Hello Frank & Zainabu,

It is rather unfortunate to learn of the loss in your family.

These are difficult times and such occurrences though part of life, tend to compound what we already have on the plate. It is my prayer that the good Lord will be your strength and comfort in this difficult time.

May the Lord guide and lead you as you make moves to put arrangements together for honoring your Mom finally. May He wipe tears from your eyes and lead you in all decision making.

The Lord be with you and the family.

Rev. Listowel Ayensu-Mensah.

Hello Everyone,

I regret to announce the death of Mrs. Dora Kooistra, the mother of our very own Frank Kooistra and mother-in-law of Zainabu Kooistra. She died this morning in the hospital in Beloit. Funeral arrangements have been made for a private ceremony in Janesville but you can call Frank and Zainabu with condolences at (608) 827-5469. A memorail service will be planned in Madison at a later date; information will be released when available.

Our hearts go out to Frank and Zainabu, very supportive family of our African community, and may the soul of Mama Kooistra rest in perfect peace.

Ann Marie
