"To all of Dorothy's family, Dorothy was a very special lady. She and sister-in-law Gert sang at our dad's funeral way back in 1981 ("God Hath Not Promised" - at our request). They often sang together at that time and had wonderful voices. Joyce (Mellema) Uzel and Laura (Mellema) DeVries"

"Jan, Carol and families, we are so sorry for your loss. It's so difficult to say goodbye to a mother, grandmother. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I was able to visit with you Saturday, but concerns for my husband health are making me keep distance:( Hopefully we can connect soon and have real hugs and conversation."
