Dear Mike, Pam,Mark, and David.
Bro. Rick Hazekamp just called about
you dad. I am so sorry to hear that,
but I am sure he is happy where he
is and with your mom. I know you will
miss them, as I miss mine. I catch
myself wanting to call momma and
tell her some news I have. And that
has been awhile. I know God will keep you safe in His care and will
surely sustain you, especially now.
Love to you all. Cousin Judy Mangine

From Steve, Brenda, Stacie & Jessica Tornga,

We're out in Boise, Idaho and the news of Uncle Frank's promotion into heaven is bittersweet. We'll miss hearing his laugh and the opportunity to visit with him, but we know he's enjoying his reunions with family and friends. We extend our sympathy to all of Uncle Frank's family and friends and wish we could be in Michigan for the funeral...but we can't. The Tornga family has enjoyed many great memories with Uncle Frank and Aunt June at the "cottage". All six of us "kids" learned to fish and to ski at Wolf Lake. They always made us feel welcome.

Another memory is the sleepless nights when the Kooi' clan would come over to play cards. The laughter shook the house and made appreciate their close friendship.

Good by, and God Bless...

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Frank achieved what many of us strive for, the world is a better place because he was here. I will miss him greatly.
