Dr. V was the doctor in my life to which I compare all others. Patient, calm, non-judgmental I always felt better after a visit with him.
I have thought of Dr. Veenstra many times over the years; you do that when a person has made an impact on your life in some way. Dr. Veenstra was there to assist my mother with the births of myself and my siblings. He was also there for the birth of my daughter. I continued to see him as my doctor until he retired. He was the caliber of doctor you wish would be here forever. My condolences to you and your family.
Dear Aunt Jan,
I'm so sorry for your loss. What a great husband, father, grandfather, Doctor, friend and the list goes on. I remember Uncle Bernie helping diagnose a knee problem I had at a family gathering in Minneapolis. He had the most caring eyes and peaceful demeaner. I will miss him and our prayers are with you and your family today.
Lovingly

Dear Judy,
So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I worked across the hall from Dr Veenstra's office back in the 70's before we moved upstairs to the bigger office. It is always tough to lose your family members. I am keeping you in my thoughts at this difficult time
Fondly,
Mary Marod
Dear Jan and family - please accept my deepest sympathy. It was a pleasure to make Bernie’s acquaintance. What a calm, unassuming and wise soul. I’m sending peaceful and comforting energy to surround you all. - Sheryl Netzler
What a rare man, Dr, friend, father, husband and Christian. He truly lived what he believed!! He delivered my second child as my Dr was out of town. My sympathy yo the family and may our Lord comfort each of you.
