Hi to your beautiful family,
Our son Josh (now 4 1/2) was diagnosed May last year with Stage IV NB and, like you, we have spent many many months in 3B at PMH. The similarities between our son's is amazing, right down to the rainbows! Whenever it all seemed impossible there was a bright rainbow just around the corner and when he was first diagnosed his friends got him beautiful rainbow making crystals for his room (room 7, lucky us).
Kurtis is a beautiful little man and I know he must have felt as blessed to have you as you do to have had him, however short the time.
I wish you all love and rainbows as we try to add our voices to the fight for a cure for NB,

In the early minutes of 22nd December 2006, I was rushed to theatre and delivered a baby boy, 27 weeks gestation, he is a fighter and is still in the Special Care Nursery at King Edward Memorial Hospital.

We named him Shane Andrew, He weighed 1245g, 39cm long, 27cm head circ.

Dear Kurtis's family
I found your site on another CB page
I came by to wish you a merry Christmas I hope the day is full of love and happy memories of your own Angel Kurtis
with Love Jacob's Mum

Christmas Without You

The lights are blinking merrily
The tinsel�s on the tree
It sits there in the window
For all the world to see.

The house is filled with holly
And pinecone scents the air
The Christmas cards keep coming
Each one is hung with care.

The gifts are tied with ribbons red
And topped with pretty bows
I�m done with all the details
As far as Christmas goes.

The fire is softly glowing
I think about your touch
But Christmas isn�t Christmas
I miss you oh, so much.

If I could have just anything
My Christmas wish would be
To wake up in the morning
And find you here with me.

Staring at your picture
I long to be set free
Tonight the tears are streaming
As I hold it next to me.

Flakes of snow swirl through the air
I�m braced for stormy weather
I wait for brighter days ahead
When we can be together.

So hold a place in heaven
Someday when life is through
I�ll be the Christmas angel
Who shares this day with you.

Hi! our 7yo son was diagnosed with Stage IV April 2005. After 10 rounds of chemo and miraculous surgery with 20 radiation hits and a stem cell transplant, he has been give the all clear. My motto through the whole ordeal was "the greatest thing is to BELIEVE!" Keep the faith. I am finding it hard to access info on long term survival and relapse statistics. Not that numbers mean anything to me. Does anyone know of any long term survivors, I would love to chat for motivational inspiration. Good news stories would be a grateful uplift. Thoughts and prayers are with all of those who have been and are going through this. We certainly have inspiration and corageous kids. has anyone given any serious thought to organising Neuroblastoma support group get together?

Hello my name is Rochelle Garcia and I know you don't know who I am but I'm doing a biology paper on Wilms' tumor and I ran across Kurtis's story. I have three kids myself, I thank the lord none of them has cancer but my heart and love goes out to you and your family Alana. I had my last son on Feb.2, 2001 which was close to the time kurtis passed. So I feel a connection? I'm terribly sorry for your loss, but I feel warm inside knowing he's one of the angels watching over us. Thank you and god bless.

I really appreciate the efforts that Kurtiss's parents have made in keeping this website up. My grandson has been diagnosed with Stage 2 intermediate risk neuroblastoma. He is about to start his chemo treatment. The surgery was a success and only a few spots of cancer remained in the abdomen. I can only say I am sorry for your loss and hope that God puts his healing hand on your shoulder for comfort. Kurtiss is looking down on you and gracing you with the help of angels.

To Kurtis's family: I saw your son's page while looking for the page of my friend who was killed in a car accident 15 years ago today. I am so sorry for the loss of your little boy. I am sure he was a loving a precious child. I have two children of my own, ages 10 and 2, and I can not imagine what pain you must continue to feel. I am a police officer and have seen the devastation of the death of a child too many times. I just wanted you to know that you and your family will be in my thoughts as I hug my children just a little bit tighter when I get home today.

Cave Spring, GA USA - Tuesday, January 24, 2006 10:49 AM CST

I have come across your website after following another aussie patient that is going through the same ordeal Kurtis once did. I read portions of the journal and was deligthed to read things about the far away place i once visited and may never see again. I stayed in WA over a three month period and had visited such places as Kings Park and Middleton beach in Albany. What a grand place to see and have experienced. I was touched reading the struggles your family faced and can only imagine what it was like. I too have lost someone to cancer...my Father and it was truly heart wrenching to watch a loved one slip away and there is nothing you can do about it. But have peace in knowing that your loved one has passed onto a far better place. Kurtis was one amazing kid and i am lucky to have gotten to know him a little through this journal......God Bless!

