IN MEMORIAM — DINGENA LAUNDERVILLE November 13,1918 — January 4,1983

On January 4,1983, it pleased the Lord to remove one of our teachers, Mrs. Dingena Launderville (nee Den Boer), from our midst by the cold hand of death. Mrs. Launderville was employed as a teacher of the Netherlands Reformed Christian School of Clifton and Franklin Lakes from 1975-1982. During this period she faithfully instructed our boys and girls in accordance with God’s Word. In January 1980 her serious disease was diagnosed for the first time, upon which she underwent surgery and received treatments. The Lord blessed these means so that she was enabled again to teach during the 1980-1981 school year. At the beginning of the 1981-1982 school year, however, she broker her hip. After his accident her general condition deteriorated to such an extent that in the Spring of 1982 she regretfully resigned her position as teacher in our school. It was a difficult decision for her since she was very attached to the school and the children.

Since then her condition gradually grew worse. In December 1982 her family in the Netherlands invited her and her son for a visit. She went, never realizing she would not return again. While in the Netherlands her condition became very serious and on January 4 there came an end to her weary and difficult life. On January 8 she was buried in the town where she was born, Herkingen, the Netherlands. The funeral service was conducted by her brother, Rev. A.M. Den Boer of Sioux Center, who spoke about Luke 19:10, “For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

And so our beloved teacher, Mrs. Launderville, is no more. She has gone the way of all flesh and has entered a never-ending eternity. There is sorrow in our hearts and I believe also in the hearts of the students who have been instructed by her. Yet I may believe that we need not mourn as those who have no hope. Rev. Den Boer also had freedom to testify of this at the funeral service. From my personal association with her all these years, I may believe that she was no stranger of being poor in spirit and of mourning over that spiritual poverty. However, I believe she also was no stranger of hungering and thirsting after the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. For a people who may have experimental knowledge of this, the day of their death is better than the day of their birth. For all such poor and needy sinners who love the Lord Jesus in sincerity it will be fulfilled what is recorded in Rev. 21:4, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain.” By God’s grace, may this also be our portion, for if we die without this true saving faith in Christ, it shall be fulfilled what we read in verse 8, “But the fearful, and unbelieving,.....shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.”

May it therefore please the Lord to graciously apply the serious calling of Mrs. Launderville’s death to our hearts for His Name’s sake. May He also remember her only son Larry, and grant that the grace his mother received may also become his personal portion.

On behalf of the Netherlands Reformed Christian School of Clifton and Franklin Lakes, Bartel Elshout Principal

Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luke 3:5-6
