Dear Postma Family, Praying for you all as you grieve the loss of your wife, mom and friend to many. We ask Our Lord to hold you close during this time and bless you knowing she is in the arms of Jesus.🙏

— Ron and Barb Leunk

Her smile and laugh will never be forgotten. I hold dear memories of her amazing talent in card playing, 4th of July fun, and her ability to hold her own with my dad- a feat of wonder- they're laughing about it in Heaven right now. My husband, kids, and I hold you all in prayer, and I send a special hug of love to you Mr. Postma- wish I could give it in person, Betsy.