Your family will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. Although, I don't know you personally I will forever consider you family. My daughter was diagnosed with Stage IV NB in April of 2005. As I sit here and type with tears running down my face I can't even begin to tell your family how sorry I am about your beautiful son. If it's o.k. with your family I would like to picture your son as one of my daughter's much needed guardian angels. On her good days I will look up and thank Kurtis for guiding her through one more day. Thank you for sharing your story.

My great-nephew was diagnosed in 2002 with stage 4 NB. He went thru all the chemo, then surgery, then bone marrow transplant. He had been in remission for almost a full year. On Wednesday the 27th, our family was told that he is terminal, that there is nothing that can be done for him. It has devastated the whole family, because he is very precious to all that he meets.. I will miss him greatly when the time comes...............

Hi Guys
Thank you so much for the beautiful pics! It's hard to belive it's been 4 years since Kurtis left us. He was such an inspiration to us all during his short time. When ever I see a rainbow I automatically think of him - even when I see the reflections in sprinkers, or on the roads!!!! He is truly everywhere with us. Love to you all - big hugs and kisses to the kids. Take care. Love Andrea

Dear Alana & Andrew,

Thank you for letting me into your lives. I shed a tear at your entries written to Kurtis. I have tried in the past to find the website but could not.

I know that I get busy with my own life most of the time and forget that you guys are having difficult days. I knew that February was going to be tough but unfortunately I wasn't quite prepared for December. After reading your entries I realise that there will be many tough days for both of you throughout the year, I guess everyday. I didn't even think about it on Fathers Day like you said.

I am truly sorry if I have come across as uncaring and I am sorry if I have hurt your feelings. When I first met you I said, I will never be able to fully understand what it must be like and I hope I am lucky enough to never find out, but I am trying to be more aware.

I can honestly say that I do think of the boy I never met, Kurtis, everytime I see a rainbow and I have everytime from the first time you told me.

Today we saw the most amazing Rainbow.
I immediately thought of Kurtis.
It appeared whilst we were discussing the pros and cons of moving to the country and I mentioned should I ring the hospital to ask what would change if we did move.

Just wanted to let you know that Kurtis was on our minds whilst we witnessed the most perfect, unbroken, beautiful rainbow that seemed to sit just in front of us.

Alana,

I will never, ever forget Kurtis. Even though I joined the nb listserv just after he died, I feel his joyous soul through your wonderful descriptions of him. His picture with Tigger just makes me smile whenever I see it. I know your heart still breaks as does mine, but there is surely a bit of Kurtis in Hanna's lovely smile and Brandon will always be a caring big brother as Kurtis taught him well. May peace surround you over the coming holidays.

Alana and family,
My deepest sympathy for your loss of Kurtis, your love for your family is obvious.
Like Kurtis our little girl Kaitlyn is now battling this horrible disease, she will turn 4 in September and has gone through 3 rounds of chemo, we've had some good results but realise this is a long road with aggressive treatment.
PMH has become home, and unfortunately 3B is a busy little place.
Your family and Kurtis will be in our thoughts always.

Hello Alana and Family,I have just found your site and I am deeply saddened to hear your sons story,what a brave little battler.His photo album leaves bright memories with all that view.My daughter Jessica was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma on the 26th September 2002 at age 21 months.She was born on the 16th December 2000.We are in WA too,and have been in the care of Princess Margaret Hospital.We have not long come home from Ronald MacDonald House and are trying to get back on our feet.My fears are real and with me constantly,I still cry myself to sleep at night with this fear.I am so sorry for your loss.For me I can only pray for Jessica to beat this monster,and take each day at a time.Just before Jessica was diagnosed I found out I was pregnant so through all of her treatment I was pregnant, whilst she was recovering from her second stem cell transplant I gave birth to her beautiful baby brother Jayden, I tell you this literally made her feel better (if only for a short time) when she met him, for the first time in days her eyes lit up and she was so happy.Our eyes were full with tears of joy and were Jessie's.Currently Jessica is doing well and we are soon to remove her broviac, then we're taking her on a much deserved holiday.Thankyou for allowing us to share your experiences and memories.With Love Amy Welsh.

