We are now able to share more details about the funeral for Craig Vanderveen
and contact information for sending condolences to the family. First a correction, the other person killed in the accident-Denise Veendaal--was a high school friend and not a cousin.
Their funerals will be on Wednesday, July 4, in the Carmen Canadian Reformed Church, Carmen, Manitoba-Craig's in the morning at 10:00 am and Denise's in the afternoon, probably at 2:00 pm; no visitation is planned the day before.The family is willing to help with lodging for anyone coming from Redeemer-just call Les Vanderveen (an Uncle) at 204 745 8273 or Hannah Vanderveen (cousin and Redeemer student) at 204 750 2258. Several students and alumni are planning to go, and Redeemer will also be sending a representative. We are also discussing plans for a memorial service at Redeemer in the fall when students have returned to campus.
Condolences can be sent to the family by emailing the funeral home doyles@mts.net and putting "condolences vanderveen family" in the subject line. Thank you for your prayer support for the family and all affected by this tragic event. We find our hope and confidence in the Lord.
President Cooper
