Sandi, I think of you and Kayleigh often. I'm sitting here crying as I think and wonder that I don't know how you make it through the holidays... the pictures, the memories... the "what if's" and " what could've beens". You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Happy holidays. With much love,

It never, ever fails. I started to go back over the past journals and of course, my heart breaks all over again, and it just brings me to endless tears. I read about Kayleigh and I fall in love with her over and over again, and it breaks my heart over and over. Sandi and John, you were so lucky to have this incredible creature in your lives and I thank God every day that I happened upon her site to meet her and make my life so much better through knowing her.

Hello,
My name is Kayleigh and i am 17 years old. I came across your website by looking for sites with my name in it and im really glad that i found this one. I am very sorry about your daughter. Bad things happen to good people. I wanted you to know that your story really touched me and that i believe your daughter would be proud of how you've become an angel to many. Your a miracle by being able to cope with the loss of your daughter as well as help individuals in the situation you once were in. Best of Luck with everthing!

Dear Sandi;
It's been too long that I have written. I've read all of your updates and it's really just not fair. NOT AT ALL!!! I don't blame you for being angry. You have more than a right to be.
We're still thinking of you all, and especially sweet angel Kayleigh.

Sandi,

Thank you so much for signing Connor's guestbook and for your words of support. Kayleigh is an Angel who lives on in the hearts of so many people. I can't undertand childhood cancer, I stopped trying to understand long ago. You are to be commended for all you are doing to help other families in this situation. May God bless you for your efforts. I have added Kayleigh to our ever-growing link list on Connor's page, I hope that is O.K. Take care, Sandi, my prayers are with you.

Oh Sandi, I know how you feel and there is nothing to be sorry about. As mmuch crime that goes on in the world our chilldren are the ones who pay the price. I too wish the rollercoaster ride would stop but it doesn't. How can we make it stop when we are wanting our children.

Know that I am thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers. Love, Rita

(((Sandi)))) I feel the exact things you do...I will never have the answer to why good people and children have to suffer and go through what they do. It burns me up and thanks for having the courage to say it. I wish you didn't have to go through this and as your friend I would take it all on me if I could, to at least take it away from Kayleigh. I know this isn't much of a consolation but wishfull thinking...and if one more person tells me stuff like this is in a bigger plan I will go mad. It isn't fair and it isn't right. I guess all I can say is that through the years I have known you and your family I have learned alot. Seeing the love and devotion you have for your kids is amazing to me. Also you have been a strength for me. I love you for it! Just know you have a life long friend here for you in NY ok?

I just read your latest journal entry and now I'm bawling, too. You have every right to be pissed. You did nothing to deserve this, don't ever think that. No one deserves to lose a child. It's not supposed to work that way. Not a day goes by that I don't feel like screaming over the fact that Kayleigh didn't win her battle. I can't understand how some say miracles cured someone, or prayers worked, yet why didn't it for her?? There are so many unanswered questions to this life we live. It just isn't fair! But don't feel you have to put on a happy face, etc. You are allowed to feel and think whatever you want to. This isn't something that a mother can just "get over and move on", like some may think. Just know, yeah you know but I'll say it again LOL, I'm always here for you, whether the rollercoaster ride is going up or down.
Love you,

Sandi - thank you so much for going over to Dianes site and signing her book. Time has a way of getting away from us. I still want to get in touch with you about helping at Duke but have been out of town on several trips since the Light the Night but have kept you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I don't know if the pain ever goes away but I just keep telling myself that our loved ones are free of pain and whole again and watching over us. It is the only way to get through some days.

Hi Sandi and John,

My name is Eva. I too, am a PROUD member of Werbe Racing. Lynne was telling me about meeting you last night in Raleigh for Light the Night! So I thought I'd stop in and say hello to you!
I am sorry to hear that you've lost Kayleigh, and Heaven has her now! I know that all of our angels look down on us and make sure that we are ok. I do not have a child that has gone through any of this, but sadly, I do have friends that are fighting day by day!
For all that you continue to do.........THANK YOU!
God Bless you.....

Love and (((((HUGS))))) and moving FORWARD with Sandi and John....

Sandi and John - It was such a pleasure to meet the both of you tonight at Raleigh's "Light the Night". It is a shame that we have to meet under such circumstances. How I pray for the day that ALL cancers will have cures and eventually eradicated - How wonderful that would be. As we talked about tonight - the CaringBridge community is a unique group of people that have come together under the worse of circumstances but go away so blessed to have met one another. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue to cope with the loss of your beautiful Kayleigh but MOVE FORWARD to new challenges and growing as a family.

Thinking about you all, and hoping to get to see you in a couple of weeks on the drive home (if my husband will get off my case about all the "stuff"). Reading about Taylor and how she reminds you of Kayleigh really makes me ache. Kayleigh is remembered by alot of people, including myself.

Touch Of An Angel



I felt an angel's touch today,
in the midst of my despair.
Twas sent by God, Himself, to say,
"be still and know I'm there."

To lead through days of darkness,
and light your way with love.
Be still and know, deep in your heart,
I'm reigning from above.

I'll lift you when you stumble,
I'm with you all the time.
I understand and share your pain;
remember child of mine,

The end is coming quickly;
the Lord shall soon appear.
To resurrect the righteous ones,
I love and hold so dear.

And bring them home, into a place,
where broken hearts are healed.
And promises I made to you,
will finally be fulfilled.

This life is but a spot in time,
a place for lessons learned.
Heaven holds the key to all,
your broken spirit yearns.

I sent an angel down today,
to show my words are true.
You're never far, beyond the arms,
of all God's love for you.

All material copyright @Judy Van Meter

You are in my heart and prayers. If you ever need someone to talk to or lean on, please email me. May God draw near and give you strength and hope and allow you to feel the touch of your angel.
Love and hugs
Judy

Theres just been so much bads news on Cb I had to take a breather, you know? It just seems never ending. I'm trying to figure out are more kids actually getting and succumbing to cancer than ever before, or am I just so much more aware of it now that I am in "the loop"? I guess its both....

I came here prior and read your letter about feeling left out of sorts and I honestly didn't have the words. My heart aches for you and your family and I do think of you daily. Sweet Kayleigh's pic is right here in eyes view on my computer desk. I had to move the photo because our kitty likes playing with her :) I hug my kids more now than ever before.... you have and will continue to touch so many lives. Thank you!

I just wanted to say hi again. I hope you know I am always thinking about you all, but don't always have access to a computer (probably a good thing since I'd be on it all the time if I did--my children would never eat, the laundry would never get done, etc.) But I've got it now and I just wanted you all to know that I hope that your friends and family that you are trying to get in touch with understand what you are trying to say. We are always saying we have to love and appreciate our children while we have them, and this is so very true, but what about our friends and loved ones? You never know what tomorrow brings to any of us. Please don't let a friend who is suffering suffer alone!!! If they reach out, reach back.
Please take care,

Sandi, I know exactly how you feel about family and friends not caling, emaioling or anything. I do talk on the phone though (it is also what I do at my job), but it is like I have to ocntact them if I want to see how they are doing. It is as if once you lose a child they are there and then once a bit of time has passed by, they are no longer there un;ess you contacct them yourself. I do occasionally here from dear sweet friends but not from many family members.

I will always be here for you Sandi and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Sned me your phone number and I will all ya sometime. Love ya always. Rita

Sandi, I am so sorry to hear you feel a bit like an outcast. I know I am guilty of it myself, I cant exactly pinpoint if its that I feel guilty for still having my child, or just dont know what to say to friends (whether from childhood or online friends) who have lost a child. I mean, what do you say to someone who is living every single parents' nightmare. Sometimes, for fear of sounding stupid, we say nothing. And then fear we came off seeming as heartless. Sometimes we say nothing because we dont want to remind you, to bring the wall down that you work so hard to keep up to hold you emotions in... I guess sometimes we just need to smile and listen more, huh? I hope the people surrounding you know you need their love and support and friendship more than ever.

Dear Sandi,
As I read through some of the old journal entries, I noticed how you often encourage moms and dads to hug their kids and tell them they are loved.

So, today, as I was choking down the big ole' lump in my throat that gathers everytime I see Kayleigh's picture, I went to each of my children, hugged them tight, and croaked out "I love you so much."

