Hello Kooyers

Filed under: General — anita @ 8:43 am

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. Adam, I may be picking your brain because I am attempting to start my own blog. I always wanted to be a writer of some kind when I was a kid so I am going to practice a bit. I am catching on fine I think but I need to understand how to use RSS language.

Scott and I are empty nesters these days as Kelsey is living down in Mankato. She likes it down there she can see her old friends and just started a new job at a Day Care Center at her church. Spring is here so Scott is getting busy at work and I am anxious to start gardening when I can…May can’t come fast enough for me.

Nothing big going on which is a good thing.
Happy Spring!

Happy Thanksgiving

Filed under: General — Adam @ 11:04 am

Though many of us will not be together today, I’d like to extend a Happy Thanksgiving to the entire Kooyer kin. May the day bring fond memories of those who or no longer with us and make us thankful for those who are. God bless everyone and travel safely on this day.

From the VeVea Family

Filed under: General — anita @ 5:59 pm

Hello All, I wanted to take the blog opportunity to talk to you all about what happened to sister Linda. Linda as you know had alcohol problems for many years, once her husband Leon passed 4 years ago she basically got worse. Many of us constantly urged her to quit and get help. Linda’s liver failed last week to the point where the toxins in her body were creating confusion in her brain. She didn’t know her name or where she was. Mom took her to the hospital and the “numbers” proved that she was not going to survive. Once the liver went, then the kidney and so on.

All of us sisters were fortunate to be there for Linda on the day of her passing. We all spent some private time with her even though she couldn’t talk, she did seem to respond to many loving conversations with family and friends.

I will be posting an on line obituary/slide show some time next week and will put the link on this blog for you all when it’s ready. We all loved Linda’s kind and gentle heart. I am comforted in knowing that she is no longer in pain and is with loved ones now with God.

Treasure each day. We hear it a lot but still continue to take our days for granted, I sure know that I have. I love you all and thank you for your prayers and support for our family through this painful time.

God Bless you all.

Anita

Future Reunions

Hi All! It was great to see everyone at the reunion! Adam looks like you were elected by? to be the chair of the next reunion. I have no doubt you’ll do a great job.

I do have a suggestion and want to put it out to all of us folks out there for comment and thought. This past Monday I was out with my daughters and grandkids at Pattison State Park and took a tour of the park campgrounds and facilities. It’s SO nice! The beach is perfect, the falls are wonderful for site seeing, there is a nature trail that goes around the lake, they have volleyball nets and playing area set-up, an area for horseshoes, there is showers, changing houses etc. I really think (although Uncle Jim would object I am sure) that this would be the perfect place to located our next reunion. Cass Lake is beautiful too, but it’s just a camping area. Just a thought..so I figured I’d put it out for discussion. Also for those who want to fish…there is Amnicon Lake not too far away that has muskies in it…etc. AND there is a golf course only a few miles away from the park AND it’s not that far for those who want to stay in town. THOUGHTS please!! -Mary

I thought this deserved it’s own post. So I created one. Feel free to write new posts anytime everyone.

Kooyer Lineage?

Filed under: General — Adam @ 5:08 pm

Do the names:

  • KOOYER, Jacob
  • KOOYER, Nicholaus

    ring familiar with anyone? The two apparently came to America in 1732. Just wondering if we’re related.

    Welcome to the Site

    Filed under: General — Adam @ 8:52 am

    Hey everyone,

    I’ve created a “Destructions” (aka Instructions) page at the top of this site. I will try to answer all questions anyone has in this section. Again, don’t worry about breaking things… You can’t learn without trying.

    Hope this helps!
