Thank you so much for sharing Sarah's story with everyone. I have been following it for over a year now, You really do have a way with words.. "We have a lot of choices in our lives, but sometimes all we have is the choice of how to react to what life brings." thats a quote that I will always keep in mind.
Take Care!!!!!

Jennifer- I really enjoyed reading your letter, you have such a way with words, its amazing. I believe you are very strong and its so good that your in touch with your feelings, many people arent. I know what you mean about living being both happy and sad all the time, Im the same way since losing my Mom, its been almost 2 years for me and I broke down crying in bed last night (it just happens and probably always will). I will miss coming here and reading but I completely understand why you cant keep this up forever. You all will always be in my thoughts and I hope we can get together sometime or just talk on the phone someday when your feeling like it. Love to all of you!! Take care of each other.

Jennifer- Thank you for the update. It was heartfelt, painful and hopeful all at the same time. You are such a strong woman. I feel lucky to have known you during part of your journey with Sarah. This might sound crazy, but I already miss updates and new pictures. I have an understanding as to why you need to stop updating and I respect that decision...This might be harder for me to let go of, than for you! When I came to visit you I remember you speaking a little about how sick Sarah actually was and that for many, her death came as a surprise. The same is true for me and I have told you many times before, I didn't realize Sarah was a CWC at ROCK camp, I assumed she must be a sibling of a CWC. She was so full of life and happy. It is remarkable to me, I look at the pictures from ROCK camp all the time. I made a collage, so it is on the wall in my bedroom at home. It makes me smile to see her similing, to know she must have been in pain and knowing that she had been through more than most adults have been, but she was strong and so very, very brave--she simled through the pain. I love Sarah. I knew her for eight hours and I know I will love her for the rest of my life. I hope stopping this journal aides in your journey back to a 'normal' life, if such a thing is possible. Please know that I will keep you, Marco, Keith, Jenna and Sarah in my thoughts and prayers for as long as I am living. I hope you will stay in touch via e-mail when you get the chance too. I will hope to get to Florida to see you all some time in the near future. Sending you my love,

Jennifer-
I just wanted to write and let you know that I have been thinking about you and Marco and the kids a lot lately. I miss you guys. We had ice cream tonight (with my family) and I was telling them all about you guys again and how Jenna picked out the ice cream and all the good stuff to go with it...I was really wishing I had some of those fixings tonight! We always want what we don't have, don't we...
I hope you are all doing okay. I know you aren't updating as much anymore and that you plan to stop at some point, but I must confess that I check this site at least once every day, sometimes several times in a day. It makes me feel good to see the pictures of her. I love, love, love that chair they made for her, pink and purple, it's just wonderful. I didn't know Sarah very well, but I know she loves that chair! It is a chair fit for a princess!

Keith and Jenna-
Did you guys have a good Halloween? Did you eat lots of candy? Don't forget to share some with mom and dad!! What did you guys dress up as? I work in a day care center here in Connecticut three days a week and we had a huge party for Halloween and all the kids dressed up and all the grownups too, it was so much fun. I went as Tinkerbelle, I LOVE her! Some of the babies had the cutest costumes ever. One was dressed up like Tigger and another was a pumpkin. There was even a baby dressed up like Pumbaa from the lion king, that little boy was so cute! Anyway, I hope you guys had lots of fun. Can you give mom and dad a hug from me? I miss you all.
Love, Kyle

Dearest Jennifer and Family, I just want to say Hi and hope Jenna and Keith had a great Halloween! Auntie Jodi, Lil'Lexi and me went to the mall for her to go trick or trick and she started to cry and scream which she doesn't ever do, we rushed her to the Dr. office and she had ear infections and broncitis ? Know I did not spell that right ,but I think you know what I mean, anyway Uncle Kris got it and of course Grandma me (Mama) got it, what a deal. Ha Ha . The weather is getting colder everyday and rainy days. Yuk! I wish it would be 80 degrees all the time. Right!!! Please take care and let me know if you ever come this way. Love and Prayers Always, Jay

Just dropped by to say Hi and I'm thinking of you. I learned about your website from the yahoo support group. What a beautiful angel Sarah is. What a horrible journey we must go through. I'm here if you ever want to talk. It has only been 3 months for me but I think we all need to stick together. Hugs to you and your family.

Hello there Jennifer,
We just wanted to say hello and we hope you all have a great Halloween. Joey is going to his first "big" kid party... I am not sure I like the growing up thing so much.

Hi friend...thank you fo rcoming and taking the time to sign Hadley's guestbook. That was so very sweet of you...especially giving what a hard time you have to be having with Sarah's birthday. I will never understand why our beautiful children have to go through any of this. I actually honestly hope I never do. Again...thank you for checking in on Hadley...it was very kind of you! Hang in Mama and know that I'm 'here' if ya ever need anything. When Jen's Tori passed away I told her a million times...if ya need to yell, cry, laugh whatever...call me. I have no expecataions of you and you don't have to be strong for me! I think we raelly do all need to stick together and guide eachother down this path that CAN be very lonely.

With Love and HOPE

Keith and Jenna-
I just wanted to write and say hello. I was thinking about those ice cream sundaes we ate at your house when I came to visit. That was such a good idea Jenna, very, very yummy! I hope you both are enjoying school and having fun this year. Sarah's garden looks beautiful, you guys and your mom and dad did a wonderful job with it, Sarah would have loved it. Hopefully I will get to see you guys again next time I am in Florida. For now I am stuck in rainy, soon to be snowy (yuck), Connecticut... maybe I will just move in with you guys, at least it is nice and warm in Florida most of the time!
Have a wonderful week and tell mom and dad I said hello please.

Jennifer and family-
I was thinking about Sarah all day today. I have no idea why. It's ironic too since I only knew her for 8 hours and not very well, but I couldn't get her out of my head today. I was working in NYC at school and I just kept sneaking away to go find a computer and check on you guys. Of course the site never changed, but somehow it made me feel better just to see it here... i can't really explain that feeling.
I hope all is going well for you guys. Sarah's garden sounds wonderful, all the butterflies and it was very thoughtful of you to burry Pet with her, I think she would have really liked that. Listen to me! Like I need to tell you what your own child would like! Good grief!
Have you changed the rooms around in the house yet? I was wondering how Sarah's shelf was coming along in the new guest room. I hope all is well. Please give Marco, Keith and Jenna my love. I hope to see you again next time I fly to Florida (i think i need to start taking out loans so i can afford to volunteer!!!)
Anyway, love and prayers. I miss you guys

Dearest Jennifer and Family, I'm sorry I haven't written in a while, but I haven't been feeling well and I just get kinda slow at things. When I take Lily the puppy out at nite I always look up to all the stars and Sarahs is always shining so brightly, I know all my family in the heavens is watching over her closely for you. Jennifer I still say you are one in a million Mom,wife, and person. Please tell the kiddos Hi from Lil' Lexis Mama and Auntie Jo's Mommy, she still calls me Mommy after 35 years. She something else. HaHa. I love it. Please come visit, we always have room for you. Love and Prayers Jay

Dear Jennifer,
I just wanted to say hello and I can only imagine how you felt on Sarah's birthday. You have every right to be sad and think WHY?, I wonder that all the time.You will probably never know WHY?, but I guess just remembering that beautiful and oh so special little girl is a wonderful memory(but it's not the same). I didn't get to know Sarah like Taylor did but I see how much Taylor loved her as a friend and to this day still talks about her, and it makes Taylor happy. I have told you this before but Sarah touch my little girl in more ways that I even know.Sarah was a VERY special little girl and that we will never forget. I am glad the garden is doing so well. We had a bug problem so we had to dig the up those and get new ones.(I don't use bug killers). But that was fine with Taylor she likes getting new plants. I hope that you guys have a great week and take care.

I take this moment, close my eyes, and draw a deep breath filling me with all of her essence and spirit of the love that is her.

I completely understand your reasons for ending the website, its really alot to keep up with, and it has nothing to do with the memory of Sarah (that will remain in your heart), not too long ago we didnt even have internet (wonder how we all got by without it) I will be thinking of you on Sarah's Birthday, I really dont have the perfect words, but just wanted you to know we love you all!!

I haven't posted on Sarah's site for a long time, but I do want to now - especially since Jennifer may not continue to use it. It has been a wonderful way to keep us informed of Sarah's progress and then your family's struggles through the healing process.

It has been an honor and a pleasure knowing your family, and I will be thinking about you as you celebrate Sarah's life Tuesday.

As sad as we will be when this site is gone, we understand your needs come first. Thank you for sharing your Sarah with us. I walked Relay in Los Altos, unfortunately I didn't get to meet your sister (mabey next year). I cannot wait to see the pictures of your Garden. What a labor of love! Much love to you and your family.

I've been reading your site for several months, but I'm not sure if I've ever posted in the guestbook. I found Sarah's site through another CB webpage and was immediately smitten--my younger sister is also named Sarah, and has sworn since she was very little that "you're not a REAL Sarah unless your name has an H on the end." I don't doubt that your Sarah was a "real" Sarah and then some!
Like others have said, I would miss reading your page, but this website is for your benefit first and your "audience" second. Although I would miss reading, I would much rather go from here with the memories I have formed of your beautiful daughter than have you keep hurting yourself for anonymous readers' sakes. I often save pictures of Caringbridge kids and make desktop collages of them; my screensaver flashes random pictures from my collection, and it always makes me smile when the picture of Sarah with her pink-and-white face paint flashes across the screen. Regardless of your decision about your website, Sarah and your family will remain in my prayers. May God bless you all.

I've posted in your guestbook a couple of times, but I have been following the site for a long time. Whatever you choose to do, it is your decision, and my prayers will be with you one way or the other. I do want you to know that I for one don't get "tired" of hearing about how you're feeling. It helps me to know how to pray for you. But I totally understand why you might not want to continue it as well. Anyways, your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself.

The efforts you have made to keep the website updated have been wonderful for everyone reading it. It has served me as a reminder to "send good vibes" your way when I can. But this is not about everyone else reading the website, it's about you and your family. Makes sense that you want to use time saved here to spend with Marco, Keith and Jenna. We will all find other ways to not forget. Please know that I will be thinking of you guys long after this website goes away.