What a beautiful, loving family you all are.
May you find comfort in you precious memories.
Whenever I hear the song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" I will think of you and your loving family. Kurtis, you gave special meaning to that song......
Continue to enjoy each other as a family, as love conquers all.

Dearest Kurtis: I was just looking at your photo album, one would think that a grown man could control his tears, but you touched my heart so deeply. I can see that you are loved deeply, and also by me. I intend to supply your parents with a memorial tribute of you that I hope will give them some comfort. I can see that they won't need it as a reminder of you, but rather see it as a tribute to you. You touched my heart so, I just wanted you to know.

It does not seem 2 years that we seen your small little coffin and that we said our goodbyes. I remember this little boy and that use to watch my tyres as they turned when I left the drive to back out onto the road. You were such a dear little boy that was so full of life and was no bother to anyone. The night I looked after you while mum and dad went out was a pleasure you looked into my eyes and knew that I was someone who would make sure you were safe and you slept all night. I hated saying goodbye but I look for that rainbow and that star at night and know that you are now out of pain and in a life with happiness and free from pain. Love always our little darling Kurtis

Although you dont know me, I remember you very well. You were in hospital having treatment, when my "Angel" Sarah was there. I can see your cheeky smile, and remember your courage very clearly. I keep in touch with your Mum, and try sometimes to cheer her up when she is sad and missing you. You are now, and always will be, in all our thoughts especially on the 5th Feb.

I am so sorry to hear about Kurtis. I know he is a very special angel keeping watch over all of his precious family and friends. I just recently lost my "bestest buddy", John Russell (he was 3 1/2 yrs old) to stage IV Neuroblastoma. They sure taught us so much in their short time here. God bless you all. Also, congratulations on your new baby girl. I am sure Kurtis had a little chat with her before she was sent from heaven.

God bless you all.

Dear Seaman Family,
As I looked at the pictures of Kurtis I had so many tears in my eyes. These neuroblastoma children are so brave and they endure so much. The one of Kurtis, who looks so tired, two days before he passed, is the one that really got to me. There is nothing at all good in this life about the death of a child. However, at least we have the eternal hope of going to meet them someday. We lost our daughter Gabbie, age 2 and 1/2 years, to Stage IV neuroblastoma this past May. (http://www.caringbridge.com/mn/gabrielles.prayers)
Congratulations on the soon expected baby!

I came across your site since I'm looking for other parents to children that have or have had neuroblastom. I felt so sorry for you and your lost.
My son was born 16 months ago and got neuroblastom the same day he was born, the tumor was so big it casuse big damage on his lever and brain beacuse his body couldn't provide his organ with oxygen. After treatment and surgery he is now like an ormal little boy and his mother are now trying to understand what happen to us. Here in Sweden only 10-15 children gets neuroblastom every year so its hard to find anyone how knows what Im taling about. Well take care

My 3rd grade teacher died on Thursday so I am sure he is going to school and someday you will join him again and live with him always like nothing ever happened. I do not know you but people like you can touch my life. All of my prayers and thoughts are with your family as you go through this difficult time.

Dear Alana, Andrew and Brandon
It's been a while since I visited your guestbook and read the lovely tributes to your beautiful Kurtis. I am glad I spoke to you both on the 5/2/02 - my thoughts were with you all day and I had flash backs to when me met in Subiaco to have the photo take of Kurtis at Woolies. I remember, when we sat having lunch that Kurtis wanted to hold MY HAND and to sit on MY KNEE - I felt so privledged and touched that Kurtis did that. I know MJ was very jealous!! He was truly an inspiration little boy - he seemed to mature so fast because of his illness and in the end seemed more wise than any of us could ever be. I have photos on my wall (my favourite the one with Andrew, Kurtis and myself in the lab) and not a day goes by that I don't look at them and feel my chest hurt and my eyes sting. Thank you for allowing me to know your son - I will never forget him. Much love and big hugs to you all.

Please God, make them remember that
Today is a special birthday.
Make them understand that
The memories don�t go away.

Bless them with ears to hear
And hearts that care.
Enable them to listen while I share.
Shelter them that they may
never know my pain.

Help them to help me know
That my child�s life was not in vain.
Help them to remember Lord,
That I wish that my child was here,
So we could celebrate.

