I'm sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of having Mr Velema as a teacher. He's a great man that inspired and supported many people! May his inspiration live on through his family and all of the students he taught.

Claire and family. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Joe's passing. My thoughts are with all of you at this very difficult time.
I have fond memories of Joe throughout the last thirty years I have known him. Joe and I worked together putting on my very first auction.
I am not able to attend the service, but will be making a memorial donation.

Dearest Clair,
I am so sorry to hear about Joe. My condolences to you and your family.
You and Joe came into my life about three years ago and made it better. I talk often and fondly of what you had done for me and my family in a time of need. They say that God brings people into your life when you need it most and that's the way I felt about you and Joe. If there is ever anything that I can do for you please do not hesitate to call me.
May God bless you and your family.

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Johannes Velema. To me he will always be Mr. Velema, the man who was my teacher at TDCH. He was tough on me at times yet always seemed to balance that toughness with healthy measures of grace. Mr Velema was able to look past my teenage rebellious side and see my better qualities; never shy to call me to the carpet when I gave less than my best. He was patient and kind, providing me with every opportunity to succeed. There were not too many teachers who influenced me like Mr. Velema.
On behalf of my family to yours, our deepest condolences. May you sense the Fathers presence and nearness as you mourn but also rejoice with the hope we have in Him.
Grace and peace
Floyd
