Deanna,
We never met but your mother has shared you with me. I believe you were both blessed to have each other. What a lovely young lady. You have touched my heart deeply. I think of you often when I am with my children and I look forward to meeting you one day. Until then may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHT OF ON MOTHER'S DAY.KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY PRAYER'S ALWAYS.

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

Everytime I look at Abby when she is coping that little "I am all that and more" attitude, I see you all over her. She reminds me so much of you.

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ask my Mom how she is
My Mom, she tells alot of lies
she never did before.
From now until she dies,
she'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mom how she is
and because she can't explain,
She will tell a little lie
because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mom how is she,
She'll say "I'm alright."
If that's the truth, then tell me,
why does she cry each night?
Ask my Mom how is she,
she seems to cope so well.
She didn't have a choice you see
nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mom how she is,
"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."
For Gods sake Mom, just tell the truth
just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life,
I loved her all of mine.
But if you ask her how is she
she'll lie and say she's fine.
I am here in Heaven.
I cannot hug from here.
If she lies to you don't listen,
Hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again,
we'll smile and I'll be bold.
I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mom
with all the lies you told!"

Today was one of the many "first" without Deanna. It seems like a dream, a bad one, that she is gone. Please keep Pama, Nick and Mimi, along with the rest of our family in your prayers. Pama and Nick are trying to keep busy and Mimi, well sure is making it as best as she can. Mimi, Trisha and I went shopping today for Christmas for the children. I noticed that we all speak of Deanna in the present tense. This kind of makes it seem like she is still here. We saw all the bright and glittery clothes that she loves and I know we were all wishing that we could just wake up and find her trying to pick out the one that she wanted and finally tricked Mimi into buying both or all of them. She knew how to pull those strings with Mimi. We all hope that you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. Our love to all, Deanna's Aunt Kay

Thank you, Wesley. That was so thoughtful of you. Deanna loves it I am sure. They finally came out and put up Deanna's monument. It is beautiful. Pama,Nick and Mimi picked out a Mauve color, heart shaped marble. On the back Pama and Nick designed flowers,butterflies and the script "You are my Sunshine". Deanna would think it is beautiful. You know nothing less than "awesome" for that girl. Our family continues to keep you in our prayers. You were special to Deanna in many ways. Keep up the fight and the faith.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Deanna and my heart breaks for you and your family. I lost my 16 year old Jennifer to AML leukemia following a valiant 7 month battle for life and I understand how difficult this is for you. How I hate this dreaded cancer that causes so much pain and suffering and robs us of our children and grandchildren. If you ever need to talk to someone, cry, kick, scream or just need a hug, I am just a click away.

You will hold your precious child again one day in a world much better than this but next time it will be forever. May God draw close to strengthen you and fill your life with love, peace, joy and faith, but most of all hope.

Love and prayers,
Judy

Found Deanna's name on a list on smile quilts. I was reading the journal entries that were made. My son is 14 and he has been hospitlized since April 29. He had a Liver transplant on May 13 and was diaganosed with Aplastic Anemia on June 6 and now he needs another liver transplant but with his white count so low and very low platelets he will never live through the surgery. I understand about the high bilirubin and ammonia levels. I will pray for your family. It is tough to lose a loved one.

Just checking in on you all. We loved Deanna so much...from those early days of diagnosis when she rode around the hospital in a wheelchair (skinny little thing) to the last few months we got to see her, looking so healthy and happy...always smiling. Checking on you just reminds me of how much we miss her. It's times like these that you realize that you either truly believe in eternity or you don't...I DO! I believe that heaven is as real as tomorrow's sunrise and I know Deanna must be there, happy and healthy once again. I wanted to come to her funeral, but I couldn't. I hope you understand. We've been to far too many throughout the years and it's just too difficult and too painful to watch family after family say goodbye to their most precious gifts, their beautiful children. Please just know that we love you all and are so thankful for having met you all. As I've said before, knowing Deanna was such a blessing to our lives. I found out the other day at Matthew OT checkup that Todd Stevens had relapsed. They're trying to find a donor. My heart aches all over again. Another precious friend in a struggle for their life. God bless you and take care.

To all of Deanna's family members:
You are a very loving family and I feel as though I have known all of you for a very long time. We are thinking of you at this time and praying for God to give you "Special Grace" that only He can give. I can't relate to the pain you must feel but I know Jesus can. Deanna's funeral was so beautiful--she looked so sweet and angelic behind her lovely veil. It was truly a celebration of her life. You choose the perfect songs that ministered to all of us and I know they were her favorite ones. The lighting of the candels made it complete and so intimate. We were truely on Holy Ground and I felt millions of angels all around. I pray now for ministering angels to comfort all of you and that you will remember the lovely memories of Deanna's life. SHe had an impact on our youth group and me. I love you all and it was truely an honor to be with you. You are really a close-knit family and very Blessed to have each other to lean on. I admire your strength Pama, Love, Mary

