Will Van Roekel aged 28 died last Saturday morning after a lingering illness leaving a young widow of 19. They were married ahout two years ago. It is indeed painful.
Last March they began farming after which he became ill: An operation was performed but of no avail! The funeral was held from the Christian Reformed church on Tuesday.
