Ps103:13-18 ESV
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord show’s compassion to those who fear him.
For He knows our frame,
He remembers that we are dust.
As for man, his days are like grass,
He flourishes like a flower of the field,
for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
But the steadfast love of the Lord
is from everlasting to everlasting
on those who fear him,
and His righteousness to children’s children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.

Marienus was my cousin and we have precious memories over the last 61 years.
We will remember him always.
To Gerda his wife, my dear cousin in law, and her children grand and great grandchildren I extend my heartfelt condolences and my love to all.
Corry and Family
Marinus was more than just someone I had the privilege of giving personal care to…he was a great dad who always talked about his Darlene wife oma and the kids. He was quiet for most of the time but when he would say something u would laugh. I remember my first night with him and looking at the gate sign I instantly knew God is in the house. He was always there because they show what the love of God is. We often sing this song on a hill far away stood an old rugged cross. His last word to me was I want to go home I ask him where is home he said there is only one home. What a time to go home may his soul rest in the arms of Jesus. Family I pray for your strength
He was always very close to my heart, as well as Gerda. They welcomed me into their home just like I was ‘their own’. Heaven gained another Godly saint- to this we are very grateful in knowing he is in the presence of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Thinking and praying for the whole family. Love you all very much!!
I remember a few really good and encouraging conversations with Mr. Luimes. Praying for all of you, dear Luimes family.
Diny and I extend our deep sympathy to Gerda and her extended family in the death of Marinus. We have warm memories of times shared over the last 60 years and pray that the Lord provides you with comfort and confidence in His saving Grace.
Our sincerest sympathies to you all, during this very difficult time. May your cherished memories bring you comfort in the days, weeks and months to come.

And staff
He was my Dad. I loved him deeply and he gave me some of the best memories I have to this day. Listening to him play the harmonica and reading to us from the Bible. I remember that smile he would give me even when I was naughty. He gave the best hugs and could comfort just by being in the same room with you. Thank you for being there when I needed you most. Now you are with the angels singing in the heavens. God Bless! I look forward to the day we meet again.
Thinking of you and your family Joyce. May the God of comfort be all of you.
Lieve Gerda

Dear Gerda, children and grandchildren,
Our deepest sympathy with the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. Marinus and I met for the first time about 60 years ago upon his arrival in Toronto from the Netherlands. He was a truly gentle, humble and God fearing man. He liked to take long walks and feel the presence of God in fields and forests. Truly a man of peace, a blessing for all who knew him.
“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Math.5:8

Dear tante Gerda and family,
We extend our deepest sympathy to you all at this difficult time. I am feeling so blessed that I got the opportunity to visit you with my Dad in November 2016. The 2 brothers had a wonderful time together talking about lovely memories. We had a great time during that week and I will never forget that visit. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Trusting that your faith in God will be of comfort to you in the times to come.
Wish you all the best,
