A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS


God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

Hello Jackie!
How is Kindergarten? I want to hear all about it sometime. Jack loves it. He is going to St. Vincent's. His teacher tells me often that he is a "character". We went to the orchard a couple of weeks ago and rode on the wagon. It reminded me of all the fun times at Center for Child Studies. That made me think of you, and I wondered how you were. I hope you are enjoying this beautiful October. Hugs and more hugs. Love,
"Ms. Mary"

I have urgent prayer requests. A 9 year fourth grade boy in Kyle's class at Blevins Elementary was just diagnosed & started chemo yesterday. His name is Dean Sindel. Kyle has played sports with him throughtout the years. He is at Cardinal Glennon. His Dad is a Eureka Police Officer & his Mom is a Speech Pathologist like you. My heart is aching. I don't have full information, but the protocol sounds like Jackie's. Please let everyone on your CaringBridge network know. Thanks.

Hi Miss Jackie,

I was thinking about you today and thought I would check in and see how you were doing. I know you are probably so excited to start kindergarten next year. Zachariah is really excited. I just wish you guys could go to the same school. You would be such good friends. Oh well, you can still be friends! Are you excited about spending time with your mommy this summer? Hopefully we can come see you and play together alot!

Hi Jackie!
It's been a long time since I've dropped you a note in your guestbook. I thought I'd stop by to say hello. Jack was so excited to tell me you were walking without your walker at school. Then, I got to see you myself!! I'm so happy for you and am so pleased that you are doing so well. I hope you feel better from your surgery. Next time I see you at school, I want to see that beautiful smile of yours (minus a couple of front teeth!) You are the sweetest and cutest!! See you soon! Tell your Mom and your Aunt Missy I said HI!
God bless you!
Love,
Ms. Mary

Jackie,

Have you ever heard the song, All I Want for christmas is my Two Front Teeth? Maybe you will get yours for Easter. I bet you look so cute without your front teeth. I don't know how you could get much cuter. I hope you are doing okay. Now that the weather is starting to warm up maybe you and Zachariah can get together and play. That would be a lot of fun. Are you getting excited about starting kindergarten? It won't be that long! Have a great week.

Jackie,

I want to let you know that I will be praying very hard on Monday for you! I know Jesus will be with you and hold your hand during your surgery. Just try to be a brave little soldier. I know it will be very hard. You are such a sweetie! One of these days we will get to see each other again. You may have to come over and teach me how to walk. I'm wearing one of those black boots on my left leg to help me walk right now. Falling on the ice wasn't much fun. Zachariah thought it was really cool that his mommy got to ride in an ambulance. I didn't think it was very cool. I hope all goes well for you Monday. I love you!

Love,
Jennifer

Thank God for good counts. I hear the walking is getting better all the time! That's great! No more surgeries after this one, ok??? Jackie, I'm so proud of you. You are such a strong & brave girl! Jackie--you are ALOT like your MAMA! Let's get rid of that port & not only end the chapter, but God willing, CLOSE THE BOOK on that entire story.

Congratulations to Tricia on getting the part in South Pacific. Please let me know when the production is--I want to come down & see you! Dede & Paul--are you grinning from ear to ear about this?? She's Hollywood bound!

Hey J-girl,

I am so glad to hear that all is going well your way! I told Zachariah you could walk all the way across the room all by yourself. He was sooooo excited!!! I hope your surgery goes well on the sixteenth. I will definetely be thinking about you all day. You will feel so much better when it is all over. I am for sure going to have to come see you very soon. I haven't seen you in such a long time.
Take care of yourself this week and let's hope we don't get too much snow.

I can't wait to go see another movie with you. You sure do love popcorn. I loved hearing you laugh during the movie. You are such a sweetheart! If I ever have a little girl I hope she is as sweet as you. If not I will just have to share you with your mommy. I sure hope your Daddy starts feeling better soon. I heard he had to go back to the hospital. I will pray that Jesus will heal him very soon. I love you!

Dede,
I couldn't agree with your entry more & I know I feel the same way. There is not a day that goes by that I don't thank God that Jackie is here & also not a day that goes by that I don't think about all the families that must go on trusting that God is taking care of their precious little angels in Heaven. It completely & totally breaks my heart thinking of these families, but I am also thankful that I have been exposed to this whole very large extended family & can add my prayers in for those fighting the battles.

Thanks for the phone call from Jackie! The kids REALLY enjoyed talking to her, alot!!! I'll see you soon for Dora & we will be coming to Cape for Thanksgiving.

I agree with you. We sometimes have to go forward. There is nothing wrong with that and I too will always be SO thankful for the children that led the way for us to see the miracle in Holly. I for sure put thanking God in the first and foremost in that healing for Holly. I saw to many miracles to say it was just all medicine. It was NOT. There were doctors not explaining things with Holly. God was there all the time. I praise with your family at the progress Jackie is doing. What a miracle for us all to witness. I pray for the healing to continue and the days, months, and years to continue to pass you by. I know there are times that get tough, but continue to look for the healing that only Jesus can supply.

Well - we did it!!! We went to my hairdresser and you got your hair cut into an adorable bob. I didn't think you could get any cuter - but I was wrong!!!!!!! Everybody loves your new "do".

It brings joy to my heart now that you are enjoying life every minute of every day. We knew being off chemo would make a big difference but WOW!!! You are the smile and energy queen.

I love you so much - and I will always be there for you.

Jackie,
Hey sweetie. How are you doing? I hope we get to see you this Saturday at playgroup. I feel like we haven't seen you in a million years. Zachariah has been a very naughty boy. He had to go to the hospital last night, because he might have taken some of his daddy's medicine. He had to drink a big glass of black yucky stuff. He didn't like that very much. Thank the good lord he is okay. I hope everything is going good your way. I'm sure you are enjoying school. We love you.

Your J-girl,Jennifer

Hey there Jackey! You probably don't know who I am , but either your mommy or your nana continue to write in my daughters journal faithfully. It is so nice to see someone has visited and signed our book. That someone is going through the rough times with us. I am so glad to hear that you are going to Disney World!!! We just had our interview and look to be going to our make-a-wish (to Disney World) sometime in the early spring. Around April or March. I was hoping we could go over spring break for the other children. When are you all going?
You know we have six children. Amya is the youngest of them and we have two special needs. Amya, and Gaige. Gaige is my 6 year old. There are total of three girls and three boys. Jessica 16, Demetrius 13, Makayla 10, Gaige 6, Tai soon to be 5, and Amya 3. We have been so blessed, both with our family and the friends God is leading us to. It has been a journey as you all well know. I will let you go. I just wanted you to know I look forward to your entries. I am glad to hear you are doing so well.
God Bless.

How's my little J-girl doing? We were so disappointed that we didn't get to go out to eat with you and to the football game. I hope we can get together soon. Zachariah was very sad. He wanted to see his friend, Jackie. I hope all is going well your way. Tell your mommy thank you for the lipstick. It is beautiful! Call me some time and we will talk.

J-girl,

How have you been doing? I know that I haven't signed in for a while. I have been thinking about you though. Did you go to the parade on Saturday? Zachariah and I went to the parade then we went to Pioneer Orchard. We had a very busy day, Saturday. I hope you got rid of those nasty sniffles your Mommy told me you had. Maybe we can get together again soon! I need a little boost from your sweet little face. Love you a lots!
P.S. Maybe we can all go to the football game together Thursday night.

Jackie Lou,

It was so good to come over and see you today. I was kind of feeling sorry for myself, but after seeing you playing it really lifted my spirits. I'm glad I got to meet your Aunt Missy. I see why you like her so much. Thanks for letting me borrow your vacuum cleaner. I'm still disappointed you didn't want to come and help me. I don't blame you! I will talk to you later.

Jackie,

How are you sweetheart? Zachariah has been feeling kind of yucky the last two days. His daddy has to have surgery Monday on his belly. Maybe you can send an extra prayer this way. Have you been having a great time at school? I can't believe your Nana bought you a whole new wardrobe. What a lucky little girl! I bet you look like a fashion model in all of your new clothes. You will have to model them for us someday. Hope you have a great weekend.
Love,

We will not be done with our mission until we stop losing our Caring Bridge friends. It just breaks my heart each & every time we lose another sweet little person. I feel like we have been so blessed by having Jackie make it through so triumphantly. The whole experience has really changed my own perspective on life itself & caused me to become a little more thoughtful & hopefully a little more giving of myself, especially when I see how blessed I've been personally to basically have had a "no bumps" life. It makes me want to give & give & give!!!!! & God knows, Dede, you've pretty much had the "bumps" life & yet you continue to give & give & give!! Please always know, I am always 1000% in your corner in every way, every day! If there is anything good that has come out of this horrible deal, is that we've had the opporutunity to meet so many special & caring people through Caring Bridge, don't you think. Let me clarify...That would be the ONLY good thing.

& HERE'S TO YOU MY LITTLE SWEETNESS--NO MORE MEDS!!! NO MORE BLASTS EVER!!!I'm thanking the Lord that you are here! You are a very special person & you are surrounded by people who love you more than life itself!!!
Love, Aunt Bea

Hey Jackie Lou,

Zachariah was so excited to see you riding your horse. Was that Windy that we hear about? You looked so beautiful on top of that big horsey. I was pretty excited to see my little friend too! You looked like you were having the best time of your life. Your mom said you looked pretty tired by the end of the parade. I bet riding a horse for that long is hard work. I hope we can get together. We have been so busy lately. Have a great day at school!

Dede, I hope your dads surgery went well. By now Jackie should be off treatment too. Its weird, almost anti-climatic, I felt like thats it!? After 3 years of this, we just come to a screeching halt and go back to normal? And a big part of it is that now everyone expects you to be over it, you're suddenly not supposed to live in fear. I am dreading this coming winter because the school will be full of sick little kids, I'm ready to hermetically seal him in latex.....

My darling angel girl -

Yesterday was the day!!!! No more chemo. It has been a long 2 1/2 years for you and everyone who loves you, but I always knew that you were such a strong girl that you would make it thru and come out smiling.....

You didn't smile much while you were at the Costas Center yesterday - everyone always said it would get easier for you as time passed, but you are such a smart cookie, you always knew that this was not a day of fun. But when we got home you were as happy as a lark.

Monday afternoon you go to preschool - without being bothered by chemo and steroids!!!!!! I know that you will love school even more now with no tummyaches and no loss of energy after chemo.

We will continue to enjoy our time together. How you love pretending games, painting, your Kelly dolls, your books (especially when Papa reads them to you), your cassette tapes, your videos, chicken nuggets for lunch, pretzels for a snack, and going swimming in Aunt Missy's pool every afternoon that the weather is good.

