Dear Zondervan Family, I was so shocked when I woke up to my family text that Aunt Nancy had passed away, and I’ve been thinking of each you all often. I’m so very sorry for your loss, and I’m sending prayers of peace and love to you all. This has been bringing up a lot of memories of playing Nintendo at the Jenison house, and camping at Pioneer! Though I’m far away, please know that I’m holding you close in my heart. My sincere condolences... Love Eric

Dear John and families: I'm very sorry for your loss of Nancy. Her dad, Bill, lived next door to us on High St. Later on, John & Nancy were in Jenison where I knew them. My husband, Harm, passed away over a year ago and I have empathy for you, John. Take care of yourself and may God give you comfort.