Jennifer, I think that the tree and plaque are beautiful and sad all at the same time. You have a wonderful group of people around who suport and love you. I have been having a hard time feeling at peace with the loss of yet another child. I miss Sarah and I don't need you to keep the site to do so. If it's not helping you, then it's just time to let it go and have your wonderful memories. Danny has'nt looked at web-site in some time. He just has his picture of Sarah in his wallet. He will still talk aboput her and bring her name up. If he can remember how special she was, so will everyone else. It was really good talking to you the other day. We let time go by to long. I am hoping to get to your house on Thursday. I will call you soon.
Love and rememberance for always, Cindy

I love the pictures and can imagine how hard it was to take the first day of school photo without Sarah. Taking pictures on the first day of school is a tradition in our house, too. Even though Matthew is still here, I know it is something that can't be taken for granted.

You are so, so often on my mind.

Jennifer-
It looks as though Cindy has beat me to the punch here! I tried so hard yesterday to make it to a computer but I just couldn't get to one...yesterday was my first day of graduate school, and as Cindy said I was in Florida for ROCK weekend again and just got back late Monday night and because I'm commuting to NYU my four hours of classes and my six hour round trip travel make Tuesdays (and Thursdays) an all day adventure just for two classes! Anyway, that's no excuse. I remember when I came to visit that you had asked when my birthday was and we were both excited to realize that we shared September 6th as a special day so I knew all day that I had to come wish you and Marco and happy anniversary but it just didn't happen... so HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, a day late, but better than never I suppose!
Anyway, I was really sorry to read your last update. When I first signed on and saw the picture of just Jenna and Sarah I was wondering why you had a picture that didn't include Keith; however, your entry made it clear that the picture you selected was just what you all needed to see, the love between two sisters, two best friends. My heart is breaking to know that Jenna's heart is broken.
This past weekend I was able to attend the funeral of Danny's friend David. I had met David only once and for only about five minutes but he made such a huge impact on me in just those five minutes that I can't even imagine the pain those people who were able to talk to him, hear him laugh, see his eyes sparkle and see that smile I've only seen in pictures must feel. To know that someone can change your life forever in just a few short minutes, imagine what they can do in their lifetime, no matter how short, to those lucky enough to be with them.
I think I mentioned that to you too when you were showing me some pictures of Sarah; how much it hurt me to know that she was gone and to realize that I only knew her for one day and my heart was breaking, I couldn't imagine how you and your family were feeling having had her for so many years.
David's funeral gave me a small piece of the broken heart I hear so many childless mothers talking about. While I of course, have no real concept of the pain you and your family are going through, this was my first funeral for a child and it was really very hard for me to process what David's family must be going through. Through all my training, through meeting with families after they have lost their child and getting to know families like Dannys' I thought I knew what I was getting myself in to, but I just didn't and Sunday I learned just how hard this is and I'm just an 'outsider.'
I have talked before about how strong I think you and your family are and about how amazing it was to spend time with you and your children, to see first hand what a remarkable family you have; this Sunday, I think I finally realized just how strong you all must be.
I suppose for me, this was a good experience, though as I told Cindy, it is one I would like, more than anything, to never have to experience again in my lifetime. But, I feel like David's family and friends have opened my eyes and my heart a little bit more, they allowed me to see inside this world that no family should have to see. And while I only experienced a minute section of that world I think it will forever change the way I approach my practice and my client base.
Since I met with you and your family and I heard a little more about Hospice and how they help families I have been considering specializing in peds Hospice as a Music Therapist. I think, having following David's journey and having learned so much about the program from you and Marco, that it is wonderful and that I might be able to do some good there. I told my professors yesterday that I would like my specialization to be in peds oncology and peds Hospice; they support my decision and I'm so fortunate to have that support.
Anyway, I've been going on and on here for a little while, I just wanted to say thank you, I guess, though that doesn't seem like enough... it is through your family that my eyes were first opened to peds Hospice and I think I can make a difference, at least I hope I can.
Please give my love to Marco and Keith and espically to Jenna. This might not help, but I remember you telling me that Sarah used to love singing a Jonny Denver song (did I get that right?), maybe Jenna would like to learn and sing that song? Maybe doing something that Sarah loved, but not something that Sarah used to do with Jenna, would help her. Maybe something like that would make her remember Sarah and remember how much she loved her without bringing her down too much. Have her eat some cantalope or set the places at the table with the names or play musical chairs when you are out to dinner somewhere...maybe doing those things because they remind her of the love Sarah had and the passion that you all have as a family would help Jenna to focus on that love and passion and not so much on how she misses having Sarah with her. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here...I guess what I mean is to try and keep Sarah there, with you, even though that may not be the case. Maybe none of this will help, but I just thought it might so there it is...
Anyway, please know that I'm thinking about you and praying for your family. My grandmother says to say hi, she was really impressed with you guys, she is always asking me about you and wondering how you are doing. Sending my love.
Love, Kyle <gundyKL128@hotmail.com>

Jennifer, Looking at the pictures of Sarah and Jenna has brought tears to my eyes. I'm so saddend for the loss of a sisters love to her young life. It really isn't fair and I just don't understand why this is such a reality to so many people. I'm also glad that Jenna has such a wonderful Mother to share her pain, fears, and sorrow. I know that you can pull eachother thru. Keith looks so grown up. It's hard to believe that time has gone by so fast. I hope that you and Marco did something special for your anniversary, I don't mean cry together. I hope that we talk soon, I miss you. Kyle was just here this past weekend, it was Famlies ROCK weekend already. She sends her love. As do I.

Jen, I have been thinking of you. I have been thinking of Sarah alot lately. Danny asked me if Sarah would help David to get settled into Heaven. I told him that I was sure she would. How are Keith and Jenna doing? How's Marco? Give me a call when you get a chance. We already bought a house and we are getting iot ready to move into. I am trying to be excited about it but it's been really hard.

Hi Jennifer, Marco, Keith and Jenna

Your vacation looks like fun. I feel bad that I have not written in your guestbook in so long. It's amazing how fast time flys. I saw Jodi, Kris and Alexis yesterday. We had lunch with them and then we went to the mall and the kids rode the Merry Go Round. Well I have to go. My son is missing one of his Thomas the Tank Engines (D199 is the name of the train - Ezra wanted you to know which train). I just hope we can find it, so we can all go to bed. Have a wonderful week and know that we think of you often.

Love, Julie

Dearest Jennifer, Jodi was over yesterday and updated me on the website. Jennifer I'm very proud of you and the strengh God has given you. I cry when Jodi and me talk about it and when I read the website. You are the quite a woman,mother and wife. Please always stay with strengh, courage and the love you have. I know Sarah is always with you and watching over you and with her beautiful smile and telling all the angels, Hey "this is my mommy" she is so proud as we all are. Keep all the Happy Thoughts it really works wonders. Please take care and will write soon. Keep the pictures coming! Love and Prayers Always Jay

Dear Jennifer,
Your entry was great, I always love hearing that you are healing I know that will be a life long process. Yesterday was the 14 Year anniversary of my daddy passing away, so I totally understand. You can heal and live your life but the hurt and sadness never go away. I miss him so much and I just think about all the good memories and that makes the hurt not so bad. She is and always will be a beautiful little girl.Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your love with all of us.The pictures of your vacation are beautiful... the kids seem to be doing good and that is important. I hope they are liking school.Taylor is happy to be back at school and so is Joey. This is his last year at Lewis Carroll and I am having a hard time thinking about next year and "letting go". I still have 3 more years with Taylor "thank god"! Well take care of yourself and the family.
love and Prayers

Jen, I know it's been a while since I last signed your guestbook, but I still check up on you. I miss Sarah too. You know she is still all around you. She's the wind on a still morning, or that butterfly out of nowhere. That's what Danny said last week at the park. Just out of the blue this butterfly was fluttering around us and Danny said look mom, there's Sarah. I don't know why he thought of her, he just did. I wonder what goes thru his mind. He's only six, but it seems he's lived a lifetime. He said that because the butterfly came out of nowhere and just hung aroung us at the picnic tables. Guess what we were having at our picnic, one of Danny's favorites-cantelope. We love you and still think of ya'll often. Love, Cindy

Jennifer-

You don't know me, and I don't really know you. However, through a group I am a member of, I heard of your daughter's battle. I followed her fight for many months, and was deeply saddened to learn of her death. For more reasons than I can say, I haven't written until now. Though I will not even pretend to know the terrible pain that you are going through, I will say that I have known deep grief. You are right to say there is no way around it except to go TRHOUGH it. You and your beautiful family will be in my prayers during this tough time.
Kevin
Fort Worth, TX USA - Monday, August 22, 2005 8:31 PM CDT

Jennifer-
I can't think of much to say to make you feel better, that you haven't already thought of yourself. So, in light of that, I'm just going to tell you that I love you and I know how strong you are; so, even if you think you can't make it another day or even just another minute of that day, please remember that I know you can (and I suspect there are many others out there who know you can as well)!

My friend Patricia, who will be celebrating her 6th year cancer FREE on October 7th, says that sometimes she wakes up and the 'window' of her mind is covered with mud so thick she literally can't see out of it. At that point she decides how hard she wishes to work to get that mud off her window. And though there will be days when the rain will pour and the window will cloud again, each time she is building a muscle memory; a pathway through the mud so that each time it is easier and easier to clear the window and start (or finish) the day, one step at a time...