Dear Pama-
I learned recently of Deanna'a passing from Janet Sims (Janie's mom) in Birmingham. I too, just lost my nine year old daughter Alexandria on February 16th, 2003. She had fought the ALL battle for 2 and a half years, relapsed, had a BMT from her brother, relapsed on Day + 89 and passed away 8 weeks later. It is the most devastating thing that could EVER happen to a mommy. I do not want to alarm you, I just want you to be prepared for the possibility that is happening to many of the bereaved caring bridge parents. It seems as if we were all quite strong in the beginning, which in hindsight, I believe, was shock. Three months later, when the shock is wearing off, things seem more difficult on some days. I think as time goes by, I just miss her more. I don't share this with you for any other reason than the fact that many shared it with me, and so when it happened, I realized I was normal. Everyone grieves differently, and there is no right or wrong way or timeline. I just wanted to let you know that I am here any time you want to talk. I will pray for your son, as I know it was more difficult for my son who was the donor. Rely on friends and family for help through the coming weeks. There are so many of us that have lost our precious children since January due to this horrible disease called cancer. It is just so sad and breaks my heart that our children would endure so much for so long only to lose the battle. I suppose they are also the winners, as they now get to spend eternity in heaven. Take care of yourselves as best you can and know that many of us will be praying for your comfort and strength.

God Bless-

Just a quick note to tell you all that I love you very much and you are in my thoughts and prayers. The funeral service was beautiful. I enjoyed hearing the stories about Deanna from her youth pastor. She was so wonderful. What an incredible girl! The music was beautiful - everything was. I keep listening to "Grace Flows Down." It will now always remind me of her and the faith that she had and the way that she touched so many people's lives. I miss her so much already. I am here if any of you need anything. You are still family and I will always be Nick and Deanna's "Aunt Jill." I love you and I will talk to you soon. This is something someone emailed to me a while back. I saved it because it reminds me that God is always with us even when things seem so hopeless and difficult. I know that you have such a long road ahead of you, and some days will be harder than others. None of us will ever really understand why God allows some things to happen. One day we will be able to ask Him ourselves, but when we are face to face with our Heavenly Father, it won't even matter anymore. We will be praising Him for eternity, just like Deanna is doing now. She's probably singing her favorite worship songs to Him right now while He holds her. We just have to pray for peace, strength, and comfort to get through this time.

Eagle's Wings

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long

before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the

winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind

will pick it

up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is

soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift

it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm. When the

storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can

rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God.

The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness,

tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the

storm. Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is

how we handle them.

The Bible says, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their

strength. They will soar on wings like eagles."

Isaiah 40:31

Hey Pama...
A friend of mine named Gilia wrote a poem in English class for Deanna, and i think she speaks for everyone when she says:

Deanna...
When you were here on earth,
You blessed us with your smile,
You were always nice to people
Even though some were vile!
We never saw you frowning
Or even a little sad
You kept a smile on your face
Even when things were bad
The pain you went through
Was all kept inside
The suffering, the hurting,
You would just hide
You were so strong
To go through what you did
You showed such bravery
To be just a kid
You are my hero now
Because of what you went through
I don't know what I would've done
Had I have been you
Even though you're gone,
We will forget you never,
Your spirit lives on…
We love you Deanna~~~FOREVER.

Pama, be strong and remember that i love u.

My heart is still so heavy from news of Deanna in Heaven, but I just know that she is now happy and pain-free. Always know that you will see her once again and as each day goes by, you are a day closer to seeing her again. And when you do, it will be forever. She was such a special girl to me and I will always remember her strength, courage, determination and will to live. She fought hard and what a great battle it was... you are all always in my thoughts and prayers...God bless you.

Dear Pama, Nick and Mimi,
Words cannot begin to express the sadness that is felt with the loss of our Deanna. From the moment that we moved here and met Deanna, she always seemed like the niece I never had. She was a wonderful girl, always taking care of everybody. I can still hear her call to me when she needed something or if one of the boys were annoying her, which happened more often than not. She was a bright, funny, witty, beautiful child with a love inside her bigger than the whole world! I can still see her skating around, and playing dress up the way she loved to do!

I have never known someone who touched so many, no matter how old, or how young. Deanna truly cared about everyone. She was a gift of God, and when she needed Him, He came and took her Home.

I will miss Deanna's sweet smile, and the way her eyes twinkled when she was up to something, and the way she loved getting a new boyfriend! She was one of a kind!

I am so sorry for your loss as are the people at church. There are no words to describe how you are feeling right now, and after loosing my dad last year, I can only tell you that God is the only way along with your family and church family to get you through it, let the church help you, that's why we're here and that is what helped us get through it. You go to a big church and that's a great thing, that means you have a big church family and we are all praying for your family. You will be in my prayers.

