Toet, Leonard Martin
Our heavenly Father, in His infinite wisdom, called Marty home on April 6, 2013 after a courageous battle with cancer.  Marty was the beloved husband of Erica (nee Veenendaal) and father of Johnathan, Thomas, Sean, Davin and Kailynn.  He was a loving son of John and Audrey Toet and dear brother of Amanda and Mike Nederveen, Jolene and Ivan Byl, Russell and Jossi Toet, Ashley and Matthew Tiggelaar.  A loving son-in-law of Peter and Trudy Veenendaal, Marty was also a dear brother-in-law of Melanie and Theo Beijes, Chris and Kristen Veenendaal, Alison Veenendaal and Darryl Shpak, Trevor and Kelly Veenendaal, Owen Veenendaal and Arlene Vanderdeen, and Regan Veenendaal.  He was the cherished oldest grandson of Leonard and Janni Toet and Sy and Jenny Raap.  He will be missed by 5 nieces, 7 nephews, many aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, colleagues and students. Marty will also be missed by past and present students of Maranatha/Emmanuel Christian Schools where he spent his entire 15 year teaching career.The family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the Canadian Reformed Church and School communities, neighbours and Juravinski Hospital staff for the love, care and compassion shown to him and to us all, especially during the last nine months. Friends may pay respects and meet the family at The Emmanuel Canadian Reformed Church, 8037 Highway 7, Guelph (on Tuesday, April 9;  2 – 4 and 7 – 9 p.m).  Funeral service will be held at the church on Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11 a.m. Arrangements entrusted to GILCHRIST CHAPEL – McIntyre & Wilkie Funeral Home (519-824-0031).    In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Emmanuel Christian School Athletics Department would be appreciated.  We invite you to leave your memories and donations online at:  www.gilchristchapel.com

  4. May the Word of the Lord comfort and sustain you all in the days, weeks and months ahead.

    But now thus says the Lord,
    he who created you, O Jacob,
    he who formed you, O Israel:
    “Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
    I have called you by name, you are mine.
    When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
    and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
    when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
    and the flame shall not consume you.
    For I am the Lord your God,
    the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour". Isaiah 43

    Our thoughts and prayers are for all of you.

  9. My utmost sympathy to Erica, her children, the Toet and Venendaal families during this difficult time. Our prayer for Marty have been answered, he is healed, and now without pain. He is most blessed to be in the presence of our Saviour. My sympathy is for those left behind who must carry on without him. I feel your pain and pray that you look to the Lord for help, because "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Is 40:31

  11. My calendar text for Marty's birthday was: Luke 20:36 Neither can they die anymore: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

    For the day of his promotion to glory: Ps 94:19: In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

    May the God of all comforts surround you, Erica, your children, your family, and our school and church community with all strength and comfort, which only He can give.

  15. Praying the Lord continues to give you the strength you need, especially today as you lay the body of your loved one to rest. We know that his earthly tent has fallen to the ground all worn and rent, but his spiritual body is with Christ in heaven. What a comfort.
    May the love from your family and friends carry you through this difficult time.

  18. I have been following your story. It was with great sadness I read this last entry this morning. I do hope that all the family will feel God's loving & sympathetic arms around them. So glad to hear that there are so many there to support & comfort you all. Being part of a caring church is so special ... and I am sure your wider family are there for you even with their own grief. Take care Erica ... please know that there are "strangers" praying for you at this difficult time. Hugs & Prayers xxx