Thank you, Sandi, for continuing to write in this journal, teaching us about the depth of love in a mother's heart. You have given us a rich treasure in allowing us to have a part in Kayleigh's life, and in your grief.

Sandi and John,
I came across your site while looking at childhood cancer links. I think what you are doing with Kayleigh's Kause is wonderful. I will pray for you and your family as you continue to struggle with the grief and pain of the loss of your daughter. Please pray for my daughter, Katy (my only child), who was diagnosed with Aveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma on March 19th, 2003. If you would like to read about her you may visit her site. www.katyvolin.org

To Kayleigh's Family, I came across your website a few months ago. My best friend's son also has a site www.caringbridge.org/nj/zacharyd and I visit a lot of the sites often. I just wanted to tell you that your little girl has stolen my heart through her beautiful pictures. I am soooo sorry for your loss, no child or family should ever have to bear this much pain and sorrow. I think of you often, Lisa Dolan

I don't know what to say today - on such a difficult day. You continue to be blessed with such caring family and friends for whom Kaleigh, you and your family are constantly in their thoughts. The poem you selected and posted today was so touching. You continue to amaze me with your postings to this site.

Dear John & Sandi:

On this difficult day, I am at a loss for words. Therefore, I found a poem that a person wrote on the Internet and I took the liberty of adjusting it and changing the words. The first poem is somewhat of a personal poem for parents who lost their child. The second poem is in my own words. Sending prayers, hugs, kisses and lots of love to both of you as well as Josh and Taylor.

It's time they said
to let her go
This child of ours
they've come to know
They tried so hard
to make her well
But all the while
her stats just fell
She had more tubes
than ever before
Her serious condition
we could not ignore
We knew Kayleigh’s life
would soon be over
Our only request was
could we hold her
She laid in my arms
so peaceful and at rest
We know in our hearts
we did what was best
I look in her face
and no longer see pain
I knew from that look
that Jesus just came
With loved ones around us
She passed through the light
For three years
she made our lives bright
We'll see her again
in Heaven we know
But it's still very hard
letting her go
It isn't easy saying
good-bye
We all miss you so much
It's so hard
We Cry



We remember the day
You said, “Happy Easter”
Informing us of all of the things
You’ve received
You said, “I love you, Uncle Joe.”
And we truly believed
That you would be with us
Forever and ever

We remember the day
Krystal was there
At your bed side
You were waving hello
And we truly believed
That you would be with us
Forever and ever

We remember the day
Your mommy said that you
You wanted to go
To McDonald’s and Burger King
And to Disneyworld
And we truly believed
That you would be with us
Forever and ever

I remember the day
It was 4:45 p.m.
While I was at work
Uncle Joe called to say
You had lost your fight
And passed away

We remember the day
The whole family
Came together
For the first time

And we truly believe
That you will be with us
Forever and ever

I have no words to give you to take any of your pain away, I can not know how your hearts ache each day.
All I have to give are loving thoughts and prayers for peace, and Kayleigh's candle is lit here in the classroom today. This morning my first thoughts were of you and Kayliegh's sweet smile. I hugged and kissed Britton and Isabella an extra time this morning.

There is nothing I can say but I am sorry. I wish that this day does not have to be. Kayleigh is so beautiful and I got to meet her through your family in spirit. She is definitely in each of you, I felt it being on the outside.

We love you and want you to know we are here for you always.

Sweet, sweet angel girl. So many people miss you. Your beautifully angelic face is forever etched in my mind, and your beautiful spirit guides many of my moments. Every time I hold or hug one of my children I think of you, every time I kiss them, I think of you. HONESTLY!!! But not only that..... every time I talk to any member of my family or one of my friends I appreciate them so much more. You are my angel spirit and I'm so sorry I never got to know you... one of my greatest regrets in life.
Sandi, John, Josh and Taylor, I pray that your pain on this day be gentle. What else is there to say? I am so sorry that I don't have the magical words to make everything better. If I did I promise I would use them. Please take care on this day of all days.

Thinking of you on Kayleigh's Heaven Day. I know we laugh and joke around a lot...that's the way I think we handle a lot of things to keep from going insane, but know that my heart will forever ache for your loss. I really wish I could be there with you now.

It's been a year since you've been gone...
Oh, how we miss you, little precious one....

I won't ask how you're doing
Or say hang in there.
I won't say time heals all wounds
Or that I'll say a prayer.
I won't say that someday there will be sunshine
Through all the wind and rain
For I know that these words are meaningless
When your heart's in so much pain.

So all I can say is
You are a dear friend and I love you
And my heart is hurting too
For the loss of your sweet Kayleigh
That came a lifetime too soon.

You are in our thoughts and prayers as the first anniversry of Kayleigh's homegoing falls upon you. Anna will be gone six years this month. My pain has never waned and my life will never be the same. Nevertheless, I am grateful that the cries from our hurting souls are heard by a God that understands our hurt. I am grateful that when our whole world collapses, our Lord is faithful and keeps us going when NOTHING else can. I am grateful that although He doesn't necessarily explain our suffering and grief to our satisfaction, God shares our suffering through our Lord Jesus. May His comfort, peace and hope be with you.

I came here today and saw so many other Sept 2000 Mom's had already posted, we are all thinking of you. We miss you on the board Sandi, but we understand fully. I know for me it's hard to believe 1yr has passed already. I know each and everyday has crawled by ever so slowly for Sandi and her family and no day is any easier than the day prior or the day following. Here we are one yr. later and Kayleigh's candle sits right here by her photo I have on my desk like a megshift shrine. I look at her beautiful smile and that gleam in her eyes daily and I have not stopped asking God why? Why her? Why does He allow the loving, innocent suffer in such a terrible way? Why are those left behind having to suffer with the emptiness the way we do? Questions I will never understand and answers I will never have. Sandi, I cannot think of a day that has passed that you and your family are not in my thoughts. I am still hoping and praying for you and that the day will come that the pain isn't so new. I pray for brighter days to come your way. Know I am thinking of you everyday and I am here if you ever need anything. God bless you and your family.

Sandi, I kow how you feel. I have flet the same way, but you can't feel guilty over something that wasn't your fault. I did that for so long with Elizabeth. I would ask myself if I had done something different or something maybe should would still be there. There were times when I felt guilty over the least little thing, but I have come to realize that I wasn't to blame and it wasn't my fault. We all deal with the loss of a child in a different way but if we keep feeling guilty over something we had no control over it will consume us and that is not what our children would want.

I hope what I have written here doesn't offend you or anyone else. I know as Easter approaches how difficult it is. I am going through it also. I hope you are going to the Rainbow of Heroes Walk. If all goes well, I will be attending.

I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Rita www.caringbridge.org/wv/elizabethkeene

Hi Sandi and family,

I’ve read everything in Kayleigh’s site. I love your little angel I just wish I had met her in person. I also lost a child and I share your loss and your thoughts Even when you compare your 2 little girls and you talk about the mixed feelings you have because you see so much of Kayleigh in her little sister. I have the same feelings, as I have another son who reminds me so much of his departed brother. My son left to be with God 6 years ago and he is on my mind and heart every single minute of the day. The only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that they are in a better place, and that their lives had a purpose, which they accomplished with flying colors. They are with God and we will be with them again. I also got involved with fund raisings in my son’s memory, which I have done for the past 5 years. I often think of you and your family, and feel connected to you despite the fact that we don’t know each other. My love and prayers are with you and your family

Dear Sandi and family;
I just wanted to drop a note to say I'm still thinking of you all. I found myself talking about Kayleigh tonight to a woman I met at a restaurant. I told her that if you see this little angels big beautiful smile it will change your life forever. And that is just the way I feel. I wish that it could bring you consolation to know that. I don't know that much could console you right now, but just know I am still thinking of you.

I like your saying on your page about feeling sorry for those who never met Kayleigh. That is so true although I am sure it has been horrible for you. I have a daughter, 3 years old, Katia with AML M4. She was diagnosed April 2002, went into remission May 2002 and finished treatment September 2002. She is currently staying in remission. This disease is so SCARY because it can pop right back up and bust up our world again. I am so sorry for your loss! The pictures are beautiful:) Love, Tracy

I didn't get to meet Kayliegh face to face before she passed away. I know our hearts have met though and that's what matters. Sandi and her family have been so strong through all of this and I think they are so wonderful. I hope the day comes when your heart is at peace again. My thoughts are with you all.

