher.

Dear brother Fred,
I heard about your wife's passing at the CAPS conference. I send you my sincerest and deepest solidarity with you, and pray for your physical, spiritual, and emotional healing over this terrible loss in your life.
Just a personal note: my wife was just diagnosed this weekend with an aggressive type of breast cancer, and we're currently in the throes of getting a treatment protocol set up.
I think back to those days at IOWA when we were in the Ph.D program together, and the good times we had talking about our educational and theological struggles.
Please feel free to interact by email. I'd love to hear from you.
Nils

Deepest sympathy to Mrs. Van Tatenhove's family.
Just wanted to share that Mrs. V. will always stand out in my memory as a wonderful teacher who helped me feel comfortable as a "new kid" coming into her class in the middle of the year. Her kind way and her encouragement to grow and learn made a big impression on me as a 4th grader. Comfort and Blessings to you all, Anne (Gardner) Gibson
