Years ago, I spent a lot of time with the de Graaf family and probably the thing I remember the most about Gerrit is his constant smile and seemingly unending happiness. I know that that happiness came from his walk with the Lord. I also remember that he is kind, caring, patient, patriotic, giving, hard-working and especially a great Christian example to his kids, to me and to others around him (and I'm sure now to his grandkids, as well).
I also remember how much Gerrit and Anna Mae used to love to sing with the choir at church. Good times back then! And now, dear sweet Gerrit, you will soon be singing to your hearts content with those who have gone before you! Singing without ceasing, singing with the angels, singing before your Lord! "Sing a new song" "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord" "Sing praises to your King"
With much love and respect our prayers go out to you and your family.
Joined together in Christ,
