Linda Marie Van Klompenberg

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family at this time of sorrow. You have our sympathies.

My prayers go out to the whole family. Linda was a good listener--always asking questions, always trying to understand ideas and people who were not like her. I admire her a lot for that. When she talked to me, I always felt validated and important. I'm sure others felt the same way.
Yesterday in church we sang, "We'll join the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all. It hit me that Linda is now with that everlasting throng. Our minister preached on Christian humility. Linda had that--not thinking she knew everything but open to the wonder of this world and the wonder of God himself. She walked in the world lightly and was a light to others because of her stance of wonder at all God could do and be on earth and in heaven. While I did not always agree with her, I always respected her. She was good to Ron and for that I will always be grateful. She made a difference in the world. I watched the service on live stream--there was so much love in that room. You have my sympathy.