Our family would like to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers that have been lifted up for us during Deanna's sickness. It was a true blessing to see how many people took the time out of their busy life to check on us. Please don't forget about Pama,Nick and Mimi. They will continue to need to know that you are still there. There are many other children that need our thoughts and prayers tonight. Our prayer tonight is that God will lead our medical leaders to find a cure for this disease that takes too many young lives. Again thanks for all the love that has been sent our way. Sweet Dreams,Deanna,you can finally rest tonight. Love from all of Deanna's aunts,uncles,cousins and greatgrandmother.

Dearest Mimi, Pama & Nick,
I just got the news that Deanna earned her beautiful angel wings...I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I just cannot believe it. I really am in shock and just so extremely heartbroken...I've been checking in on Deanna nearly everyday and cheered so hard for her...I know she fought hard and so bravely...what an inspiration she is. I will always remember her. As saddened as I am to know that she is no longer with us, it brings me just as much comfort to know that she is now completely healed and safe in the arms of God. She will no longer have to feel pain and she no longer will have to feel fear. Oh, I am just so proud of her! I never got the pleasure to meet Deanna but I know that I'm gonna miss her. I pray that God will give all of you the strength that you need to go through this difficult time in your lives. I am thinking of you always.. please know that you have all my love and prayers. Deanna sure was such a special girl and she'll alawys have a place in my heart..

Love, hugs, kisses & prayers,
XOXOXOXOXOX

Dear Pama , Nick and MiMi,
There's nothing I could say to make this any easier, I wish there was. I'm so sorry Pama. But, when I saw Deanna this morning she was finally peaceful, she was no longer hurting, God has special plans for her, and you know she'll always be with you, being your Angel up above! Ya'll are all such great people, but I've truly never heard anyone speak so highly of their mother than Deanna. If you only knew some of the things she use to say about you, how proud she was to have a mom like you, she truly loved you w/ everything she had. I feel blessed that I knew Deanna, she, at first was our babysitter, but it only took a short time and she was like a friend, a daughter i never had, the boys sister and eventually her and Nick knew they were just part of the family. My prayers are with ya'll and I'm willing to help do anything I can, Pama whatever you need, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are w/ya'll always.
Love,
Vandy

Dear Pama, Nick, Mimi... when I signed the guestbook about 9 a.m. today, little did I think the next time I checked your website, Deanna would have her angel wings. I am so sorry. My heart breaks for you. Even though I only got to see her that time at the cancer center, she has been in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that the time she spent petting my dog, Ellie, brought her some comfort and distraction from being there that day. My prayers are with you and the family. Love, Ms. Nena and Ellie

It is sometimes difficult for us to understand Divine Wisdom and Divine Order, but they are at work in all things. I pray for your strength in dealing with your loss. She is now pain free and with God. I trust her short life was an extreme blessing to you as are all in your life. God loves her and you. You will be reunited in time. May God lift you up in your time of grief. He has big hands, let Him carry you in this time.

I don't know what to say, I'm sorry seems so inadequate! I can't imagine what you are all experiencing right now, but I hope you remember that Deanna touched more peoples in her short life than most of us do in a lifetime. She was truly an inspiration to many and she will never be forgotten

I wish I could think of something to say that even makes sense right now. All I can think of to say is that I'm praying for all of you, and my heart is breaking for you and with yours. Since I heard the terrible news this morning, all I can think about is taking care of her and hearing her say "Aunt Jill." I know that there isn't much that is comforting right now and all I can think about is how unfair this all seems. But God knew all along exactly what day and what time Deanna would be coming home to Him, and He was waiting with open arms to embrace her this morning. She will never have to hurt or be sick again. I will miss her terribly, and all the other nurses on 4 Tower will as well. We all love her so much. If there is anything Kyle and I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. We will be praying for you. We love you. (our # is 841-1655)

Pama, I am so sorry. I can't put into words my sorrow for you and your family. I'll never forget the day you and Deanna came to visit Janie in her room when she was first diagnosed. Deanna was an inspiration to Janie and she made Janie feel not so scared. She was the first person to tell us about Magic Moments and how wonderful our wish trip would be. And she was right.
All the many, many times Janie was on 4Tower or in Clinic 5, we would often see Deanna. She was usually talking to the kids or with the office ladies at the desk. It seems EVERYONE knew Deanna and loved having her around. Such an inspiration.
I am so shocked at her passing. Dan and I have checked on you all everyday and like so many other people, we have prayed for her healing. From one grieving mother to another, I am devastated. Please know I am here for you when you are ready. If you have ANY questions, if you want to scream or cry or whatever...I'll be here.
We are praying for your family.

Hi Pama and Deanna, I hated to read that Deanna is now on a vent. But if it will help her to breathe easier and help her to heal, it will be worth it. We will be praying for her to get stronger each hour. Also for the family's strength as you wait for your time with her. Hopefully she will be back in her room soon so you can sit by her every minute. Much prayers are going up for her. Love, Ms. Nena

Hi Deanna!