You are a joy and a blessing in our lives. I love you and will always be there for you. Nana

You just be a brave girl and remember that it is all almost over with. You are such a sweetheart. Zachariah asked me if we could go to the doctor with you today. I told him you were in St. Louis. He said we can go to St. Louis. I had to explain to him that it is really far away. I told him to just think about you a lot today.

Hi Jackie. Sorry I haven't written in awhile. Somehow I lost your link on my computer, (but I found it again). I was so excited to see you the other day when you went to school for your orientation. It was good to see your Nana too. She is such a strong woman. I know this week will be hard on her - so make sure you give her plenty of extra smiles & hugs she will need them. You are a very lucky girl to have such wonderful women in your life. Every little girl needs role models like your mom, Nana & aunts.

Tim, Abby & I can't wait to party down when this chemo ends. Abby has learned how to squeal with delight (she found her loud button this week) - so she is definitely ready to celebrate :) We'll be thinking of you this week. Love you guys!

I cant even remember life before all this....I guess its just another part of our journey - the better part!!!

We just returned from a wonderul trip to "Floorda" and I have to tell you, I thought of you many times while we were there. We rode the waves too!! It was beautiful and we loved our time on the beach. Guess what we saw?? A STINGRAY! It was very close by and swimming slowly and elegantly. I could have almost touched it, but I did not!! Jack built many sandcastles and he rode the waves with his daddy. I'm so glad to hear your counts are good. I'll see you soon when school starts. Love,

Hey Jackie lou,

Your mom told me that you had fantastic counts yesterday. I am so happy for you. I can't believe you are almost finished with all your chemo. That is so exciting. Do you think we need to get together and celebrate? Now I feel yucky. I think I have a nasty old sinus infection. Maybe you can say a little extra prayer for me. I don't need this the first week of school. I hope you are having fun with your Nana.

HELLO HELLO HELLO BEAUTIFUL MISS JACKIE!!!!

How are you? I have been so busy these past few months with my surgeries and now some more exciting news. You will have to have your mommy tell you all about it. I have been checking in on you as often as possible and think about you guys all the time. I sure was jealous that I couldn't go to Florida with you. Sounds like you had a wonderful time anyway!! Hope you took lots of pictures! It won't be long now before you will be finished with your yucky medicine. How awesome will that be. Glad to hear that you have been feeling well. That is such great news. Sounds like you have had a very busy summer. It's hard to believe the summer is almost over. I told your mommy to keep me posted as to when you will be finished with your chemo, I'd love to try and get out to see you again! You take care of yourself! Angel Tammy loves you very much!!

Did you have fun at the Wiggles last night? I'm sure there was a lot of dancing and singing going on. I told Zachariah that you had to go back to the doctor. He was worried about you. He told his grandma that she should meet you because you are soooooooo beautiful. I just love it when he says that. He is such a sweetheart as well as you. You two make the perfect couple. Friends I'm talking about of course. You guys are a little too young to date still. Zachariah loves his Jackie and so do I. We both hope your sinuses are feeling better. Talk to you soon.

How have you been doing? Your mom said you are starting to feel better after that nasty old cold you had. We were talking and we are so excited because you and Zachariah will be starting kindergarten at the same time. We hope you guys can go to the same school. Wouldn't that be awesome? Zachariah would love that. Everytime he sees your picture he still says there is my jackie. She is so beautiful! He really likes you. He just got his hair cut today and the lady put a bunch of yellow gel in his hair. I think he looks very funny, but he likes it a lot. He kind of looks like an easter egg. I guess I'll let you go. Good night beautiful girl.
Love,

Happy Birthday, Sweet Jackie!! I want to tell you how happy I am to have you in my summer school class. It is such fun to see your face light up when we sing and I LOVE to see you reading books. No one loves a book quite like you do!! As my Jack says, you are beautiful. Tuesday, I will have a birthday crown for you with a BIG "5" on it and you may decorate it any way you like. (Don't forget, we have lots of glitter and glue!!) I'm so sorry about your Grandfather. I saw that in the paper yesterday. I will say extra prayers for all of you today. I will see you soon at school. Guess what we are studying this week?? Oceans and the beach!! You'll have to tell the boys and girls about riding the waves in Florida. Can't wait to see you!
Lots of love,
Ms. Mary

I was so excited to hear you had such great counts. I never cease to be amazed. I'm sorry your grandpa isn't doing very well. We will be praying that the lord gives him comfort and doesn't make him go through much suffering. I hope you have the best birthday ever. You certainly deserve it after all you have been through in your short little life. Zachariah and I can't wait to see you again.

Hey sweetpea how are you doing? Zachariah says he wants to tell you something. Here he goes. "I love you." I'll see you soon. " I hope you guys are having fun on vacation. We just got back from ours. Now I am having to go to physical therapy three days a week for my knee. I bet you know all about that therapy stuff. They wore me out the first day. It won't be long and me and your mommy will have to go back to work. What a bummer!!! We will talk to you soon. Zachariah says he loves you again. He is such a sweetie.

Hi,

I am so sorry you had a bad visit with the clinic. I really wonder if they are getting to many children with not enough doctors. I heard from Valerie they had record dx in the beginning of the year. I don't know if Dr. C is back yet from his surgery. I really wonder with everything going on with Holly why Dr. G didn't run some of these liver tests. I will have plenty of questions for him in August if not sooner. I know they are busy, but we have also spent our time there and insurance has paid out big bucks for them to spend time and care with all of us too. Sorry to vent, but reading your entry made me mad at the care Jackie received.

I saw your entry on Hannah and Madeline's page about the NICU. My son was in a NICU for the 1st week of his life where they did a LOT of X RAY's on him, not to mention all of the other children that they did them on. At 13 months my son was dx with AML. He passed away on June 2, 2003 after a 4 year battle. He did so good through everything. I'm with you on the x-ray exposure. Saying prayers for your little one, Dina Makoid

I know sometimes it can be overwhelming with everyone around. One of these days I'm going to come see you so just me and you can talk. I want you to tell me a bunch of riddles! You are so good at that. Zachariah loved his birthday present. Thank you guys so much for thinking of him. He really likes you a lot. I better go for now. I've got to go clean. YUK!

I'm sitting here counting my blessings & taking comfort in the fact that sweet Jackie is getting stronger & moving closer to the end of this whole ordeal. I cannot wait for the day many years from now when all this is just a memory and Jackie is big & strong & cancer free for many many years. I just signed off Colby's sight, as I have followed him daily for months now & Heaven has a new Angel Boy. Its so hard to accept that these precious little people are going to Heaven too soon. God, please know that I pray for complete healing for our Jackie & all the other little people out there who are fighting the beast. What brave little soldiers they are.

Hi my darling angel girl!!!!

I know you will have a great day at the zoo today!

Only three more days of our usual routine and then Mommy goes on summer vacation. Papa and I will miss your smiling face arriving at our house every day - but we will have lots of good times together over the summer.

You are maturing so fast, it is making my head swim. The conversations we have now are incredible. It's hard for me to believe that a year ago you were just beginning to shape words and now you chatter like a magpie all day long. Your voice is such sweet music to our ears. We never tire of it - even when you get a little bossy and say "Nana, sit down right here and we will read a story." Your imagination is beautiful. Sometimes I am Rosalinda and you are Ruby (from Max and Ruby)or you are Baby Bear and I am Susan or you are Big Bird and I am Granny Bird. We play pretend a lot!!!!

I watch you get stronger every day and thank God for your continued progress on your journey back to health. I love you and I will always be there for you. Love, Nana

I guess its not everday that your best friend moves to Minnesota. I was a little melancholy myself!! BUT...Shannon is very excited about going to the zoo with Jackie. I think she'll be ok by this weekend!! Hope you had a safe trip home. I'm so glad the counts are sooo good that you're comfortable with visiting with my germy little family!!!! :=0 (that's a pig nose from Aunt Bea for Jackie) Love you guys.

For all those members of Team Jackie, (and any team member wanna-be's), I got my team captain kit for the Light the Night Walk, in the mail yesterday. Sept. 12th is the day. I'll be distributing fund raiser envelopes pretty soon. We want to raise BIG BUCKS for a cure for the leukemia beast. I can't wait to walk the walk with precious Jackie with us on our walk this year! Shannon absolutely LOVES to push her around in the stroller. They had a great time at Bear in the Big Blue House last week, so cute together. They were holding hands at one point.:-)

Is hearing that little voice saying those funny things like sweet music to your ears or what??? Miss Jackie is certainly a miracle child, so special. With everything she has been challenged by in her four years, isn't it great that she is just concerned with the things that all four year olds are concerned with...like presents. I do hope your stress levels are going down considerably with the progress she is making in all areas. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how you're getting by from day to day, so when I see such positive updates, I truly feel that everything is going to be ok. ;-D Love you guys,

Hey there sweet little girl!

Just got back from the doctor. She says things look good, so now I will start my physical therapy. She said no to the horse back riding and swimming though...BUMMER! So you know what? You will have to do that stuff for Angel Tammy, okay? It makes me so happy to hear that you are doing so wonderful. You are such a sweetheart! Reading about the things you are doing and saying makes me want to come and visit you again so bad. It reminds me so much of my trip out there and sure brings back lots of good memories. Just a couple more months of taking your medicine and then you can have your big celebration party. How cool is that? Sounds like everyone your way is doing well, which is great news. You will have to give everyone a big hug from me, okay? Sounds like you are having a wonderful time with your new friends. That is great! No one can ever have too many friends. Take care sweetie! Love ya lots!! :)

It sounds like you are doing great! I love the funny things you have been saying. You can't open a present and dance while you are going potty you silly girl. Have you been using your flower cup I got you? Zachariah can't wait to see you again. You are going to have to come to his birthday party in a few weeks. He keeps saying he wants to invite you. I am so glad we came into each others lives. God has a special way of uniting special people. I hope you have a great week. Make sure and watch plenty of Dora.

SWWWWEEEEEEEETIE!!!

