My sincere sympathies to Catherine's family. I had the privilege of working with her and Lori at the Allendale Nursing Home. I always thought of Catherine as such a kind and gentle person. At the time I worked with her I also worked with Ev Geurink, Verna Glass, Trena Bosch, and some I have forgotten..such good memories..May God grant you comfort at this time and hold you close to Him..Sincerely, Rebecca (Greep) Forist, Cumings

Joan and I would like to extend our condolences in the passing of Aunt Catherine. She was such a dear aunt to me and I still remember the thrill when I was a kid of going out to the big house in Allendale "way out in the country". Due to illness we cannot attend, but please know that we are in prayer for the family in your time of grief, and pray God's comfort on all of you. Heaven has a new angel! Jerry and Joan VanderLugt

My deepest sympathies to the Vander Lugt family. I used to work at Harlo Corp. in Grandville, Mi. and Fred was my foreman for many years. He always talked so lovingly of his wife and kids and grandkids,. My heart goes out to all of you. I am so very sorry for you loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May your tears of grief soon fade to happy memories and may the happy memories live on forever. Sincerely, Bonnie DeVries Wyoming. Mi. Bonnie DeVries
