Shirley enjoyed being part of the Pease Church. A special “Thank you” to Pastor Michael for all he has done and for visiting Shirley when she was in Milaca Elim. Thank you to the funeral team too for all your hard work. We are truly blessed to be part of the Pease church family.” Kevin and Kristi Santema and Family “We would like to express our sincere thanks for the many heartfelt thoughts, cards and flowers that we received following the sudden death of our dad. The trees purchased and planted from the Guatemala team are a special gift. We also appreci-ate those who contributed food and served at the luncheon. Memorial money contributed on Dad’s behalf will be shared between the Guatemala Action Project, Community Christian School in Pease, Sutton Christian School in Nebraska and the local Amish school. Dad was a blessing and a great example for all of us and it is a comfort to know that he touched so many lives; we know he will be greatly missed. Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.” Terri, Judy, Bruce, Kathy and families “Words cannot express how thankful we are to you, our church family, for all your expressions of love shown to our families in the loss of our brother, uncle and friend. Thank you for your prayers, visits, phone calls, cards, hugs, words of comfort and all the wonderful food brought to our homes. Thanks to Pastor Michael for his visits and comforting words. What a blessing it is to be a part of such a loving and caring church family.” Louise Spoelstra & family; Karen & Duane Bouma & family “Thank You so much for your love, care and concern for us during these past few weeks. Thank you for visits at our home, and for all the good food that was brought in. Thank you for the many prayers on our behalf. We thank our Heavenly Father each day for sparing Jim's life as well as other family members of Warren. As we try to understand Warren's death, Isaiah 55:8-9 comes to our minds: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the Lord. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Jim and Joanne Vedders
