Sorry that we are out of town and can not make it to the service. I give all of you kids my sincere condolences in the passing of our father. Uncle Elm was my favorite uncle. When I was a small kid he always called me "Stub" and I loved it!! Your Dad use to pick me up and take me on trips with his semi. We would even stay over night on some of the trips. I use to work on the farm with him both at Grandpa's house and at the farm in Drenthe. My prayers and thoughts will be with you on Tuesday. May God give each of you Grace to bear your burdens. Love, Ed and Virginia Hoezee 8619 South Dorsey Park Rd Empire, Mi 49630 (our summer home)
