William Vandersteeg

Message from Joanne

“Billy” was one of the Vandersteeg boys I babysat down the street in Byron,IL. He was so sweet, and I took a special shine to him! I wrote a short story for him when I knew he was afraid at night! He gave me my lifelong nickname, Soyann, as he couldn’t say Joanne at the time. School friends caught on and still greet me that way today! So sorry to hear of his passing. Joanne Calvert Turiciano

Martha Jean,
We are so sorry for your loss. We will pray for you & family at this extremely difficulty time. The Bible tells us in Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. I hope this will help you in this very hard time.
In Christ's Love, Doug & Paula
