Dear Dorothy and Susan & family,

My deepest sympathies to you both and to your families. I only have met Uncle Harry a few times but remember him as a loving man, and one that always had humor. I just remember him saying to me one time that I saw him, it was at his sister Anna's wake.(I am her grand-daughter, John and Annette Boersma's youngest daughter.) He said to me, "Hey kid how are ya? You still are a pretty little kid!" But I was 26 at the time! But that is ok! I will truely miss him, along with the rest of the wonderful Kampenga's that I so dearly loved. Gods blessings and love to you all during this time and may God keep you all in his tender loving care. God Bless!!!
