To the Osterink family, My sincere sympathy goes out to you all in your loss of your mother and grandmother. She was indeed an inspiration to me and many others, she had a very keen sense of wittiness and sharp mind. I will miss her standing at the door waving goodbye to me each time I left after cleaning her condo. We do rejoice in the fact that she is now Home and we can look forward to seeing her again and all our loved ones who have gone on before including my dear parents. My prayers are with you. Sincerely, Wilma Nyburg (Wulfsen)

Dear Lloyd and Crys, I know how much it hurts to lose a mom no matter and how old they are. I know this is such a hard time for you. But she has gone to a far better place and you will see her again. The angels rejoiced seeing another saint come home to the Saviors loving arms and embracing her. What a glorious home coming! We have that to look forward too. I will pray for comfort daily. This isn't a good bye, It's an " I'll see you again Mom. " Your sister in Christ, Lori