How are you? I have missed checking in on you and signing your guestbook! Well, actually I have missed YOU all together, but we already knew that, right? Angel Tammy is back at work now, trying to work hard. I am slowly but surely getting back to my old self, but you should see me walk! I look pretty funny and of course everyone laughs at me. Oh well, at least I can get from point A to point B...it may take me a lot longer, but I eventually get there. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH...ALL OF YOU...for the BEAUTIFUL flowers! They were delivered just as I came home from round two at the hospital. I will have to admit, they brought tears to my eyes. I did not expect them and I was very suprised. So once again, THANK YOU!!! Ike took very good care of me the day of surgery and for several days after that. I really thank God that I had him to help me, sometimes I think I would be lost without him. I go in next week to have the staples removed and then I will start physical therapy. Say Miss Jackie, do you think I will get to do fun stuff like horse back riding and swimming for my therapy?? I wouldn't mind that, but I have a feeling that won't be on their agenda. BUMMER!! At any rate, I have a lot to accomplish in the next couple of months to get back walking good enough to join you for the Light the Night walk in St. Louis. If I can't make the long walk, maybe we could talk Daddy into pulling you and I in a wagon. Wouldn't that be funny?? I bet a lot of people would think we were really silly, huh? I see my friend Kelly signed your guestbook and let you know how I was. That was really nice of her. I'm glad to read that things are going well on your end...except for the vehicle issues Paul and Dede! That really does stink, but yes, we have Jackie with us and WELL...so that is worth more than anything in this world. I am getting ready to leave work for the day, so I am gonna sign off. You guys all take care and Miss Jackie I love you so very very much!!! Lots and lots of hugs and kisses!!
Take Care! :)

Hey beautiful girl,

I bet you are a wrinkled up prune after being in the swimming pool for so long yesterday. We had fun. How about you? You and Zachariah looked so cute in the swimming pool together. We can't wait to see you again. I hope you enjoy spending time with your Mommy today on Mother's Day. You have been blessed with a very special Mommy. Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Love,

Hi Jackie-
This is angel Tammy's friend Kelly. She wanted me to tell you that she is doing well and her surgery went just fine. I was with her the whole day and she did just awesome. She got your flowers today and she says thank you. It was very thoughtful and she said they are beautiful. The medicine they gave her to make her sleep for the surgery has kind of upset her tummy, but she's doing better with that so she may be at work on Monday. It will depend on how she feels. She sends you her love and misses you a bunch!!!!
You are a lucky girl to have her love you so much. And ya know I think I'm pretty lucky to have her as my friend.
You take care and keep doing good. We'll talk to you again soon!!!

Angel hugs,
Angel Kelly

She is just getting bigger & stronger & better & healthier every day isn't she? That is so remarkable isn't it? Not to mention that she is getting funnier & could she possibly get any more cuter?? Bummer about the Expedition...but it really is just like you said. I want to talk with you about your infant friend?? I will certainly say a prayer for them. I know you know what it feels like to walk in those shoes too. Love you guys. Hopefully we'll see you sometime soon. I almost brought Shannon down to visit last weekend, but for some reason I didn't & sure enough, she ran a fever on Saturday night & Sunday. WHEW!!!

Fabulous news! About Jackie anyway. The news about your transmission is a real bummer. I believe that everything will work out in your favor though. It is great to know that Jackie is getting stronger each and everyday. We will definitely pray for the other children and keep Jackie in our prayers as well. I am so glad we were put together. I feel so privileged to know your family.
Have a great weekend,

How's it going? So glad you had such good counts. That's Grrrreat!! How was your Easter? Did the Easter Bunny find you? I hope you and your family had a wonderful day. Mine was nice and yes, the Easter Bunny hopped on over to Minnesota too! The kids got lots of candy...I can finally throw the left over Halloween candy out for good! It is finally starting to get nice in Minnesota. I think it is done snowing for the season...at least it best be! Can't wait to pull out the shorts and go swimming. Sounds like it has been nice in Missouri. That's wonderful! I read that Nana played in the sandbox with you. Wow! Sounds like fun! Do you care to share your Nana with Angel Tammy? I am always up for a little fun. I have been thinking about all of you, as usual. It was wonderful talking to you guys over the weekend. Next time it will be under different circumstances and just "because"!! Give your mom, dad and Trisha a hug for me and make sure they give you a giant one in return! I love you tons and tons!
Take care sweetie!

Hi Jackie-
I'm one of angel Tammy's friends. I was with her and angel Sheryl on Friday. I saw the pictures of Tammy's visit with you. I knew you were a cutie, but WOW!!! Looked like you had lots of fun while Tammy (and aunt Patty-can't forget her) was there. She is a pretty awesome gal, huh? We had lots of silly time on Friday, you know crazy things happen when angels get together!!!

Hope your Easter was a good one!!

Take care sweetie!!

Hi Jackie. I hope you had a wonderful Easter yesterday. I was thinking about you. My niece Tricia was hunting for Easter eggs and I was wondering if you were doing the same thing?! I'm sorry I missed seeing you the other day at your house. I saw your beautiful Easter dress hanging on the door. Daddy showed me your new tub that will have bubbles - how fun. It sounds like he will be ready to have that project finished. Your mommy is such a sweetheart for having a little baby shower for me on Friday. It was so much fun. Everyone is so excited about the baby coming in just a few weeks. I know you are excited too. Tell Nana hi for me and Happy Easter. I'll talk to you soon sweet girl. Love, Pam

To My Darling Angel Girl and all of our family and friends - HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!

IT IS SO WONDERFUL TO HAVE MY GIRL BACK TO HER SMILING ADORABLE SELF!!!! It makes my heart sing. I asked you yesterday what you wanted to do after your nap and you said, "Actually Nana, I think this would be a perfect day to play in my sand box." So, of course, that is what we did. This morning, your Daddy mowed our lawn 'cause Papa had surgery on his shoulder Wednesday (he is doing just great, by the way). You and I sat on the front steps and blew bubbles. It wasn't all that long ago that you didn't have enough breath power to blow your own bubbles - but you are sure good at it now!!!!!

I know the Easter Bunny will be very good to you and Tricia because you are both such good girls. Don't eat too much candy!!!!!

I love you and I will always be there for you.

That is super wonderful that Nana is there to help you and your Mommy and Daddy out! She is a super, super cool lady! You are all so wonderful to have such a special person in your lives. But you know what? I bet your Nana thinks that she is the lucky one to have such wonderful people in her life!! It goes both ways!! And you know what? It's times like this where we really take a look at things and realize how lucky we are to have friends and family that are so dear to the heart!

That message was totally from Zachariah. He asked me if he could tell you some stuff if I would type it for him. He thinks he really knows you up close and personal. We both hope you have a good week and enjoy this nice weather. We will all have to get together soon!

Jackie Jo - Hi Peanut, sorry I haven't been over to see you in a few days. Kate is has been so puny that I did not want to take any chances of you getting her awful virus! Are you still missing Cheno Angel Tanny and Aunt Paady? Me too! I feel like we have great new friends in our lives! Well, I hope you are feeling better too sweetie so you and Nana can come see me at work next week! I love you sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!!!

Hi Jackie, how are you doing? I saw that your chemo angel Tammy got to come visit you this weekend. What a nice weekend it was to have a visitor too. It sounds like you guys had a lot of fun together and go to be really good friends. I am so glad to see that your counts are staying up there where they need to be. Way to go Jackie!! I hope you have already gotten rid of that cold, or that it is at least on its way out. Have a good week sweetie!!

WOW! What a perfect journal entry...and I have to privledge to say it is about me! Dede did a wonderful job depicting our weekend. We had nothing but smiles and giggles...well okay, some tears too...all weekend! All in all, the weather was perfect (it's a tad bit chilly in Minnesota), the food was great, the conversation was touching...YOU ARE ALL SO WONDERFUL!! I never in a million years would have dreamed that when I first contacted Jackie, things would have turned out this way! I feel very fortunate to have come across Jackie! She has definitely made a HUGE impact on my life. I will continue to follow her journey...not only while she is fighting this monster, but in the future when she has beat this horrible disease! I will be there to watch this beautiful little lady grow up and reach the many milestones she has ahead of her. I love you bunches!!! Thanks again, ALL OF YOU, for a wonderful trip and memorable weekend!!

My darling Angel Girl....

Although you just went home from my house a couple of hours ago, I still felt the need to write you a note to tell you how much I love you - and to add my two cents about this past weekend.

What an incredible experience this weekend was for our family. Two "strangers" popped into our lives and became an extended part of our family almost instantly. We are now richer by two more people who love you and cared enough to make the trip from Minnesota just to visit you. God must surely love us!!!!!

I love you and I will always be there for you.

Jackie,
It sounds like you had the time of your life this weekend. It is amazing to me that you are so young and have touched so many peoples lives.

Zachariah has to go to the doctor tomorrow. He was up all night last night with some sort of stomach virus. We are sorry to hear you have a cold. It's wonderful to know your counts are up! We sure think about you a lot.

Zachariah can't wait for it to warm up. Your mommy and I said maybe you and Zachariah can go to McDonalds one day and eat and play in the play house there.

We will be thinking about you this week. Keep up the smiles and giggles!
Love,

Jennifer and Zachariah Stevens

Hi Sweet pea. I'm glad to hear you had such a wonderful visit with your Angel Tammy and Aunt Patty. They sound like wonderful people. I know your mom & dad feel pretty lucky to have so many people that love their girls. I can't wait to see the video.

Tim and I are all moved into our new house and are hanging pictures this week. Tim hates this part - we always argue about where the pictures should go and whether they are straight! I hope you can come over soon and see my new place.

I went to the Dr. today and the baby is growing just fine. We will have a new little playmate for you in just about 10 weeks. We decided to decorate the nursery in jungle animals - so you are going to have to draw me a picture to put on the wall for the baby OK? Maybe you could draw a tiger or an elephant. What is your favorite jungle animal? I bet you can think of a bunch.

Tell mama hi for me & I hope she is feeling better. Hope to see you soon. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO Hugs & Kisses

Love, Pam

Great news on the strong counts, there little lady!!! You keep that up. That makes your mama & daddy real happy too!! I thought your riddle about Swiper was very very funny & tricky, I had a hard time figuring out who the riddle was about. ;-D You are so lucky to have your Chemo Angel coming to see you. She is truly an angel for caring so much. Do you like the snow? I DON'T!!! I'm ready for summer time to get here, in fact Shannon told me this morning that she was thinking about something warm...it was the beach in Florida! Now that's where my mind is too!! Your Aunt Missy & I sure had fun volunteering at the MO Winefest. The Leukemia Lymphoma Society made over $25,000 from the event. Love you!!

Hey there Miss Jackie!

How are you? How's everyone else doing? I am sitting here at work, next to my heater trying to keep warm. We got tons of snow yesterday...school was closed...and it is freezing!! Wish you were here to build a snowman with me or maybe a snow angel! Wouldn't that be fun? I hear mommy told you that I am gonna try to make arrangements to come visit you! I am working really hard at work, so they will let me go. How cool would that be? I am so excited. I will keep you posted on when. I hope all is going well and I will check back in later!

Lots of hugs and kisses!

Thank you for the kind words about Laura. We were so lucky to have had her in our lives even though the time was much too short. I know she will watch over Jackie as no one else can. Jackie, you are changing every day. You are a delight and looked so beautiful in your yellow sweater last week.

Dear Roth family,
I am so sory to hear of your family's loss. I didn't know Laura, but after reading Paul's entry I was still crushed with her departure to heaven. She will truly be the best guardian angel possible for Jackie. This entry captures me so because she was around my age (48) and my wife's name is Laura. She sounded so much like my wife and people like them are very thoughtful and caring individuals. Once again, I send my condolence. Jackie, you are very precious and share my name too. I hope things are going well with you and my family will be praying for you. Sending lots of love your way. (jack-colby's daddy forever and ever) P.S. My little tough guy probably didn't throw-up in front of me because he probably didn't want me to cry!!!

