Jim Elsenbroek, much loved husband, father, and opa on August 6 died and went to be with his Lord and Savior. It is because of His life, His death, and His resurrection that we can rejoice in spite of sadness. We therefore celebrate Jim's new birth into the life of Christ with all the saints that have gone before him and we look forward to celebrating a new and full life of victory with him. Thanks be to God! Jim was born on September 19, 1940 in Patterson, New Jersey and lived a happy, full, and love filled life replete with music, always music. He was a social worker at Pine Rest and Wedgwood Acres, the Deacon at Large for Grand Rapids, taught music at the Veteran's Facility and was a very good and meticulous painter. What he was really good at, was accepting people as they are and loving them.
