Miss Spikeboer and her parents were true and faithful friends of our family. It was thanks to her parents that my Dutch immigrant parents could realize their dream of home ownership, and I got my first car thanks to a loan from Miss Spikeboer! We always enjoyed our visits to their home, gardens, and especially the berry bushes! Many Thanksgivings were richer because the Spikeboers were around the table. Miss Spikeboer was a devoted teacher. For years my sister and I used to help her set up her classroom and I still have some of the teaching materials she passed along to me when she retired. She was a devoted daughter, faithfully caring for her parents until the Lord took them home. She loved to travel, she loved The Holland Home, and she loved the Lord with all her heart. What a reunion there must have been when the Lord called His faithful servant Home!