I love quotes since they often say what I want to say but am unable to put into words. I came across a quote a long time ago and spent quite a bit of time trying to locate it just now! In this case, I think this qoute was written specifically with you in mind... "True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost." -Arthur Ashe

'Hero' is a funny word, espically in America where we tend to reserve it for fighter fighters and police officers; people who visiblly put their lives on the line each day. I define a 'hero' differently. You are a hero Jennifer. You put your life on the line for Marco, Keith, Jenna and for Sarah's memory each and every day you wake up and take that first baby step. You have proved this by knowing when you're grieving and being able to set aside time to be with those feelings, to deal with those days that get you down and still continue to move through the darkness and get out of bed each day to continue taking those baby steps. Regardless of how you feel, or what might be running through your mind, you are always there for Keith and Jenna; and that makes you a wonderful role model and a hero in the eyes of all who know you.
I guess I had more to say than I thought I did! :)
Love and prayers to all,
Kyle <gundyKL128@hotmail.com>

Dear Jennifer,
I know you are having a difficult day and I want you to know that I am thinking of you. The "six months" part hadn't occurred to me, but over the weekend I was thinking about Sarah's approaching birthday. Keep working on the baby steps, and don't torture yourself on what you didn't do. You did your best then, as you are continuing to do your best now, and we are all very proud of you!
With love,
Carrie and family

Dearest Jennifer and Family. Just a line to let you know I'm thinking of you all and very jeolous of your trip. It looks like sooo much fun. I had shoulder surgery about a month ago and I'm suppose to take it easy for 2 months, yeah right. I'm not the type to sit around. Ask "Lil" Lexi she just loves her MaMa. She calls Jodi Mommy and me MaMa its so wonderful she loves me that much. She is such a good baby. I still hope you all can make a trip to Ca and like I said you have place to stay. Tell all Hi and please take care. Love and Prayers Jay

I hope Keith and Jenna enjoy school this year. Ashley and Cassandra started on Aug. 8th, really early this year, they both seem to like their new schools, especially Ashley in Jr. High.

Hi Jennifer,
I just wanted to let you know that I missed you when you were away, and I'm glad you're back! The new pics are beautiful. Even though we already talked about your trip, seeing it in writing is just as difficult. It seems that those "firsts" without Sarah will never end, and I'm sorry for that. Again, I'm always so impressed with how open & brave you are in sharing your emotions. You are an inspiration to so many people (me included!)....thanks.

Jennifer and family-
Hey! I'm so glad you had such a good trip. The pictures are beautiful, did Jenna ever manage to get that horse to stop eating and start moving!! I have a card for you all but I didn't want to mail it while you were away so I'll get it out in the next couple of days. I can't get over how much Sarah looks like Jenna in that picture you have of her on the main webpage. She looks older there then she did when I met her...
When I visisted, I mentioned a little boy I'd been following (fl/jacob), if you haven't been to his site, he is really struggling now. The chemo I told you he was on didn't work and they are now trying another one that has really taken its toll on Jacob (and his three brothers, his mom and dad). I think, having faced somewhat similar situations with Sarah and your own family, that you might be just the right person to pray for Jacob and his healing and freedom from his cancer...
With love to all,
Kyle

Jennifer and Family,
Hope you had a great start back at school. Keith has started Jr. High what a intense school year for kids. I know both of my older children went through those years of uncertainty and where do I fit in. A very awkard time for both of you. My Daughteris finished with colledge for a year now and Shaun this is his 2nd year. Boys are harder he still needs mom and Shannon has always been very independent. So if you need any advise I've been there done that!!! and it all works out in the end.I'm glad I got to see you at the pool this summer.Racheal had fun with Jena and thinks she's real nice. As always we keep your family and Sarah in are thoughts. Debbie Mayer and Family.

Pochy Family,
It's good to hear the healing process is taken affect in your life today. I'd like to share with you some words, that help me deal with the many changes that have occure in my life today.
Imagine looking through a kaleidoscope, spotting a most beautiful pattern and then becoming deeply upset because it has gone, and you may never see it again. You have to be in the moment. You have to enjoy what's before you while it is there and trust that what's coming up next, though it may be different, will be of equal value and beauty. Something is moving on in your world now. Something else is getting ready to arrive. Embrace it.
Time is your friend, not your enemy.
Always thinking about you all,

I'm glad to here that you are smiling again!Those two kids are very precious and with there love you will get though!I can understand why you haven't been in the garen, do you think it can get any hotter? I always think about Sarah, Taylor has one wall of her room that is the "Sarah Wall", she says she will never take it down. It's so wierd that a young child can make such a big impact on the world and that is what Miss Sarah did. She will always be in our hearts and forever in our minds.Well only 2-ish more weeks till school, I wish the summer was longer, I love being with Joey and Taylor ( they grow up too fast).Well Jennifer take care and enjoy the rest of the summer.

Hello family,
I always like seeing what pictures you post on Sarah's website. Keith and jenna are changing so much! I can understand the slow down and healing steps that are taking place as time passes.
Bittersweet, are the memories and feelings that first come to me when I see pictures of Sarah. Who she is and how she lives on in so many peoples hearts keeps the sadness in a kind of balance. There is no way to be done or overwith everything and the healing will be a lifelong process. I am in such admiration and respect to you all on the continuing courage and strength you find within yourselves and bring out in each other. I believe Sarah's gifts keep on openning and reopenning our lives almost every day, hour, or minute, in some way or another, conscious or in our subconscious and can always bring positve thoughts and inspiration in those times. I miss her, and I miss all of you and look to seeing the garden in person soon. I was on a weekend trip in Point Reyes and was sitting down in a green pasture just breathing in the beauty, when a small colorful butterfy landed right in front of me and sat there for a long time. I could reach out and touch it. I called out to her, Sarah... It made me smile and left me feeling very blessed. Thank you Sarah...
Love and Light,
Auntie carol

Im happy to hear that Keith and Jenna are doing so well, I think kids are very good at bouncing back, not that they dont miss Sarah alot, just they are so young, maybe they take it all in differently, not sure.

I hope we can get to see you sometime over the summer on our travels. Your days seem hard to deal with at times in your journal. I only hope that someday peace will come over you and you can enjoy life again. Although it will never been the same without Sarah by your side but she will always be there in your heart and on your mind. Take care Debbie Mayer

Should have told you this when I wrote yesterday but didn't think of it... I am going to be in Florida for almost a week before I go volunteer at Camp Boggy Creek. I will be there early afternoon on July 13th and am leaving for camp the morning of July 19th. I would love to come take Keith and Jenna out for ice cream or take them swimming or to the park or something. I don't know how close you all are to Danny and Amanda's house but I could take them all together too. Just let me know if that is something you might be interested in. If you would like my cell phone number please just e-mail and I will leave it for you there, I don't feel comfortable posting it on the computer!
Love to all.

Dear Jennifer and Family,
Just thought I would say hello and we all hope you are having a good summer. Taylor was just talking about Sarah when we were outside exploring frogs.She was talking about a story that Sarah wrote about Strawberry Shortcake and that made Taylor want to write one about frogs in her journal. Even though it has been several months Taylor still talks about Sarah, she has really touched Taylor's life, as she has with everyone! Take care and as always...
Love and Prayers

Hi! We have been raising a few catipillars that Wendy Orona gave us and today, one of them hatched from its cocoon. It was a really a beautiful monarch and iy reminded me of Sarah. So that's what I named it. It feels good to know that the real Sarah is flying free just like the butterfly.

Hello All!

I think of you so often. And I know that I have been horrible about keeping in touch. Even though my life is consumed with cancer these days and all that comes along with it, there is NEVER a day that I don't think about you, your precious Sarah, your loss, and how I wish I could make things better for you. Please know how much I care and worry about each of you. I know there is no way to make a terrible situation positive but I hope you realize that you have helped others learn how to cope with this terrible disease.
It's been too long... hope to see you soon.

Hey There Jennifer~ The yearbook page is so special, the photo with the lizard is one of my favorites and I still have it saved on my computer. Your "I miss" entry made me cry...I did that same sort of thing about my dad. {you remember my dad...you'd be surprised how long my list actually turned out!:) }
Okay, now about turning the bad things into �magnificent gifts� by considering them in a constructive perspective...nope I sure havent!! Quit reading those HORRORscopes...turn to the comics, they don't involve any major thought and won't stress you out or keep you up at night! Okay, seriously, I'm thinking about you always and hope that each days finds some little way to bring a smile to you face.
Love Ya,
Mona

Hi Jennifer:

The year book is a wonderful tribute to Sarah. What a proud and bittersweet moment that must have been to see it for the first time.

I think of you, Sarah and your family often. How are you? Really? Sarah touched so many lives.

My thoughts and prayers are always with you.

Montpelier, VA - Friday, June 3, 2005 4:01 PM CDT

Jennifer- I went out for a 10 mile run on Monday and had butterflies with me for most of the run. I usually run on main roads but decided to take the back roads this time and found it to be quite peaceful; no cars and lots of butterflies. It was nice.
I put together a collage of pictures (finally!) from ROCK camp and put the prayer card you sent up of Sarah in there and hung the whole thing up on my wall. My mom says I need to stop volunteering because I'm running out of walls to hang pictures of my campers on; I told her to build me a bigger room!
I will be in Florida in mid-July. I'm going to try my best to see Danny and Amanda while I'm there. I'd love to come and treat Jenna and Keith to ice cream or something. I know they don't really know me but it would be great to do something nice for them. I will have to keep you posted on my plans and maybe we could work something out...
I hope this finds you well. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. With love, -Kyle

Dear Jennifer,
I just wanted to say hello and we all hope you guys are having a good summer so far. Our butterfly garden is going crazy, if you need milkweed seeds I have a ton, I can send them to you. My mom said that she saw you a couple of days before school got out, to tell you the truth I was nervous when she said that she saw you (The Dream). I just felt so bad, but now I feel that even though I had this dream and God knows you should have,it was so beautiful to see your beautiful little girl. Well I hope that you and Marco and the kids have a great summer and I am so glad that they had the page for Sarah, it was so Special, just like her. Take Care

Sorry you haven't heard from me in awhile. I opened up Sarah's website yesterday for the first time, in a long time. It has taken me awhile to process Sarah being gone. I haven't forgotton about you guys. I recently loss somebody dear to me and coping with that has put me in whirlspin. I read your words "I miss Sarah" It again made me very sad.
I keep a small altar in my room, and light a candle for little Sarah every chance I get.
Love you guys,

Jennifer,
Thinking of you and Sarah-Marco, Jenna and Keith.
Your journals always make me cry, but I guess that's okay.
I miss Sarah dancing. And eating snacks in the morning(granola bars and pasta). I miss her cute drawings. And her funny stories of the family. I miss her following me around the classroom("my little duckling" I called her).
I miss looking for butterflies and caterpillars with her.
I miss her hugs.
But I miss seeing her with you the most.
I like the pictures of the garden.

