Mrs. Van Lierop, I was saddened to hear of Mr. Van Lierop's passing when you called today. I will certainly miss seeing him, but I'll also miss your telephone calls! You two were such an inspiration for all married couples. Such a pleasure to see! My thoughts are with you. Michelle (from SJHC)

My deepest sympathies to the Van Lierop family at the loss of their father whom I always referred to as "Pa". Just a few years ago, my dear friend Sylvia VanLierop-Dixon passed away and now her father has gone to join her in heaven. Sending big hugs to my dear "Ma" VanLierop, one of the strongest women I know; and to Joannie Cramer-Van Lierop, Jeff, & John, their spouses, David Dixon and all the grandkids. My memories of your Dad are with him always smiling and cracking some great one-liners. I always felt like one of the family in your home, a place full of love and joy, and my heart breaks for all of you. You are in my prayers and thoughts, with love and sympathies. xo