Hello, My name is Natalie, you do not know me but I came across your website through another caringbride site. I cant imagine what all you are going through. I read Kayleigh's memorial she seemed like such a wonderful little girl, I wish I could have met her. I will pray for you and your family during these hard times.

I really don't know where to begin-I have so many wonderful memories of my Kayleigh-bug! I think one of my favorites though was about two or three weeks before she received her angel wings. It was 7:00 in the morning and she was in room 21 and she was making "play-doh cakes". She said "here Lady (Lainie, eat one". LAinie pretended to eat the play doh cake but Kayleigh knew she wasn't really eating it, so she told Lainie-"NO LADY-REALLY EAT IT". I would love to run by her room and her say "Boo HEdder" and the sound of her giggling.

I want to thank you for keeping this websit going, Sandy. I can never begin to imagine what it feels like to lose a child. But I do know how it feels to love and care for a child for months to have the Lord decide to take them home. In all honesty, I have had a hard time lately dealing with this part of my job as a nurse. I still struggle with why bad things happen to good people. However, I do know that all my patients that have left us to become God's angels are looking over us. I love you all!

I never knew Kayleigh. I heard about her from an online friend, Amanda. I cannot believe what she went through and what her parents went through. Having lost my mom in November 2002, I understand that God knows why He does what He does, even if we don't. He always seems to take the good ones with him! :) We have to remember that we were blessed by knowing them here on Earth.

I first met Kayleigh in person (had talked to her several times on the phone before they moved to NC), on Thanksgiving weekend of '01. Well let me back up. I just thought of a funny story of one time when we were on the phone and I asked Kayleigh if she wanted chocolate. Of course she did, but of course Sandi did not have chocolate in the house, (ok, i should have been slapped for asking her lol), so Kayleigh starts screaming, "Maaamaaaa i NEEEEEEEEED chocolate!!!!" She would not stop, so i told sandi to give her baking chocolate, and she did, and Kayleigh ate it! LOL So when we went to NC to visit, I brought Kayleigh a box of chocolates, which she shared with her dog. She was so cute and had such a funny little attitude! We were trying to make her laugh that night, so Sandi and I started tickling her til she cracked up. The next day, we went to see a Christmas lighting and Kayleigh was talking about seeing "Santa Closet". LOL Once we were there, of course, she wanted nothing to do with him!
Then a few days before Christmas, they came up here to visit. Kayleigh wasn't feeling well then, but we thought she just had a virus. I knew she was sick when she didn't want the santa candy I made for her. She took a nap on my couch, then later we went to a local nursery here that was decorated for Christmas. It had a little carnival there, and she and Presley rode the carousel together. Boy did she ever light up when she rode that thing! Sandi told her to call me, so every time she went around, she would scream "Deeebbbbbiieeeeeeee!!" LOL it was so funny! She didn't want to get off that horse for anything!
The next time I saw her was when she was in PICU in February. She was so sick, but I think she knew I was there. I asked if she wanted me to rub her leg and she nodded yes and when i stopped, she got mad, so i had to keep rubbing! Whenever we would talk on the phone in the hospital, she would want to talk to Presley. The last thing she said to me was, "Presley said hi!"
She was definately a special child. She certainly made an impression on me. She was so full of spirit, and I believe her spirit is and will always be here among her loved ones.......
I believe things happen for a reason, and Sandi, I truly believe you were meant to move to NC, and I am so glad you did, for I cannot imagine never having had the chance to know her.
Love you

I wish I too had a story to share... but unfortunately Kayleigh passed away just days before I was to meet her. I love hearing the stories from those who knew her. I can just picture her doing the things in the stories and I have to smile. She was such an amazing girl and it is wonderful to see her memory live on through so many. Hugs to you Sandi, John, Josh and Taylor. You are all still in my prayers.

Hi! I love the new pictures of Kayleigh... Her smile is forever in my mind! And when I think of her I can't help but smile. She made EVERYONE who EVER met her smile. She had that incredible gift. I have so many funny stories I remeber of my "playtime" with her... Getting her dressed up in a yellow gown from head to toe, covering the gown with Shamrocks for St. Patricks day and getting her on the bicycle with her big blue bear riding on the handle bars. We all laughed so hard as stickers got stuck everywhere, the gown got stuck in the wheels, but somehow she managed to get out of her room (and outside.. "hmm, Kayleigh has red cheeks..does she have a fever?" nope ,just a little sunburn!). Or the time she insisted I clean out her emesis basin, fill it with water so barbie had a swimming pool... But most of all I just remember her huge grin. And the smiles on eveyrones faces wherever she went! I am thinking of her and all of you. It was so good to see you the other day. How big Taylor and Josh are! You are never far from my thoughts or prayers, as I am one of the lucky ones who got to spend some time with sweet Kayleigh bear! Love,
Susan (aka Dr.Susan)

When I think of Kayleigh, I just smile. There are so many stories to tell....but I loved having a little extra time in my day to go play with Kayleigh. We would make Play dough cupcakes and we would play "Happy Birthday"....and she would laugh and laugh.....and she too sick to eat herself, but she loved to make pretend cupcakes for everyone else. This one day in particular I am thinking of.....she was not feeling well, and I had tried all day to get her to smile....her dad walked in and made a silly face and then, an immediate smile!! I feel so blessed to have taken care of Kayleigh and to have gotten to know her and her family...She was a bundle of sunshine and everyone she met couldn't help but love her......I cannot relate to the pain you feel but I do know that I lost my grandmother 4 years ago and I was as close to her as I am my own mother.....It is a kind of pain like no other...and I want you to know that I think my grandmom is taking care of Kayleigh and every other kid that has gone to heaven from 5100......and as I type this entry, tears fall down my face, but I am lucky to have known her......Love to all of you.

I wish I had a Kayleigh story like I've read here today, but I don't. :( I never met Kayleigh face to face and only heard her voice once on the phone, although I've known her mommy online since Jan 2000. That one time on the phone Kayleigh just said, "Hi Racel," but I can still hear her. :)

We had planned a trip to NC to visit Kayleigh in the hospital for Memorial Day last year but sadly, Kayleigh passed a few weeks before then and I was in her presence for the first time at her services. I am very sad that we never met before then.

Last fall we partcipated in the Light The Night Walk in Kayleigh's honor and we had a picture of Kayleigh on our banner. It was amazing, actually, to see the reaction of the other participants when they saw her beautiful little face on our banner. At first sadness would wash over their face, I'm sure because they were looking at such a young child lost to leukemia. But then Kayleigh's smile would take over and you'd see their faces light up and these complete strangers would be standing there staring at our banner, smiling. It was like Kayleigh was trying to tell us not to be sad.

I sit here and look at her little Easter picture from last year and she looks so onery in it. lol It is so easy to smile when you see her face. =)

I have a story about Kayleigh, but this one will bring tears to everyone's eyes who reads this. So, please have your tissues ready. Last year (2002), Easter Day, we had a gathering at the house in New York as we normally do, but that year was a little different because Kayleigh was able to go home for Easter. I was on the phone with my sister, Chris (Kayleigh's grandma), while she was visiting North Carolina and spending Easter with Kayleigh. We wished each other a Happy Easter (like we always do) and Chris was able to put Kayleigh on the phone. Kayleigh wished me a Happy Easter and then asked to talk to "Uncle Joe". Mind you, Kayleigh barely knew Uncle Joe but asked to speak to him anyway. So, I put Uncle Joe (my husband) on the phone. Joe said, "I love you too, Kayleigh. Happy Easter." Joe handed the phone back to me with tears in his eyes. Joe said, "Kayleigh just said, "I love you, Uncle Joe." We were speechless. Not knowing those were her last words to both of us. Yes, she has touched hearts all over the world and everyone who knew her. To this day, I relive that telephone conversation we had with Kayleigh. Another story that I have is when we were visiting Kayleigh in the hospital and my daughter, Krystal, saw her for the first time. With all of her strength that she had, she managed to pick her little arm up that was hooked up to all kinds of intervenus needles and wave hello to Krystal because she wasn't able to talk. Kayleigh loved everyone who she came in contact with and we loved and will continue to love her --- unconditionally.