My name is LaTasia Allison. Let me tell you when we got the news of your illness on Tuesday, April 29th my co-worker Carlean Adams and I went in prayer on your behalf. I truly believe that God is going to heal you and bring you home. I had the awesome privilege on Thursday, May 1st to meet your family. Carlean and I and her daughter Jessica came to the hospital for a visit. Jessica and your mom got to visit, but because visiting hours were over Carlean and I did not get to visit with you. It was a joy meeting your family and friends of your family.

I know you are going to be healed because the spirit has told me so and I am standing on Gods word believing it will be done. Your mom shared with us how strong your faith is, but also remember to continue to pray and stay encouraged...God is in control and you will get better!

To Pama and Mi Mi I say God bless you! I will never forget how you looked when we came onto the floor, but after we left you had peace and I praise God for that. I will be praying for your strength and comfort as you continue to go through these next days. God is with you ALL and his word says that he will NEVER leave us nor forsake us, so hold on to this and you can make it. He won't put anymore on you than you can bear, but he is always with us just as he is with Deanna.

I love you all and will continue to pray with you and for you. If there is anything you need please let me know. I hope to see you soon!

Yours in Christ,
LaTasia :)

We sang a song at church Sunday and I thought of you. It says-His strenght is perfect. He will carry us when all strength is gone.-- Just remember His strength is perfect. I think God is just pouring His strength all over Deanna. And everyone else in the family. Psalm 29:11 The Lord gives strength to his people; the Lord blesses his people with peace. I'm glad Nick and Mimi got to spend some time together this weekend . Tell Nick that Anna got her first fish this weekend. It was about 2 inches long. All our love and prayers, Rhonda

To Our Dearest Deanna,
I hope you slept well last night! Just wanted you to know that the boys woke up asking to see you. I wanted you to know how much we all miss you and love you. Sweetie, I can't even imagine what your going through, but you have to be the strongest person I know with such a will to live. Hang in there honey, you've got to hurry and go back to your other room on the 6th floor, I can't stand one nurse in PICU I pray she's doing her job and that she keeps checking on our baby! ( She doesn't want me to say something to her, I'd probably be just plain nasty to her) A little improvement each day is great, you'll probably be back up on sixth floor pretty soon! We're going to Dora, Al. today it's Jessie's B'day and he lives on land. The boys think he lives on a farm, there going to be upset when they realize the only animal there is their shih-tzu that they don't even let outside. We'll be thinking about you and I'll be calling Pama to get progress reports!

We love you!

Hi Deanna, This is Ms. Nena. My dog, Ellie, and I visited with you when you were at the cancer center waiting for treatment one day. We have not forgotten about you... we have been keeping in touch with your news through Austin's mother. Finally yesterday, I asked about your website and found it was .com instead of .org. No wonder I could not find it earlier. I am glad that now I can find out updates on your site. I have you in my prayers and hope that today is a very good day for you.... Love, Ms. Nena and Ellie

Me again, I called my dad and gave him the number. The Red Cross had just called him back and said they found it. So, he has an appointment on Tuesday Morning, that is as soon as they could get him in. It will be direct donor for Deanna. He does not match Taylor, so he said he will give as often as he can for her. Just let us know when you need them. Is she still getting them every day? Thanks for getting the number. He is so excited to be able to help someone we have grown close to. I hope everything is improving. Deanna has a lot of peopel praying for her. We love you all,

Good Morning, I hope today all is well. My dad has treid to give fro Deanna, but life south wont take it until the doctor sends an order fro direct donrs for her. Red Cross said she wasn't on file. They both said several people had called on her behalf, but were turned away. He has made an appointment at life south to just give and we hope they are available for her. I do hope things are looking brighter today.

Deanna, Pam, Barbara ,B.J, You are all in a constant prayer from our family. I don't know what I can say that would make you fill better. I wish I had the same blood type, but I don't. If there is anything that we can do please e-mail , or tell James Earl and Trisha and they will pass the world. Please remember that God is with you , We have read a lot of letters and know what miracles God can do. We are sure one is going to come for Deanna.

Good Morning, Deanna
Keep on keeping on. God is an on time God. Keep the faith. I am praying for you. When I came to see you on Easter, you have really touched my heart. Not because you are sick, but because you have to go through with your illness. I don't think it is fair for children to go through the hurt, because as parents, we can't take the pain away from you. So I ask God every night and day, to comfort you and to hold you close in His loving arms. Stay strong. God loves you and so do I.
Love Ellen

Deanna,

You are a perfect child of God, created in His image, with the Christ Spirit in ever cell of your body. Except perfect health and release your worries to the loving, healing power of God. Picture yourself whole and in perfect health with every passing moment. I know this may sound hard to do, but I know it works because we've used it with my son who was born with a rare birth defect.

