Jane Van Roekel Deeb M.D.

My family and I are so grateful to Dr. Van Roekel for all of the years she she was there for our children. I first met her as a first time pregnant mom who had many questions, and she answered them all and made me feel that everything would be okay. Knowing that she and her wonderful staff would be there for us was so reassuring. My children faced both ordinary and extraordinary issues through their growing up years, but knowing that Dr. Jane was there helped us through all of our trials. ...

Dear Robert,

Al and I live in Ocala, FL but come to IGH in the summer. Right now, we are renting a student apartment for 5 weeks at U of M, Duluth. I did not hear of Jane's death until yesterday. I am so sorry. I did not know her cancer had returned. I will always have my memories of working with Jane at her first office in Divine Remeemer. It was my first office nursing job and I needed a glass of wine by the end of the day--and I don't drink. You must all miss her so...

Our entire family is saddened to hear of Dr. Van Roekels passing. I have two children who have gone to Dakota Peds since birth. Over the past few yrs, our kids were diagnosed with diabetes. While they were hospitalized, Dr Van Roekel was there- going through the notes,tests etc. Asking questions. We have always felt we had such a strong advocate in her. Dr Van Roekel will be missed and was certainly a blessing to those of us who were fortunate to have met her.
God bless the...

I was so sorry to read of Dr. Van Roekel's passing today in the Inver Grove paper. I went to Dr. Van Roekel when she practiced on Thompson and then to Inver Grove. My children were also lucky enough to have her for their dr. for some years. I have to say that my youngest child was born with a stroke to the spinal cord, (unbeknownest to us) and Dr. Van Roekel came to see him and had him immediately transfered and to this day, i believe it saved his life. We are forever going to miss Dr. Van...

I send many warm thoughts and prayers to Dr. Van Roekel's family and those in her clinic and under her care. I remember working with Dr. Van Roekel when I was a resident rotating at Children's Hospitals and Clinics. During the month's rotation, we shared in the care of a child with complex medical issues. She handled each moment of a child's journey with compassion and skill. I feel privileged for the chance to have learned from her. She truly made the world a better place.

My deepest sympathy to Dr. Van Roekel's family and colleagues. I can only begin to imagine how much she'll be missed by them and her patients. She became my pediatrician 32 years ago, and her compassion was beyond measure. I was grateful to her several years ago for allowing me to shadow her in a day of practice. The care she provided for me and my siblings has certainly made a significant impression on how I practice pediatric cardiology to this day.

My Family sends our deepest sympathy to you and your family. Dr. Van Roekel has treated my kids and was always willing to answer any question we thrown at her. So we ask why they always take the good and kind hearted ones. Well There must be a good reason, she has all the heart to take care of all our kids when they come to her down the road and he trusted her. Love and Prayers from My family to yours. The Burgers

I was a patient of Dr. Van Roekels for 10 years. During those years she made all of my visits fun and was a very calm doctor to be around. She had a way of explaining things to me so I could understand and learn about myself. Me and my family had no idea that she was even sick, or had breast cancer in the past. She always had a smile on her face even if there was bad news to tell me. She made me feel like I wasnt the only kid dealing with what I have to deal with. I hope she knew she...
