Rev. Pieter Heerema
I extend my sincere sympathies to the family and all who mourn.
I served as Evelyn's pastor for about 10 years. I enjoyed our meetings and conversations.
At one point she asked if she could join my pastor's class. I told that she was very welcome but that most students would be teenagers. She joined the class and was a wonderful asset to the class.
May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.
Dear Robin and Family,
"Weeping endures the night but Joy comes in the morning." You have lived through your time of weeping. My hope is that your gatherings and remembrance of your mother will be joy filled and without pain.
Blessings
Rev. Cheryl
