Dear Don, Jim, Tim, and Dan,
I'm so sorry about Burnie. I have so many great memories of her. I can't think about my childhood without thinking about her and all of you. We spent so much time together. I'm praying for all of you that the Lord will give you strength throughout the coming days.
Love,
Mindy
Dear Don and family,
We are sending our love and praying for you. Burnie was a lovely, gentle lady and will be missed by the Peterman family. We thank God for the many years of friendship with Mom and Dad and after 1980, Mom and Jim. Mom especially enjoyed walking on the beach with Burnie in Florida, but they did lots of fun things together. God bless you for your faithfulness in taking care of her, Don, and may He bless your entire family as you grieve and celebrate her homegoing. Love, Jeanie and Dan Herlein
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
Our Sympathy to the Westra family
Jerry and Dawn Prince
Thinking of the Westra family, she was a beautiful woman and I will never forget her grace and that lovely smile. You are in my prayers.

Don, Jim, Tim and Dan, My thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of sadness and loss. I have many fond memories of growing up with the Westra boys in the 60's. The blessing is that Bernie and Tom are together with many of our family and friends in Heaven! Jerry Peterman