Jackie has changed so much just from Christmas!!! Her speech is great & she's getting to be such a big girl. She is just such a ray of sunshine when things look grey & I can totally relate to her little sense of humor!! Both of your girls are just precious!!!

Its hard for words to even describe how sad I am for the entire Roth family & extended family. The only possible postive spin to put on the event is that Jackie now has a wonderful Guardian Angel who has committed to the position! It is comforting to know that Laura is no longer in any pain & her spirit & determination IS with you & with her family & will help guide them through this, & guide them through life. I truly believe this. Dede, I know you & Paul will always be there for them too. Thank God for family. Is it not ironic that Jackie's counts are very good? This is not a coincidence. I'll see you all soon. KEEP HAVING FAITH.

Take Care!!

I have the pleasure of knowing Jackie, and her wonderful family.
If your heart is ever frosted, your outlook somewhat bleak, your mood in need of lifting... just look at that beautiful little girl, and I guarantee her smile will warm your heart and melt those mixed feelings away.
Jackie is such an inspiration! She's mature beyond her young years, and the innocence of her youth just magnifies her wonderful spirit.
I've also had the pleasure of meeting Jackie's family... and attest they lead by example. They are some of the most positive, motivational, and uplifting people I know! I consider myself blessed to share the pleasure of their company on occasion.
My prayer for Jackie and her family is that God's grace continues to fill their hearts. It's apparent He wraps them warmly in His Holy Spirit, and breathes strength into their daily actions.
God bless you all, and thanks for being such gifts to all those you meet!

I am so glad to see that your counts have come back up so quickly! Sounds like you had a good time horseback riding.

Dianne,

I am so glad Jackie's counts are back up. I have been checking the website everyday just waiting to hear the news of how her appointment went. I am so sorry to hear about the death in your family. We will be praying for your family. I know Jackie just probably loved riding the horse. That sounds like a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing you back at school next week. Tell Jackie that Zachariah says HI!

Hello Jackie...I have been a friend of your moms for a long time..she thinks you and Trisha are very special. I am Dr. Dinkins wife..he took care of you until he retired, and wanted me to send special greetings to you from him! We have a little white dog who hates this snow..her legs are so short that when she goes outside to potty, her belly gets wet! She tries to wait a long time before potty breaks!

Good Morning, Jackie- I am so sorry to hear you are fighting a bug. You are in my prayers and also prayers are being said by my women's church group for you and your family. We will be meeting again the first Monday of February and I will be reporting back to them on how you are doing. We will be meeting here at my house, so hopefully we can get online and send you an email from the whole group. But more importantly, I can show them your pictures and they can see your bright smile and those beautiful brown eyes you have.

I enjoy reading the notes from your Nana (by the way she is an awesome person, but guess you already know that) she is very wise and inspirational. Her message about life is so true and makes me think about the many blessings I have - like knowing you, and your Aunt Missy are just a few.

So, Jackie do you like snow? We have snow, but it is sooo cold! It would be fun to build a snowman, wanna' help? I know I will make snow angels for you and send you a picture of them.

Well, I guess I should say bye for now. Keep warm. Tell that bug to "bug off"! Take care and I will chat with you again soon.

Hugs- Pam

My Dear Jackie!

How are you Sweet Pea? That is pretty cool that you got to spend some time with Nana and Papa! I bet they love having you around! So whatcha been up to? Hope you got rid of that nasty virus! I haven't gotten it yet, so it must be taking its time getting here! Your Aunt Missy is so funny...you can really tell that you are a very special little girl to her. How cool is that? WOW, you sure have a lot of people caring about you and your family! How AWESOME, huh? I just wanted to let you know that I continue praying for you (of course) and I will be saying some extra prayers for Paul's family!! EVERYONE....PLEASE TAKE CARE!! :)

Lots of love,

Hi Jackie,
I hope you are feeling better! I know your Mommy from when she used to work at Jefferson School. I remember meeting you several times and what a sweet girl you are. I had Cancer also and I know how much it stinks and how scary those big words they use for all the medicine is. So instead of trying to say them just call them the "Make me all better medicine." I am glad to hear that you are so close to being done with your treatment. You are going to be soooooo happy! Just hang in there. My kids are getting ready to start the Math-a-thon for St.Judes like we did last year, so they will work hard for you and all the other kids! We just went to a Beauty Contest in New Hamburg, Missouri where some of my family lives. It was for the Lymphoma and Leukemia society. There were about 500 people who went to see the 22 beauties. One catch though--- the contestants were BOYS!! It was for Mr. Scott County. The girls were very hairy!! My 17 year old nephew was a contestant. He makes a much better looking boy than girl. It was fun. I have a video of the event if you want to borrow it sometime. They were silly. But they were all there for a good cause. Lots of people are helping end this disease so don't give up your hope ok sweetie? I know your Mom,Dad and big sister are ready to celebrate your last treatment. I am sure you are ready too! Each one is one day closer. Take care of yourself! You will always be in my prayers even on the good days you have because you are so sweet! Sorry to write so much! My first time writing to you and I had lots to say! I will check back with you ok?

Hi Jackie,

I'm praying that everything starts looking up for you! Your mom is such a sweet lady. I have a little boy about your age. His name is Zachariah and he is 3 1/2. Maybe this spring when the weather gets better you guys can get together and play. The only thing is you will probably become his next girlfriend. He can't resist pretty little girls! I hope you get to feeling better soon! You will be in my family's prayers.

Hi! I was just checking in to see how things are going. I hope your counts bounce back up. I am sure it is just virus that has knocked them down. There are a lot of bugs going around right now!

We just got back from Derek's clinic visit today, also. It was his long day with the spinal tap this time.

Have you had any snow to play in this winter yet? We finally got some up our way. Not much, but at least enough to play in.

Take care and we will be praying your counts come back up quickly. Ww will check back soon!

OK - I'm sitting here bawling like a baby after reading Trisha's entry. (Because I was touched - not because I'm all emotional & pregnant!) You are blessed with the two most amazing daughters in the world. That is such a wonderful message from a special young woman who understands how incredibly blessed she is with a mother like you. I only hope I will be such an inspiration to my children.

Thanks for living your resolution every day & being there for me ANYTIME I need it. With all you have on you every day you still find time to be a wonderful friend & confidant. If we don't see you before - tell Paul Happy Birthday from us. We'll figure out an evening soon. Miss you

That's the best Resolution I've ever heard of! I think that is one that we all need to think about making. Such simple things we can do and we never really know what an effect they will have on a person's life. So, consider this as my first time putting that resolution into practice! Good luck to you all in this war you are watching your precious child fight. It is never easy, but remember you are never alone - strangers just like me are thinking of you and all the other kids who have fought this same battle. Be strong, and all the best in 2003!

Good evening all;

Just read your sign in on Colby's CB site and by all means you can pass this site on to anyone who has an interest in Colby or JMML. This disease is very rare which in itself can make anyone having to deal with it scared and feeling very alone. When Colby was diagnosed with JMML, we knew absolutely nothing about it. Now, almost 1 year latter, through 1 transplant, a DLI procedure, hours of research, and communication with other parents with children dealing with JMML, we have gained alot of knowledge and developed some new friendships. As matter of fact, my wife Laura and Dana (Zachary's mom) have become very good friends and supporters of JMML families. Through their research, dedication, caring, and medical knowledge (both are nurses) they are two people that I am glad to have on Colby's side. The most important thing that I have learned so far through this ordeal is how important it is to have as much knowledge as you can because you must be your child's advocate in the whole treatment process. Having a wife and super friend (Dana) with some medical background sure helped, and I know either one would help out anyone in any way they could whether it be informational or just a shoulder to cry on. By the way, Zachary's site can be accessed on Colby's CB site. Well, good night to all and hoping things are going well with Jackie.

LOVE & PRAYERS,
Jack (Colby's dad forever and ever)

hi jackie

i always write in small case letters. i should be writing to you more but time just seems to run out or something.

i know you will have a rough week now. hang in there. you have only a few months to go although that seems like a life to you and everyone else. maybe we both will finish up at the same time but i have a feeling you will be first.

got to go rest now since i did some housework and such.

I stumbled across your website from Gooch's site. Your entry on January 01,2003 does qualify you to put those words down on paper and then some!!! It is so ironic for me to read this this evening when I just had this complete situation in conversation form this afternoon. My experience with my 4 year old son Colby who also has cancer qualifies me to relate to this on your level. It is very lonely and it just plain stinks!(cancer that is) Believe you me, that if it wasn't for our outside support from family, friends and strangers, I really don't know how I would have coped with this crisis so far. The calls, letters, prayers, visits, e-mail, and so on are so supportive that I couldn't even begin to put a value on them. However, those guestbook sign-ins are keepsakes that by far mean the most to me. I read my son's website on average 4 to 5 times per day. I love to feel that their are people on board with us all the way!!! Thanks for the privelege of sharing your thoughts and words with me and I will keep you and your family in my prayers always.
Love and prayers,

Happy New Year, Jackie!!! I just got home to find this email from your Aunt Missy. Your Aunt Missy and I were friends in high school and have started keeping in touch with each other since our class reunion in July. She has told me all about you. She told me what a brave little girl you are and how sweet and precious you are too!!! After seeing the picture of you, I can see just what your Aunt Missy was talking about. You have the brightest smile and the prettiest biggest brown eyes I have ever seen. I am sorry you have cancer. I will keep you in my prayers and ask my friends and family to pray for you and all your family also. I am so lucky your Anut Missy shared you and your story with me. You are a very special little girl and every time I remember you, I will remember your bright smile and I will smile right back. I wish I could give you a big hug, but since I can't I will send them via an angel. I hope this year brings you many joys and special moments. Take care and God bless.

I want to say that my mother is a very amazing person who says things that come from her heart, not to just say she said it. I can say with true honesty I have seen her at her best & worst moments & she is one strong person! She has been living her new years resolution all her life without realizing it! Although she gets on my nerves at times...she is my mother & i wouldn't trade that for anything in the world! I feel very fortunate to have such a close family and a sweet little sister who gets better & better each & every day & cuter too! I love you guys!

I hope you realize that you have been living up to your New Year's Resolution for your whole life, (or at least mine).
Always thinking of others & you always have. You are a very special person who has been dealt more in life than someone should have to deal with. Seeing your strength & courage througout the years has made me a better person. & to think that this whole 2 1/2 year thing will be over in 2003 is simply unbelievable. I pray for Jackie's continued strength & wellness everyday.

