Dear Donna and family,
Joyce and I are so sorry to hear of Jerry’s passing. We can never truly be prepared for the loss of a loved one, husband/parent, regardless of what we think we know, as we consider them to be with us always.
Although it seems like Jerry was too young, he obviously lived a full life with Christ at his side, as he did receive his three score and ten when many don’t.
Please accept our sincerest condolences.
It must have helped greatly for you to be at his side, in his own home, when he took his last breathe, just as he had wished for during his last hours.
Joyce and I enjoyed the many get together’s that we had over the years and we too will miss him dearly.
We will include your and yours in our prayers.
May God be with you all, always.
Love
Ross and Joyce
To quote from Solomon, one of the wisest men who ever lived;
Eccl 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken
at the cistern. (Or when we die)
Eccl 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the
spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
A quote form Paul, one who truly loved our Saviour;
2 Cor 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2 Cor 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2 Cor 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Donna and family , we are very sad to hear the news. Jerry was a wonderful person an I will really miss his visits with me as he took his strolls , he has touched our lives in the brief time we knew him. May God Bless and comfort your family at this time. Brent Deb and kids

Hi Donna and family,
Wishing God’s nearness and His strength in these difficult days.
Love, Gerry Feddema
Donna & Family:
Our hearts and prayers go out to you at your loss. From the days of his deliveries to Somerville Packaging to his attendance in the pew, he had a quiet presence, a good presence. As he now rests with God, may you also find ‘rest’ with God and experience his peace.
My prayers are with the entire Kuiken family. Jared could not have said it any better Roger and at such a young age. It is so reasuring when there is so much faith.
My deepest sympathies to Donna, Trudy, and Roger. Bruce Parker
