All I can say is amazing. Katie was such a bright little girl and so full of life. I know I have said it before, but she reminds me so much of my Shelby. I can remember when we would look at your website, Shelby always thought she was looking at pictures of herself. I know that our little angels are chillaxin' together in Heaven and had the Easter egg hunt of their lives. God Bless and we miss you!

Hi there Bedard Family,

I'm not sure if you remember me(Renee) or my daughter Stephanie, we were in LHSC alot of the time you were in with your beautiful daughter. We spent more time on 7 South while you were on West. Anyways, I was there the day your little hero passed and I think of you always. My oldest daughter just registered as a blood and marrow donor, we've always wanted to but things have been hectic these past 3 years. We picked your foundation to donate to when we attended Angel Shelby's service, we really love what you are doing in honour of your daughter. The rest of us are going to take the time to get registered too. Keep up the great work that you do and my best to your family.

I was thrilled to see that you and I share a birthday :-) (although I am a wee bit older, to be sure!)I hope you had a very special day with your 'Bryan's' and no doubt, Katie was nearby. It was very nice to see an update from Bryan and the wonderful photo of Bryan and Katie at the pool on that very special day you all had...we miss Katie too and would give anything to get that time machine for you. That is wonderful news that Katie's foundation is now a registered charity, congratulations and keep up the
GREAT work, you are making a difference! Look forward to hearing more updates in the future, all the best,

Valentines...... To Heaven

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.

Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."

"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."

"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."

"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."

"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."

I am also hoping to sell Ron Giles' Got Marrow? t-shirts, have to clear that thru the school board first, but I know there will be no problem with the business cards. Thanks a bunch, look forward to hearing from you...all the best,

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.a

Today at work I met these two fabulous people.They ended up being Katie's grandparents.
We found out we have alot in common.
We were both blessed with very special angels named Katelyn.
My niece passed away last March and her name is Katelyn Laforet.
There must be something special with that name because both parents are doing their best to help other parents. My sister and her husband are having a blood clinic in her honour tomorrow.
I think it is great to know that you's can set your grief aside to help other parents from going through the same agony.
Keep fighting the fight!
Through our conversation we found out that both Katelyn's were at London Hospital at the same time.
You have a very special little angel and I am so sorry for your loss.
These children have to go through so much and they are the biggest blessings life can give us.

Hi there Joanne, Bryan & Little Man Bryan ... Shelby's Grammy, Carol stopping by to say hello & let you know how wonderful it was to see you both at Kent's Visitation last week. Although the circumstances were sorrowful, it was so nice to see your faces & have our hearts remember the times we spent together at the "Hilton". Whenever Shelby & I check your site & look at any pictures of sweet Angel Katie, Shelby is always adament that the pictures are of her & not Katie. Shelby is such a strong willed & stubborn little girl that there is no convincing her otherwise. Shelby remembers Katie outdoors at the hospital in the "park" as she refers to it, or in her little swimming pool in her room. She also remembers little Bryan having fun running in the halls at the hospital. He is turning into quite the little "hear breaker".
We think of you all so often & remember you in our prayers & thoughts. You have all been such a positive inspiration to us. Gratitude is Memory of the Heart & our Hearts are so very grateful for the sweet memories we have of Little Angel Katie & her Family. Lots of Love & God Bless, Shelby & Family xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hello Bryan, Joanne and Little Bryan :-)

Glad you had such a good time at the Gala, it sounds magical! You are blessed to have such an amazing support place for cancer patients in your area. I wish they could extend out across the country with more T2B centers!
Bryan, thanks for letting me know about Ron Giles and Tom Garrett. I was THRILLED to meet Tommy yesterday, it was his 18th birthday and Ron had a gift for him that I was more than happy to drop off. Got to meet John,Tom's Dad, also...they are both an inspiration :-) It's great to hear how you are getting out there and educating everyone on the need to donate, keep up the great work! I will be sure to go and check out the website for new changes. I always have a few of your business cards in my truck, never know when you will need one! I've been thinking a lot lately about trying to organize a big 'donor' night with our school participating, but not sure how to go about it or get it going....could you give me some ideas on that?
Bryan is getting very big and looks like he is enjoying his new bike! I think of Katie often, she's always in my heart.
Take special care,

Dear Joanne, Bryan, Little Bryan and Angel Katie,
It's been a while since your family would have last seen me, so it's okay if you don't remember me, but I will never forget you guys... I volunteered at Hotel Dieu when the Oncology ward was still there, and I had the pleasure of meeting Katie on numerous Wednesdays while I sat with Erika to do crafts. Many times Katie would join, other times she would sit and watch Boobahs, but either way, her presence was always so enlightening. She is a sweet little girl, and between her and Erika, I became inspired to work in paediatric oncology. I am now in my second year of Nursing at the University of Windsor and my dream is to continue to work with kids, especially if they were all as sweet as Katie!
I think your advocacy for leukemia and bone marrow donation is truly inspiring and I look forward to hearing from your family again.

