Van Dinther family,
My sympathies are with you. I know it's hard to say"goodbye" on earth, even though we have the assurance of a reunion in heaven.
May the Lord bless you with good memories and His peace.

Dear Betty,

I am sorry to hear that you have lost your faithful husband. I and many others have lost a dear friend.
He was the only one who regularly called me "LJ." His sense of humor was very welcome at our Consistory meetings.

May God wrap His arms around you now and always.

The one thing I will always remember about you, Uncle Frank, is how you would sing out "Hey, Jude!" almost every time you saw me. I remember with fondness the get- togethers after church almost every Sunday at our house for coffee. Those were indeed great memories of my childhood. I'm so glad you were a part of them. With lots of love, your niece, Judy

To all The Van Dinthers: Just wanted to say I'm sorry about Frank. He was a neighbor on Maple Lane for many years and I was friends with Martha many years ago.
My mom Vi Dugo died April 1st so I
know how hard it is but my thoughts
are with you all.