Miss Jackie,

Happy New Year Sweetie! I wanted to let you know that I will be thinking about you tomorrow while you are receiving your treatment. It's no fun, I know, but it will make you feel better in the long run. You only have a few more months until the end of your chemo protocol...and I promise to stick with you 'til the end (and even after that)! If there is ever anything that I can do for you or your family...please let me know. You'd be amazed what angels can do! You take care and I will check in later!

Love you to the moon and back!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!

What a perfect journal entry! WOW!! I will have to say that I can relate to what you are saying. As a cancer survivor, I made a very similar resolution. I really wanted to find a way to reach out to little ones that faced this horrible monster. That is why I chose to become a Chemo Angel and furthermore, that is how I was introduce to precious Jackie's website. Not a day goes by that I do ot think about this little girl and her family. Although I have never met any of them in person, I feel like I have known them forever. I hope that I have made an impact on their daughters life. Although I was fortunate that my cancer was treated with surgery and didn't have to face the nightmare of chemo or radiation, I still remember how scary it was. Please, take some time this year to reach out to someone who is having a rough time, who could use a hug or a shoulder to cry on. It's amazing how even the smallest things mean a great deal and will never be forgotten. Make a difference...you'll be happy you did!

Here's to a good year...for all of us!

Lots of love,

Hi Sweet Pea!! This is Chim Chim Bubblepants - otherwise known as Nana!!! Papa and I were so happy to see you yesterday when we got off the plane after visiting Uncle Jerry and Aunt Ceil in Sterling, VA. We thought about you a lot while we were gone (five days without seeing you is four days too many). We did have a wonderful Christmas, didn't we?? I loved your help in trimming our tree - and wow!! can you rip that wrapping paper getting at your gifts!!!!

Tomorrow we go to Cardinal Glennon once again for another yucky treatment and then we deal with your crankiness for the next week while you are on steroids. You know what (that is one of your favorite phrases) we will have a good time anyway. We will play and play and play!!!!! I know that Mommy would rather stay home with you - but I will sure be glad to have you back at my house starting on Monday when she goes back to work.

You are getting stronger every day. Papa and I pray every day that you continue to grow and kick this yucky bug from your body forever.

I love you and I will always be there for you.

I'll pray the week goes by really really fast. Love you sweet pea!

My Dearest Jackie!

So was Santa good to you this year? I bet he was, you wanna know why? Because you have been a very, very good girl! How could he resist not bringing you lots of toys? It sounds like you all had a wonderful Christmas. That is great to hear! It's always so nice to hear that you are feeling good and progressing so well. I am glad you got the flowers I sent. I was hoping you got them and that you liked them. I wanted to send something special for you and your family, to show you how special you all are to me. Are you getting excited for the new year? I sure am. I have a whole list of things I want to accomplish in 2003...maybe one of those would be meeting a special little girl that I hold dear to my heart. Any idea who that might be? YOU!! We'll have to see what happens and see how you are feeling. I don't want to wear you out...but we'll see what we can work out, okay? Well sweetie, it's almost time for me to go home for the weekend. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and have fun playing with all those new toys! I will be thinking about you! Take Care...lots of hugs and kisses!!!!

Love Ya!

Merry Christmas to Jackie & everyone in Cape Giradeau. Even though we can't be there, please don't forget that we are always thinking about you. It is such a comfort and joy to see Jackie's smiling face. It has become my habit to check her progress during my break time at the office. Many things go wrong and are not right at a bussiness world, but I keep remiding myself that our little angel is fighting much more tough fight and she is winning! She is always my stregth to go through anything happening to us. Wishing all of you a very, Merry, Merry Christmas!

I made a mistake in my previous remark. I said I have tried to keep in touch with Tricia, I meant Diane. Sorry. I was looking at the Christmas picture of them and was thinking of Tricia's name. By the way both girls are just beutiful.

Jackie is an amazing gift of God. She is an inspiration for all. My son Tyler was a "roomate" of Jackie's at St. John's for their first couple of months of life. I have tried to keep in touch with Tricia via letters/cards. I wish we lived closer so we could visit. I have really enjoyed reading about Jackies progress. She really has an amazing family. All children should be as fortunate to have a family so devoted to her 100% sucess! I know she will thrive in whatever she chooses to do.

Ho Ho Ho Miss Jackie...
Its Santa here... Merry Christmas you little cutie. I hear you have been a very good girl this year and you are very special, so I'll be sure to leave something extra special for you . I'll be at your house in the wee hours of Christmas morning...Don't know for sure what time I'll make it to your area, but I am sure you'll be fast asleep. I have alot of presents to unload in Minnesota for Angels Tammy & Sheryl because I heard they have been very good girls to. Well I have lots of toys to make yet, so I better get going. If you want to leave Santa a little snack, I really like popcorn & milk.
Love,
Santa
P. S. Rudolph sends his love too!

Miss Jackie, Paul, Dianne & Tricia:

I just wanted to stop bye and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I will be out until December 26th, so the festivities will be over and done with when I gain computer access again. I was planning on taking the kids and leaving for Nebraska tomorrow morning, but Holly woke up this morning with a double ear infection and strep throat. I guess my holiday plans will be changing! I wish you all health and happiness in the coming year. 2003 is going to be a good one...I can just feel it! Anyway, I will be thinking about your family during the holiday season.

Take Care!

Hello Sweetie!

How are you? I bet you are getting really excited for Christmas, huh? Matt is pretty excited, Holly is too young to understand what is going on yet. She is thrilled with all of the beautiful lights on the Christmas tree though and thinks it is pretty funny to pull the ornaments off of the tree. Do you ever remember doing that? I think we've all been there at one time or another. Did you get to see Santa yet? What did you ask for? You'll have to let me know what you get. I am so glad everything is going well for you. What a trooper! I am sending something special your way...so you'll have to keep your eyes open and watch for it, okay? I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and tell your mom to give you a giant hug & kiss from me. Someday, I am going to give you a hug in person! I continue to pray for you and the rest of your family. Take Care Sweetie!

Love ya lots!!

Hey Sweetie!

How's Miss Jackie doing? I feel terrible that I haven't signed your guestbook more often the past couple of weeks...bad Angel, huh? I have been super, duper busy! Sometimes I have to schedule time just to sit down. Pretty silly, huh? I do check your website everyday though and I continue praying for you and your family. I think about you lots! How is school going? Have you been doing anything special? Are you taking care of your mom, dad and big sis? Make sure you give them lots of hugs and kisses...and make sure they give you lots in return. I will try and write more later. I have to get Matt to the dentist, so I have to get going. You take care...I'm thinkin about you! (((((HUGS)))))

I hear the counts are great & Miss Jackie is getting stronger than ever. With all the bad things that are happening, this is truly a shining star!! She must have many guardians watching over her up in Heaven that are guiding her back to good health & strength. Please hold on to that thought when you are sad about those who are not with us on earth any longer. It gives me alot of comfort when I look at it that way! Take care Roth family!

You be good. Santa Claus is watching you. Have you seen the movie Santa Claus 2? Holly and I went the other night. It was so good. It was great seeing Santa Claus and all the Elves getting all the toys ready.

To my darling angel girl -

I wish you and all of our family and friends a Happy Thanksgiving!!!! We have much to be thankful for. You are getting stronger every day and chattering like a magpie. How I love that sweet voice calling "Nana, come on" whenever I am not in the room with you. I love to have you tell me about your day at preschool. Your friends at school love you so much that they fight about who is going to sit next to you. You are developing such a delightful sense of humor. You make me laugh all the time.

So tomorrow let's all count all of our blessings and pray that we will have the courage to change the things we can, the serenity to accept the things we cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference.

We are all praying for your Aunt Laura.

I love you and I will always be there for you.

Dearest Jackie,

You are so precious! Oh how you are growing up! It has been a few months now since I have been following you and signing your guestbook and it is simply amazing how much you have changed. That is wonderful that you are able to participate in your family prayer. I think that is absolutely wonderful! I'll have to admit, I had a tear running down my cheek! It sounbds like everything has been going well!! Hip hip horray! Glad you are feeling good and that you got to ride Windy!! Do you think if I ever come to see you, that I could ride Windy? I love horses! It's been a long time though...you'd probably have to show me what to do! You are an old pro, so I know you could teach me a thing or two! That was pretty cool of Aunt Missy to take you to McDonalds. You are a very, very lucky little girl! I took Matt to Harry Potter on Friday and then Saturday the three of us went Christmas shopping...Holy cow was that a chore! We spent most of the day at Toys R Us...arguing about which section we were going to. Holly wanted the baby section (you know, baby dolls) and Matt wanted the GI Joe, Army, Firetrucks, etc. section! UGH!! Do you guys have big plans for Thanksgiving? Well sweetie, I'm gonna get back to work. This is a very busy time of the year for me, so I apologize for not signing your guestbook more often. I have been thinking about you all! TAKE CARE!!!! GIANT HUGS FROM ME TO YOU!!!!

Love ya!!

I just looked at the JCPenney pictures. Your girls are just so beautiful. Tricia looks so mature and very pretty. Jackie is getting so big from the last time I saw her. We go back to see Dr. Gale on December 27th. I heard that he had heart surgery. So I don't know if we will see him or not. I hope we run into each other soon.

God Bless

PS I hope Jackie gets over that cold. Holly is fighting one too. This yucky weather change is so awful on those immune systems.

Hi Jackie! The teachers at The Center for Child Studies
were having lunch and I brought up your web page for all
to see. So, we all decided to send messages. Miss Debbie
said to tell you she likes your wheels! Miss Linda says
it's fine to take your time and be a little nosy. Miss
Kathy was excited for you to do the Hokey Pokey with her.
Miss Tammy says take your time, too. See you at school.

Hi there cutie!!

How's it going? Guess what?? I almost had a two hour layover in St. Louis this Friday evening, however, I got bumped to another flight and now I have a layover in Ohio instead. BUMMER!! Maybe we could have somehow connected. Wouldn't that have been cool? I am getting excited to go to Baltimore. It should be a fun time and it sounds like it is a little warmer there than it is here in Minnesota! Gotta love that! How is my little pumpkin doing? Speaking of pumpkin, did you get to carve a pumpkin for Halloween? That is so much fun! Well sweetie, I will check back in tomorrow, before I leave. Take Care & give everyone a hug for me, ok??

Hi Sweetie!

How are you and your family doing? I've been thinking about all of you! Hope all is going good. We got about 8 inches of snow Sunday night. UGH! I spent 1/2 hour shoveling snow and digging my car out, while Matt and Holly played in the snow. It was sticky snow, so it was perfect for building snowmen. Have you guys gotten any snow yet? Did you do anything special over the weekend? I spent the whole weekend packing and painting. Not my idea of fun! Well, I hope things are good for everyone! I will be talking to you later! Take Care!

