Sympathy:  We wish to extend our sympathy to Joyce Mellema on the death of her sister, Pearl Dyk, on July 24 in Sioux Falls.  Pearl and her husband Clair were living at Primrose Assisted Living in Sioux Falls.  Pearl’s funeral was held last Tuesday, July 28, at the Christian Reformed Church in Platte, South Dakota. 

 

Thank You:  Once again, we are grateful and humbled by the support of our First Reformed family.  This recovery has been a little tougher due to complications and the pandemic, but we are certain that your prayers are what are getting us through.  Please continue to pray for Caden to gain weight and his overall health as we enter the school year.  We are forever thankful to all of you.  The Wrights

 

Thank You:  Thank you for the many thoughts and prayers given to me upon my sister Pearl’s passing.  They were much appreciated. ~ Joyce Mellema