Here is a story i have about Kayleigh
I can remember this like it was yesterday
i went to see kayleigh and Sandi over at our mother in laws house i never missed the chance to see her because you never new what you were going to see her or do with kayleigh she always had something funny to say or do
i remember Kayleigh wanted a sip up and she already had one that was full but she wanted a new one and what kayleigh wanted she always got it i remember asking her for a hug and kiss and she just wouldn't give me on i think it was my Mother in law who told kayleigh she hurt my feelings and you will never guess what she said!!!!!!!! SHE TOLD ME TO GO HOME I couldn't believe it we laughed and laughed and she finally gave me a kiss goodbye.I also remember when ever John and Sandi came over i would always play in the front yard with her(must of you might not know me but im a little kid with all of the kids when there around)so plaing with kayleigh was just so much fun we used to play ball and she would ALWAYS fall but she was tough and just got back up to do it again and when they were ready to leave kayleigh used to sit in her car seat and call my name sunny sunny and i would play peek a boo with her. I WILL NEVER FORGET THOSE MOMENTS I SHARED WITH KAYLEIGH!!!!!! I am so lucky to have had them.ohh heres another i remember just before they moved to Nc kayleigh came across the street to hang out with Uncle Timmy we had a patio set in our front yard she sat on the chair and put here feet up on the table and crossed her arms we told her it was time to go and she just sat there and she was not going to move finally Uncle Timmy was able to get her in the van!!!!!!!

Dear Sandi,
Your little girl touched my heart when I read her story. I am so sorry for the loss of her here on earth, but I pray you find comfort and peace knowing she is in the arms God. I can't even imagine how difficult the days must be for you. Please know that God is with you always even though at times you are so low you more than likely do not feel His presence. He loves you and your family so much, lean on Him and give Him all of your cares and He will comfort you.

I know how you feel, once in a while I will find a sheet with counts also and I just look and say where did it all go wrong. Some days are just so much harder than others. I just miss him so. We do go on though cause I have another son and he needs me. Dont really know what else to say, just that I saw your web site and am also suffering.

I was here and that Good Housekeeping article helps alot. Thank you Sandi and Rita for sharing. It is very hard to know what to say or do, and while I know these are not hard and fast rules for everyone, they are a good general place to start. Sandi, just to touch on a couple of points that the article mentions, I think everyone knows it's hard for you to return phone calls or keep in contact with everyone all the time, so you don't need to keep apologizing for it or feel at all bad about it. You have enough going on that hurts already; nobody wants you to add guilt to your life.
With love,

I loved the Good Housekeeping story. It hits home. Your daughter was beautiful and I will think of her in my thoughts and you in my prayers. You know she is with you and she will forever show you signs she is there. Don't ever forget that. I lost Sarah in July, 2002. She was 13, Sarah had Ewings Sarcoma. Sarah wrote a lot and I find little tidbits here and there. I can only handle one written entry a day because It's exhausting to read something she wrote, and literally feel her and hear her saying it when I read it. Then I cry and I can take no more for that day. Just remember, we are the lucky ones to have known our beautiful angels here on earth. They picked us as parents because they knew that they would be loved unconditionally throughout their short lives. And we have them to watch over us.

Just wanted to say hello. I read that article you posted from Good Housekeeping magazine. As you know, I work directly across the street from the Rockefeller Center's ice skating rink. Every lunch hour, I visit the rink and watch the people ice skate and every day, it is like someone is pushing me to go across the street to watch. All the while I stand there watching the people ice skate, I feel a presence. It is so strange. I feel like it's Kayleigh watching the people ice skate through my eyes. Please don't think that your aunt has lost her mind. I just wanted to share this story with you. Love to all!

I found your site through a site for Ashley Goud, a little girl in my son's Kindergarten class who went to live with Jesus Nov. 20, 2002. She had NB but in reading Kayleigh's "history", it reminds me very much of the fight Ashley fought as well. Sweet little angels. I check Ashley's sight at least twice a week, her mom, like you, updates quite often and mentioned chubbychica.com in one of her latest entries. Since then I've been visiting a lot of these sites, saying "hi".

So... just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know I'd been here. Keep the faith, He's the only one who'll get you through to the other side!

Dear Sandi,

Please forgive me. I have been following Kayleighs journey through your entries for such a long time now and I have never before had the courage to write. But your precious little girl has enriched my life so much and it is not fair of me not to let you know.

I don't know why I have been drawn back here month after month. Smiling Kayleigh is in my mind and my heart so often. I wish I could send you my love and comfort but all I can do is tell you that I see her face before me during my days and it inspires me to live in the best way I can. I know she did.

I know these words are inept and insufficient. I wish I had more. If preyers help, please know that you are in mine all the time. And somehow I just feel that Keyleigh is smiling on many many people and teaching them how to live and love.

I read this and thought of Kayleigh...


We can not judge a biography by it's length
We must judge it by the richness of its contents....

To Kayleigh's family,

Our family sends our thoughts and prayers to you today on your beautiful daughter's birthday. We have some of the same thoughts and feelings as you do as we will soon be observing our son's birthday for the first time without him. He also had AML and passed away at the end of last April. As we read your journal entry for today, we shed tears for you. It is just so difficult . . .

God Bless,

Sandi, I know not a single word written can ease the heart ache and pain that surrounds you. If you ever need to talk, I'm here. Either email me directly or send something to daybyday....

My heart is heavy with your grief, pain and sorrow. We know all too well how incredibly (almost impossibly) hard our beloved child's birthday is to bear without them. As I see the many websites lovingly made by parents with breaking hearts and endless tears, I am more and more grateful to our Saviour and thank our Lord for Heaven. We pray that His comfort, peace, assurance and hope be yours.

Your little Kayleigh was a beautiful, happy looking child. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know this weekend will be terribly hard on you, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I hope that you will somehow feel at peace, and know that your little Angel is still with you in spirit, and loves you so much. Still I know how hard these dates are, my little girl also died, she drown on 11-22-2001... It has been so very hard to go on, sharing her story helps though. May God wrap his loving arms around you, and help you through this hard day.

A few of us will be lighting a candle at 4pm for 4 hours (in honor of Kayleighs 4th b-day) if anyone would like to join us. I am also going to get 4 purple balloons and send them up to heaven.

I can't imagine how hard it is for you right now. With Kayleigh's birthday approaching I've tried to think of the right things to say to help comfort you, but I know there just isn't much that I can say I'm sure to make things better. Kayleigh was such an awesome little girl...I hardly knew her and she has changed my life. That is so much more that most of us ever accomplish in our lives. She was a blessing to so many. I pray that her birthday is a day of joyful rememberance and reminder of many wonderful, tender memories for you. I am praying for you and please know that sometimes I may say the wrong thing, but I do keep you all close in my heart. God bless...

He saved Kayleigh from her pain and suffering and she now runs through the golden gates of heaven playing with all her friends she made here on earth that have also suffered from dreaded illness'. May her Birthday be filled with loving, warm memories of your time spent with Kayleigh while she was here and celebrate knowing she is in good hands with God.

I can't even imagine how you are feeling. I have a little boy that has AMOL #5 he was diagnosed at age 4. He had a transplant in 1997. He has been doing good ever since. Aml is hard on the whole family. I still feel like a Vietnam vet back from war. Smells and sounds flash me back. As painful as it is to flash back..this reminds me of how far we've have come. I try to use this to help others going through this. I know years will not take this pain away. I pray, for you and your family, that it helps her memory stay strong in your heart. I want you to know people in Texas are thinking about you! Bless you all!

I just wanted to let you know that I think of you often and I check Kayliegh's site all the time.

HI Sandi and Family,

I came here today not only because I think of Kayliegh so often but I got a call this morning and it has me down. Col. Tatum another person I have followed with AML for sometime, passed away this past week and I just heard the news. I feel for his wife and children as they too are going through such a loss. My heart aches when I think of you and your family and all you have and will go through... and yet the same thing happens to yet another family. It breaks my heart. I am glad that Taylor and Josh had a good Cmas. I know it's hard to smile and enjoy yourself when your heart is breaking but cherish the days you have with Josh and Taylor as you cherish the days you had with Kayleigh. My thoughts are with you each and everyday.

Dear John and Sandi,
Thank you for all the beautiful pictures of Kayleigh on this page. I am continually touched by that radiant smile!

How I wish I could take away your pain, or in some small way make it more bearable for you. The scriptures tell us to "bear one another's burdens", but honestly I just don't know how to do that when the burden is the pain of losing your sweet child.

