Dear Mr. Van Rees,
It is with sadness that I write this email, recalling all of the fun we had as kids camping, enjoying occasional picnics, and family visits to our/your house on Sundays after church. I recall the kind smile, and great, hearty laugh of Mrs. Van Rees. I cannot remember where I helped volunteered with a children's camping experience one summer, but I can remember her great smile and generous laugh she shared that entire week.
I remember even the little things like her lining up the Calvinettes on Calvinette Sunday at East and singing faithfully in East's Choir. Caring, kind, love of community, love of life. Those God-given gifts are what I will always remember in the gift of her life.
Blessings to you and your family.##imported-begin##Jim Veurink##imported-end##
