    I received this tonight from Jacob Groenveld, Jan Groenveld's son:

    As you are probably all aware my mother, Jan Groenveld passed away last week at 3.15am,
    October 22nd at the tender age of 57 and was finally laid to rest yesterday morning at a very 
    touching service attended by many of her closest friends, Family and "extended" family. The
    auditorium was filled to capacity and overflowing and I was honoured that my mother was thought
    of so deeply by so many and that she had such an impact on so many lives.
     
    This will be the final email sent using Jan's email address as the Internet account will be deactivated
    within the next 7 days.
     
    I am writing to you all for two reasons, the first is a heart felt plea to all her supporters - those 
    people out there in cyberspace who were blessed by her work and who utilised the many services
    of the Cult Awareness & Information Center web site and the Freedom In Christ ministry...
     
    To provide such a unique and vital service on such a grand scale was not cheap and 
    unfortunately following Mums passing I am only now uncovering the extent of the many
    outstanding bills and accounts that her ministry has incurred in providing this essential 
    service the suppliers of which are now asking for immediate payment - a burden that 
    my father and myself simply cannot afford at this point in time.
     
    So it is with much trepidation and shear blind faith that I am appealing to each and every
    one of you to please find it in your hearts to dig a little deeper just once more in honor of a
    truly wonderful servant of the Lord and allow us the dignity of settling the ministry 
    accounts promptly and efficiently so that the good work performed by Jan does not get 
    tarnished with the legacy of unpaid bills and outstanding debts.
     
    It is preferable that donations be made by using the PAYPAL link on the 
    website http://www.caicusa.org
     
    Or by post to:
     
     The CAIC Final Appeal
     PO Box 2444
     Mansfield QLD 4122
     AUSTRALIA
     
    (Cheques & Money Orders to be made payable to Freedom In Christ)...
     
    Additionally 
    My main task this week (apart from organising the funeral and farewelling my mother) 
    was to ensure that her ministry will live on to help others and attempting to coordinate the 
    many people necessary to assume the various functions she performed - if this is at all
    possible. As these soldiers step forward I shall arrange for their details to be posted to the
    CAIC Web Site accordingly.
     
    In the meantime, the other contact sites around the world will need to share the load. Please check
    the CAIC site for other links & contacts.
     
    The CAIC website is currently hosted by the QLD University and the costs for this have been
    staggering to say the least. Mum started to organise for the transfer of her site and I have continued
    with this task amongst others over the past 7 days. I am happy to announce that the CAIC site 
    will now be hosted in the USA by Mr Patrick Roberge under the USA domain name 
    www.caicusa.org
     
    Patrick can be contacted on [email protected] or phone 603-624-7096
     
    So as you can see, I have been and still am working frantically to ensure that Mums work does not
    die along with her.
     
    I thank you all in advance for your support and generosity at this critical time.
     
    Yours in Christ
     
    Jacob Groenveld
     

    Thank you.

    By the way, I sent Jacob links to all the threads where everyone expressed their condolences about his mother's passing.

    He asked me to thank you all for the messages of sympathy, he was "touched" (his own words) and he said he would pass them on to his father to read.