Are you learning anything special? It snowed a little here yesterday, but it all melted right away. Has it snowed at your house yet? I have a busy weekend ahead of me. We sold our house, so I will be packing all weekend. Next weekend, I am going to Baltimore, Maryland for the weekend. I am going to visit a friend and we are going to do something special for my birthday! I will let you know all about it when I come back. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I was wondering if this is what the horse looks like that you get to ride? Probably not, but I thought he was kind of cute anyway and thought you would like it. How are you feeling? I'm sure hoping things are a okay! Everything is good on my end. Holly is over her ear infection and now we are just battling a runny nose. Matt has decided he wants to be a ninja for Halloween. I'll have to see what I can come up with. You know what? I have been so busy, I forgot all about getting my pictures developed from the Light the Night walk...shame on me! I better get to it, huh? Geesh! Good thing my head is attached, or I'd probably forget that too! Silly 'ol Angel! You take care sweetie and have a wonderful day!

((((HUGS & KISSES))))

Love ya! :o)

Hi Jackie Dear!

I am so sorry you had such a difficult time with your procedure last Thursday! I'm glad things turned out ok. You are such a strong little girl. Did you know that? YOU ARE!!!! Just think sweetie, you kave less than a year to go until your treatments are done...finished...throw 'em away...for good! How awesome will that be? That will be a day to celebrate, for sure! Anywho...you keep your head up high sweetie! If you need anything and I mean ANYTHING, you tell your mom to let me know and I will see what I can do. OK?? Think about what Angel Tammy can get you for Christmas, ok?

Guess what I did yesterday? I went to the Minnesota Vikings Football game!! It is the first game I've ever been to and we had wonderful seats! Guess what else? Afterwards I was able to get a whole bunch of autographs from the players and coach. It was so much fun!

I am sending lots of Angel hugs and prayers to you, Auntie Laura and everyone else!

Take Care!!

Hey, this is what I dont understand - I have seen 2 of you mention prolonging the end of treatment date... WHAT? Where we go I specifically asked the oncologist last year when ron was off chemo a full month if they tack that missed time on at the end and he said NO it is just skipped. Are you guys getting it tacked on???
I am really sorry to hear about the anesthesia problem, you must have been terrified!
Hope you guys have a great Halloween, we will be moving that day but in a hotel for a couple of days prior so I may not be able to get online for a few days (ACK!)

Hello Miss Jackie!

What a great day! It is very nice here in Minnesota. How about where you live? Is the sun out and shining bright? I suppose it will be one of the last nice days, before we get hit with a bunch of snow. Of course, with snow comes the chilly temperatures...BRRRRR!!! But then we can go sledding! I like to do that. Do you know what you are going to be for halloween? I'm still trying to decide what to dress Holly up as and Matt, well he changes his mind every day, so we'll see what he ends up being. I hope you are having a wonderful day! I'm sending lots of hugs and prayers from Minnesota for your whole family, k?

Hi Cutie!

How have you been? I have been thinking so much about you. I don't think I'll ever be able to take another vacation from work...there are piles and piles of paperwork on my desk and I just can't seem to find the bottom. But you know what? Some day I will come and meet you...then that paperwork will just have to wait! How has the horseback riding been going? You will have to tell the horse "Hi" for me. When I was younger, I had a really pretty horse named Jack, but I had to sell him when we moved. I hope everything is going well and that all those nasty germs that seem to be in Minnesota, don't find their way to your house! Take Care Sweetie and tell everyone I said HI!!! :o)

Love ya!

I guess I was all wrong. Your aunt got to carry your balloon. That is special for her for sure. I know it must
of been a wonderful sight. I want to so bad to take Holly.
I'll pray for next year.

It was so sad to hear the news about Scottie. I think that little guy touched everybody's life. He is so cute and everyone just loves him.

The Light the Night event in St. Louis-Forest Park was a beautiful event. Hopefully, some of the pix will be posted soon. We had a great banner that we carried for Team Jackie. The event has grown--last year 1700 people. This year over 3000. It was very emotional as well, knowing that so many people were there because this is the one way we CAN make a difference to those that we love who are battling this monster. We do LOVE you Jackie & look so forward to you being there next year proudly carrying your white balloon. One of the volunteers told us that with each year there are more & more white balloons (survivors/patients). Like I said, very emotional, but yet a celebration of life. The balloons were illuminated and as far as you could see up the road & back the other way. Just incredible & everyone was so friendly, like we all had some kind of a bond. We will continue with this event & others every year. Shannon was such a good girl, too. Its like she knew how important this thing was. Love,

I just wanted to check in before I leave work for the day. I will be gone for a few days, so I won't be able to sign your guestbook. A friend of mine is coming into town, so I'm going to be doing lots of fun stuff. I might even do a little Christmas shopping. You will have to let me know what you want for Christmas, ok?? I would love to send you something! I hope things are going well for you and that you are feeling good. I've been thinking about you. You have a wonderful weekend and be a good girl, ok? And REMEMBER, I will be thinking about you...and I'm sure Dora and boots will be as well.

Good morning cutie!

How are you? I see Angel Sheryl beat me signing your guestbook this morning. She has so much energy, I just can't keep up with her. I sent Aunt Missy the buttons I made of you for our walk. There are only two, so you'll have to decide who gets to wear them for your walk, ok??? Are you getting excited for your walk? I sure wish I was able to make it. Unfortunately, I had previous plans for that weekend. I will be thinking about you and TEAM JACKIE though! God Bless everyone that is going to join TEAM JACKIE in the walk...you guys are WONDERFUL!! I'm glad your Aunts were able to form a team for this event. You have SO many people that love you Miss Jackie...and one of those is ME!! You'll have to let me know how it goes, I am excited to see pictures. I am going to try and get mine developed this weekend. Well, sweetie...you have a fabulous day and I will check in tomorrow.

Be good and SMILE!!! :o)

I took a few pictures, but it got dark so fast, I wasn't able to take as many as I had hoped. Matt and I both wore your button and everyone commented on how adorable you were!! All in all, it turned out to be a very fun, but emotional night. I hope all is going well for you and that you all had a great weekend! Take care Sweetie!

To my darling angel girl -

Although I take care of you every week, I never get tired of seeing your beautiful face when you arrive each day. This week we had such fun on our trip to the apple orchard with your pre-school friends. You smiled all the while we were riding on the bumpy hay wagon. Such fun!! Yesterday, I took you to Barnes and Noble for the first time. What a hoot you were... You wanted every book you got your hands on. Finally, after about 30 minutes, I told you, you would have to decide on which book - and you did so very reluctantly. As we were leaving the children's section, you wailed plaintively "Good bye books"!!!! We also bought finger paint yesterday and played with it this morning. Those of you out there who have had the experience of watching a very prim and proper little girl - who doesn't like dirty hands - diving into the paint with both hands will get a kick out of that mental picture.

We have such fun together!!!!! And now that you are talking a blue streak, it is even more fun. I love you, sweet pe, and I will always be here for you. Nana

Jackie,

Wheeew! you must have gotten rid of that nasty bug you had, because I think that bug found its way to Minnesota. For some reason, that darn little bug decided to hang out with me. Didn't he know that I have BIG plans tonight? Geesh! Oh well, cold or no cold, nothing will stop me from walking tonight! Maybe the bug wanted to walk for you also and that's why he came to Minnesota. What do you think? Well sweetie, I have lots to do before Matt gets here and we leave for the walk, so I'm gonna get back to work. I just wanted to stop by and say HI! Have a fantastic weekend and I will let you know on Monday all about the walk. Take Care!

((((BIG ANGEL HUGS))))...do you think you could share some of your hugs with your family? I bet they would like that!

Jackie doll,

How was your day? Did you get rid of that nasty cold yet? I sure hope so. Your Mom said you were taking some medicine, so hopefully it chased that little bug away. Colds are always so miserable...they seem to really put a damper on your day, taking away from your play time and all. How's school? I am extremely excited for the walk tomorrow night...just wish you could be here with me! If you guys ever have a walk there, have your Mom let me know, ok??? Maybe I could come and walk with you! Wouldn't that be cool? I wouldn't even have to get a plane ticket, because we all know that Angels fly. I can fly, can't I? Silly Angel! Ok...so maybe I would have to get a plane ticket. But you know what, it would be worth it, just to meet you!! I really hope everything is going good and that your family is healthy. I think about you EVERYDAY, wondering what you are doing and how you are feeling. You really have made an impact on my life, just as I hope I have made one on yours. Take Care Sweetie...and keep smiling that beautiful smile!

Love ya lots!

Hello there-
My name is Alison Haddock (formerly Alison Downey) and I am from Cape Girardeau. I have lived in St. Louis for 15 years now but my mom and dad still live there. My husband also went to college there. My nine year old daughter, Alexandria, was diagnosed with high-risk ALL, subtype 11q23, November 2000. She has been receiving high-dose chemo ever since. She actually relapsed on July 11th, 2002 and we just now got her back into remission. She has been treated at Children's Hospital here in St. Louis. She will now have a Bone Marrow Transplant on October 1st with one of her brothers being the donor. Her 3 year old sister was a match too, but they wanted to use the oldest donor (age 7)to get the most stem cells possible. We just wanted to let you know that if you EVER need a place to stay or someone here in St. Louis you can always call us. Our number is listed in information and the phone book and we live in O'Fallon, MO. Please know that we will add Jackie to our prayer list and let us know if there is anything we can do for your family. We also know a family in Jackson whose daughter has ALL (Callie). You may know them too. Well, take care and God Bless.

Hi Sweetie!

How are you? I got a really nice e-mail from your Mommy this morning. It's always nice to hear how you are doing! Make sure you give her a BIG hug and tell her thanks! She also said she is going to send me a picture...how cool is that? You know I was thinking, since you are famous with a class in Austrailia...do you think if you ever go visit Austrailia, you'd take Angel Tammy with?? I've always wanted to go there and I'm sure I could fit in your suitcase. Just a thought. Only two days until the leukemia walk. I have my buttons made, my money is raised, I have film in my camera...all I need is to shine my walking shoes. I think I will be the sharpest looking angel there...what do you think? You have a fantastic day and I will check in tomorrow.

Take Care

Well Hello Miss Jackie!

How are you doing? Sorry, it's been a few days since I've signed your guestbook, but I didn't work on Monday and I've been busy with month end stuff at work. I know, I know...not nearly as important as checking in on you, but I think my boss would get mad at me if I didn't do it! I spent all last weekend moving. I think we are pretty much settled in...at least the kids and the toys are...that's all that REALLY matters, huh? How was your weekend? Did you do anything special? Did you make anymore snowcones? I saw a really neat toy that made cotton candy, how cool is that? I love cotton candy, how about you? Matt started school yesterday...he's a big 2nd grader! He was pretty excited. How's school going for you? Well, sweetie, I better get back to work. Have a wonderful evening and I will be back tomorrow! :o)

Hey, I was glad to read an update. I am glad that the new chemo mix is starting to make it better on Jackie. I know you are feeling better about it too.

