At 12:00 in the afternoon on January 10th the
suffering of our spirited, sweet, funny, strong, beloved Leontien ended and she
left this world for the next. It was a
peaceful passing, and she was surrounded by her loved ones when she went. We would like to thank each and every one of
you for the support and love that you have sent her and her family through this
difficult time. Words cannot possibly
express how much it has meant to her and to each and every one of us. It is safe to say that Leontien was a true
inspiration for many, and it is our hope that she will continue to be so.
Funeral and viewing arrangements are pending, but we
will be sure to post the information when it is all decided upon.
Thank you all so much, and God Bless.
With Love – Bastiaan, Wim, Maria, Hanneke, Roland,
Jan-Willem, and Meagan

It is not a surprise, but yet still I grieve, having not-so-secretly hoped that you would have a miracle happen.
I am glad your long physical suffering is over. You were valiant beyond words.
I know I will meet you again as the ANGEL you certainly already are in the world of Spirit.

Leontien touched my soul and so very many others. She was truly one of a kind and I will miss truly her. We never met in person but I will never forget her.
You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Thank you for sharing her with us. Rest now sweet lady. Hugs B
My heart breaks for you Bastiaan and for the whole family at the lost of your precious Leontien.
What an inspiring young lady Leontien was and she was strong. I kept her in my prayers daily.
She made me laugh with her adventures as described on her blog and she made me sad with her battle with cancer. I'm a cancer surviver and was supposed to die but I'm still here by the grace of God. He still has some work for me to finish as for Leontien, her work is done and what a great job she did.
May you all be console and strengthened by your strong faith in God's mercy.
Hugs,
Julia
The struggle is over, Leontien has passed into the light. and though we will all miss courage and joy of life she shared with all, it is for those of you remaining behind that I now pray. I pray that your heart will carry the pain lightly, I pray you feel her spirit near you through these dark days and joyfully throughout the rest of your journeying, I pray that Leontien's love smooth you path and give you peace. God bless you all.
Prayers to you all. Thank you for being so willing to share Leontien's battle publicly. She was an inspiration to thousands.

My prayers to the family. So many, many of us online have been following Leontien as she battled that horrible disease. I don't think I know anyone who fought it as hard as she did. I am sorry that she is gone now --but she is out-of-pain and is with God, in a beautiful place. May God rest her soul
Blessings to the family and loved ones.

Geen pijn meer. Maar zeer verdrietig om zo'n jonge mooie vrouw te verliezen. Wij zijn diep onder de indruk hoe Leontien haar ziekte gedurende een lange periode heeft doorstaan.
Ik wens jullie als gezin/familie ontzettend veel sterkte. Blijf terugkijken op alle mooie momenten. Ze was en blijft een mooi mens. Veel liefs Eliza x
So sorry for your loss, our loss as well. Leontien had great courage and a lovely sense of humor.
Blessings
Condolences to your entire family. She will be missed by many. Many who never had the pleasure of meeting her in person. I followed along in her amazing, full, rich life here on this blog. Her joy, sense of humor and zest for life touched many lives.
I hope she knows she touched mine.

I am so sorry for your loss. May precious memories fill your heart and ease your pain.
Your love for Leontien is tangible in your photographs together. Such great love. May God shed his grace on you as you comfort one another during this sad time.
"Lord, make me to know my end and to appreciate the measure of my days--what it is; let me know and realize how frail I am, how transient is my stay here.
Behold, You have made my days as handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight. Truly, every man at his best is merely a breath.
And now, Lord, what do I wait for and expect? My hope and expectation are in You."
One day you will be together again, no more pain, no more tears. Hold fast the hope that is in you.
I never had the privilege of meeting Leontien, but she was an inspiration nonetheless. Deepest sympathies.
I am very sad to hear that such a lovely young lady is no longer with us. I am so pleased I knew Leontien through her blogs, she was such a inspiration to so many people. Sending my condolences to Bastiaan and all the family xxxx

Leontien touched so many people and she will not be forgotten. Sending blessings and my love to you and yours and Leontien's families.~ Inger
I am so sorry for you loss! Leontien was an inspiring and wonderful person!

Rest in the arms of Jesus my sweet Leontien
So sorry for your Loss, I will miss Leontien. She was an inspiration to so many. My deepest sympathy to the family
GOD'S love, comfort and blessing for her family.
My sincere condolences to you all, may God keep her and bless you all.
The world has lost a beautiful person today. My heart aches for everyone who is left behind.
Leontien was a brave and beautiful force in the world. I will miss her indomitable spirit. My deepest condolences to the family and friends she left behind. God bless.
I did not know you well. For a short and lovely moment I felt of your spirit. Be at Peace and know that you are loved. I send Flowers from My Heart...Hugs from a fan in Alabama..
She has left her legacy on all she touched. Peace be with you as she is now in peace.
Oh, Leontien, your "spirited, sweet, funny, strong and beloved" spirit will be very busy reminding all of us with heavy hearts to treasure each minute as you did. I only found out about you in October of 2012, and couldn't have imagined then how devastating it would be to learn this news. I know memories of life with you will surround Bastiaan, Wim, Maria, Hanneke, Roland, Jan-Willem, and Meagan, interspersing laughter amid the tears, and eventually bringing them comfort as they feel your beauty in a thousand different ways as they go about their days. Your body may have left this earth, but your spirit will stay on to enrich everyone and everything it touches. Rest in Peace, dear Leontien.
I am so deeply sorry...
Leontien was a brave and beautiful soul.
My prayer and sympathies are with all of you.
Such a precious girl - she brought deep feeling to this electronic world of ours, reaching out with words and pictures so that we almost felt like a next door neighbor. So many people impacted by her honest journey of many challenges and of her inspirational life that proved she was one very determined young woman. I'm so glad she was able to realize her dreams instead of still wishing for them to come true...she was graced with an amazing character that all of us could feel, as if she were a magnet. May all her family and friends draw comfort in the fact that me and untold others are shedding tears and sharing the burden of the loss of such a beautiful person. Thank the Lord for her faith in her next address and that she shared so much with so many. Her words will live on. Thank for family for blessing us with more information --- thank you for still sharing her with us.

She was a brave woman. God Will take good care of her now.

Geen tweede als jij
Wat is in een naam?
Een mensenleven
een droom, een gestalte
een toekomstwens
geboren zijn en
'zo zal je heten'
iemand worden: deze mens.
Genoemd en geroepen
betekenis gekregen
geen tweede als jij:
Jouw denken, jouw doen
jou horen, jouw zien
jouw weten, jouw voelen
jouw lachen, jouw huilen
jouw ruiken, jouw proeven
jouw spreken, jouw zwijgen
jouw toedoen
heeft blijvende sporen op aarde getrokken
't gemis heeft jouw omtrek,
geen tweede als jij.
Wat is in een naam?
Een leef-tijd
een afscheid
volte en leegte
een naam gaat voorbij.
Maar niet de jouwe, niet jouw naam,
niet jij.

There are no words to express how truly sorry I am for your loss. As one of the many bloggers that prayed for her in life I can only take solace that she is now free from all mortal suffering and is in a better place.
God bless.
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.
I am I,
and you are you;
whatever we were to each other,
that, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used,
put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air
of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be
the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all
that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.