Hi guys. I was just thinking about you and thought I would drop you a line. It sounds like the even on the weekend was a huge success and what and honour. It just goes to show how many lives Angel Katie has touched and continues to touch. Shelby and I were looking at the pictures on the site and she is positive that the pictures are of her and not Katie. She is so strong willed, there is no convincing her otherwise. Hope to see you soon. Keep the faith, stay strong and God bless.

Thank you for the update on what's happening in your personal life and about the Katelyn Bedard Bone Marrow Assn.I wish we were in Windsor so we could attend and offer our help, we do pray for you and your family so that's our way of staying in touch and being close to you. Every night when we see the sun set here in Florida and it's a pink sky I say to Uncle Gary there's Katie looking over us, she is never far from our thoughts. We do have memories of her and I can't wait to read what others have to say about their memories as well, we look forward to that. Please know we think of you often and pray for healing for you both. Our love to you.

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.


MY CHRISTMAS ANGEL

Hi Everyone! Just read your latest update on December 14th. I am glad you had a good time at our BPPOA Christmas Party. I love having everyone there.
Bryan was a hoot! Two 2-year olds (Annie Hammond) and Bryan who have found their voices - what a riot! It seems like I absorb energy just watching little kids play.

I am thinking about your memory book and I will try to put something together from either just me, or maybe all of BPPOA. That would be nice I think.

Take care and see you soon! Love, Nancy L.

Hi Bryan, Joanne and little Bryan; I just read the poem sent to you from Brenda and thought how comforting it might be for you at this time, the poem cannot take Katie's place but at least we know she is safe in the arms of Jesus and being cared for in Heaven. Our thoughts are with you always but at this particular time of year we especially think of you and how you will be missing your little girl at Christmas. Enjoy little Bryan as this year he will certainly know about Santa and he'll bring joy to your heart. We love you guys and think about you often.Merry Christmas to you.

I know it's been like forever since I've visited you.
I have just been so busy.
But I think of you always.



My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees,
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like Heaven’s stars
Reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away that tear,
For I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs,
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music don’t compare,
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description,
To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away,
We really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift,
From the heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory,
Of my undying love.
After all “Love” is a gift,
More precious than pure gold,
It was always most important,
In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
As my heavenly father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings of love,
He has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas,
And wipe away that tear,
Remember, I’m spending Christmas,
With Jesus Christ this year.

Hello Just stopping in to say hello. I thought I would tell you my little Katie moment. We went into clinic last week and there was a GiveMarrow card on the parent board. I smiled just knowing the word is spreading fast! Our nurse then proceeded to tell me a bit about your story and her last comment was it is the least we can do(place the cards on the board!) That Little girl was simply amazing!I was able to say I know! Sending you all some hugs!

Darling Angel Katie B - Your memory is my keepsake - With which I'll never part - God has you in his keeping - I have you in my heart. Luv you muchly sweet guiding light- as ever Aunt Theresa.

Someone asked me why the feeling of attachment to this precious child - I prayed to little Jesus and his "mommy Mary"- THE LORD HAS ALLOWED IT".

I wanted to visit the cemetary to give Katie a little prayer. I hadn't been there yet but was told it was near the back - near the pond. Well, as I entered Victoria Gardens I headed that way and to my surprize was the biggest rainbow int the sky I had ever seen, (honestly)!
I didn't even have to look for her... the ducks were in the pond and the sun was shining thru this rainbow. It truly was the most beautiful, peaceful and quiet place I'd ever been. Amongst the pink balloons, halloween ribbons and flowers was a picture of the prettiest girl - whom obvioulsy touched many lives and made everyone smile all at the same time. Bryan & Joanne - you are are my thoughts and prayers.