Help them to understand that I still feel
The nearness of my child
Help them to see beyond my smile and the words, �I�m okay.�

Please God, just let one remember today
Is a special Birthday

Dear Alana & Family

I came across your web site for the first time yesterday. It is with love that I write and reach out to you all. Words though cannot convey the sadness I feel for you all as a family.

My daughter had stage IV neuroblastoma. She was diagnosed in Dec 1988 (aged 10 months) and treated in the UK. We have been living in Western Australia since May 1997. As a family, we are sincerely grateful that she is now well and a bright healthy fourteen year old. However, I continually feel for the children and families who are confronted with this disease; not a day passes without these feelings.

From the onset, I made a vow to resolve the problem of neuroblastoma. Having retrained in the sciences, I spend my day striving in this quest. Working voluntary and independently, I have recently had a scientific paper accepted for publication. I am trying to exploit the spontaneous regression phenomenon associated with this disease. I work independent because my enthusiasm to research neuroblastoma (namely for a cure) is not shared, nor embraced, nor accommodated by those in a position to help. Establishment doors are open if I choose not to pursue neuroblastoma research, however they close when the word neuroblastoma is mentioned. Undeterred, I exercise my free right to pursue this quest; even if I have to continue my struggle alone. Setting up a lab independently is one option, though not an ideal one because of the enormity of the task. However, if all other options are thwart, I will try if it's the only way I can continue.

It frustrates me and grieves me when children like Kurtis slip from the grip of those that love them so dearly. As you well know, the essence of love, your love, will always have an everlasting grip on Kurtis.

On that note; it is with love,,,,, that your family,, will always be in my thoughts.

"SOME PEOPLE"
Some people come into our lives and quickly go,
Some people move our souls to dance. they awaken us to
new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon,
They stay in our lives for awhile,leave footprints on our hearts,and we are NEVER, ever the same.....

Kurits you did that to us..

I will never forget that day in August,coming back onto 3B after Abby's surgery. There u were,and from that moment on you touched our lives.
There is nothing so deafening as the silence of children suffering with cancer,the grief of our children reaches into our very souls begging the un-answered question of WHY??

But there is something greater,its the strength & determination of our special children to fight this,with every fibre of their being they set about this task without ever faltering & its from this I can say I have had the priveldge of witnessing Kurtis do this,he let us into his life ...Thank You

We saw good & bad ..I remember you telling us to get lost when u had,had enough (I loved that strength).
I remember u staying with us and wanting nothing more than
a packed lunch to go in your backpack just like James,Matt & Abby had & to go over to school to pick Abby up & meet her teacher.Which u did...And happy times spent with James & Matt playing on the sony(you winning most of the time),sharing your love of the rugrats with Abby and the dancing baby...
Kurtis the Kids often let ballons go up into the air in the hope u might get it..

We havn't forgotten you,We never will.
To your Mum,Dad & Brandon all our love
I wished we cud build a stairway to heaven & bring him home to you.

love from

Dear God: I do not understand why these beautiful little children have to go through this much pain and suffering. My grandson was diagnosed on March 1 of 2001. We are very fortunate that he has responded to his treatments. I pray for all the families of children with cancer.

I cannot even begin to feel your pain at such a loss. All I can do is pray, think about you, and let you know that your family and all the children are never far from my mind.

What a beautiful little boy!

Alana, Andrew and Brandon,I will be thinking of you all tomorrow,and praying as many others are. I have never forgotten Last February the 5th, as I sat with you, With Kurtis no longer with you, he had already gone to be with Jesus no more suffering no more pain.He was a brave little boy and went through pain many never have to suffer,and many could learn from him how brave he was. For me it was a privilege to come into your home and see the love and care you had for your son, there are many children who don't know the love that Kurtis knew in his short life.Alana and Andrew we cannot really know your pain, but any of us that are parents can imagine how hard it is and all I know to say to you is that time does not really heal, it helps you to learn to live through it but it is only God who can heal and He DOES know too what it is like to see His Son die.God loves you more than anyone else can. You have many people who have shared with you the same pain worldwide, hold on to their support and be there for them and give them love and suppport too, this also gives you strength when you think you can't cope anymore.All my love Maureen and Ken

Thank you for all the lovely entries of Kurtis' life. In so many ways they mirror Tyson's. I just know they have found each other and are busy comparing notes. The 5th will be very hard for you and they don't get any easier, but remember there are many of us who genuinely care.

