Tribute Messages

Leave Your Tribute
We are thankful and blessed to know Tillie and John. Her determination to attend church services at Cottonwood is inspiring and we were honored to bring her there until she could no longer get into our vehicle. She always had a smile when I met her in the hallways of Sunset, even when she couldn’t say anything, she always smiled.

— Randy and Sandy Langeveld

Many years ago, Doug and John served in the Cadet program together which meant Tillie and I did our fair share also (specifically helping with the famous light bulb sale). She was a very dedicated fan of Cadets, faithfully working along side John for many years. She was a sweet lady.

— Doug and Laurie Nedehood
