My sister Jacke & brother-in-law Larry’s beloved grandchildren Jack and Noah, their “daugther in love” Marcai, and her father Jim are STABLE and now out of the hospital, for which we Thank God. Although they are starting their respective roads to recovery – on the outside, only God knows how long it will take each of them to heal from the pain and confusion on the inside.

We also continue to receive numerous inquiries regarding Randy. Randy did not survive this horrible ordeal and passed away on that tragic Friday night. Like all of you who truly knew Randy, I also knew my nephew as a gentle, kind, extremely warm-hearted and loving soul, a devoted, loving and caring father and husband, an absolute trophy of a son and overall an all-around compassionate person to every one he knew.

Services for Randy will be held on a “still to-be-determined” Saturday in the coming weeks at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. Details to follow in future posts.

For those of you, who have also channeled your love and support, or want to do so, in the form of donating to Marcai toward covering the needs of such forthcoming expenses as living, surgeries, counseling, etc., your generosity and benevolence does not go unnoticed nor can be underestimated. Here is the GoFundMe crowdfunding link: www.gofundme.com/MarcaiVanwoerkom

Thank you for your continued love & prayers, every one of them is felt and is helping! During this fragile & highly sensitive time, thank you for respecting the family’s space as they work to sort things out physically, mentally & in ways we cannot even begin to fathom.
