To the Van Bakels. It is with great sadness that we learned of the loss of your mom. I am the oldest son of Ed and Joanne(Van Bakel) Van Thiel. I was so fortunate a number of years back to see your mom and dad in Louisville along with Valerie and got to see Diane years earlier. She raised along with your dad a wonderful family and always showed the true southern hospitality. From Grand Rapids MI Ron