Just know that I continue to keep you in my prayers - "storming the gates of Heaven" on your behalf, especially through this first Christmas of your grief. :::tears:::

Dear Sandi,

I just wanted to let you know that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers throughout the holiday season, though I know it isn't easy. I agree that the anger and the pain are still there with you. I feel the same way since I lost Elizabeth and unless someone has gone through it, they have no idea what it feels like. Everyone thinks the grieving should be over, but it's not and if it were their child, they would feel the same way.

Tomorrow is Elizabeth's birthday and it has been so hard on me, but I think of her having such a wonderful birthday in heaven and I'm sure that Kayleigh is there helping her celebrate. Take care. Love, Rita

Forever Elizabeth's Mommy

Dear Sandi,

You don't know me and I think I found Kayleigh's Web site through Heavenly Lights. I was reading your journal entries and saw the one from September that expressed pain and anger -- rightfully so.

If it makes you feel any better, I am a born-again Christian and lost my 2 1/2 year-old Gabbie to neuroblastoma only 11 days after Kayleigh died. I love Jesus and while God is giving me strength I still have TONS OF PAIN and, yes, anger. (I'm mad at society's perception on how I should grieve.)

I think there is the belief that if you have faith, your child's loss is bearable. That is not true. For me, my faith helps me get through unbearable days...it doesn't make my days bearable. There is nothing bearable about a child's death.

But through all of this unbearable pain, I know God is there and I trust that the eternal glory we will see in Heaven will far outweigh our pain here. But that doesn't mean we won't suffer tremendously here.

I hope my thoughts have not offended you. Kayleigh is a beautiful child!

God bless you and your family,

Wow!!!!! I can't believe it has been 6 mths since our little angel girl went to be with Jesus. I just sit here tonight thinking about Kayleigh and the little time that Carson and I got to spend with her. Tears just continue to roll down my eyes but I know that God had a plan and he has a plan for all of us. We will always remember Kayleigh and how she touched our lives including Noah ( just the time or 2 he saw her, "she was his girlfriend" he would say.) We know that the holidays will be tough on you Sandi and John but please remember that we are here if you need us. We will all try to make it the best we can and know that Kayleigh will have the best Christmas ever now that she is in heaven. We love ya'll.

Hi there, I'm from day by day, I'M telling you all these kids that I keep finding that have been taken by cancer are all absolutely beatiful, what is that all about? What a sweetie your daughter __is______!!! Where did you get that poem . I sat here and just cryed and cryed. It really does say it all . Our only daughter (she has 3 older brothers) Ashley was diagnosed with a brain tumor Oct 18 1999 6 weeks after we moved to Arizona from canada, after everything medically and spritually (we went to lourdes france oct 2000 with her) she decided it was time. On march 17 2001 during yet another try at surgery our sweet angel spread her wings. I can't stop crying so I'll talk to you over at day by day, thank you for that poem , now when people ask me whats wrong I;m going to pull that out and read it to them, I'm sick of saying , oh nothing I'm just fine, Tracy Allen

Sandi,

Kayleigh is on my mind each and everyday as if she were my child. All day yesterday I thought of you and how you must be feeling. I just couldn't bring myself here. The 6 month mark is a hard one, the Holiday's are ruff, the 1 yr mark is awful too. Every day for the rest of your life has changed and although life goes on it doesn't get any easier, I wish it did. I wish I could take away your pain and suffering Sandi but all I can do is offer you support and let you know I am here for you anytime you need me. I wont have the right words because there aren't any. Nothing I or anyone can say is going to bring her back and that would be the only thing that would ease your pain. I am so sorry Sandi I honestly am. I wish I could do more. I loek at Kayleigh's smiling face everyday. I have her photo on my desk right here by my computer. She has such a pretty smile. Take care.

It was so beautiful and I just know in my heart that it floated right up to Kayleigh. Hugs and prayers for you all.

Hey Sandi,
Yes I have e-mail. Pretty neat huh! I had no idea how to set anything up on this computer and Susan Staba had to show me the ropes. I just wanted you to know that I was looking on this page and remembering how special your little woman was. My mom came up tonight to see me and Cameron because he got put in the PICU again. He is doing pretty good right know though. Enough about me though-I just want you to know how strong I think you are and how you and your family touch my heart each day. Cameron's girlfriend is know watching him from up above but I can still here her sweet little voice calling out to him from across the hospital hall. You continue to stay strong and call me when you come back this way.
With Love and Hugs,

I'm thinking of you today,
and really missing you.
Remembering your sweet face,
just as I often do.
I want for you to know,
I never will forget
The many gifts you gave me,
I am always in your debt.
Sometimes it hard to know,
exactly what to say
To try and help your mom
get through an awful day.
But since you gave me so much,
I wanna do the same for you.
I'll try to support your mommy,
with what she's going through.
If she needs to talk or vent,
or cry or laugh or share,
I hope that she does know,
that I am always there.

HUGS AND PRAYERS!! Still thinking of you all!

I can't wait to see you in New York. Thank you Kayleigh for coming into my life!!! You have given me and countless others a most precious gift. You have touched me more than you will ever know. Your mommy said you were a giving child and I know this is so very true. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

To Kayleigh's Family,

I saw Kayleigh's star on the Heavenly Lights Memorial and read about her battle with AML. We recently lost our son, Steve, at the age of 15 to AML-4, the same disease as Kayleigh had. We know the heartbreak of all the ups and downs. Many times, treatment was seeming to work for Steve only to have him relapse again. Our hearts go out to you as you grieve over the loss of such a precious little girl.

Sandi-Kayleigh is a beautiful little girl and a beautiful angel now. I'm sure her smile lit up any room. I'm sure many of our angels greeted her and play with her now. My angel Patrick was 3 1/2 when he lost his battle with severe radiation complications for a brain tumor. His web site is www.moms121angel.com

I stopped in here again tonight to look at that sweet angel's face. I hope that you are all doing all right, or at least the best that you can. I often find myself wondering about all of you and wondering how you are doing. I continue to think about all of you and pray for you all and especially about Kayleigh. For me she has done something extra special in my life, and that is to bring awareness and extra, extra love for all of my loved ones. I thank you all for that!! I hope to see you in New York in a couple of months. I'm really looking forward to it.

Sandi, My husband is interested in any information you can send regarding Kayleigh's Kause and Light the Night. He has been really touched by your family and wishes to do something in return. And to think he used to just laugh and roll his eyes about all my "online friends" now he is the one to ask.
We are still thinking and praying for you!

Just stopped in to say that your angel's smile sure did get my attenttion when I came upon her website just now! You must be so proud of her and her strength. Another little boy from Lowville, NY received his wings July 22. His name...Tyler John McGrath. He had battled Leukemia for a year and a half and fought one hell of a fight! These little ones sure do make you realize just how precious time is! Kayleigh sure looked like she filled up the room with her adoring smile and laughter! You sure have been truely blessed to have had her in your life! God bless Kayleigh's entire family!

I came back here tonight because I was thinking about Kayleigh all day today... I dont know why. Probably because she touched my life in such a short time. You are all on my mind alot and want you to know that you will never be forgotten. I'm glad you are continuing the "kause" and if there was a walk in Boston, I'd do it! So, instead I'll be honored to sponsor you Sandi and John. Its the least I can do. Hugs to all. xoxo

I'm signing in again because I just had to look at your sweet baby girls face again. My husband is currently in Durham on business and being the ignorant Canadian that I am I never knew that Duke was there but he mentioned that it was and I immediately thought of you and your family. I've been on Kayleigh's website numerous times now and only just today discovered the link at the bottom of the page with all the other pictures of Kayleigh and the rest of your family. They are really beautiful!!! You're right. You really can see the spirit in her. As always, my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and your family. I downloaded the pic of Kayleigh from your site, the one during the Holiday's before knowing of the AML. Kayleigh's photo is taped to my desk and I see her smile everyday while I am online. She is one precious child and will forever live in our hearts. I want to remember her lauging because I know that's what she's doing in heaven pain free. The days are long and the pain is endless but know you have so many friends and family if you ever need anything... I am here.

