Dear Phyllis and family, You have our deepest sympathy in the loss of your husband. We fondly remember in 1973, when we came to your farm and purchased two 4-H calves for the first time, for our daughter to show. Your husband spent a lot of time helping us choose good calves and we never forgot that. We had fun that day. We pray that the good Lord will give you the strength to cope with the loss of your husband. God Bless you, Grant and Becky VanHeukelum, Gobles
