Condolence From: Sheila Kimminau
Condolence: Winters in Colorado can be quite challenging sometimes and we had to navigate a steep hill to get to our home. Many times we could not make the hill in either the station wagon or the gremlin that we three girls drove (sure all you VanDevanders remember the gremlin!!) Dr. Van would always show up and either climb in the back seat or ride the bumper to help us up the hill. I don't know how he always knew we were having trouble but we grew to depend on him and his ability to get us up that hill. How fortunate we were to live in that neighborhood with the entire VanDevander family. Our families grew to be very good friends which I feel we are very blessed. Our condolences to you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Sheila (Likely) Kimminau

Condolence: Norma & Family - Sincere sympathy in the loss of Dr. Van. I was glad I got to see him last month. He still had a big smile and twinkle in his eye. He was truly a gentleman. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Condolence From: Stacey Likely Adams
Condolence: I was so sorry to hear about Dr. Van. He was such a huge part of our growing up years in Cheyln Acres in Glenwood Springs. Whenever I think about Dr. Van, I can see him working on or in his "barn". He was a good man and I'm happy he had a good life.

Condolence From: Charlotte & Bill Zilm
Condolence: Van was down-to-earth, caring and
a true friend from the time we met him. By coming to Glenwood Springs,
Co. he was the first Ob-Gyn on the
Western Slope.

Our fondest memories were Christmases and holidays as well as
celebrations of children's accomplishments.

Our hunting and fishing experiences were spectacular and will never be forgotten.