God works miracles. What got me through my son's trying first few days of life was a story of Napoleon Hill's son. Napoleon Hill wrote a famous book entitled Think and Grow Rich. (I encourage you to read it when you have the opportunity.) His son was born without ears. Doctors told Napoleon his son would never hear and that there was nothing he could do about it. Napoleon responded that there was never a point in life when you can't do something, even if what you do is simply adjust your thinking to accept a result other than expected. He did not give up on his son, and prayed four hours every day about his son's condition. He told the doctors his son would one day hear just as anyone with ears. Doctors laughed at him, brushing him off as a dillusional optimist. When his son was 2, he started to show signs that he could hear. Eventually, his hearing developed to 75% of what a child with ears would be expected to have as their hearing range. Before he left for college, a company had developed a special hearing aid and he gained full hearing - 100%. My son was born with a rare condition in which his bladder was wrong side out and outside of his body. We were told he may never be able to live without a diaper, may never have control of his bladder, may walk with a limp that would require corrective surgery that was not 100% perfected to provide correction. Today, he has no problem walking normally, and at age 3 is toilet training, spending the majority of the day in dry training underwear, not unlike many three-year-old boys. We pictured perfect outcomes. His bladder should be 1/3 the size of a normal child's because of the damage of correcting his Bladder Exstrophy. It was measured a few weeks ago and it is on the low end of the normal range for a child his age - nothing less than a miracle manifested by prayer and conscious "knowing" that God, the Master Physician, was in charge and at work in his healing every day and every hour. I pray for your mental strength to pull your through the physically challenging task of battling cancer. I pray for your perfect health and see you accepting at all levels the perfect health that is your birthright as a child of God. May God bless you and your friends and family strengthen you with prayers and love. There is nothing in this world that love and prayer can't conquer.

In loving prayer,

K. Myers
Fort Worth TX

P.S. The other thing we did right after my son was born was call Silent Unity, our church's national prayer support line. Their prayer room was flooded with requests for my son from all over the country. They are at your service anytime, day or night, at 816-969-2000 or http://www.unityworldhq.org/silent_unity.htm. I've placed your name on their prayer list and they will pray for you 24 hours a day. You, of course, have our prayers as well.

WE are all praying for a speedy recovery. My dad is a match for your blood type. He will donate for you. He just gave plts, so it will be a few days before he can give. He goes to Life SOuth. I am sure if he gives you will receive them, but you may have to call and have him put on your direct donor list. We had to do that for Taylor. HIs name is Neal Shamblin. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Deanna, we are keeping a close check on you.
Ephesians 3:14-19 For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measrue of all the fulness of God.
That is one of my favorite scriptures. When I read the notes people write to you, there is so much love for you and so many prayers that I can't even comprehend it. YOU STAY STRONG. YOU ARE AN AMAZING YOUNG LADY. All our love and prayers to all of you, Rhonda

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time now. You have so many people praying for you, you will feel those prayers being answered very soon. Jim and I are both o positive. My dad is o negative, but I don't know about the CMV status. I will ask him. He would be honored to donate for you. GOd Bless you all. Rest while you can, you will be up and running in no time!!

Hi,

I am so sorry for what Deanna is having to face. Holly had those nasty mouth sore too. She sometimes received platelets twiced a day. I know it is hard to watch them in so much pain. Rest assured that good days are coming. I have lifted Deanna up in my prayers right now. I will pray for her everytime her name comes to mind. Holly and I was talking about the mouth sores just at lunch while eating ice cream cones. I'll try to come back daily to pray for Deanna. God is so good. We just need to wait on His time.

Deanna, you are doing such a good job walking!! Sounds like you and Matthew sleep alike. He was a sleep when I got home last night and he was hot. So I chnged his PJs and he doesn't even remember. We will pray for wisdom for the doctor to figure out what to do about the stomach pain and swelling. Glad to know that Taylor is home and we will pray for him. Tell Nick we said hello. All our love and prayers, Rhonda

I know ya'll are so busy taking care of Deanna and I just appreciate you taking the time to let us know how she is doing. I'll call Mama when I read a new update just in case she hasn't talked to anyone. Matthew and Brian are going to Tiger Cubs tonight so Anna and I will do girl things. Maybe paint her toenails red (you know who she gets that from). We are looking forward to being in AL the end of May. Glad you all found a way for Deanna to take her medicine. I know that is so difficult. I can't even begin to imagine. We will pray for a quick ???take over of Nick's cells. All our love and prayers.

That's the way to go girl. You are one tough cookie. The boys and Whitney said Hello. The boys don't understand where Deanna is. I told them she would be home soon and coming back to Nanny's.

