It is hard to believe it has been one year already since the Lord called you home Dr. Versendaal. Our lives have changes so much for having known you, an Angel. Your legacy lives on with Dawn & Bryan and the CRA Wellness family. We will all continue serving those who want help with health issues as you did so well with the love of the Lord as the guiding light. We miss you and love you and your example to us. We will carry on this amazing knowledge of truth on how the human body works and watch the miracles of CRA continue with you looking on from Heaven with a proud smile. Until all of our work here is done!

I remember back in late 80's and early nineties the excitement of going to many of Dr V's CRA seminars and spending hundreds of hours watching his seminars on tape. It was a lot of fun and I credit him with getting me started in muscle testing and nutrition which led to many yrs of helping others past and present. It takes a lot of courage, guts, hard work, and dedication to go on the road teaching.(having done this myself on a smaller scale). Dick did this week after week and touched the lives of thousands of patients and doctors! I will always have a special place in my heart for this man.

He generated a warm glow of health, certainty and love. He gave unconditionally to anyone seeking remedy. His style is unmatched by any other today.

Dear Dawn, Bryan and the whole Versendaal family,
May the angels surround you with God's loving comfort for your grief. Dr. Versendaal will always live in our hearts for being one of God's greatest mentors and teachers. He taught how to be professional, approachable, available and powerfully skilled at pulling people out of their lowest places into the light of healing. He didn't just talk a good game, he was the good game, healing himself with his own teachings and therefore showing us all to follow the divine maxim "physician, heal thyself". He also imparted confidence and courage, which I had little of when first learning CRA in the 1990's. I knew this amazing man's truth was the mission of a lifetime and an answer to my prayer to truly help people. His extra-ordinariness was in his extreme generosity to share his expertise. He truly put himself in full service to humanity. He even brought a colleagues' son with Muscular Dystrophy to live with him to put him on the road to healing. He also gave credit to the teachers and mentors he learned from. I am forever grateful for having been taught by him, he lives in my heart forever and I will keep his work alive every day as I have always done. He exemplified integrity. What a wonderful legacy. He is a superhero.

What a kind and great man .My deepest condolences to his family and his son who I use to call occasionally back in the 90's to get information on seminars . chris DeMeritt OR

My thoughts and prayers go out to you Dawn (we met at Dr. V's seminars with Standard Process), and all of your family. Your father was one of a kind...brilliant, charismatic, colorful, funny and deeply caring and dedicated. I first met him in Los Angeles at a CRA seminar in the early 1990's. I learned so much from him. I visited him in Florida and last saw him at a seminar in LA a few years ago. Four of us went to dinner after the seminar that night and we had a great time. He would always answer my calls and offer his help in difficult cases. He was amazing and his passing was, and still is a shock. I will always remember him and his contributions to how I treat and care for my own patients. I send prayers of peace to all of his family and give thanks for having known, learned from and spent time with such a remarkable and unique man.

Dawn & Brian, We have know Dr. Versendaal since the early 1990's. He was an awesome teacher and caring special friend. He helped me and my family through many trying times, including the loss of my first husband to cancer. We also appreciated the love and care he has shown my son Ryan Snopl, for the last few years. I felt privileged to be on many of his videos in previous years and work side by side with him at so many seminars. He will be remembered for his compassion, kindness and the very giving person he was! We learned so much! He will be missed immensely. Our love and compassion is sent to you!

