Diane and family. Bev and I were saddened to hear of Wendell's passing. We have many fond memories of visits to your place during our time at First Baptist in Lacombe. May you find comfort in the company of family and friends and may the peace of Christ sustain you through your loss and grief.

So sad to say Good Bye to our very dear friend Wendell, we loved Wendell and U. Our prayers and thoughts are with u and the whole family. We are always here for u if u need anything7

Roger and Loreen, seeing you yesterday created such a bright spot in my day, but I did wonder why the whole family was here on a school day. Now I understand, and we give you our sincere sympathy on loosing your Daddy, Loreen. This will leave such a big hole in your life and I know you will miss him terribly. Our only comfort is in knowing where he is right now, and that is such a precious thought. Thank you Loreen for stopping me yesterday, and I loved seeing your four beautiful kids! Roger, we have some great memories of our group travels, don't we? As I drove home I recalled the "big" one when God saved you from a terrible fall. Have you told your family that story? We have told it many times. The Angels were definitely watching over you that day, weren't they? I was so impressed with what a sweet looking pair you both are together - Loreen, you are beautiful and have such a sweet gentle look; while Roger, you have become a handsome young man! So again, many thanks for the lovely surprise visit, and our prayers will be with you today as you say Goodbye to your Daddy. May our Heavenly Father give you strength for the day. With our love, Ron and Dot

So sorry to hear of Wendell's passing. It was a long haul over the past number of months. I just thought of him this morning on my way to work and then got the newspaper today to see that he is now with the LORD!!! Thinking of you and praying for you as you grieve his loss. Blessings, Bev and Rick Koelwyn