When you look down & see a whole bunch of lighted balloons on Oct 3rd, 2002, remember that all those pretty lights are for you! We love you sweetie. :)

**If anyone from North East Ohio reads this, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE email me and ask how you can join our Light The Night walk for The Leukemia Society. It is October 3, 2002 at Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio. Do it for Kayleigh! COME WALK WITH US!!**

"DEATH is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, with the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval some where very near, just around the corner. ALL IS WELL

I've never met you but I've come across Kayleigh's website through other caringbridge websites. Kayleigh was such a beautiful little girl and has touched me so very deeply that words cannot express. I am the mother of one little 2 year old girl with another on the way. I cannot imagine your pain but I can try. I will add your family to my prayers and I will hope for the best for all of you. I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and if there is anything I can do to aid Kayleigh's cause up here let me know.
Take care and God bless your whole family.

There is nothing I wouldn't give to go around the corner and hear her go-"Boo Hedder" followed by the sound of her laughter. John and Sandi, we all miss you guys too. I pray for you each day that somehow God gives you the strength to get through each day. Each of you are a part of me and I thank God you shared Kayleigh with us. We all love you at Duke!!

I wanted to stop out and thank you again for adding a star on Heavenly Lights Childrens Memorial in loving memory of Kayleigh. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish so much that I had some magical words to help ease your pain as I always do...but I dont. Nobody does...but please know that I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. I know that her life and story will touch the hearts of many others...as Kayleigh did mine.

As sorrow fills your heart,
my heart goes out to you,
And though my words cannot begin
to ease the loss you bear,
I only hope it helps somehow,
to know how much I care.

May your memories comfort you

Praying that God's love will be a source of comfort and strength to you - now and in the days ahead…
God bless

What a beautiful angel with such a wonderful smile. Wishing you strength and hope in this most difficult of times. We lost our baby, Nolan, after a 2 1/2 month fight with a brain tumor. He was just 6 months old when he became an angel. My only consolation is that his suffering, like Kayleigh's was short. I can only say that my heart aches for you. No one should have to lose a child...no child should have to suffer. Hugs to you and your family.

What a beautiful little girl! My deepest sympathies in the loss of your precious Kayleigh - I know you are still numb right now wishing you could turn back the clock. It is hard to accept the powerlessness in all of this. I am always finding quotes that mean something to me, this is the one that sticks with me this week and helps remind me that this life is not all that it seems and someday we'll have the answers & be together forever again with our most precious loved ones:
"We are not human beings on a spiritual journey.
We are spiritual beings on a human journey."

My heart and prayers go out to you. Our Anna went to be with the Lord in May of 1997 and, although I know she is in Heaven, my heart is certainly still just as torn. I am sure it will always be until we are together again. Praise the Lord that like Anna, Kayleigh is also now so much more than an angel! She is whole and she joyfully and expectantly awaits in the presence of our heavenly Father for that glorious morning when the dead in Christ shall rise; when we, who have also believed, are caught up with them to meet our Lord with whom we shall be forever where there is no death, sorrow, crying nor pain. What a glorious promise from God, Who cannot lie! I am so grateful to a Saviour that brings His comfort and His peace in even this, our most cutting and enduring pain. My life has forever changed. Not a thing nor person will ever, ever make it the same. I will grieve the rest of my life. I will grieve, however, in hope, precious hope, blessed hope, for I will hold my Anna again. I pray you will know the compassionate presence of our Lord at this time as He holds you close and that you might be blessed with His peace that passes all understanding.

Hi! I live in Coon Rapids, MN, and have been visiting the Heavenly Lights Memorial recently with interest in adding a star. We lost our 15 year old son, Steve, on April 27, 2002 to AML-M4. I saw your daughter's star and that she also had the same type as Steve. It is truly an awful disease. We send our sympathy to your family as we can understand how you are feeling.
God's Blessings to you.

I am so sorry for your lost of Kayleigh. I am sure she brought you joy & happiness. As a father of 3 girls, I can't imagine what you have gone through. I will pray for your family and for the time it will take to heal and mourn your lost. I am sure Kayleigh is proud to be your daughter and she will watch over your family.
Take Care,

Nobody can feel exactly the pain of lossing a child, unless you are the parents of that child. Only He can comfort you because only He can tell you that Kayleigh is now very happy in heaven. Tears are inevitable, but do not shed too much because Kayleigh is watching over you, and she does not want her parents cry too much. First 6-12 months without her around will be extremely difficult. However, time, lots of it, and faith, strong faith, will ease the pain.

Hi, Love your page, my Lil girl Briana also had AML M4 & M5 with abnormal chromosone 10 & 11. She was diagnosed April 7, 1997 and passed away Janu 1, 2002. I understand your pain and sorrow, from the beginning to the end. We were also with Bri when she passed, she passed at home surrounded by her friends and family in my arms. I ask myself daily WHY? but I know why, cause as blessed as this world was to have her Heaven is where she belongs, an Angel among the heavens, playing and being the 5 year old girl she could never be on earth.

God Bless

John, Sandi and family: Words can not express the sorrow I feel for you. My heart breaks as I sit here reading this website. You have a beautiful baby girl that I know has brought so much happiness to your lives. All the sunshine in the world can not take away the pain that you are going through but just know that your precious angel is no longer suffering from that terrible disease. You and your family will have a long journey ahead of you but you will make it with the Strong faith in GOD that you have and knowing that your beautiful angel is smiling down on you from above. My prayers and heart go out to you and your family.

Hi Sandi and John, my heart goes out to you. I've been reading your site and my heart gets heavier each line I red. It gives me comfort to read how spiritual you are, and truly this is the only things that helps us go through such tragedy. No parent should have to loose a child, it is impossible for someone to understand or take in. I know, because I also lost my first born, my beautiful son Luis, 5 years ago. Luis was born with a malformation of the heart, and we never knew. He was healthy all his life and after playing a game collapsed and the doctors were not able to revive him. He had just completed his 23rd birthday on Valentines day and passed away on March 12. I know that you are going to have many months/years ahead of you (all you lives I think) without understanding why. For sure God knows what he is doing and it really seems he only takes the best, at a very young age. God's garden must be beautiful with so many precious angels, and yours and mine are there to make it more beautiful. I'm sharing with you a poem that made me cry many tears, but helps in the end. Here it goes to you. If you ever feel like talking to someone who understands, please feel free to contact me. I promise you I'll listen and understand. God bless you both for your courage, and God give you strength to carry on. I'll be praying for you.


God's Message to Parents


I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine,
He said.
For you to love the while he lives,
and mourn for when he's dead.
Maybe for three or seven years,
or twenty two or three.

But will you, till I call him back,
take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you,
and should his stay be brief,
you'll have his lovely memories,
as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth returns.
But there are lessons taught down there,
I want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over,
in my search for teachers true,
from among the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I've selected you.
Now will you give him all your love?
Nor think the labour vain,
nor hate me when I come to call, to take him back again?

I fancied that I heard them say:
"Dear Lord Thy will be done".
For all the joy Thy child will bring,
the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
we'll love him while we may,
and for the happiness we have known,
forever grateful stay.

But shall the angels call him
much sooner than we've planned,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.





To Those I Love and Those Who Loved Me

Now that I am gone, release me let me go…
I have so many things to see and do,
You must not tie yourself to me with tears;
Be happy that we had 23 beautiful years.

I gave to you my love, you can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I travel on alone.

So grieve a while for me, for grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.

I won't be far away, for life goes on;
So if you need me, call and I will come,
Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear,
All my love around you, soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and say "Welcome Home".

this has gotton me threw some long days and nights after losing my husbnad i changed one line to fit a young child and wanted to share these comforting words with you all GOD BLESS
"God Only Takes The Best"

God saw you were getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you
And whispered,
"Come to me."

With tearful eyes we watched you
And saw you pass away.
Although we love you dearly
We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
playfull hands at rest,
God broke our hearts
To prove to us,
He only takes the best.

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. SOMETHING THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SPECIAL TO ME, THAT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

FOR THOSE I LOVE AND THOSE WHO LOVE ME

WHEN I AM GONE: RELEASE ME, LET ME GO-
I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO SEE AND OH.
YOU MUSTN'T TIE YOURSELF TO ME WITH TEARS,
BE THANKFUL FOR THE WONDERFUL YEARS.

I GAVE TO YOU MY LOVE. YOU CAN ONLY GUESS
HOW MUCH YOU GAVE TO ME IN HAPINESS.
I THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE YOU EACH HAVE SHOWN,
BIT NOW IT'S TIME I TRAVELED ON ALONE.

