Carol and Family,
I am so sorry, I just saw this this afternoon or I would have come to the service for your Dad. It's not easy losing a parent and I always loved being around your family. Such great memories. My prayers are with all of the Lubbers Family.

I first met Bill when I started with Chemagro and I always
looked forward to seeing him at our annual national sales
meetings. He was a great asset to the company.