Dear Jennifer,
I haven't written in awhile because I find it so hard for me to. I am going to tell you this and I hope you don't get upset. Remember when you said that you couldn't dream about Sarah, well right before you wrote that entry I had a dream about Sarah. It was so really I woke up crying.This is the dream: I had taken Taylor and Joey to a beautiful open field and we were looking for Butterflies, they were all over and all the sudden the kids ran off to chase one and I was just watching them, and then Sarah came skipping up to me. I just looked at her and started to cry, I didn't know what else to do and she said to me, Taylor's mommy please don't cry I am okay, I am too busy playing and laughing, I am okay I promise! I just stood there not believing my eyes, she looked so happy and beautiful, I just smiled and said we missed her and loved her, and she just said I know, I see you all.And then she just turned around and skipped away singing. I woke up in tears, not knowing what to do I told my mom about it and she just started to cry. I just wish that you had that dream, I know how important it would be to you! I feel like saying that I am sorry but if you would had seen the smile on her face,it was SO beautiful!I wanted to tell you this in person but I don't think I could have, Jennifer it was so real. I know that you miss her so much and I wish there was something I could do but I don't know what that could be. So again if there is anything I can do please ask. We are always thinking about you and the family. Take care!
Love and Prayers

Jennifer,
Just read you entry and tears welded up in my eyes. This week Racheal has been in trouble at home and I realy was fed up with her. Although after reading your entry I realized what things I would miss about her and come to realize that what she did was no longer a bill deal and I can't wait to see her today after school. I think with all the testing this week she probly just had enough and is ready to be a kid again and just play and explore.Funny how Sarah has left a impact on all us mothers and you sharing your feeling about her has made all of us take another look at life. No matter where the journey of life takes us we all will remember the little girl with the big beautiful smile who left us with so many life lesssons. Take care Debbie Mayer

Jennifer- I've been thinking about Sarah a lot lately so it's ironic to me that you put up that list of things you miss about Sarah when I was, just last night, thinking about something I miss about Sarah. While I never experienced this with Sarah personally, I remember you saying in a journal how she used to move from chair to chair at the dinner table until she had everyone just where she wanted them... my youngest brother is now 18 and last night my family and I went out to dinner to celebrate his completing his first year of college. Each of us sat down and then each of us was shifted from seat to seat to yet another seat until he had arranged us all as he pleased. I just had to smile and laugh...funny how that little piece of Sarah got in to my brother yesterday. It made me feel good. I don't know if I've expressed that well or not but it was as if she just checked in to say hello... I hope this finds you well. I am thinking of you and your family always. With love,

You express your feelings so well about how much you miss Sarah......I was touched by reading it.

I just got home from work and thought about you guys, so here I am. I can really feel your words about Sarah. I read each line and can draw a picture in my mind...Even though I am here on the west coast I am brought right into the memories and moments you shared with Sarah. Thank you for your courage and vulnerability in letting all of us know and remember how wonderful and amazing she was and continues to be. A small, slight smile spreads across my face mixed with the sadness and loss of her magical light that brighten up anyone or anything blessed by her being. A true and precious gift, of love, that is Sarah. I love you Sarah...

Dearest Jennifer, Today I read your new entry, It makes me think of the losses in my life, I'm 58 years old and still ask questions why???. Jodi says I get depress very easy, its hard to explain. I lost my mom at 5yr, dad at 19yrs and then in 1990 I lost my only brother, he always told me he would take my dads place, I was so extremely close to my dad. Then Johnny my brother who I adore dies on me. So I know its not losing one of my children and they say its the hardest!!! Jennifer I hold on so tight to my girls and grandkids, sometimes I think I suffocate them with love. But there all I have in this world. I think of my parents and brother all the time and cherish the memories of them. I don't remember anything about my mom, but often wonder what she was like and if I'm like her. I know one thing I love all people and you always have a special place in my heart, Sarah was so beautiful, I will always think of her here swimming and taking care of her. Beautiful memories are my peace. Please take care and say Hi to the kiddos and Marco. Love and Prayers Jay

My son, Neil, is in Keith's scout troop now, and I hope he is able to be with Keith during summer camp... He is really enjoying that group of guys. And I happen to know he is carrying a small torch for Jenna - shhh! I'm not supposed to know.

Jennifer-
The new pictures of the butterfly garden and Keith and Jenna are beautiful, it looks really peaceful there. It sounds like the camp for Keith and Jenna was a lot of fun, I bet it is good for them to meet other kids going through similar situations. As usual, I have laughed, cried and pondered life in general and the ever popular 'why...' questions after reading your journal entry... you amaze me Jennifer, you really do.
On a side note, I have finally been successfull...to be mailed tomorrow are 16 absolutely beautiful pictures of Sarah and her friends from ROCK camp and 2 random pictures of myself with Danny so that you can see who I am, though I don't expect you to remember me :) There is a series of pictures of Sarah dancing with some friends, just to help you out...the girl in the pink striped shirt is Sophia, the girl in the blue and green stripes is Sarah H. and Elizabeth is in all yellow. I hope you like the pictures, I know it may be hard to see them at first, but Sarah had so much fun that day. We had Mickle the Pickle (clown) twice [those are the group shots], Sarah was line leader to theatre, we had art and music and we danced and sang and laughed and played...everything a kid could ever want to do, we did and I know she enjoyed herself. I am so glad that Sarah was a part of my life, if only for a day, it was a day well spent.
With love,

Hi from Colorado!
I still read your journal to see how you all are doing. It's very sincere and I like that. Hope you guys are doing well. It's been many years, but I started going to church recently to get my 2 boys some "religious education". While they are off doing the Sunday School thing I attend the normal services and have used that time to think about your family (instead of trying to actually sing....I'd scare everyone away if I did that....). Anyhow, you have a friend in Colorado that continues to think of you guys. See ya! -Bryan

Hello Family,
Jennifer, reading your journal entries makes me miss the conversations we use to have on the phone. We would talk about everything and nothing and never run out of something to say. I look forward to that time again... I know it will be when it will be. I would like to see some of Jenna's paintings. Maybe she could paint me a picture and I could frame it and hang it in my home?
Keith and Jenna sound like complete opposites! Must keep life interesting and amusing for you and Marco, and probably for each of them as well.
I am glad to hear your "Blah,Blah,Blah,"rambling, because its like really being there with you in your daily life's schdule and carring on a conversation with you.
I Like the story behind Sarah's school picture. You guys always put her best interest first. And you knew her so well. I miss her...She is smiling all around my home. :)
I miss you all and send my love.

We love to go bike riding. Usually we take a ride to bagle world and eat breakfast so all the calories I burned while biking I gained back eating. Anyways are family has a great time together doing it. We love Sarahs school picture.always a beautiful smile. Thinking about breakfast I called Melisa today we are trying to get a group of moms that might want to take time out and go to breakfast this Monday morning May 16th. If you think you can make it tell Melissa or call me 453-6473. I figure its the last call before kids are home for the summer.just wanted to let you know you were in our thoughts this mothers day as well as most other days.Hope to her from you Debbie and family

Hey Jennifer~I was thinking about you on Mother's day....remembering back to when you first got married and Marco said he wanted 10 children and you said (something like) how about 1 !! Then I remember that when you had Keith, you totally changed your mind (not about the 10...just more than 1!!). I've always been impressed with what an amazing mom you have become...who'd have thunk it! :) I loved the rambelings of your last entry, I found so many passages that made me think "that's so Jennifer!", I love that about you. It made me see that you are still hanging in there, and doing okay (not great, but okay). It will sneak up on you, but sometime soon, you will be doing "good", then someday, you will get back to "great" (Keith and Jenna will make sure of that). Look, it's catching...now I've begun to ramble! I hope you have a good day today and find many reasons to smile. :)
Love Ya~ Mona

Jennifer, I love the picture of Sarah. I love all the pictures of Sarah. I wish there was something comforting to say to you.But, nothing I say will change anything. Just know that there are people that care for you. I did want to thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns with all of us. I can make a promise to you. I will never forget Sarah. Her memory,for me,will forever be in my thoughts. Danny still talks about Sarah. He even told his classmates that "I have a wonderful friend in Heaven,her name is Sarah". He took out his picture of Sarah and showed his whole class. I cried because it was so touching. I know that Danny will always remember her. I hope that the time this summer with Keith and Jenna will be helpful and somewhat healing. I am ready for school to be over too. Danny has been crying and throwing fits. He said that school is over for him. I have also used the "police will arrest mommy for not sending you to school. I will pray for you guys. I also dont want to forget Marco. We have been thinking about all of you. Love, Cindy---Danny says hello!!

Wanted to just say you are on my mind and I visit often. As I mentioned earlier, I am the Captain of a Relay for Life team and will be offering a luminaria in Sarah's name. Our Relay is 11-12 Jun.
If you would like it to say something special..just email me with the words and I will get it done. If not, it will say..."You will never be forgotten".

Know that you and your family are in my heart.

Dear Pochy family-
My son Ian was in Miss Deedra's class with Sarah at Grace. Last night after school we came home and looked at the class picture. They are side by side grinning. I always will remember her as this beautiful dark haired little girl walking down the sidewalk at Grace. That's how Ian remembers her too.
We have friends at Lewis Carroll and heard Sarah's story. I couldn't bear to visit the website until now. (At the same time I was in my own struggle with surgery, chemo and radiation.) I cried all the way home from work yesterday and I'm teary now. I didn't know what to say really, I just wanted you to know that many people cared and were thinking of Sarah even those of us you may not even remember.
Reading your journal entries I can totally understand what runs through your head. Know that she is peaceful now and that you did your best to be with her as long as possible. I am proud of your strength. She will always be in our hearts.

I just passed the one year anniversary of my mother's death, so I've been in "grief land" myself. It is a horrible place to be. Losing a mother is horrible, but I can only imagine the pain of losing a child.

God bless you and the rest of your family.

Dear Jennifer,
I heard there was a butterfly in the classroom that you helped catch and release. The children have learned so much this year and I am so proud of you for continuing a presence in Mrs. Lampkins classroom for the children to hug. I agree with "Diane" who wrote a few days ago that you should publish all your entries into a book. I know many people who read your postings on a regular basis, and are just too shy to write back. Your words are inspirational to many including myself. Hope to see you at the Relay for Life.

