  10. To Peter, Bill, Corrie and family,

    On behalf of the Christian Reformed Church of South Gippsland:
    We thank God for the life of Tine Bons. She was a remarkable person and an integral part of our church family, for decades.
    We are thankful for her commitment to her Lord and the church.
    Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
    John 11: 25 – 26
    Tine believed this and is now with Him!
    As we grieve with you, we pray that this will be a comfort. Our hearts go out to you.