The ballgame sounds like fun. That Jackie is such a hooot. The things they pick up and say.

School has started here for Holly too. She really wasn't looking forward to go. She has adjusted great though. Hopefully, Jackie will not have a lot of problems with colds and ears this winter. Holly was at school around the other children two days and had a bad cold. OH BOY!! I thought what is winter going to be like. Home School or what?

I think about you all, all the time. Praying too!! Enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

Hey Jackie-Lou! How are you doing today? Good I hope. I'm so glad you had so much fun at the Cardinal's game. I can't wait to hear about it. Maybe you and Nana can stop by and see me after school sometime? I'm in Scully in the IRTC Rm. 211A - hope to see you soon. Miss you sweet-pea. Love, Pammy-Pam

Hi Jackie...I am glad to hear you are doing well and doing so many fun things. You need to let me know when you are at the university for day care, because I work with the 3-5 year olds on friday from 7:30-12 and maybe I will see you there sometime. Keep doing so well and hopefully I will get a chance to come see you soon.

Good Morning Sunshine!

How's little Miss Jackie doing this morning? I got a good nights sleep last night, so hopefully I don't change the color of all your guestbook entries again!! I was happy to see an update and it seems as though life is treating you well! Happiness is always good counts...and that you have!! WHOOOOO HOOOOOO...three cheers for Jackie!!! It sounds like you all had a great time making snowcones. That sounds like a blast! Did you remember to make Angel Tammy a snowcone?? Oh ya, I suppose it would melt before I'd have a chance to eat it...silly Angel! Glad to hear you are having a good time with Nana & Papa! Preschool??? WOW!!! You are really getting old! Are there any cute boys at Preschool? You are super lucky to go see a baseball game! I haven't been to a baseball game in years...so I'm a little jealous! But that's alright...you deserve to go, because you are so special! I'm glad everything is going well...Life is good!! I think about you lots!!

Hi Sweetie!

How is precious Jackie doing this morning? Guess what? I received the Chemo Angel of the month award and this picture is the one they sent in my card. I am so excited, I had to share the wonderful news with you. Pretty cool, huh?? Also, I got an e-mail from your Mommy. She said I can wear a button of you in a couple of weeks when I participate in the Minnesota Light the Night walk. I will be raising money to help find a cure for Leukemia. How cool is that? I promise I will take lots of pictures and send some to you! Tomorrow I have my 10 year class reunion! YIKES!! I can't wait to see my old classmates. I hope you are feeling good and have a super, duper weekend!! I will check back in on Monday, ok?? Be good! Give Mommy & Daddy a big hug for me and here's one for you sweetie...(((((((((((((((((BIG HUG)))))))))))))))))

Next Monday we start our Fall routine. Papa and I are reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally looking forward to having you here every day. It looks like we will have our usual busy schedule of therapy and school. But we will always have time to play and watch videos and swing and sing songs and read books. And, of course, eat chicken nuggets which is your favorite lunch at Nana's house. I am so glad that you are a part of my life. My heart sings when you smile at me. I love you, sweet pea. Nana

How's little Miss Jackie doing today?

I'm busy working, as usual...but you know my day wouldn't be complete without checking in on you!! Boy, did we get a thunder storm last night! I love when it storms, but my son, Matt, gets really, really scared...so I need to comfort him and reassure him that things will be ok. I have been busy school clothes shopping for Matt and getting warmer clothes for Holly...just in case the snow decides to fly soon! It'll be so much fun to watch Holly & Matt play out in the snow this winter. Matt loves his little sister so much! How are you feeling? I hope things are going well with you...I think about you all the time!

Take Care Sweetie!!

Hello Miss Jackie!

Well, I had my Angel sleep over this weekend and this is one tired Angel!! I had really good time! We didn't get to go swimming or boating because it was so chilly, but we found other things to do. Friday night, we stayed up until 4:00 in the morning, chatting. Do you ever stay up that late? I don't...and I had to take several naps the rest of the weekend! It was nice to see an update! I'm glad to hear everything is going well. Your walking will come along...I just know it! You are a such a strong person! It'll all come together...just be patient and don't get frustrated!! I will be thinking about you, as usual and praying for you and your family. I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

I got the chills when I read that the optimists are donating to Cardinal Glennon. That's awesome. You know Grandpa Kogge is up in Heaven orchestrating that! I hope everything is settling down & Tricia is doing much better. Ryan, Kyle & Shannon sure enjoyed playing with Jackie. Strangely enough, Kyle is the one that talked about it the most. He loved how she would say their names & then big, big smiles!! That is exactly how he conveyed the information to me!! She must have really made an impression on him on this trip!!

Hey guys! I was wondering what was taking so long with the update, but I know you had a lot going on with the family.
I am glad to hear all is going well there with the girls. Ron starts kindergarten this year and we will likely be moving an hour + away by end of Sept anyway. I am a little apprehensive about new neighborhood, needing a new job, likely having to switch oncologists; but I'll deal with it.
Hope all is well on your end!

Hi,

I am glad to read everything that Jackie and family is doing. It sounds like Jackie is having some adjustment to the chemo mix. I guess that is good. It should be changing things for the attack.

Tricia woo, I know you must of been worried. I am so glad she is feeling better. I guess she is ready for school.

Keep us updated, I will check back later.

I hope Jackie gets to walking soon.

Hello there Miss Jackie~

How is precious Jackie doing today? This Angel has been extremely busy...all work stuff...and am ready for a break soon! I hope things are going well with you and your family. I was thinking about you and wanted to check in and see how you were. Do you have your own Chemo Angel?

Until then, I promise to do my best to watch over you...and even afterwards, I will continue to watch over you...if that's ok with you. I love being an angel and putting a smile on someones face!

So sorry to hear of the accident. That is just devastating. I'll be sure to keep Kevin & Teresa & their families in my thoughts & prayers.

I wish I could swoop up little Jackie & take her back to the beach. It had such a healing effect on her. She is so precious. I'm sure it is challenging for everyone there when she is steroid-al. You are all angels & I wish I could do more. So if you think a nice pig snort will do the trick...call me!!! The Chemo Angel Tammy is a very neat thing. Do you have any information about this? I'd like to see if there are any organizations like this in St. Louis.

Hi Jackie,
Happy Belated Birthday!!!! I am sooooo happy to hear you are celebrating not only the day you were born, but EVERYDAY....with vacations, and trips to the garden patch, and doing things with all those who love you. I think you are a pretty special little girl (getting bigger all the time!) and I look forward to meeting you one of these days. You don't know me, but I grew up in the same neighborhood as your mom. Your Aunt Missy and I graduated from high school together and your Nanna was my Girl Scout Leader! So you see, you're very important to me and I say prayers for you often, even though we've never met. Please say "hello" to your family, and have a really good "rest of the summer." Oh! And eat some ice cream most days...because even though your birthday is past, it's someone's birthday EVERYDAY!

This is Nana (aka Trish and Mom). Celebrating your birthday on Saturday was pure joy. You are such an incredible girl with an equally incredible family - I am happy to be a big part of your life. I loved watching you blow out your candles (three times!!!) and eat scrumptious chocolate cake made lovingly by your wonderful Mom. I loved watching you open your presents and wanting to play with each gift as it was opened.

Today I loved watching you pick tomatoes from your very own tomato plant that Papa and Aunt Missy helped you plant in our back yard.

Soon you will again come to our house every day while Mom goes to work. Papa and I will be happy to have you here every day. You are a complete joy to be with every day!!!!

I want to thank all of your friends who prayed for Papa and helped to make him well this past winter. I know that God is looking out for all of us. His cancer is gone and his back has healed after back surgery for a ruptured disk. It wasn't a fun winter for us in that respect - but seeing your happy face always made it better.

You are my special girl and I will always be there for you!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKIE!!! I remember well the day you were born. Minding my doctor's orders for complete bedrest while I was pregnant with Jack (your due date partner), I was lying on the couch when your Aunt Missy called with the news. It was a day I'll never forget. I was very worried for you and your mom and dad but also very thrilled to hear you were getting good care and that you were doing well. I just knew right then and there that this little girl is going to do things her own way and in her own style. That you are doing, my little friend. I'm so glad you are getting better and better each day. We pray for you every day. Jack is ready to play whenever you are. Bad news is this: the only thing Jack likes to do is dig, dig, dig in the dirt. Not much else. So bring your shovel and come play in our sand pile! I can't think of a better thing to do, can you? :)
Have a very Happy 4th Birthday and eat LOTS of CAKE!!!

We loved the writing on your trip to Destin. I have always heard it is like the Caribbean only closer to home! It sounds like Jackie is doing well -- we are so relieved and happy about that. Jack is still waiting for his girl. Those two have many more years to grow before they can start that romance stuff. Take care. We'll check back again soon.

Hey,

That update just wore me out. You all have been busy. That poor precious girl and her ears. I know about the ear problems. It sounds like Jackie maybe next with the tubes. We found out on Monday Holly has a tube that didn't take well. It looks like it is about to fall out. We are trying to keep the passages clear so no ear infections. The doctor stated if she starts getting more infections they will have to do that ear again. Remembering you all.

That spinal sounded bad. I remember Holly's first one. It was just about like that. Dr. Chu had all kinds of problems. I had to leave the room. My nerves were shot with the dx and then having so many problems. Dr. Wall had to finally come and get it. Holly had spinal headaches for 2 weeks. I hope Jackie is feeling alright. I am glad the spinal was clear. Praising God!!! I'll keep looking in on Jackies progress.

Hello all!!!
wait a minute, do you mean to tell me they out her under but you STAY there???? OH MY!!!!
The way they do it at our hosp. is while his port is assessed Dad dons the white garb, carries Ron into "the room"
they inject propofol into iv tubing, he falls asleep, Dad puts him down, and they make dad leave.
Between walking in & his falling asleep is minutes, however, although he did come out awake in the beginning
we are now lately waiting like 2 hours for him to wake up afterwards.
But we have NEVER seen them do one.
And I would NOT prefer to see that!
Just seeing the paraphernalia to DO IT freaked me out .. nevermind SEE it. Ugh.. I give you credit...
I've never even been in "the room" I finagled myself to coffee duty while Dad goes...

I hope she is feeling better. I hope to see you all soon. We go back to STL on June 12th. Maybe we can try to get together some night in Cape. I think alot of you guys. Do you ever hear of the children in Cape with cancer. There has been 4 children since Christmas dx with Cancer in Sikeston. Three of them are going to St. Judes.