Dear Jennifer,
Just thought that I would say hello and wish you a great weekend. It is so hard to believe it has been 2 months. I did a little crying thinking about her and you, but at the end I went outside to our butterfly garden and guess what was there, a beautiful monarch, and then I smiled.It is the little things that help you get through. Me with my dad it is cardnials,he loved them. When I am having a bad day, or something I always see one, it's my little connection with my dad, and it makes me smile. What ever it takes, that is what I say...Everybody is different.

Dear Jennifer,
I have been reading your journal entries for quite some time but never wrote to you before. Once I started to read them, I couldn't stop. I am truly sorry for your loss of Sarah. Such a beautiful child. Every time I read your journal and the guestbook entries I think that you should make this into a book one day and you could donate the proceeds to cancer research. Your gift of sharing your heartfelt and innermost feelings is amazing. I'm sure that this would help others that are experiencing what you and your family have gone through and to help them realize that it's okay and most likely beneficial to express their feelings as you have done. Even though we have never met, somehow I feel as if I know you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Peace to you and your family.

Jennifer and family,
Kayte, Robyn and I all worked on Sarah's butterfly garden on Saturday and there were lots of people there and they just kept bringing plants after plants. It really was a special time for us to spend together. Robyn talks about Sarah alot and has a lot of questions. She really thinks Sarah was "cool". Anyways, Robyn said she went out to the butterfly garden on Monday and there were two butterflies there. How neat. I hope you are all doing okay and know that we are all thinking of you daily and pray for your peace.

Lil' Lexi was so sad in daycare and would not eat and no smiles, so Jodi quit after her second day and Lil' Lexi is back to normal. Life is so precious and I told Jo she had to do what her heart felt and that was to be home with her baby. Yesterday I found a monarch butterday on our porch so beautiful. When I go out at nite I always see Lil' Sarah star and say Hi, its so beautiful and bright. Please take care and I think of you all everyday. Love and Prayers -Jay

just checking in on you today - i am filled with emotion after reading your most recent entry - and seeing the most recent pictures - the children together - and the vacation pictures - how painful is sarah's physical absence - but how wonderful that she will continue to exist in the hearts and minds and memories of all of you - and i was thinking - in that intangible space around you - as you posed infront of the tree for a family photo - if sarah was still somehow there - no longer able to be seen with the eyes - only felt with the heart? - thinking of you and praying you will find peace.

Hi Jennifer,
I just read your latest update (as I check every few weeks) and cried, of course. I have Sarah's memorial card on the refrigerator and every dayI look and say, "I can't believe it!". It makes think of you daily and pray that you and your family find strength to get through the difficult days. I cry becaus it makes me ask myself if I'm being the best mom I can be to Nicole and James. I better try to do my best because we don't get a second chance and time goes so fast. Get and give all the hugs you can from Jenna and Keith - just take all the love in and let it heal! Journaling is very theraputic;keep up the good work. Sincerely, Nancy Waterhouse

Hi Jennifer,
I have been thinking about you and your family a lot. I can feel the hurt - still so raw - in your new message. No surprise really. Makes me think about all the mothers whose hearts have been so cruelly broken by the loss of a child. I doubt if there is any greater pain in the world than that. It's good that you are letting the feelings out. You made me think about the love of our babies...I often miss that, too. After all, my babies are now big, hairy grown men...ages 31 and 33. There is nothing like that bond. I guess it's the closest that we humans ever get to true unconditional love. My faith teaches me that God ALWAYS loves me unconditionally...sure is hard to believe sometimes. I wonder how it is that He can love us so much - because I know how flawed I am and I think I even know a few who are worse than me! Anyway, I know one thing for sure - true love is eternal - it endures all things - it lasts forever! Our life in this world is so temporary...I get so busy in the day to day doings of this life that I forget that. But, when I think about Sara, I remember just how short this life can be. The good thing about it is that then I remember that there is a Forever - in heaven. Sara will be there with you - there will be eternity for you with your three - together forever. God bless you and keep you in His tender care.

Your words are so touching and true! It's okay to be strong but you do need to breakdown, keeping it inside just makes it harder to me.The pictures are missing something but they are beautiful.

Jennifer-
Cancer kids are smart, far more intelligent about adult topics than any child should ever be...I think Sarah knew that you didn't want her to go and that you would all have a hard time living without her. Did you ever think that it was Sarah who helped you to be strong? Maybe you thought you were being strong for Sarah but perhaps Sarah was helping you to be strong for Keith and Jenna, and you did mention the special friendship that Sarah and Jenna had.
We all struggle with decisions we have made, regardless of the circumstances. I think each of us questions these things, particularily when the time has come where those decisions can no longer be altered. I am not a mother yet, but I only hope, if God should choose to one day put me in your shoes, that I would have the strength and courage to do as you have done. And I'm not just talking about the decisions you made concerning Sarah, I'm talking about how openly and honestly you discuss your feelings, fears, frustrations and even your anger in your journal entries. I am talking about how you have the strength to go on vacation and to take this 'year of firsts' and try to make the best of it. There is a quote, I believe it is from 'Hook' and said by Tinkerbell..."You know the place between sleeping and being awake where you can still remember dreams? That is where I'll always love you." So Jennifer, just because you can't see Sarah in the beautiful pictures from your vacation doesn't mean she wasn't there with you, because Sarah will always be with each of you.
You are in my prayers and I think of you always...
With love, Kyle

Jennifer, Marco, Keith, and Jenna,
I liked the pictures from your trip. That waterfall must have been awesome. And how about that tree. I did not know there were trees that big there!!!
I had to laugh about Marco running to get in the picture. I imagine it was difficult with all those roots.
Keith you know if you need homes for toads the Lampkins clan is always up for pets.
Jenna we want to invite you to another indian maiden event. We will let you know if you'd like to go.
Also while Mom is away with Keith you are welcome to walk home after school on day and jump on the trampoline and play with us. I really mean that Jennifer. Please tell Marco.
Jennifer I'm amazed by how you express yourself on the journal pages. Please don't regret how you were strong at the end. I think it was for the best.
My heart is broken over the loss of such a kind, caring, beautiful girl. I miss her visits. I miss her in the classroom. The kids in class do talk about her a lot. It is fond memories that they share. We will clean up our butterfly garden at school on the 16th of this month in memory of our friend, Sarah. The support and donations from Sarah's class families touches me.
I'm so sorry we have all been so busy that we have not been able to talk.
I hope to see you soon.
I know you are busy but please stop by when you can. Even just for a few minutes.
Your friend always

Dear Jennifer, thank you so much for your update. It's funny how I thought I would check and see how things were going and I see that you just updated the page this morning. I need to thank you for your honesty and sincerity. It really tugged at my heart strings when you said that you hated that you had to be strong for Sarah and you felt it was your duty as a mother to do this. I wonder, too, if it wouldn't have been so bad if you DID tell Sarah that you didn't want to live without her and you DID tell her how you truly felt. I'm not saying this to make you feel bad, I am more or less thinking out loud as to what I would do if I am ever in your situation. I have learned so much from you about courage and dignity and honesty and family love and I could never thank you enough for all that you have shared. I hope like Hell I never have to go through what you and your family have gone through and I hate cancer too! I look at my own, healthy and vibrant 7 year old daughter and my heart aches for you even more. But, please, please know that you have provided an invaluable service to all of us Mothers out there who are always striving to become a better parent. Because of you, I hug my children tighter, love on my children more completely and thank God every single day for their presence. You are an inspiration to me and I truly hope that as time goes on you can find peace and happiness. Love, Sharon Languzzi, Orlando, Florida

Dear Jennifer and Family, Hi to you. Think of you everyday. Hope you are doing well. Yesterday I spent with Auntie Jodi shopping for work clothes. Lil' Lexi went to daycare till 2pm, I get to watch her Tuesday and Thursday, that makes me happy and Grandpa Don. I told Jodi that we'll party on those days maybe margaritas, just kidding!!! I think Jo is missing her already. She starts on the 11th April. Can't wait for summer, its raining today. Sooo cold out. Tell the kids Hi for me and please take care. Love and Prayers Jay

Jennifer and family-
I was looking through my pictures from ROCK camp and came across quite a few of Sarah and her friends from the Red ROCK Stars group that Saturday in November. I was wondering if you might like a copy of them as I know you weren't with us during the day; I thought you might like to see what Sarah was doing that day? I searched the site for an address to mail them to you, but I couldn't find one... If you would like to have a copy of the pictures I would love to send you them, just email me and let me know where to send them. I will also be in Florida in just a couple weeks, I am hoping to see Cindy, Dan, Amanda and Danny so I might be able to leave the pictures with them to get to you, if I see them?
Please know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
With love, Kyle

Just checking in on you guys.

Sarah had always touched my heart, she reminds me of my niece from the first time I heard about her.

I can't say exactly how it will happen, the pain will never leave, but things will get easier. Cry your tears, hug your family, and hang in there.

Hi Jenna and Keith,

How's the Sarah's Butterfly garden coming along. I heard on the news yesterday that Davis, California has reported that millions of butterflys are migrating through their town and Sacramento to head to the foothills. I guess there are so many, that people are finding large groups of butterflys flying all around them. I think that is so great how good you guys have been at taking care of your catepillars and butterflys.

Hope you are having a great week.

Lots of hugs, Julie, Roger, Ezra and Noah

Hope you are adjusting the best you can. We pray for all of you now as much as ever. We hope there is some way to find comfort for all your family.

Marco was always kind to Laura and Myself. Meghan was a best friend of Jenna and still talks about her all the time even one year after we left Florida. She even thinks about going to Lewis Carroll to see her old classmates and Jenna is on the top of must see people if we ever make a trip down that way. Tell Jenna that Meghan Molnar says hello and still misses her very much, Marco that Henry says hello and that all of us regret your loss and pray for God to grant you strength and peace through all this. I'll try to check in every so often on you all.

Dear Jennifer,
We've never met but I have heard lots about you and your family from Renee Marie. I can't tell you how much I admire your courage and strength with your entries into the journal. I think it may be theraputic for you, I hope that it is and can ease some of your pain. What ever works.

What happened to beautiful Sarah was tragic at the very least, and the fact that you hold your head up and forge ahead for your husband and your children says alot about your character. You should be proud of all the things you have done unselfishly for your family. You are allowed to cry and mourn all you want, don't let anyone tell you different. It is called the healing process for a reason.