SO GRIEVE A WHILE FOR ME, IF GRIEVE YOU MUST,
THEN LET YOUR GRIEVE BE COMFORTED BY TRUST.
IT'S ONLY FOR A TIME THAT WE MUST BE APART,
SO BLESS THE MEMORIES WITHIN YOUR HEART.

I WON'T BE FAR AWAY, FOR LIFE GOES ON,
SO IF YOU NEED ME, CALL AND I WILL COME.
THOUGH YOU CAN'T SEE OR THOUCH ME, I WILL BE NEAR.
AND IF YOU LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART, YOU'LL HEAR
ALL MY LOVE AROUND YOU SOFT AND CLEAR.

AND THEN, WHEN YOU MUST COME THIS WAY ALONE,
I'LL GREET YOU WITH A SMILE AND SAY-
"WELCOME HOME"

Know that Kayleigh is watching over all of you. We nearly lost our daughter Kayla to meningitis and am too familiar with a long illness. My step-dad, several years later, also contracted meningitis after a 10 year battle with liver transplants; he too, is our special angel and I talk to him frequently. May you find peace in knowing that Kayleigh will always be there for you.

I'm sure that on those days that you think you can't handle the pain Kayleigh will give you the strength to get through the day. Please know you are in my thoughts.

Dear Sandi and family, please know you are still in my thoughts and prayers each day and night, more so during your difficult time right now. I am so very sorry that Kayleigh's journey ended the way it did too.....she certainly fought a good fight. She touched so many lives of those who never even met her. God sure picked a special angel in Kayleigh. Please know you and your family and Kayleigh will never, ever be forgotten. Kayleigh's spirit will always be with you as you try and heal from this and go on with your lives. My heart just breaks when I think of what you all are going thru. Although I dont have anything to do or say to ease your pain, I pray that you get thru this and heal the best that you all can. Thank you for sharing Kayleigh's journey with people....she was an amazing and beautiful darling little girl.

Though your precious little girl has gone to be with Jesus, she continues to touch so many lives. A friend of mine (Trish) emailed me and at the bottom signed "in memory of Kayleigh". I emailed her back asking who she was, and when she replied, she gave me your website. After reading about her passing, I had to go back and read everything. As I read your entries, tears ran down my face. My prayers are with you and your family. Also know that through your entries about Kayleigh, updates on her condition, and the strong faith you have in God that is so apparent in your journal, you have deeply touched so many lives, including mine. Thank You ......God be with you and your family always

I got this from Sammy's site and wanted to share it with you all.

HE ONLY TOOK MY HAND

Last night while I was trying to sleep,
My daughter's voice I did hear,
I opened my eyes and looked around
But she did not appear.

She said, "Mom, you've got to listen,
You've got to understand,
God didn't take me from you, mom,
He only took my hand.

When I called out in pain that day,
The moment that I died,
He reached down and took my hand,
And pulled me to His side.

He pulled me up and saved me
From the misery and the pain.
My body was hurt so badly,
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now,
I've found happiness within,
All the answers to my empty dreams
And all that might have been.

I love you all and miss you so,
And I'll always be nearby.
My body's gone forever,
But my spirit will never die.

And so, you must all go on now,
And live, and understand...
God did not take me from you,
He only took my hand."

Sandi--My heart felt prayers are with you and your family. This is the first time (thru Lyn) that I have seen your page. I am sorry for that--I wish I could have been following your journey. What a beautiful little girl. As you said.."God must have needed another Angel in Heaven." Please know I am here for you--and should you EVER just need someone to talk to..I am here..a keystoke away. I am so amazed you took the energy you did--and wrote a journel so everyone could know how she was doing everyday! What a wonderful gift to your child! You will be with her again..that is God's promise. Until then..while I can't imagine your pain..I will pray for your comfort. I will also like to learn more about what she had. I will be reading up--and would like to make a donation to your cause. I will be praying for your Ministry to help other famlies. May God Bless you. Much love..and God Bless, Tammy

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that we are often put into situations when we are not sure what to pray for...do you pray for God to relieve the suffering or do you pray for life...it is the hardest question to have to ask, and even scarier that no one can answer it. I cannot imagine the pain caused by the loss of a child, but I have learned that the most incredibly painful experience can bring a surviving family that much closer together. To carry on without a member of a family is tragic, but your efforts to continue as a family unit on will be in honor of her. And she will be truly proud to have been a member of your family. Again, I am sorry for your profound loss, but huddle close with one another and know that she is safe and feels your love.
Warmly,

We are not giving up this fight that we have fought since Jan. 2nd. It will continue. We know that Kayleigh is watching over us now and is having a great time on those Streets of Gold. She is having so much fun at Disney in heaven. Please know that we love you all and will always be here for you. Kayleigh, we will be with you soon!

Dear Sandi, John, Josh and Taylor, I am so heartbroken that you have a new angel in heaven. Your little girl was so special and I am so fortunate to have driven down to the Miami area in July to meet you. I know Josh and Taylor will miss their sister greatly, as will I. Kayleigh put up a great fight but I guess it was time for her to leave and thank goodness she did not suffer in her passing and you were with her. She is now playing and jumping around in heaven just like the little sweetie she was here for us. She will be greatly missed. With much love & sympathy, your friend, Becky

I can't imagine the pain you must be going through. The thought of what your family has gone through breaks my heart. Hopefully, Kayleigh will encourage everyone to donate as much as they can to prevent more suffering due to this terrible disease. Continue to be strong. Regards, Steve

Our heartfelt sympathies to your whole family. I never met Kayleigh, but I saw the smiles she smiled, heard the laughs she laughed, and felt the strength she had to fight. She was a special little girl in all our eyes and will never be forgotten. {{{HUGS}}}

Dear Sandi and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know your heart is broken and has an empty space that was reserved for Kayleigh. We lost our son, Sammy on 12/22/00 at the age of 16 from non-Hodgkins lymphoma. His website is http://www.samalimentato.homestead.com/greenribbon.html
Rest assured that your daughter is okay. Sam passed away at home at 3:50 a.m. About 10:00 a.m. we noticed hundreds of birds nosediving into our bushes in the front yard. It was covered with blackbirds and there was one bird in the tree. The stayed for a few minutes and then all flew away. I said, "that's Sam, he's free and he's with everyone." He let us know that he was okay and Kayleigh will send signs to you also to let you know she's okay.
God bless you and your family.

Dear Sandi & John,
It's not often that a 3 year old child can change thousands of lives all over the country, but your baby did. I've told friends, relatives and church family about Kayleigh and they were all praying for her and now for your family. Reading this guestbook shows that people all over this country and others were doing the same. Your precious angel Kayleigh has given literally thousands of people a renewed sense of gratitude for the blessings in their lives, a stronger sense of compassion for those suffering with disease, and a deepened love for others. What a huge gift from such a small child. You can know in your hearts without a shadow of a doubt that Kayleigh Banfalvy made this world a better place.

I have been keeping up with Kayleigh thru your updates and
guestbook. I am so sorry to learn of her passing. I wish
there was something I could do or say that could heal your
pain because I have had the experience of losing a daughter
but only God can do that. I know that Kayleigh joins all the other special angels in God's kingdom and just remember
as the song says Jesus has a rocking chair in heaven. I am
sure that one day God will let us understand why our special
children were taken to be angles. I know they look after us
each and every day.
Here is a poem that I read when I am having a bad day. I hope it will help you as it has me.
Don't think of her as gone away
her journey's just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.
Think how she must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much.
All My thoughts and prayers go to all of you. May God help
you thru this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids as always. We are crushed to hear of Kayleigh passing. Nothing can express the way that Kayleigh touched our lives and our hearts. She will always be part of Janie and my fondest memories. She brought joy, peace, and humor to all our lives. I'm sure nothing can ease your pain, but know that Kayleigh will live forever in our thoughts and in our hearts. With all our love.

I only learned of your precious daughter and her struggle last evening and to my dismay your loss this afternoon. Though there are no words to mend your hearts which are undoubtedly broken, I can see that Kayleigh has touched so many hearts. I know that she touched mine in just a single day. I hope that you can find strength and faith in this what seems to be an unending stream of friends and aquaitences that this has brought to you. As the old saying goes, "God works in mysterious ways". May he be with you all now as he has been through this long journey, and one day as the mystery unravels may you find one another again.

