		<description>Jennifer,

I sat down at my computer a few nights ago, and something told me to call your dad, John Rea. Joann answered the phone,and as John picked up the call, the tone of both voices told me something was terribly wrong. John explained, and I was shocked. You are a brave person, as was Joost. You, Katy,and Sam are in my thoughts and prayers.

		<description>Beste Jennifer, Katy, Sam, ouders, familie en vrienden van Joost,

Ik, Bert, heb gisteren samen met jullie, afscheid genomen van Joost.  Dit was een heel pijnlijke en verdrietige dag voor me. Joost, studievriend uit Delft, heeft altijd een bijzondere plek bij mij gehad en dat zal ook zeker altijd zo blijven. 
Ooit wilde we nog eens samen een buro beginnen, ‘solvie’ genaamd ,s(choeren) (v)erheggen, ‘oplossingen’ en boven al ‘zonnig leven’...
Joost, op de terug weg van mijn gesprek afgelopen donderdag waarin ik te horen kreeg dat mijn eerste kinetische sculptuur ‘vogels in de wind’ waarschijnlijk geplaatst kan worden kreeg ik een telefoontje waarin ik hoorde dat je gevlogen was. Als het lukt en hij wordt geplaatst draag ik deze in stilte op aan jou.

Vooral de afgelopen dagen hebben wij, Esther en Bert,  veel stilgestaan bij het ziekteproces van Joost, de opmerkelijke wijze waarop Joost met deze ziekte wist om te gaan die bij ons gevoelens van bewondering en ontzag opriep, de angst en onzekerheid die Joost, Jennifer en alle andere naasten gedurende zijn ziekteproces moeten hebben gevoeld, zijn overlijden en wat dit afscheid voor al zijn dierbaren moet betekenen. 

Onze gedachten gaan uit naar Jennifer, moeder van twee prachtige jonge kinderen. Zij zal nu moeten leven met het intense verdriet om het verlies van Joost maar ook met de blijdschap en vreugde die Katy en Sam haar brengen. Leven met die uiterste gevoelens kan niet anders dan een hoop energie kosten. Wij wensen haar de kracht en moed die nodig is om dit alles een goede plek in haar leven te geven.

Katy en Sam moeten in hun verdere leven hun vader missen die ontzettend veel van hun hield en dol was op hen. Zij zullen Joost alleen leren kennen uit verhalen en van foto’s, maar bewust of onbewust zullen zij merken dat Joost juist in hen voortleeft en hen de kracht zal geven om iets moois van het leven te maken. Overal waar zij gaan, is Joost!

Onze speciale gevoelens en gedachten gaan uit naar de ouders van Joost, die hem liefde en warmte hebben gegeven waardoor hij kon worden wat hij was geworden. Het is tegen de wetten van de natuur in om als ouder je kind te moeten verliezen en wij wensen voor de ouders dat de pijn om het verlies van Joost draagbaar wordt.

Alle andere familieleden, in het bijzonder zijn zusje Janneke en broers Bart en Roemer en schoonfamilie, en vrienden wensen wij heel veel sterkte bij het verwerken van het verlies van Joost.

		<description>Dear Jennifer,

To this day I remember how you hosted our RSM study tour. I still remember the bus driving this group of not-just-yet-MBAs from university to picknick site and vice versa and you hosting our visit. It was only much later that I learned that Joost and you 'got together' during this tour.

My relationship with Joost was never really intense but the moments we did meet I enjoyed his company very much. The last time we actually spoke was at the RSM reunion in september 2006. Then, I looked different than before (dare I say, better?)and some of the guys were playfully guessing why that was. Joost got it: 'You've got a new girlfriend, don't you?' LOL :-D Later that evening we talked about setting up businesses and business coaching as a free lancer.

I was shocked when I heard the news of Joost's cancer. And at the same time I was so impressed by the way you cope. Your positive energy, your optimism, your openness about your feelings... I find it amazing. And I'm not the only one who feels this way about you guys.

Today I heard the news from Anneke. Of course, it came as a shock. My thoughts went out to you and what this means for you and the kids. I wasn't able to keep my eyes dry...

At the same time I am happy to see so many loving and supporting people around you. As I believe Joost also will be around you, Katy and Sam... always. This week, heaven has become an even better place.

Dear Jenny, take care. Be well.

Love and strength,

Bert de Vries</description>

		<description>Hi Jennifer,

We never met in person, but Joost was a dear friend from me at our time at the "Huisvesting" in Delft.

I admire the approach both of you had over the recent months!

You take care with the children, Joost will live on in my memory as a lighting example of positive energy!

Love,

Richard</description>

		<description>Dear Jennifer, Katy and Sam
I heard yesterday about Joost passing away on Monday morning. I'm so glad to hear you were back in time from America to be with him, I'm sure he knew you were there Jenny.  I really admired you both so much in the way you were dealing with Joost's cancer. How he kept writing in his Blog, you both have fought this cancer in such an amazing way I have never ever seen this before.

Jennifer you can be really proud of yourself and know Joost will always be with you and you will always see him in your children.

My thoughts will be with you on Monday and hopefully I can give you and the kids a big hug in August.

Lots of love from Jessica and Renée</description>

		<description>Dear Joost and Jennrea:

Regrets that I just discovered your website. So much to catch up on. Notable impressions: such a wonderful support group of friends and family...your message on 'Will Power', Joost... and 'Failure is not an Option'...and Don Asel's eloquent message...and so very much more. Prayer is a big part of my life. Please know that you and your beautiful children are included daily. Much Love,</description>

		<description>Hi Joost,

It has been a few years since I saw you last around those good pints we shared with Bart and friends in Switzerland.  Joanne and I are thinking of you and looking forward to doing it again with you next time we are over.
I have read a couple of your stories and think it is great the inner connection you have found and the inner strength you have summoned.

Great family pics too!  If I read the comments correctly it looks like Jenn has been having some laughs watching the office.  It is based on Scranton, PA which is the area we live.  Yes, a real place and hopefully worthy of some additional laughs and snickers.

Kick some butt Joost, we are rooting for you and know you can do it!! Go 90+!!!

All the very very best,

Kevin, Joanne and family</description>

		<description>Joost &#38; Jen,

First and foremost my prayers and well wishes are with you both and the rest of your family. Michael R. and I recently reconnected due to my diagnosis of  grade 2.5 brain cancer. He and I discussed in-depth my surgery and current chemo/radiation recovery. Among things we discussed was the incredible strength that comes from within as your battle adversity. Mike informed me how strong your support system is. I would like to say you provide me encouragement in battling my cancer and I hope my prayers and thoughts will provide the same.

Sincerely,

Michael R. Liedtke</description>
