Jenna Marie Cucciniello
5/12/92 -2/2/07

Welcome to Jenna Marie's web page. In late April 05 Jenna complained of seeing double. She was diagnosed with a Pontine Glioma (inoperable brain stem tumor) on 5/5/05. We headed to St Jude Childrens Hospital where she received 31 rounds of radiation and a clincal trial chemo (Iressa). Her tumor remained stable for over a year. In the summer of 06 a second tumor started to grow in the left frontal horn. We changed chemos, and it stabilized for about 4 months. Jenna then started a brand new chemo but the secondary tumor continued to grow. In November 06 we stopped all chemo and started on a homeopathic therapy. Jenna earned her golden wings at 10:41 Friday morning February 2, 2007. She will be missed FOREVER!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN MY BEAUTIFUL BABY GIRL!

As I said last year I use to LOVE Halloween. No more. I dread the day! I remember when Jenna was younger, she would get home from school and couldn't wait to get her costume on! I would tell her "baby, it's not time, no one is out yet and you have to eat" She would wait by the window all dressed up until she saw the other children walking. "Mom! she would scream to me. "It's time" She would walk blocks and blocks with her brother dragging behind her. He never really liked it. I miss her. I can't believe this is the 2nd Halloween without her. I miss her more and more with each passing second.

I love Jenna! I love you so much that I can't breathe!
