Dear Van Leeuwen family, I am so sorry for your loss of your mom and dad. I was just in the Grand Rapids area and was planning to try to visit them this week. You dad was such a good friend to my father Glenn. I will never forget how your mom took care of me when my mother passed. I will treasure the memories of spending time at your house and the cabin with your parents and Kenny. With love, Lorie

Dear Van Leeuwen family: What a dear and precious mom you were blest with! Such a sweet and giving lady. She and your dad were so faithful in helping out with our Friendship group. Your great loss is her gain - seeing her Lord and Savior face to face and being reunited with your dad and other siblings - may that thought bring you comfort and peace amid your sorrow. Prayers for all of you. With love, Dave & Marcia Vander Ploeg