Dear John, Sandy and Family,
My heart is so sad for your family today. I don't know your family personally but over the months feel like I do. Laura Strain is my step-daughter and asked us to pray for Kayleigh from the day she entered the hospital.
I know that Kayleigh is sitting on Jesus' lap today and smiling up at him with that big beautiful smile of hers. He will hold her now until you are all together again someday.
God Bless your family.

There are no words to describe how heavy my heart is. It's so confusing that something so pure and so good was taken from you so soon. I once heard a Mother who lost a child say, "A candle that burns twice as bright burn half as long."

I just know that Kayleigh is at Disney World with God right now, wearing her little Minnie Mouse ears and getting her own special, private tour. I pray for strength for you to come through this extremely difficult time. Much Love to you all-

John & Sandi, I have followed Kayleigh's fight and my heart goes out to you. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family.
.
~~COME WITH ME~~
The Lord saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put his arms aroud you
And whispered, "Come with me."
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer
And saw you fade away,
Although we loved you dearly,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
A beautiful smile at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove
(He only takes the best.)
It's lonesome here without you
We miss you so each day,
Our lives aren't the same
Since you went away.
When days are sad and lonely,
And everything goes wrong,
We seem to hear you whisper,
"Cheer up and carry on."
Each time we see your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping,
We'll meet again someday."

For Such a Little While
God gave you your daughter
For such a little while;
He put a bit of heaven
In the sunshine of her smile.

He took dust from
The brightest twinkling stars
And made her sparkling eyes;
And now, she's gone back home to God,
To play up in the skies.

And though she left so quickly
That your hearts are grieved and sad,
We know she lives with God
And her small heart is glad.

And though your precious darling
Was just a rosebud small;
She'll bloom in all her beauty
On the other side of the wall.

"Little Angels"
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with, the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold.
So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, still somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye"
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind,
Must realize God loves children
"Angels are hard to find".

We love you guys, if you need ANYTHING please call collect.

GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN AND FOUND AN EMPTY SPACE.
HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON THIS EARTH AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIFTED YOU TO REST.
GOD'S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL, HE CHOOSES ONLY THE BEST. HE KNEW YOU WERE SUFFERING AND IN SO MUCH PAIN.
HE ALSO KNEW IN HEAVEN YOU WOULD NEVER HURT AGAIN.
HE KNEW YOUR ROAD WAS GETTING ROUGH,
AND THE HILLS SO HARD TO CLIMB.
SO HE CLOSED YOUR WEARY EYELIDS AND WHISPERED
"PEACE BE THINE".
IT BROKE OUR HEART TO LOOSE YOU, BUT YOU DID NOT GO ALONE. FOR A PART OF US WENT WITH YOU, THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME.

We love and miss you baby girl.
And Sandi, please call on me whenever you need to...

You have made such an impact on my life and taught me so much. It's because of you that I now have a relationship with God.

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update until Sandi or John have time to get to a computer. Kayleigh is being moved to PICU today problably around 3:00 p.m. She has fluid around her brain and is not really aware of what is going on. Kayleigh will probably be going in to surgery also this afternoon as soon as all her Drs. get together and work things out. Most important right now is to PRAY for Kayleigh, Sandi & John that things will work out.

My heart is breaking for your little girl. I have two granddaughters that are both 2 years old and I can only imagine how scared and worried you are. In 1991, our oldest son developed a rare blood disease, TTP. He was 19 years old and went through so many tests, surgeries, plasma phersis treatments over four months. Thank the good Lord, he survived and today is a healthy 30 year year old. Prayer is what got us through, and I will pray for your daughter and your family, too.

Dear Parents,
I have you and your family in my prayers daily!!! I have a son in the 3 year old class w/ one of your other children at A Childs Place in Smithfield. I had asked Ms. Sherri at the daycare to give me a copy of the flyer so that iI could bring it to work w/ me. I work at Cleveland Middle School and I know that the teachers and staff here would be really intrested in helping out by purchasing lunch on the 22nd. I hope that this will help you as well as if there is anything else that I could do ....Feel free to let me know...my home # is 934-8269 my cell # is 464-3882 and my work # is 553-7500. I can't imagine what you are going through as parents but know that God will take care of your little girl. Our Savoir works in very mysterious ways...But just have Faith and Trust in God, and everything will be fine.

WOW KAYLEIGH LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER PRAYING FOR YOU!!! That's because you are a very special girl. At only 3 years old, you are the strongest person I know. You're a fighter! You inspire me because at 22 years old I don't think I'd have the courage or strength to endure even half of what you've been through. I love you with all my heart. I hate that I have to be thousands of miles away, but I've asked God to send you an angel for me. Know that I'm constantly thinking of you and praying for you. I believe in miracles and the power of pray. KEEP UP THE FIGHT!! I love you, Josh, Taylor, Mommy, and Daddy with all my heart. I can't wait until you get better so K-PIB and I can come see you. Stay Strong Baby Girl.
love, Sissy, Mike, and K-PIB

When i was in training, the head of our department (PJ Collipp), once published an article on "the efficacy of prayer" (IT WORKED!!). Some people laughed at him, but honestly I believe that prayer, a positive attitude, and the luck or good fortune to be at the right place at the right time are crucial. You obviously have loads of people praying for you ( including me), your family has the "I have to do this attitude", and you're in one of the best centers in the world. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish I could do more. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Sandi and Kayleigh ~~~ I know the road will be a long one to a full recovery, but I know that it will happen with all the prayers, love and support that you have. You are both in my thoughts and prayers on a daily basis, wish I could do more, but with the distance between us that is impossible. Today is your 3rd birthday Kayleigh, and I know it won't be a good one for you, but when you recover I'm sure mom and dad are planning a great birthday/welcome home party that you will never forget. Sending you lots of hugs and love, Jackie Harper (moms garden of friendships group)

Dear Kayleigh,Sandi,John and family,
My heart goes out to all of you. I can't imagine what you are feeling but please know we are all praying for you everyday. Stay strong and pray. God will comfort you. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily.We just cannot believe what is happening.
John, Matt wanted me to tell you how sorry he was about Kayleigh and that he is praying for her too. He always thought the world of you,(he still uses the fishing rod holder you made for him). Thank you so much for the updates, it helps knowing how she is doing since we can't be there in person.
However, you are in our prayers and everyone I tell about Kayleigh, they are also praying for her recovery.May God Bless You and your family and give you the strength to get through this ordeal. We'll keep praying!
Love and Hugs, Jane,Matt and Scott

My deepest love and sympathy could not make you daughter well, But I do send them to you and a prayer at night that she will go on and have the life that all children deserve. I believe that are children are special presents from God for us to learn from. They teach us that our hearts can hold more love than we ever thought they could. To have an understanding that the world is new through their eyes and maybe the beauty and perfectness is much too overwhelming for their souls. I send this from South Carolina with hope that it might help you get throught the day.

Dear Kayleigh and Family,
You dont' know me I am a friend of a co-worker of John. I want you to know that you are in my prayers each and every day. I have a 3yr old and a 3mth old little boys. My 3mth old had been sick back in Novemeber and was going to have to have surgery to have a mucucole removed from under his tongue. We had a lady that prayed with us and after praying with my husband and myself she told me our baby was healed. The next day I opened his mouth to find the mucucole gone. The DR stated that it was a miracle. I am telling you this story to encourage you to make sure you continue praying everyday. The Lord hears your prayers and will answer them in His time. Don't ever give up. You are also on our prayer list at our church (Wooten's Chapel FWB, in Garner). If there is anything that the church or myself can do please email me back. If you would like for our pastor to go visit you please don't hestitate to get in touch with me. He will be moving to Greenville on Feb. 1st but will be glad to go to the hospital before then if you would like. Is there anything you need? Please let me know if so. Again I am praying for you. Stay strong and rely on the Lord. May God Bless you all.

Dear Kayleigh, I work with your father and have only seen you a couple of times. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family everyday and I have shed the tears of my heartfelt feelings for you. I have a 7 year old and a 7 month old (both girls) and I know where I'd be in this crisis. You are a fighter, but also weak I'm sure. Just do your best to hang in there. And always remember that you are in God's hands! Rather we are happy or sad; rather things are good or bad.....just turn everything over to God and he will handle it. You are his precious child and he will take care of you. John and Sandy and Kids: trust in the Lord above to carry you in his arms at this time and that he will do his part in everyway.
