A Heart for Leontien


 
 "At 12:00 in the afternoon on January 10th, 2013, 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."


The world is a little dimmer; heaven a little brighter.
Leontien ... you will be missed.

A Heart For Leontien

I got an e-mail in April about a special project ...

Flowers For Leontien ...

I had all kinds of excuses as to why I didn't participate back then.
After reading about Leontien's struggles to thrive despite a devastating diagnosis, my "excuses" are pretty pathetic.

I followed the link to Leontien's blog ... and read back through her posts. Tears overflowed as I read it through.

Leontien ... this wild rose heart is for you.
As are my thoughts and prayers.