I have been thinking about all of you and wanted to share something with you. One of Anna's teachers at church told them this. If you are ever lonely or afraid remember God is with you and he is holding your hand. Take your thumb and tuck it under you fingers and you are holding God's hand. Isaiah 41:13 says For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear; I will help you. I was just thinking that God has your right hand and your friends and family have your left hand and we are praying for all of you. All our love and prayers, Rhonda

Deanna,
I talked to your mom in the hall. I am glad things went okay. Did it smell? I know taylor's was awful, but he got his own cells back. I didn't know if a donor was different or not?? I know you feel yuck and unfortunately it is going to get worse before it gets better. Do that mouth care as best you can. At least a few times a day. I know it is gross and it hurts, but it wil help. I pray your blood pressure levels out so you can get some pain med. That will help you sleep. I had a rotten week last week beacsue taylor was miserable and cranky. I could not see how it would get better, ever. I cried, he cried, we fought with each other, it was just awful. Now, just one week later. He is fine. We may even go home by the weeks end, If he will drink. (send positive vibes our way!!) So, there is light at hte end of the tunnel. You will see it soon. You are in my prayers.
Nick,
You did a GREAT thing today!!! That is awesome that you helped your sister like that. You should be so proud!

God Bless you all!!

Hey Deanna :)

I was hoping that you were feeling better when I logged on to check in on you today...but unfortunately that's not the case :( I really am so sorry that you are in a lot of pain and having yucky diorrhea (I can't spell either Pama!!)...I pray that it will all go away...please hang in there...you have gone through so much and have come a long way...if you look at yourself, you will see a VERY, VERY strong and brave person!! I don't know anyone who could go through what you are going through...I wish I could give you a hug! I'll be praying extra hard for you...hopefully today is a better day! Keep strong, Deanna..

Sending you lots of sunshine,
XOXOXOXO

Hi Deanna....stopped by to check on you and say Hello. I visit your Page almost every day to see how things are going for you. You are such a remarkable Young Lady. ( I know because I've heard stories From a mother about meeting you when they first went to Clinic after being diagnosed.) "Hang in there!"... Know that one more friend is praying for you..and keeping you in her thoughts.

Wanted to sit down and check on you before going to bed tonight. Sounds like everything is going right on schedule. I was glad to hear that Trisha and Becky came over and visited with you for awhile. I will see you girls and boy Monday. I will have to check to see where you will be. Sounds like Nannie fixed you up good. Her cornbread is something everyone should have at least once in their life,right? It is getting late and the boys will be up early. We have a parade in the morning for the start of ball season. Bo's team has a game at 11:00 and Hunter has one at 12:00. We will all be running all day probably. Sweet Dreams,Sweetheart. I love all of you. Aunt Kay

Wow, Pam. You got some of Nannie's cornbread. It makes my mouth water just thinking of it. Eat some for me. I'm glad things went okay today. I hope all of you are getting to rest. Deanna, I was thinking that when you get to feeling like it, you and Nick need to plan a trip to Texas. Mimi and Mom might want to come to. We could go to the famous Mesquite Rodeo. We could send the boys to a baseball game and the girls could go shopping. I think that would be fun. Anna likes it when the girls get to do girl things. Its past my bedtime. I'll check on you tomorrow. All our love to everyone! Rhonda

Hey Girl! I hope you are doing well. You better do that mouth care, those mouth sores can be nasty! (and you definitely wouldn't want to eat sour patch kids) I watched American Idol tonight (and last night) and thought about you. I am sure you were watching. Looks like Rueben might be the idol! I work again on Friday, so if I get a chance, I will try to come up to see you! Hang in there!

Deanna and Pama (Nick and Mimi too!)

A Friend…
When you need something to cry on, you can use my shoulder...
When you need someone to listen, you have my ear...
When you can't find your way, my eyes will help to guide you...
When you reach out for someone, I'll always be near...
When your days are all rainy, I'll bring an umbrella...
When you really need a friend, remember I'll be here!

It was great to see you last night. Sorry I couldn't stay longer, but it was late and past my bedtime :)
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

A quote I want to share...
"Man can live for about forty days without food, and about three days without water, about eight minutes without air ... but only for one second without hope".

"I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Deanna, My name is Diane and I'm a friend of your Mimi's. I met you once several years ago at Mary Nell Wade's house at our annual "After-Christmas party". You were just a little girl then. I've been reading all about you and all of the neat "stuff" on your website. The pictures show what a beautiful young woman you have grown into. Want you to know I'm thinking about you and praying that all will go well with your bone marrow procedure. You are the bravest person I know, and Nick too. My nephew, Craig Wooten, works at Children's Hospital, and I am going to ask him to stop by and see you one day. He is a respiratory therapist and I believe he works with cystic fibrosis children. Anyway,just wanted you to know I am thinking about you. (Barbara, I would love to come to the hospital and take you out to lunch one day, or just do anything I can do to help, if you will let me. I'll try to call you today, but if I don't get you, call me when you get a chance.)