Little angel Sarah had quite an impact on so many people in her short but sweet life and even though she is gone, as her mother you can be proud of that fact. Do not second guess the choices you made for her in her last year of life...you loved her so much and only had her best interests at heart. No one doubts that, neither should you.

I want to wish your beautiful daughter Jenna a belated Happy Birthday and in closing offer you and your family continued support and prayers.

I can't believe that I never left a message, but I do visit your site often. I feel like I'm rambling on my updates - usually I have to go through and edit them thinking that no one cares about that but me. Writing the updates is usually therapeutic. Reading your update gives us a little of what you�re feeling. I worry about Cameron not being able to ride his bike this summer and the other things that he can't do because of his tumor, but like Sarah he doesn't complain and finds another outlet. There are so many lessons we can learn from them.
I will continue to keep your family in our prayers!

Dear Jennifer and Family,
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!!!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNA!
Isn't it wierd that the littlest things are the hardest.
Is is so okay to cry, if it make you feel better then do it.If someone doesn't understand then oh well! You all have been through so much and you need to get it out, and whatever way you want to.I always think about you but even more the other day.One month it doesn't seem possible. My dad will be gone 14 yrs. in August and it fells like yesterday.It is never easy.. but sometime thought will make you cry and some will make you laugh.Always Remember and Sarah will be right there loving you all like she always has and always will.
Well have a great week and a wonderful Easter.
Love and Prayers

It's okay to cry. I wish the woman looking at cards could have displayed some compassion. I'm sorry that I never met Sarah but she sounds like a great child. I can only imagine your pain because I even "hurt" for you and your family. I pray for God to bring you peace and to embrace you in his arms.

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Jenna, Happy Birthday to YOU!!! Jennifer, Marco, Keith & Jenna, I just wanted to say that I check Sarah's site everyday and love to read your journal entries. You make me (and all of us) feel connected in some way to your difficult times (and good times too). I am constantly amazed with your strength as a family and know that Sarah sees your love for her even now. The part of Sarah's service that made cry the most was when the minister dismissed your family at the end and the "four" of you left holding hands. It became apparent to me then that now this was yet a new chapter in your lives and Sarah was just above you instead of beside you. I hope you know never to feel strange or silly to express what you feel; it's in that, that we know how and what to pray for you. Love and God Bless. Have a wonderful EASTER!!!!!

Dearest Jennifer and Family, First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! JENNA, bet you had a great day. Wish you all were here, tommorrow were having a Easter egg hunt for the kids, it was so much fun last year, we have four extra huge lawns in front and really have bunnies running around, that is jack rabbits with foot long ears. Ha!
Thats whats nice about the country. There is now a horse and two goats in our pasture, Lil Lexi loves them, she calls the horse a moo moo, go figure. Jennifer never be afraid or anything to cry. Thats what I'm trying to still teach Jodi, she always worries what other people think. Life is precious and be who you are a wonderful person. I hope one day she'll know what I mean. Lil Lexi and me will act silly sometimes when were out and Jo goes shhh! As long as were not hurting or bothering anyone leave us alone!!! I'm a silly gram and I love my babies. My 16 year old grandson is so close to me, he holds my hand or put his arm around when were shopping and tells me he loves me in front of all his friends. I'm a very proud Grandma and Mom. So go for it. I love you all, please take care. Jay

You don't know me but I ran across your site through another caringbridge page. I lost a child in 1986. I still cry on the anniversary. That is ok. You will too. Your daughter, Sarah, was a beautiful girl. How blessed you were to have her, even if it was short. Your life will never be the same because she was part of it. Now, she is in the morning sunrise. She is there waiting for you. She will be in your heart forever. Your love for her will never die. I will pray for the healing of your heart. Never be ashamed of your tears. Crying is not a weakness but a great strength. It is part of your healing. Try not to feel guilty when you laugh. May God send to you the Comforter to hold you close.

Hello Pochy Family,
I had the opportunity to read your webpage the other day and think of you guys often. I wish there was more I could do to help. When I read the part about Jenna, all I could do is chuckle inside knowing how she is. You are very blessed with wonderful children. I went onto the link for Dr. Sidor since we took Cody for his first office visit and was able to see that Keith was a part of the no cavity club also. Way to go Keith!
I can't wait to see your butterfly garden. I planned on doing a unit in class on butterflies for that reason. Maybe you can let me know how the garden is coming along in a couple weeks so I can share that with my class.
You are in our prayers. Hope to see you soon!

I have lots of anger about cancer - being a one year survivor, but when it is a beautiful little girl it takes from us I am furious. Why does it spare some and not others? As I continue my fight with cancer I will be thinking of Sarah and her fight. Again, my thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

You will remember the exact moment and reason your precious Sarah gave you the potholder. It's in there along with all of the wonderful moments of her life. Right now there are so many other thoughts crowding your brain that it can't surface. Keep eating cookies WHENEVER you feel like it. Just throw in some good stuff afterwards. Please know that many people are praying for you and your family. I'm planning on supporting the Rockledge Relay for Life because of your beloved Sarah.

I'M TRULY SORRY TO SAY THAT I NEVER HAVE SIGNED THE GUESTBOOK, SO I STARTED TO READ IT..AND READ..AND READ. WHAT WONDERFUL THINGS PEOPLE WROTE--TOTAL STRANGERS TAKING THE TIME TO OFFER A THOUGHT OR PRAYER. I HAVE BEEN TRULY MESMERIZED OVER THE LAST HOUR BY THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN. THANKS FOR CONTINUING TO SHARE YOUR FAMILY'S JOURNEY WITH ALL OF US. EVERYTIME I READ ONE OF YOUR ENTRIES, SOME SORT OF SENSE OF CONTENTMENT COMES OVER ME--YOU HAVE A GIFT IN THE WAY YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF.

I have tears in my eyes right now thinking of your pain and loss. I lost my father to a brain tumor. It was such a helpless and horrifying feeling...but to watch your child go through this. And such a beautiful child. I just can't imagine. I know that everyone else's world seems to go on around you as usual, yet yours has stopped in so many ways. I found that to be very difficult. Please know that you and Sarah and your family are now a part of my world and I will (and already have) think of you, offer prayers and good deeds in your name. Take care of yourselves. xoxo

I have stopped by your website for a long time now and I never signed. Today's entry hit my heart strings. Do not beat yourself up for not remembering things you shared with your precious daughter. Now you are in shock and your memory is not what it use to be actually nothing is. It took me almost 3 years to remember all the good times and now those precious moments are all that keep me going. That and the fact that I will be with my Tiffanie again when God calls me home....

I have stayed in touch with Danny, Amanda, Cindy and Dan W. and they are the ones who let me know of your site and about Sarah earning her angel wings. I am so thankful she is no longer in any pain. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you and your family and praying for you all.
Love to all, Kyle

Hi. I found Sarah's link on Cheyenne's page. What a beautiful child. She looks just like a young cousin of mine. I am very sorry for you loss, and pray that you will find peace and comfort from God's word, and the support of others.

Hello again,
I continue to check your web page on a regular basis. I continue to pray for you and your family. It's amazing that I never knew Sarah, but words can't describe how she has affected me- many of these beautiful caring bridge kids do that to me. There is something special about the pic on Sarah's homepage. Her eyes are just so powerful and her smile can make you melt. (But I am pretty sure that you knew that- Oh boy did you!!)
I'm sure Sarah is in heaven, no longer in pain, playing with some of the special kids she knew and met via caring bridge. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

What a sweet and precious child she is! You are an inspiration to me and I wanted to let you know that no matter how hard this gets, God is there beside you holding you in His arms. He knows how hard this is and how you hurt and He loves you so very much!

Jennifer -- I found you doing research for a friend with a child with cancer. I will think of you and Sarah often. What a beautiful child. I read your post and am with you completely on our environment and what we are doing to it. I will do my part and will think of you and Sarah while doing it. My very best to you and your family. I am so truly sorry and, as a mother, absolutely heartbroken for you.

Dear Jennifer,
I am glad to see that you are still using this web page as a resource. It was nice talking to you the other day and seeing your family participate in the Relay for Life. We were very proud to be walking in Sarah's honor. I have decided that next year I am going to form a team, not just be on one. It is such a great opportunity to get the word out to others of how simple it is to give.
Hannah is student of the week this week in Mrs. Lampkins class. For her wish, she wrote, "I wish that Sarah Pochy was still alive." And she listed her favorite book as "The Littlest Angel", a story that I read to her after the memorial service that gave us many opportunities to talk about heaven and where Sarah is now.
I have been really lazy about going to the healthplex, but am getting back in to a routine, would you like to go with me? It would be fun to have a companion to ride with.
I know I will see you soon. Just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you

Dear Jennifer,
Just wanted to say hello! I'm so sorry to hear about Pet, I guess Sarah needed him with her. We sent something for Keith and Jenna I hope they get it today. It's just something fun for them to do, it was Taylor's idea. We now have a butterfly garden ourselves. Taylor wanted one to remind her of Sarah.She really misses her, we all do ! I am glad you guys had a good week(except for the tadpoles), Taylor has two frogs(Cutie and Climber), she has had them for about 6 months or so, she just loves them, she is "The Nature Girl". Well take care and we love you all!
p.s. Cookies are a girl's best friend didn't ya know!

We are always thinking of Sarah and your family.We keep up in how your doing through Melissa. I hope I run into you soon at the gym but I hate to say I haven't been as good about going lately. Racheal keeps Sarah picture on our refigerator along with a million other speacial things that mean alot to us.I had to hunt high and low for Racheal to find a livestrong braclet to wear in memory of Sarah. The bike shop in Merritt Island gave us all one for our family. Racheal wears it everyday.I will be more aware of all the waste and enviormental stuff we are exposed to everyday after reading you last entery. I never realized that this could effect us this way. How is the butterfly garden going? We would love to get something for your garden for you all if you can think of something let me know . Racheal would realy like to pick something out for Sarah butterfly garden. Hope all is well with Jenna and Keith. I Hope to see you out and about soon. Debbie Mayer and Family

Dear Jennifer,
It is Tina Herman again and after speaking with Robyn about the hot pad I now think she made it in kindergarten at Lewis Carroll. You are not the only one who can't remember every single memory. Anyway, maybe someone else will have one of these precious hot pads and give you a better insight into it's origin. Anyhow I have one just like yours that I treasure also and felt completely moved when I read your journal entry about not being able to bring that memory back of when she gave it to you and why. Life is oh so precious. You have made me see that even more than I already have. Bless you again!

