On December 30, 2005, our dear and beloved father, John Heuvelmans Sr., passed on to his eternal life with God. While we will miss him very much, we know that he is now in a much better place. Dad lived most of his 100+ years very much on his own terms, but during the past two months he was ill with Pneumonia and had much difficulty in breathing.

Dan & I are both very grateful that we got to see him last February, when we joined in the celebrations of his 100 birthday. It was wonderful to see him again after 13 years, and to surprise him in that way.

Dan is holding up well under the circumstances, as we knew this day was soon coming. As for me, I am doing what I can to support Dan and our family. Amongst the moments of sadness, I feel very blessed to have known this man for some twenty-three years and I am very proud to have been one of his daughters-in-law.

I have set up this memorial page in his honour. If you wish to leave a message of condolences further down on this page, I will make sure that Dan and his family gets them all. A memorial page has also been set up at the McKinlay Funeral Home web site.

We know that all of your prayers, thoughts, and love are with us and our family.

With much love,

Gerianne
