Shine On Marisa

Sorry for more not so happy news.

This morning Marisa Vanderveen, a former teacher at FVC and family friend (Her and Mendelt lived in our basement suite for some time), went to be with the Lord, now cancer free. For those who have followed her blog, you will know how she was a pillar of strength and a beautiful child of God. Her and Mendelt gave us all a powerful and honest look of what it is like to have cancer. It was less than a year ago when she discovered a lump that would later claim her life.

Please take a moment to say a prayer or two for Mendelt, and their three young children, Zion, Jacoba, and Zekijah.

Let her life continue to shine on as beautiful as it has for the last 33 years.