Dear Jennifer,
This is my first time signing in on your guestbook although I have read it just about everyday for the past month. I sent you a card a few weeks ago through Melissa Shrack letting you know as I am now how deeply sorry I am for your family's loss, little Sarah. Not a day goes bye that Robyn and I do not talk about Sarah. She wears her Celebrate Life bracelet most everyday and named it Sarah.
This is because it makes her think of Sarah and she likes that. We attended Sarah's Memorial and felt blessed to see some of the amazing memories your family has built. All of the pictures showed such an amazingly happy child and you and your family should be proud for giving her a life so rich and full of love and fun. She was having fun in all of those pictures and it made me comforted to know as Pastor Herb said it that she did live a funfilled life as only a child can live. I couldn't help but let you know after reading today's entry that my daughter Robyn has the same hot pad with her handprint on it. It hangs in my kitchen and it is one of my favorite hand made goodies that I have ever received. Robyn made hers at Grace Methodist Pre-school. She made it in Mrs. Leftlers and Mrs. Kricks class. When I read your entry about this hot pad it hit me like a ton of bricks how every single memory does truly count. Thank you so much for your gift of sharing Sarah's life. Many, many people care for your family and pray for you continuously. You are a wonderful mother and a true inspiration yourself. Robyn and I will always remember Sarah and have a place in our hearts for her.
God bless your family,

Dear Jennifer,

I can only imagine how hard all the simple, everyday things must be. I have a dear friend who lost her 7 y/o daughter to a brain tumor a few years ago and she told me one of the hardest things for her was setting the dinner table---being constantly reminded they were no longer a family of 4.

After losing both my parents, at relatively young ages, of cancer and having my child dx with a brain tumor I have done some research into cancer "clusters." I strongly believe environment does play a BIG role in our health. We are seriously considering moving to the Blue Ridge Mts. of VA.

You are always in my thoughts and prayers~

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies in the passing of beautiful Sarah. I learned of her from "Doodles and Dabbles". Your little girl is just precious and after reading through your site, it is very obvious that she will be remembered forever. She left behind lots of loving memories in the hearts of all who knew her. I also was touched by the butterfly release. I too am fond of butterflies and think of our little angels in the form of butterflies.

"How does one become a butterfly?" she asked pensively.
"You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar."

Please find comfort in knowing that Sarah is pain free. She is an angel who may just visit from time to time in the form of a beautiful butterfly�

Oh my gosh, what beautiful eye brows, eyes, cheeks and a smile that's undescribable!!! (is that spelled right??) This child was so precious and beautiful Jesus must have needed her by his side! Please rest knowing that Jesus holds you in his sweet arms for your loss and for his addition to his angel list! I just can't describe to you how beautiful that child is! I feel for your lose, but I know Sarah is resting peacefully, playing and will NEVER EVER FEEL PAIN AGAIN!! What the answer is, I don't know, but I do hope and pray you and your family will have happiness the rest of your lives until you once again meet up with your daughter. AND YOU WILL!!!! I'm sure she will be holding a special place for you........always and forever loving you as her special special MOM!!! You have done a marvelous job! Thank you for knowing when to stop and let your child stop suffering! That takes more courage to let go than to keep holding on just for not wanting the lose! YOU ARE A SPECIAL PERSON! MY GOD KEEP YOU AND HOLD YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS ON THIS EARTH!

I know it will be hard to move forward after this loss, but I hope and pray that you guys can move ahead with some new found blessings. Be sure to get back to me so we can rekindle our friendship.

Dearest Jennifer, Well it is 5:30am and I just came in from letting Lily the pup out to go pee pee and po. My husband gets so mad because I have trained to go by that, but if it works.Ha Ha!! What do husbands know, she being potty trained and its working. Right and a fine job!
Talk to Sarah also shes fine, she is the brightest Lil" star, its right close to the three sisters stars, go look when it dark outside, I'm sure you have the same stars there in Florida, Its the brighest and so beautiful. You know the three stars could be my mom,dad,and brother, they all passed away when I was very young, I didn't know my mom, then their is my stepmom, she is the star very close to them, she was a great lady too. Miss them all so much. Guess that is why I am so very very close to my three daugthers and 6 grandkids they are my life. They keep me going. Specially the spoiled one Jo.Ha! Jennifer I can't imagine the pain you feel, but I see you so very very close to your children like me and I applaud you for your love and strengh, you are truly amazing. To lose a child is the greatest pain a friend that I've known for 30years just lost her son to cancer, she had 5 boys and was so close to each one. She is like you and keeps going and going. If you ever need a second mom or kids needs gram, just call 1-800- Auntie Jodi's mommy or Lexi's gram. There is always room. Tell Keith and Jenna I'm very proud of them both, sounds like they keep you busy, wait till there older, your still busy with them No time out! It's great. Well think I will go to back to bed for awhile till Jo calls Ha Ha" Mommy I'm up. Please take care and don't forget the stars. Jay Love and Prayers Always

I am so sorry that you loss your sweet Sarah. My 13 months old baby cousin Candace past away on the 20th of Feb. She had a terrible diease call Krabbes. I know that it is hard right now but alway remember that Sarah is no longer in pain and she can do all the things that she couldn't do here on Earth. Maybe Sarah and Candace are playing.

Dear Jennifer,

I have to share my butterfly story with you: when my mom was dx with cancer (5 years ago), I had this dream of my mom and I walking down the streets of Cape May (a town by the shore). As we were walking, hundreds of butterflies flew by us and over the ocean. The feeling of joy and awe I had in my dream felt so real. And the colors of the butterflies were so vivid---blue, yellow, purple, orange. I awoke from my dream, believing it was a sign of hope. A month later my mom died. I felt so strongly that my dream was a message from God, but confused as to what it meant. I then thought it was a message of rebirth. Like caterpillars, we trudge along life in our bodies. Only through death--our cocoon--are we reborn (like butterflies) into a new, beautiful life.

The day Sarah died I had a dr. appt. As I was waiting for the dr., my thoughts were filled with Sarah. For some reason, I found myself looking up at the ceiling. What did I see? 2 butterflies....one blue and one yellow. I smiled and was reminded of the beautiful life that awaits us.

Love,
Andrea

Dear Jennifer,
I am glad to hear you are "doing better", I know the pain will never go away for you and Marco, and the kids but maybe knowing that she is probably busy chasing butterflies or playing with creatures in the ocean in heaven can give you some comfort.What you wrote was very very nice. I totally understand what you are saying about "the boring life", when my husband was sick, that is what I prayed for was a boring life again. I also wanted to tell you that for the Relay of Life, and in honor of Sarah I made purple ribbon pins for the whole class and of course the biggest one will be on Sarah's desk.It is a ribbon with a rose in center. They turned out really nice!
Well as always I think about All of you all the time and again thank you for such a Beautiful memorial.Take Care!
Love an Prayers

"Fly, fly precious one. Your endless journey has begun. Take your gentle happiness, far too beautiful for this. Cross over to the other shore, there is peace forever more. But hold this memory bittersweet, until we meet. Fly, fly, do not fear. Don't waste a breath, don't shed a tear. Your heart is pure, your soul is free. Be on your way, don't wait for me. Above the universe you'll climb, on beyond the hands of time. The moon will rise. The sun will set. I won't forget." -Celine Dion

Please know that your family has been in my thoughts and Sarah is engraved in my heart. She was given to you for a special reason and I think this site clearly shows why. You and your family had the strength and wisdom to share her with the entire world.

I am heavily involved in the local Relay for Life event and her name will be part of the luminaria ceremony. It will be my pleasure to honor her memory.

Take special care my friend...

Dear Pochy Family,
Thank you so much for the Beautiful service. Sarah is such a wonderful little princess.Again words can not express the feelings we feel.The service was good for Taylor she finally cried and got it out. She is such a tough cookie, and I was glad that she got to say goodbye to Sarah in her way. Today at my mom's she made a kite and put Sarah's name on in and when we came home she put it on her wall, she said it was flying with Sarah in Heaven.That is her way of handling it and thats fine with me.Well, again Thank you so much to your family for sharing Sarah life.

Her favorite color was green
That's about all that I know
Except she knew the Lord Loved her -
her Bible told her so.

She swam in an ocean of laughter
She danced in a desert of grace
The way she loved those around her
Was written all over her face.

I was there the morning she left us
I heard every tear that was shed
I wanted to ask God the reason
But I asked him what now instead.

What now, God would you have us say?
What now, God would you have us do?
Wasn't it clear she was faithful?
Wasn't that enough for you?

God said, how could you ask such a question?
Surely the answer is clear?
Do I have to paint you a picture?
Is it not enough I am here?

I said God, that's not what I meant
But she was just too young to die
God said I know what you mean -
Remember I watched my son cry

I said yes, but at least your boy is with you
God said right, and now so is she
I set her a place at my table
and man, you should see that girl eat.

In fact, I wish you could see her smiling
then you'd know she feels right at home
She's been telling the angels about you
Just so you won't feel alone.

Her favorite color was green
That's my favorite too
She's already sliding down rainbows
Right between yellow and blue.

What your family has (and continues) to endure has been a remarkable reminder of how fragile life on earth is, and also how precious we are to each other. You have actually strengthened our faith when we feel like not believing at all because life is so unfair. Whatever sweet Sarah's purpose on Earth was, I believe she has fulfilled it, and you can be so proud of that. You continue to be in our prayers.

Contined prayers for your family. That God and Angel Sarah smile upon you and help you through this most difficult time of your lives.

I BELIEVE:

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And it's like you haven't been,
Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me

And with all my heart I'm sure,
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see,
I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Now when you die your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light,
It never ends and if I'm right,
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe
Oh, I believe

Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh, the people who don't see the most,
See that I believe in ghosts
If that makes me crazy, then I am,
'Cause I believe

Oh I believe

There are more than angels watching over me
I believe
Oh, I believe

Every now and then,
Soft as breath upon my skin,
I feel you come back again,
And I believe

God bless.