I don't think I'll ever forget the sweet look on is face despite the obvious suffering he's been through. May God sustain you in your sorrow, missing this little angel.

PS my only brother died at the age of 9 from a brain tumor..and guess what???? I was only 8 and the Lord sent me an angelic experience..I never again had one and probably will never have one again..BUT he came to me and said "Sissie..dont you cry anymore..I am home with Jesus and I dont hurt anymore..."...For an 8 yr. old sister who couldnt go on without her "Bubba"(loving term here for brother)...and for a lady many many yrs that would be burying 2 of her sons you can believe that experience MUST be shared...SO be at peace my friends...HE IS ADORABLE!!!!! I see so much love in him...THANKS AGAIN..

I'll be thinking of Kurtis and you all as you approach his very first angel day anniversary.

Thank you so much for sending me your web site details. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face as I read your journal and then read all the lovely thoughts other people have sent you. I'm sorry that I have not been in touch late - the days seem to fly by so fast - Calum has only recently turned one and I thank God each day that he is a healthy little boy. Your tribute to Kurtis is truly beautiful and has touched me deeply - I treasure the time I knew him - he was an inspiration to us all. I will continue to check your journals now that I know where you are - please know that my love and thoughts are with you, Andrew and Brandon.

Hello Alana,
My name is Lorraine and I too have lost a little boy with Neuroblastoma, I also live in Australia, St Clair, NSW.
I am so sorry for your terrible loss, because if anyone knows the pain you go through it is me,as you see I lost my darling little son David Edward Lowe, 2nd November, 1972, He was born 15th March, 1970, my first son after 3 daughters. He was diagnosed at 21 months old. I just want you to know it does get a little bit easier as time goes by but the pain in your heart is forever, believe me I know,as it is 29 years since David died and to me it seems like yesterday. The pain is always with you
May God Bless you and your family, and hopefully in a couple of years you will feel a little better. Feel free to email me if you would like to.
Kind regards
Lorraine
I have since remarried, my marriage broke up 6 years after David died.

Dear Alana,

I am so sorry you are feeling so alone. I wish I could stop by your house and check in on you, but I just live too far away.

Have you been in touch with anyone from the list? I am sure that there are other angel moms who would be more than willing to share their experiences with you. That way you wouldn't feel so alone and you would have someone to talk with who would understand your feelings and emotions. Let me know if you need names and addresses....

I am sending my love and my prayers and my strength......angie

Keep doing those fun things....it is okay to still have fun....even though Kurtis isn't right there with you and Brandon. I bet he is watching you from heaven with his own musical instruments playing loudly so you and Brandon can hear him. Listen for him....he is there....feel him in your heart.

I think of you everyday, and I ask God to bring you peace and comfort.....angie

I cannot express how much she is missed by her whole family especially her older sister, Vicky. I have four other granddaughters, but when asked I automatically say that I have five, one in heaven and four here on earth. My heart goes out to you and your family.

The photo of Kurtis and Brandon together is beautiful, and it made my heart break and my eyes cry. It isn't right that Kurtis isn't here with you and his loving family. I wish I had words to make this all better. I don't know your religious beliefs, but I believe that one day, you will be with Kurtis, and somehow all of the pain and lonliness you are feeling will be gone and forgotten. You will be with him and your entire family.....together....happy.....in a world filled only with love, joy, and laughter.

I pray you are able to find comfort, Alana. I pray that you can feel Kurtis's presence in your life each day and every minute of each day. I am sending love, hugs, and prayers.....I only wish I could do more.....angie

Dear Alana,

Thank you for taking time to make this special web page in honor of Kurtis. All his energy and zest really shines through in the photos. I dearly wish he could be here for you, because as mom to four, I know how much my kids help to to renew me and keep me going. I hope you can rediscover some sense of wonderment and lightness of heart that the nb also stole from you. Kurtis would want you to live big everyday just like he did. Peace and prayers for you and all the family.

Take care,
Gloria <nbhope@connect-me.net>

Happy Birthday! I am so sorry that Kurtis wasn't there to celebrate in person, but I do believe he was with you...singing "Happy Birthday" and sending you squeezy hugs.

I am sending my love and my hugs and my prayers......angie
