Condolence: My condolences to the Fakkema family. I have fond memories of Mr. Fakkema when I was over at his house, hanging out with Renae. The things he put up with while Renae and I were just being the teenage girls that we were. He and his wife were also a great influence to me at our church. I pray for God's peace and loving arms to surround this family especially during this difficult time.

Condolence: I am praying for you to get through this time with the peace that comes from the knowledge that God loves you and that He will take care of you.
I believe that John is enjoying being home with Jesus. He will be missed for now, but we will see him soon.
I loved John as if he were my own father. I will greatly miss our morning conversation, and especially the hugs each morning before coffee with his friends at Arby's. He will be missed daily.
