September 30, 2020 at 11:48 pmMarianne, Chris and all the family, our sincere condolences on the passing of your dad. I was immediately reminded of Romans 8. vs. 35: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life—–nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” I know your dad was a Godly man and heaven awaits those who trust in the Lord. Our prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Rev. Wilfred and Katherine Flavell

Kristy Hebert says
October 6, 2020 at 9:15 pmI worked at Durant’s Flowers a couple summers while in high school and I absolutely loved working for the VanBruinessens. My fondest memories are the time I accidentally drove over the garden hose with the push mower and was so scared to tell John. He said , “oh, well, that’s not good.” As I waited to get yelled at or fired! The next day, I went outside to run an errand and I saw the garden hose wrapped up with duct tape and not a word was said about the issue again! I also remember his love of trains and how hard he worked! I send my thoughts and prayers to the family.
