Condolence: Although I only met Mr. Twente one time, his nephew, Ed Haase, and I have been friends for 50 years. It is my prayer that Mr. Twente's family will find comfort in their memories of him.

Condolence: It has been my absolute honor and privilege to know Elden for the past two years. When we moved into the neighborhood, Mr. Twente was so lovely to us! He immediately took a shining to my kids, and every time we would see him, without fail, he took the time to speak to us. He made my kids (and their mom!) feel welcome, important, and loved. He was truly a light in this world. He will be missed!

Condolence: I am so thankful that I got to love Elden like a second father on this journey around the sun. He was the MOST beautiful person, inside and out. I love him, Lucille, and their kids and am sending love, light, angels to guide everyone during the days to come. He will be missed.

Condolence From: Earnest Grisham
Condolence: My condolences to the Twente families. I'm sorry about the loss of dear Elden. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: "Your dead ones will live...They will rise up". And the Bible also says "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it". Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ's ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering.