We had the honor of being the first to sign on this amazing web site to honor Little Jackie. We have read every entry and viewed the terrific pictures. In between entries, we have had additional input from Jackie's Nana. (For those who don't know us, Uncle Jerry is Nana's brother). We know the problems of the up and down progress. Aunt Ceil spent 118 days in hospitals last year, had two heart attacks, has lost the use of her kidneys and has to wear braces on her ankles to walk. And, like Jackie, she is a trooper, bouncing back from the downs to rise to the ups, many of them highs. So hang in there. There is some one up there watching over all of you. He will prevail. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Love ya.

Hey Guys,

I came by to check on you guys this morning. I guess Jackie
had fun hunting Easter eggs. We had a wonderful weekend at my brothers. It rained and rained and rained and had more rain. It was good to get away for just a weekend. We go back to Cardinal Glennon in June. That sounds so far away. I know June will be here before I know it though. Holly celebrates being Cancer Free without treatment for one year next week. The excitement building up inside is so unexplainable only God know how I truely feel. Holly just seems so calm cool and collected. She wants to plan all these big parties.

I continue to remember Jackie in my prayers. I know you'll get to feel this excitement soon. Keep counting your blessings.

Hello. Well it sounds like things are really improving. There was never a doubt in my mind that the ol' codger would pull through this with flying colors, as there is no doubt in my mind that Miss Jackie will also recover with this all being a vague memory to her when she is an adult. But what will be a lasting memory will be that someone was ALWAYS there for her when things just didn't feel right. THANK GOD for you, all of you.

I would like to request an update on the photos (you can always leave the Kurt Warner one), but will you add in one of Tricia & Jackie. I'm sure everyone who visits the website would love to see that beautiful high jumping, hurdling 14 year old!!! (not to mention that you should show them both off a bit!!) Take care. Love you.

Hi to everyone from Jackie's Nana (aka Mom and Trish). Thanks to all who have had us in your thoughts and prayers during this most trying time. Papa (aka Dad and Rich) and I are smiling really big smiles these days. He still can't talk too well - but is feeling better each day as his energy and voice both return. All we need now is time....

The same goes for Jackie. Our sweet pea is getting better all the time and growing before our very eyes. Keep praying for her to be as fortunate as Papa and be completely done with her journey back to health in August 2003 as planned. In the meantime, she continues to bring such complete joy to the lives of all she contacts. She surely has a wonderful guardian angel on her shoulders..... We love you, angel girl.

Hi,

I am so glad that good news keeps coming around our houses. It is so good to hear about your dad. I know that was a big relief. Jackie growing that is so good to be on treatment and growing. She just never ceases to amaze us all. She is so strong and a fighter. Is she going to walk in the Relay for Life? When is Cape's Relay for Life? We are planning to go on vacation when Sikeston is having theirs. So I thought maybe Holly can make Cape. Take a walk on that Survivor lap.

Hi Jackie & fam...

And mom, I know... my sister in laws' mom has Alzheimer's, its awful.
I feel so bad for her.
It's such a shame to work hard your whole life, and cant even enjoy your memories in your so called golden years...
she doesnt even know who her daughter or sons are.... it's so hard on my sister in law.
She had tremendous guilt for putting her mom in home too.
None of us realize how good we have it WHILE we have it!

Hello again. I hope Miss Jackie is getting back to normal & she is feeling good by this weekend. If things work out the way I hope they do, Shannon & I will be making a visit to Cape Girardeau.

Hey we are glad to hear that things are going well for Jackie. Sounds like you are keeping busy as always. ;) Hope everything continues to go well. I know the vincristine is going to put a damper on Jackies progression, but we will pray for a speedy recovery from it and hope she doesn't catch the virus going around.

Hello Jackie & Fam...
Yes, your are right- we can never be too careful.
I am still hesitant for Ron to start kindergarten this year,
but his sisters could just as easily bring something home too...
Sorry to hear about your dad - wow you have a lot to handle right now..
try to adopt your mom's positive attitude.
We're all here for you and praying for you

Hello again.
I want to say thank you for letting me babysit for Jackie on Monday. She is an amazing little girl. I have never seen someone who likes to play with toys as much as her. Will you please give her a big hug & a kiss from her Aunt Pig-Nose!!! Hope everyone is coping ok with the yukky stuff that Dad is getting ready to go through. I'm pre-occupied with thoughts of everyone at home (in Cape) & wish I could be there for you.

Hello!
I hope this cold weather isn't slowing Jackie down any. Before long it will be Spring and everything will be in bloom and a year will have gone by since the beginning of this journey & how far she has come. I think of all of you each & everyday & pray that the reports continue to be good!! As you suggested I checked out Gooch's website. I've got him bookmarked too. I love the approach they have taken. Its inspiring isn't it, like having a huge extended family that knows exactly how you are feeling at any particular time. Its rather comforting to know that people across the nation are also praying for you! I'll talk to you soon. Hopefully see you soon.
Love,

We are looking so forward to seeing you this Saturday. Everyone is well, just some allergies. Shannon is already busy deciding which toys she will be bringing upstairs to share with Jackie! This has been quite a roller coaster year, hasn't it?

Hi It's been a while--too long since I wrote or call. But you have been in my thoughts and prayers--that will never change. I'm glad to hear such promising news about Jackie but I pretty well figured she'll do well even though she has given you scares. I read all the entries from others from across the states and the memories come back. The memories of how life changes and how precious it is. How much love and good there is in others. I thought about your family after the terrorist attacks and my heart ached for all those people but then I thought about your family and you all have been experiencing the fear of the unknown and how Jackie's condition has change your lives forever. One thing I've learned but occasionally need to remind myself is to never ask why. We'll never get an acceptable answer. I know Jackie will recover completely. That will happen not only because of Jackie's strong will power but because of the love and support you get from family and friends.
Again I'm sorry I haven't been in touch more. Our computer got struck by lightning so we only recently got back on-line in about two months.
Take care and love always

I know it must be hard to try to instill any discipline, so my advice....spoil that baby rotten!! She has been through so much in her days, that I know I would find it impossible to do anything but give her anything & everything that she wants!!! There are some members of our family that are living proof that even if you are spoiled rotten to the highest extent, there is still a good chance that you will turn out ok! I continue to pray everyday for Miss Jackie's complete & total recovery, so that she & the rest of the family can enjoy life worry-free.

Tricia - Jackie is lucky to have a big sister like you. I can see the love in your eyes when you are with her. It takes a special kind of patience to be a teen-ager AND deal with the problems of your little sister. Gold stars for you. Nana

I Can't wait to hear Miss Jackie talk!!!!! The boys, Shannon & I talk about her often & always say a little prayer. Hey, little prayers add up. Please keep updating the website. Although people may not always sign the guestbook, people are always reading & when they read they pray. Some just don't know what to say. But always know that she is in the thoughts and prayers of so many people even some who have never met her but have the caring and compassion to understand that all those thoughts and prayers help give her strength & give you strength to get through this. Jackie is stubborn, smart and has enough hutzpah... to get her through. I have faith.

Hey, I have been praying for that spunky precious child. I am so glad that things are going so great. I at times miss the nurses at the hospital. When you live in that hospital for 5 months out of 7 1/2 it feels like home and family. Holly tonight called it her second home. I told her not anymore!!! We are going to St. Louis this weekend. We are planning to visit the floor and do breakfast at the Ronald McDonald House on Sunday. I read that there is a new family in your guestbook. It just breaks my heart that these precious gifts from God has to go through this battle. Praying those Bad Guys stay gone forever and ever. Anita

Since Dede has been writing in the journal lately, I will take this opportunity to write this note to Jackie.
My darling girl - since you have come into our lives, you have created a new bright and shinging spot in all of our hearts. I know that God has put a smiling guardian angel in charge of looking out for you and all of us who love you. I think this poem was written just for you.

ANGEL IN MY POCKET

I AM A TINY ANGEL, I'M SMALLER THAN YOUR THUMB;
I LIVE IN PEOPLE'S POCKETS, THAT'S WHERE I HAVE MY FUN!

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU'VE SEEN ME, I'M TOO TINY TO DETECT;
THOUGH I'M WITH YOU ALL THE TIME, I DOUBT WE'VE EVER MET!

BEFORE I WAS AN ANGEL... I WAS A FAIRY IN A FLOWER;
GOD,HIMSELF, HAND-PICKED ME, AND GAVE ME ANGEL POWER.

NOW GOD HAS MANY ANGELS THAT HE TRAINS IN ANGEL POOLS;
WE BECOME HIS EYES, AND EARS, AND HANDS, WE BECOME HIS SPECIAL TOOLS.

AND BECAUSE GOD IS SO BUSY, WITH WAY TOO MUCH TO DO;
HE SAID THAT MY ASSIGNMENT IS TO KEEP CLOSE WATCH ON YOU.

May your guardian angel watch over you always.
I love you, Nana

Know that your family is in our thoughts & always in our prayers. We wish there was more we could do to help, but prayer is a powerful tool so we will continue to pray that Jackie has a full recovery & that God continues to supply the strenght & faith you need. We have faith that Jackie will overcome this, she will beat this, she is a strong little girl and we have no doubt that she will come through this with flying colors. Keep shining Jackie... for you are a very precious STAR.

Hi to all, God made these special children stronger than the rest. I have watched alot in the last 8 months and they are very strong. Jackie will just keep surprising you of the strength she has. If I can be of any help just let me know. You know where you can find me. I have joined a group on Yahoo "Parents of Children with Cancer". If you want to join I'll send you an invitation. You can only join by invite. It keeps others out. Keep up keeping up the Lord is going to work in your lives also.

Dede & Paul--thanks for providing the facts & what precious Jackie & your whole family goes through on a daily basis. I cannot even begin to know what your heart feels each & every time you pick her up & look at her & give her little cheeks kisses. I do know that I pray every single day that she continues to improve & improve & get well forever!! Please give those little cheeks a big kiss for me & tell her how much Aunt Bea loves her, even though I am not there to see her as often. Always know YOU are in my thoughts constantly.

Paul and family...and little Jackie. I spoke to your mother today Paul and she told me what was going on with that little angel of yours and you have all my prayers. I hope everything works out for everyone. I know sometimes it is hard having scares...well nightmares like this but I firmly believe that God truly does not give us more than he knows we can handle, and brings special people into our lifes when we need them. Hardships like this bring the family and your friends into your life and brings everyone together in prayer and God hears those prayers. He will watch over Jackie, and her loving parents. IF there is amything I can do to help you contact me Paul, if there is anyway I can, I will....Helen

My greatest compliments on this wonderful web page! What a fantastic idea. So many prayers and concern have gone out for our little miracle baby and all of the challenges that Paul, Diane and Trica have gone through. As hard as I'm sure it is at times, please remember that GOD IS GOOD and that he is GREATER THAN ANY PROBLEM WE HAVE. God bless you all in a very special way and may He strengthen all of you and continue to do so. Jackie and Trica are very special girls, and because Jackie has been so ill, I'm sure it has taken an unspoken toll on Trica. My prayers are with you all. Please continue to keep us posted.
