Dear Katsma and Dornbos families, Thinking of you as you mourn the passing of your father and grandfather. The man with the candy in his pockets will surely be missed. In Christian sympathy, Carlos and Laurie Caceres

Rick and Karen, and the rest of the family, you have my sympathies. Russ was a sweet, gentle man and will be sorely missed, just as Mollie is missed still. Praying for you as you grieve, that our Lord will comfort you and give you His peace and strength. Virtual hugs...