Girl, I am not going to tell you again, DO THAT MOUTH CARE!!!!!!! Taylor is hurting, but think how bad he would hurt if he didn't do teh mouth care. Just think how easy you can do it. Swish and spit. Taylor has to be held down and attacked with a toothette. It wont be so bad for you. I know it taste awful (Taylor makes me taste test everything first) and it burns, but it really is worth it in the end. I am glad today was smoother than yesterday and I hope tomorrow is even better. Chemo is no fun, I know, but you will do great. I am praying for you all. God Bless you!!

Hey, girls! Sounds like you had kinda of a okay day. I bet the guys are really having a time getting everything fixed up for yall. I bet you can't wait to see it. I hope you get some rest tonight. I know it is hard being away from home but we are all praying that the time will past fast for you. Jordan was up last night coughing. Bo had to give him his breathing treatment twice. He did not send him to school today. They want you to know Mimi that their games start Saturday. I explained that you would get to come later. They like for Mimi and Nanny to be there. The more people, the louder the yelling for them. I will let you go for tonight. We will keep you updated. Sweet Dreams, Sweetheart. We love you all lots. Aunt Kay

We're praying for Nick too. I hope that goes well. And MiMi & Pama, praying for God to give you the strength you'll need to take care of those two kids. And the peace you'll need to not loose your mind in the process!! Cling to your Father & He'll see you through this.

Well,it certainly sounds like you girls had a busy day today. I wish I could have been there for lunch. Tomorrow is a big day for Deanna. It seems to be the magical day for so many reasons. Make-up,dating,driving,etc. But for all of our family it will be a day of Thanksgiving that God has seen fit to bring Deanna into our lives. Deanna, you are such an inspiration to me. When I find myself feeling a little down or blue, I think of you. You are always smiling and happy and I pray to God to make me act like you.[except for the times you show out]HA! I hope you have a wonderful 16th Birthday!! We all Love You Bunches!! Sweet Dreams, Sweetheart. Love you, Aunt Kay and Uncle Sonny..

Hey Deanna, we hope you are feeling better soon and get to go home. We are hoping to go home Friday. Meagan is fever free right now just waiting for our counts to go up. Your grandmother told us that you were having a transplant in April. We will be rooting for you and keeping you in our prayers. Your brother is very brave to do this for you. We know everything will go well and you will be feeling great soon. It will be a long stay up in the "gated community" upstairs but it will all be worth it. Stay strong. You can do this. You and Meagan both are going to beat this. Good luck to you all.

Hi Deanna, Just talked to your Mimi and she caught me up on what's been going on with you. It sounds like you are progressing just like you should be towards receiving the transplant. You and your family are so very close; it's really wonderful to see how you are pulling together to overcome your condition. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Maybe I'll have to come over to your house and we can pig out together! Stay strong and be sweet. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. You are on the permanent prayer list in our Sunday School class. God bless. By the way, Matthew says "hello"...but of course, he's screaming it at the top of his lungs! What else is new?

It seems like this flu will never be over but hopefully everyone will be well soon. I am so thankful that you are feeling well enough to send us all a note. I can't wait until we get to have the party that you wanted all your aunts and grandmothers to have. Whitney said that Chinese food and Mexican sounded good to her.

Hey Deanna !! You have a ton of folks who are thinking about you and who rejoiced with the great news that you are winning the battle . Like we preach to our football team , you've got to keep battling every day , and never , ever , give up or quit . Your courage and perseverence says a lot about you , and the way your parents raised you . I'd love for you to talk to the team next season on how to refuse to let current circumstances keep you from believing you can win . You have what we are constantly trying to reinforce in our players : that spirit and mental toughness that gets you through the tough times . Hang in there . We're proud of you !

Deanna,

Happy Valentines Day. I am so excited that you are in remission. I will continue to pray for the end to this ordeal for you. Keep getting stronger. Today was the kind of days you will enjoy next year as a sophomore. There was a gentleman's auction during the day. I was told that two sets of guys bidded for eachother, just to be difficult and not allow the ladies to buy their way. I am sure it was funny to witness so maybe next year I will attend also. Other than that, no real "news" from my perspective. Tommorrow is teacher conference day so no students have to attend school. Plus Monday is a holiday - President's Day. Yep...a four day weekend. Your presence is missed but take your time and get well. I look forward to seeing you.....

how are you feeling? When you attended 8th grade at Berry wasn't one of your teachers Mr.Robbins? Well, I told him about you and he was praying for you along with the First Priority People... There was a guest speaker there and I guess Mr.Robbins told him and he prayed for you... Also, don't you know Paige, Lauern and them at my church? Well, I tell them what is going on... Well, almost everything... My youth paster Micah and Alan, Mary and them also pray for you... So you have a great deal of people praying for you. My family, friends, and relitives and so on are also praying for you... Well, take care and try to get some rest...

Deanna,

I came by to check on you today. I am so sorry your stomach is hurting you. Holly had alot of problems with her stomach at time too. I don't think they ever really knew what was wrong.

Was your brother a DNA match?

