Hi Janelle & Willem,
We continue to pray for your healing every night and trust in God’s goodness and mercy.
What a great idea this blog is! Dr. Colbert prescribes lots of laughter as your best medicine, so you can count on me to be as weird as usual.
Much love to you all from Michigan,
Heather, Dan, Elena and Max

Janelle ,
Thank you for sharing with us through this blog. You truely have many spirits pulling for you. You are in my thought daily as are Willem and the children. I remember a few years ago I was asked to pick peolple to represent different colors. You came to mind quickly for white. You give off a sense of goodness, peace, sincerity and love in all you do, which are the qualities I assocoate with the colr white. Yvonne was orange in case you wondered, spunky, beautiful and filled with laughter.

Janelle – Were to start…First I would like to tell you how much I love you!!! You were the one that brought baby John and I out of the rain so long ago and welcomed us into your life. How our friendship has grown…so alike…and yet so different, but always sisters in Christ! With our roles as mothers and our crazy love of decorating our friendship has turned into “friends for life”. How terrified I was to hear the news of the tumor…(this sadness I have felt before with you… with your news of baby Jakob at your 20 week ultrasound) With that news, we held each other and cried and cried…unsure of what was to be of the future. Praise God for Jakob and the joy he has brought your family!!! With this new news… I have cried and cried…asked why… and prayed! I have prayed a lot… I know that God has answered my prayers with your amazing recovery from surgery. As we have talked…I know you feel His strength. I will continue to pray for you and your family… for His continued hand on your life and for your continued healing…
I am so thankful that we had this “girls weekend” scheduled…it will be the perfect time for us to just hangout, to laugh and to cry…and of course to decorate together!!
with much love and friendship,
Yvonne

Hi Sweet Janelle. We have printed your darling Easter picture, put it on the fridge, and pray for you many times a day. Here is what the Lord has given us to pray for you:
“And the God of all grace, who called YOU to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself RESTORE you and make you STRONG, FIRM, and STEADFAST.” I Peter 5:10
With all our love and prayers,
Susan and Cairy Littlejohn, Peter, Graham and Sophie

Aunt Jan,
I really liked your pictures. I have been praying for you. In my Sunday School class I made a prayer request for you and your family. Give all the boys kisses and hugs from me. Tell Jakob he looks like a big boy in his walker and I am proud of him. I hope I get to see you soon. It is ok if I have to share my mom with you for a while until you are better. I love you very much.

dear mom,
I hope you get better soon. I felt lonely when you were at the hospital. Now I feel better. I hope that medecine takes the tumor away.
Sincerely, Luke

In the first place I am happy that the surgery of Jakob went well. I am living in Holland
What struck me your son has the same name as my father Jakob and written in the original verson without a c This name dates in my family from 1750.
I wonder how the name Jakob came in your family.
Hoping to hear from you, I remain
with kind regards
