    Dear Fanny & Family:
    We just today heard from a sister in the Netherlands that your husband and father passed away in October, which explains the lateness of our condolence. But we still want to express our sincere sympathy to you in his passing. Case was a man of faith with a love for the Lord and for his church, and of course for his wife and family. We know that your comfort is in knowing that he is now safe in the arms of his Savior, the Lord Jesus.
    We still remember your visit in 2005 here in Holland, MI, when you also visited my brother Clarence who was dying of cancer. Your visit was a great comfort to Clarence.
    We lived across the street from the Kuipers family in Zuidwolde, and Case’s father, Mr. Jans Kuipers, visited with my father every weekend since they were both widowers. Mr. Kuipers was very good for my Dad with his positive outlook on life, since my Dad had become depressed after my mother died.
    We wish you the Lord’s richest blessings and his abiding comfort in days to come.
    Sincerely,
    Art & Anita S.
