Our condolences to Judy and the children on the passing of of your husband and father. It is our prayer that you may find comfort and strength in God's love and grace. May His word renew you and give you strength in the days ahead. Psalm 62:8 Trust in Him at all times-pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.

Judy, Norman and Janet Noordhof here. Royce Boskers told us a while ago that Bill was not well, and now I noticed in the Edmonton Journal that his struggle is over. You and we were all part of the family back at Glad Tidings in the eighties, and so your names bring to mind a whole stream of wonderful memories. We just want to let you know that we are thinking of you again, after all these years, and praying that as the days and weeks go by, the peace of God will come to fill your hearts as you continue to put your hope in him who raised Christ from the dead, and who will also one day raise to new life the bodies of all those who live and die in Jesus Christ. And that includes Bill! Blessed promise!
