Letter of the Day

When Amana’s sexton, Brian Hollrah, mentioned how it’s harder to make some tombstones than others, he was alluding to the death of my son, Jordan Hans Heusinkveld. Besides dying in a car crash on his mother’s birthday, Jordan was buried in the Amana cemetery on what would have been his 19th birthday. The 19-year-old girl who hit us head-on was fined $37 for unsafe passing plus court costs.
— David B. Heusinkveld, Amana.
