Dean Dykstra wrote a sympathy message

“Alida was a friend to my Nehemiah Dykstra, who passed away 7 months ago. We had tears of sorrow and joy when we heard of Alida's passing, joy because we could picture them meeting in Heaven, and Nehemiah saying, "Hey! I know you!" She was a special lady, we all were enthralled hearing her stories of the hardships she faced earlier in life. God's love defiantly shown through her! Dean & MIchele Dykstra (and family)”
