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

My heart breaks for you Bastiaan and for the whole family at the lost of your precious Leontien.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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

ReplyDelete"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.

ReplyDeleteOh, 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.
ReplyDeleteI am so deeply sorry...
ReplyDeleteLeontien was a brave and beautiful soul.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.

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.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Death is nothing at all,
ReplyDeleteI 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.
