Didn't know Dora, but knew many of the Speerstra/West family through our life in Good Hope Lutheran Church (1981-1998). Sending our condolences; but also rejoicing in the peace that the Lord has promised knowing that she now resides in the Presence of her Lord and has been welcomed by many of her loved ones who have gone before. Hank: now she sees the real Jesus :) L

Donna, Henry & family, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She sounded like a really wonderful woman, was amazed at who's music she liked at her age, most of my elderly friends here wouldn't listen to Janis Joplin. I wish I could have known her, Heaven has a wonderful Angel. May God watch over you all during your grief.

Sorry to hear about the passing of Betty. She certainly lived a good long life. We were just talking about the important role she played in our lives when we were young. And the good times we had at Rickmere. We will always remember how kind she was. We are thinking of your family today,as you remember your mom. Xoxo

Henry and family. I'm so sorry for your loss. Some of my fondest memories were taking care of you Dad and spending time with your Mom. It was a wonderful way to start my day. God bless and care for them both.

I will always have fond memories of Aunt Betty. She was so good to me and I enjoyed the years of cleaning her house because we got to visit too!She made the best chocolate cake with white icing and would always whip one up for us at the river! My thoughts are with all her family at this time.

Donna, Karen, & Henry My thoughts are with you & your family . I will never forget my stops at your mom & dads porch for a visit as I pushed my bicycle up the hill from Oakwood as a child, PTA meetings at Tippery School, and dropping in on Sam & giving him a hand on the oil wells during on of my fishing excursions in Rockmere. Your parents were THE BEST !

Dear Speerstra Family,
I was so saddened by your loss of a wonderful woman. I'm sure in her lifetime she has touched the hearts of many, as stated in her obituary. It's still hard as humans to let a dear loved one go. May your faith bring you peace and your many memories comfort you at this time of sorrow.

Sincerely,
Jeanan Deibert (friend & co-worker of Karen) Love you girl.

What a sweetheart. Our kids thought of her as another grandmother as she watched them when they were young. She lived a long good but not easy life. You are all blessed to have had her. Lo e to all
