Mom

February 1929

Remembering Bernice Audrey VanHalsema VandenBerg 8/09/1927-11/15/2024. My caring, smiling, loving mother has left this earth for another place - a heaven that she has been ready to welcome with open arms. Steve and I, my siblings and their spouses and my entire extended family are rejoicing in her life and thankful that the ups and downs she experienced in recent weeks are now behind her.

My baking has taken a back seat over the past couple of months, but I hope to be back in the kitchen and writing of more baking adventures soon.

For those of you in West Michigan/Grand Rapids, I’m putting a pause on offering any baking/pastry classes for the foreseeable future. I wish all of you a joyful and peaceful holiday season.

Rest in peace Mom. Love you.
