Save us a seat, Doctor Dale

In the past we have written about our good friend and our family physcian, Doctor Dale Boersma and his struggle with ALS....a cruel and dehumanizing disease. We are pleased to annouce Doctor Dale has gone home.....home to be with his Lord. He is now whole and healthy and filled with joy in the pressence of his Lord, Jesus Christ. Although we mourn his passing because it is our loss, we rejoice and celebrate his going from this life to an eternity spent in glory....a place without tears, pain, and unhealthy bodies. I can picture him singing praises to the Lord and even dancing for him. He must feel so free.

While we do have sadness today it is a relief to us that Doctor no longer is held captive in a body that won't respond. He no longer is suffering. For the last two years he had been unable to do all the things he loved to do, sing, help people by being a doctor, work in the yard, study scripture, worship his Lord, spend time with grand kids, and fellowship with other Christians.....oh yeah, and make very corny jokes and puns that made his bride, Helen, roll her eyes.

We are just so thankful we got to share in his time here on earth and we say thank you, Doctor, for your wonderful Christian example and for the love you showed to me and to my whole family. I am happy for you being set free and Jim and I look forward to seeing you again in heaven.... save us a seat!