Hello all,
Just stopping by to say that we are thinking of you, Deanna. We're going in today for Matthew's 4 month OT, praying that all is still well. It makes me nervous hearing Deanna's story of relapse, b/c Matthew keeps saying his back hurts on and off. He'll say it one night and then it will be fine the next morning. Was it a constant pain for her or did it come and go? Anyway, I'm afraid to let me guard down. Otherwise, he's doing great. Maybe you guys are in today and we'll get to visit. God bless and take care.

Hi friends,

Deanna, we hope you feel better soon. Hopefully the doctors help will give you the extra strength you need to get back to eating again. Didn't you do that the first time too?

We'll keep you in our prayers, especially this Monday. Praying for clean marrow!!!!

I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. You are such a strong and plucky young lady, and I know you will bounce back from this. I remember you at a Berry Middle School dance several years ago before your lovely chestnut brown locks grew back. You were wearing a precious hat and dancing up a storm. My husband, who helped me to chaperone that evening,speaks of you often because he thinks you are just about the bravest young lady he has ever seen. You are in our prayers, sweet Deanna. Please know that team 6-3 loves you.

Deanna, Pama, Nick and Mimi,

I ask the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today.
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way.
His love is always with you
His promises are true.
And when we give Him all our cares
You know He will see us through.
So when the road you're traveling
Seems difficult at best,
Just remember I'm here praying,
And God will do the rest.

Love, Linda

Hi Deanna! Your Mimi told me that you had relapsed. I am so sorry. Taylor was sorry to hear about it too. She doesn't understand Lukemia, but she knows it is bad. Your Mimi has told me how brave you are and how sweet you have been to volunteer at the hospital and give hope and friendship to some of the other children who suffer from this disease. Sometimes life doesn't seem fair, but you have been so strong. Stay strong Deanna, the Lord will walk with you all the way. A lot of people are praying for you and you in my prayers too. Love you, Carolyn

Oh Pama & Deanna, I am so sorry to hear about Deanna's relapse. Steven & I will help you out in any way. You know he works for UAB, so he's downtown too. He can bring you lunch, or come sit with you. Call me if we can do anything.

We will keep her in our prayers. Praying for peace & rest for all of you for now. Praying that these drugs do their thing & even though she'll have a hard time...remember...it is only temporary. You'll be back to normal "soon". You sure bounced back before. You have tunred into a beautiful "healthy" looking young lady. And you have such a loving heart. I am so glad we've gotten to know you over the years. And glad we're on your "Prayer Team" & able to be a part of this miracle too.

God bless you,

Dearest Deanna & Family. Remember that JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH YOU. He loves you so very much and knows all of the prayers that we are laying at his feet for you. My son was just 8 years old when he was dagnosed with the fastest growing cancer of all childhood cancers, called Burkitts Lymphoma. I was told in by three different people during three different times,to have the elders of our church come and pray over him and anoint him just like it says in James 4:13-15. We did this because I strongly felt like God was working through these three people to have this done. Our son is 15 years old today and is 5'8", wears a size 12 mens shoe and mens ring and is always witnessing to everyone about his miracle healing from the Lord. I pray for your healing as well to be done here in this world so that you too may go forth and tell others about God's love. I pray for your Mom and family as well, that God will give them the strength they need to fight this battle once more. Remember to put on the FULL ARMOR OF GOD, Ephesians 6:10 daily. God Bless you dear one, and Kirby my 15 year old son as well as the rest of our family will be on our knees praying for you daily. If you or your family should need to talk or anything, please do not hesitate to contact me. We will comfort you as we have been comforted! Blessings, The Kirby Wallace Family.

Hello Sweet Little princess(Deanna)
This is Suzanne(Tammi's mother). I am so sad that this condition has come back on you! You are in my heart. You are in my prayers, and you are in my thoughts. I believe in miracles just like the precious little miracle that happened when you were born. With a lot of people praying for you a miracle could be possible. You are so very precious to all of us who love you. Remember: "All things are possible through Christ". He loves you Deanna, and so do I. Have faith in Him, and stand saying, "I will not let the evil one win. The evil one who doesn't care about me. I will put my complete faith in Jesus. I will stand strong, and let My Lord and MY God do His sweet work to help me". 'HE THAT IS IN YOU IS MUCH STRONGER THAN he THAT LIVES IN this world... I love you very, very much Sweetie, and I'm going to keep on praying for you.

love you always, Suzanne

Deanna, Pama, Nick and Mimi,

I just heard the news of Deanna'a relapse. I am so sorry you have to go through all of this AGAIN! I remember when I first met you on 4 tower after Deanna had been diagnosed. It was in the scrapbooking class. I know that was a very difficult time and I can only imagine the uncertainty you are feeling now.

Deanna, you are a precious young lady with a lot of spunk in you and I know you can beat this. Please know that we are here for you if you need anything.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you... Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