Hi Dawn and Bryan,
I was so shocked and saddened by the news. Words can't describe. I always knew this day would come, but didn't expect it so soon, so suddenly.
We were all so blessed to be touched and educated by him.
He taught me what it meant to really be a doctor. He was always so caring and compassionate, and you knew his only mission was to help people.
I talked with him so often as many did. He always called me his "Long lost son". I will honor him by continuing his work to the best of my ability and try to help as many people as possible.
He will be missed! But somehow I know I
will always hear from him.
God bless you and your family

I've known Dr V the last 28 years and his teaching have influenced my life everyday since. I had the the great honor to host Dr V one time in my home as he cared for patients. I asked him how I could be praying for him and he said" pray for the work, that it continues, evolves and blesses". He was a mentor and friend and nurtured like a father. Thanks to the family who shared him. Our prayers for your peace and comfort during this difficult time Love ,Dr. Mark Hutsell

I met Dr. Versendaal in the early 90's when taking his seminars. He came to my office to test my patients, and He made house calls to my father In Boca Raton, after he suffered adverse reactions to the flu shot. I was grateful for that. I contacted him many times in Michigan and he always took my calls. I will always remember his kindness, and passion for what he believed.

Dr. V has always been a God sent blessing in my life! Not only did he bless everyone around him, but he honored God and gave him the glory at all times!
Dr. V taught me to use my gifts in ways that I never thought would be possible. It was through his fatherly guidance and stern teachings that I have become the doctor I am today!
I know you are with our Father in heaven and I will still be seeing and hearing your fatherly words of wisdom from within.
As God promises,you live on in spirit with him, and I will listen as you and he guide me in my daily life. I will continue to honor your teachings,words of wisdom, and blessings you've shared.
May God's hands hold and comfort all of you during this time and give you strength to know that your father(brother,grandfather,uncle), is continuing his work with God above,as they watch over you daily.
Love and God Bless Always,
Cheri

A Wonderful Man and Inspiration
Attended many of his seminars and purchased videos and my daughter remembers watching them with me. She can still quote them.

Dr. Versendaal was a wise man and I learned many things from him over the years at his CRA seminars! When my daughter was an infant she vomited each night between 11pm and 1am for a couple of weeks. She showed no signs of health issues any other time. I called Dr. Versendaal and after I described the problem, he immediately said check her gallbladder reflex with CRA. Much to my amazement, it was active and I gave my daughter crushed up Standard Process A-F Betafood in her bottle. After one day she stopped vomiting. It wasn't until years later that I learned that in acupuncture the 12 main meridians are each active for 2 hours...and the gallbladder meridian is active between. 11pm and 1am. Dick knew a lot and how to merge various bodies of knowledge together to help people with health challenges. Because of Dick I have been able to help hundreds of patients over the last 30 years! Godspeed Dr. Versendaal and thank you for all you've done to make this world a better place!

I never had the good fortune to meet this man, however, he was a blessing to my mother and to my sister. He was able to diagnose and treat a long time condition that baffled many other doctors. May he rest peacefully, and may his family find comfort in their memories of him.

Dr. V was such an inspiration to all who knew the man. He was an angel who was here to teach us all how to live life as God wanted us all to live. What a wonderful role model. We will miss him, but we know he will always be a part of us. We feel so fortunate to have known him. I'm sure he is still doing God's work only now from heaven. May God continue to watch over Dr. V's family, friends and patients and give us all strength to carry on his love.
May God Bless Dr. V

I talked with Dr. Versendaal for the first time in January of this year. He helped me with what I needed, to recover from serious back problems. In just these few months since I talked with him, I have noticed great improvements in my physical well being. He made such a difference in my life and my heart is broken over his passing. He will truly be missed and forever remembered.
To Dr. Versendaal's family:
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is with you all. May it comfort you to know that he is in a better place and that we will all see him again soon. God be with you all.
Sincerely,
Amanda

Dr. Versendaal was my mentor. Because of him, my life was changed, and he helped me change the lives of my patients. He was always only a phone call away to encourage and direct. It was so reassuring to look into his smiling face and see his sparkling eyes and talk clinical or just visit. I know God doesn't make any mistakes, but this world and the countless doctors and people who never knew Dr. Versendaal, have missed a giant of a man. I consider it a privilege to have called him my friend and teacher.
Please know Dawn and Bryan I pray for peace in the midst of this storm for your hearts.I love you. Dr. Mary Peters
