Remembered by Family
Aunt S Remembers: Spoiling Her Nephew
From Aunt S, 10/15/2005
Anthony was...amazing. From the moment he came home I knew he was just really somethin'. I remember when I visited Gwen and Rian in North Carolina. I slept on the floor in the same room
Aunt S: Message to a Would-be Graduate
From Ant S, 5/25/2010
So, Graduate, what would I say to you now as you faced the world? That we knew you would be great from the very moment we laid eyes on you.
Cousin Julie Remembers: A Newborn
From Cousin Julie, 10/12/2005
Most of my memories of Anthony are from his earlier moments in life.
I remember when he was born.
They closed the Dordt Campus for the weekend
Cousin Julie Remembers: A Poke in the Eye
From Cousin Julie, 9/20/2005
One time, I was sleeping on the couch at "Uncle Al's" house. It was a Sunday afternoon several years ago, typical of an Iowa winter. Cold and froze outside, warm and cozy inside.
Cousin Michelle Remembers
From Cousin Michelle, 10/16/2005
What I remember best about Anthony was that he was true to his namesake - Grandpa Tony Kuiper.
Grandma Remembers: Separation
From Grandma Kuiper, 11/3/2005
I was privileged to spend a lot of time with Anthony during his first 5 years or so. I found out quite soon how "attached" to him I was.
When Anthony was almost a year old I traveled with him and his mom on their first move to Jacksonville, NC.
Grandpa Remembers: A Spotted Fawn
From Grandpa K, 9/29/2010
Five years ago on a Saturday afternoon in June you and I stood silent on a grass-covered hillside. You had suddenly pointed and whispered, "Grandpa, look! It's a fawn!"
Grandpa Remembers: Name That Tune
From Grandpa K, 10/10/2005
Anthony had a special love for music -- of most any kind! We saw this already almost as soon as he started to walk.
Grandpa Remembers: Quiet Evening
From Grandpa K, 9/30/2014
It’s a quiet evening here, not too far away from the place you were born. Today we would have celebrated your 23rd birthday with you, and I find myself wondering what life would look like for you. What would you be doing? What passions of life would you be pursuing? What adventures of life might surround you?
Kayla Remembers: Cheez Whiz!
From Cousin Kayla, 9/16/2005
Last summer I was sleeping on the couch and Anthony and Evan got the idea to put cheese whiz in my ear.
Unkel B Remembers: Seeing Each Other
From Uncle Bruce, 10/4/2005
What keeps coming back to me this summer, over and over again, is returning to America and wanting desperately to see Anthony for the first time.
Unkel B: Missed Every Second
From Unkel B, 7/2/2008
Three years feels like a lifetime without Anthony, but at the same time the pain feels like the loss happened only yesterday.
Unkel B: Stained Glass Window
From Unkel B, 6/17/2009
In our lives, we saw each other in bursts,
In quick, stolen moments of time,
Bonds shared by others,
Then splintered into shining shards
That somehow show unity rather than brokenness,
And uniquely complete us and show us
Why we are together,
Why we cling to each other
Even when we’re apart.
