Everytime I see the name Doorlag, I check to see if they are a distant relative. My dad was Steve Engberts, the son of Richard Engberts.

Growing up in 3rd Ref., the Doorlag name was well represented and we were blessed by their faith and witness over the years. Ed, while gentle and unassuming demonstrated his faith in acts of kindness as one characteristic. One example that stands out was on a rainy Saturday following a junior choir practice, when a young boy about the age of ten stood in the rain at a bus stop one block away from the church waiting for the city bus, unaware that the bus route was recently revised. Ed came along and offered the water logged lad a ride home which was a considerable distance away. Some 67 years later, that act of kindness is still remembered. May God's Peace reign in your hearts as you cling to the promises found in His Word.

Uncle Ed and Aunt Pat always took a great interest in us no matter where we were living for which we are so thankful. Our 2 daughters remember Uncle Ed for the boxes of paper he would sometimes give our family. It is our faith that he is in a much better place because of his enduring faith in Jesus. Please keep us informed when and where his memorial service will be held. If at all possible, we would most certainly want to be there.