Dearest Marco,Jennifer,Keith and Jenna, Auntie Jodi's mommy here again. The last couple of nites when I let Lily the puppy out, I look up to the sky and start talking to Lil' Sarah and introduce her to Lily. So Jenna and Keith, Lil' Sarah has seen her first. Ha, I really hope next summer you can come out and visit us and we'll swim and barbeque. Remember we have a big house so you can stay with us, Auntie Jo lives right around the corner. I'm a pretty nice Grandma type old lady. Ha, we can bake cookies even. Auntie Jo asked me to help with Lil' Lexi today, while she goes shopping at the Galleria, they have a playpark Lil' Lexi loves, so that is where we'll be today. She will be your way in 2 days. I'm sending you a little care package of healthy goodies, so please enjoy. Please take care and group hug from me. Love and Prayers Always-Jay

TOGETHERNESS

Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
Whatever we were to each other,
That we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
Speak to me in the easy way
Which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed
At the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word
That it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
There is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind
Because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you,
for an interval, somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be
as it was before � only better.
Infinitely happier and forever
We will all be one together with Christ.

Yesterday I was asking God to show me a sign that Sarah was with him and by the afternoon I saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky. I felt as if it was Sarah with that big beautiful smile.

Keith and Jenna I'm sending a little something for you with Auntie Jodi. Hint: Jelly Belly. I know Auntie Jodi, Uncle Kris and Alexis are very anxious to come and give you all a great big hug. We are sending lots of hugs with them too!!!

My heart breaks for your great loss; I am so very sorry. Having my son in Iraq for a year (he just returned) showed me the kind of fear a parent can have at what can happen if fate takes a turn. But I cannot begin to feel the depth of your loss, and I mourn with you more than you can know. You, your family, and Sarah will be in my prayers. (I was gifted to have known you and yours at McClellan AFB. And remember that Sarah was gift to have such a loving family. God gave her to you for a reason.)

Take care of each other..

Another angel takes flight.

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Sarah was a fighter; there is no doubt about that! She is now pain free, free to fly in the Heavens and watch over all of you!
We lost our precious Pam on Oct. 7, 2003, so I know what you are going through. There are no words that can ease the pain.

The worst thing that can happen to a parent is to lose a child. It feels like someone ripped your heart out. You go from the unbelievable to the unbearable.

Sarah is in a good place now and I'm sure Pam is with her. She just loved children so much.

I would just like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn�t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I�d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I�d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I�d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket�

AND KEEP YOU��..FOREVER.

I would also like to share, with you and your family, a poem that was put on Pam�s website:
God's Garden

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Below is a poem that we have on a plaque dedicated to Pam:

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death
we do the same� It broke our
hearts to lose you, you did not go
alone; for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home� You
left us peaceful memories, your love
is still our guide, and though we
cannot see you, you are always at our
side� Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
The Chain will link again.

You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

I am a friend of Sarah's Grandmother Mary Ann Caverly. Mary Ann has been keeping me posted re Sarah, but I had not heard that hospice had been called in and that the decision was made to do no further treatment.

I was so sorry to receive an e-mail from Mary Ann that Sarah has passed away and am so sorry that she had to suffer at such a young age. Her angels were no doubt with her during her final moments and helped her reach her Father in Heaven.

You will all find such comfort in having her in your lives--wish I could have known her.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers, Pat

It is with an extremely heavy heart that I write this entry to you. I just could not go to bed until I checked the site even though in my heart I had a feeling what I would find. To Jennifer, Marco, Keith and Jenna and all of your wonderful, supportive, caring, cherished friends and family: you have my deepest sympathies on such an overwhelming and unfathomable loss. Now you can take the time to truly celebrate Sarah's short but treasured life and take comfort in the fact that she was surrounded by more love and caring than most adults have ever had in their entire lifetimes. This is a good thing and something that I hope sustains you in your darkest hours and days ahead as you adjust to living your lives without Sarah physically with you. Know that she will always be in your hearts forever, she is the warmth in the sunshine, the perfume on the flowers and the whisper in the wind for you all. Take care, God Bless you all and thank you for one of the greatest gifts I have ever received, the privilege of viewing firsthand God's wonderful gift of family devotion.

The grief is indescribable,
to lose a child this way...
all the many hopes and dreams,
just vanished on that day.

I know I'll see the sun shine bright
upon my baby's face...
when I finally get to heaven,
all my pain will be erased.

We'll soar the skies together,
as angels two by two...
we'll have a sweet reunion;
a mother's dream come true.

Merritt Island, FL U.S.A. - Monday, February 21, 2005 5:23 PM CST

Dear Jennifer, Marco, Keith, and Jenna,

We are full of sorrow to hear of your loss.

Sarah's sunny, happy disposition is a testament to your deep love for her. We are grateful for the gift of Sarah's bright smile. That was especially true a few weeks ago when she gave Ben one of her signature grins after he jumped out of the van to say hello. It was as if Sarah was comforting us. Today Holly said that Sarah "was an angel to start with , but was sent here to straighten up the world a little bit". She certainly fits the description.

Our prayers continue to be with all of you. Please consider us part of your extended Merritt Island neighborhood family should you need anything (454-9106).

Love, Sue, Jimmy, Holly, and Benjamin Rogers <jrogers2045@juno.com>

I will miss Sarah deeply. I feel fortunate to have spent the time I did with her in Florida. She was an angel, pure and simple. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you. She will be in my thoughts always, and I will feel her presence as an angel with me where ever I go.

Love you Pochy Family,

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL
and may this poem comfort you
love and prayers
Bernadette Anoa'i- Shroyer

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me;

I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,

And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But when I walked through heaven's gate,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
From His great golden throne,

He said "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today for life on earth is past,
But here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
And since each day's the same way
There's no longing for the past.

But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
You knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.

The Lord Is My Shepherd
Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.RIP Sarah.

To Little Sarah's wonderful family, I was heartbroken to read of Sarah's passing this morning. Her journey here on Earth has come to an end, but she is now beginning a new, beautiful journey along with God. He will hold her hand. What a beautiful little girl. Words cannot express how sorry I am for you and your family. I'm sure Sarah touched many hearts with her beautiful smile and her courage. I'm sure it was very comforting for Sarah to have her family with her and to know how much she is loved. Everyone always says that God does things for a reason. We may never understand his reasons, but we need to have faith in Him. I'm sure He has very special plans for your Angel. Sarah's star will be shinning brightly as she looks down on you and your family. She is in a grand place free from pain, free from cancer. She will now only have warm, sunny, beautiful days. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I just now looked at her picture for the first time and she was an absolutely beautiful little girl. You can tell a lot about a person by their face and she looks like she had a wonderful personality.

Yesterday was my birthday and we talked of Lil' Sarah alot, she was on my mind all day. I will always cherish getting to know her, I just wish when she was here last summer I should have given her so many more hugs, she was so precious, she has touched my heart and so many thousands more. I am so proud of you four, Lil' Sarah was very lucky and so were you. Tell Jenna and Keith hopefully next summer they can come to CA and we will swim all day and barbeque, I would love to spend time with you all, you can stay here and Auntie Jodi's she only lives minutes away. You know every nite when I take my new puppy Lily out,I always looked up in the nite sky and say a prayer for Lil'Sarah, now I will be able to talk to her,she will be the brightest star tonight I know. Please all of you take care and my loves go out to you special, you are such a beautiful family. I am so sorry, but God has a reason, I don't understand yet, but my daughter Deni always tells me this and she has helped me so much in life. She says shes raising me now and I'm the Mom, go figure!!! Love and Prayers and God Bless you four. Jay- Auntie Jodi's mommy and Lexi's gram

My heart breaks for all of you. As a mother who's been fighting the fight for almost 7 years, I cannot imagine facing what you all are facing now. You have to believe that Sarah is at peace and in a better place. She is no longer suffering and will be constantly watching over you. She has touched more people than you can even imagine, and will remain in our hearts. Please take care of yourselves, and she will continue to smile upon you all.

I truly am sorry about sarah's passings. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.

"God saw she was getting tired....and a
cure was not to be:
So he put his arms around her and said,
'Come with Me).
With tearful eyes we watched and saw her
fade away.
Although we loved her dearly, we could
not make her stay.
A precious heart stopped beating.
Gentle hands came to rest
God broke our hearts to prove to
us,
" He only takes the best".

Dear Jennifer and family,
Dying is easy. God would not make our exit from this world anything but a beautiful experience. It is the "getting there" that is rough. We saw the rough time Sarah had getting there, but her fight was so courageous. Now it seems that Sarah has the easy part, and you are left with the hard part - learning to live without her. I pray that the pain eases quickly, but I suspect the sorrow will stick around forever.

Love and prayers. Deedra

While sweet Sarah is free from the pain and in a far far better place than all of us, you her loving and courageous family are left here to grieve - but not alone. So many people love you - as is evident in these entries. Please remember that though we cannot know your pain as deeply - many people will be grieving with you, continuing to think about you, and continuing to pray for you. God bless you Jen, Marco, Keith and Jenna - today and always.

Manteca, CA - Monday, February 21, 2005 7:41 AM CST

Dear Jennifer,

My heart just aches for you and your family. I was praying so hard for Sarah's earthy healing, and that you would not have to endure such grief.

Even though I never met Sarah, I will forever remember her and her beautiful smile.

"For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually decaying, our spiritual being is renewed day after day. And this small and temporary trouble we suffer will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than the trouble. For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever. We know that when this tent we live in--our body here on earth--is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home he himself has made, which will last forever. And now we sigh, so great is our desire that our home which comes from heaven should be put on over us; by being clothed with it we shall not be without a body. While we live in this earthly tent, we groan with a feeling of oppression; it is not that we want to get rid of our earthly body, but that we want to have the heavenly one put on over us, so that what is mortal will be transformed by life. God is the one who has prepared us for this change, and he gave us his Spirit as the guarantee of all that he has in store for us. We are always full of courage. We know that as long as we are at home in the body we are from the Lord's home. For our life is a matter of faith, not sight."

2 Corinthians 4:16-18, 5:1-7

Jennifer--I know it doesn't take away your pain, but Sarah is free. Free of her pain, free of her tumor. She is at home with the Lord. When your job on earth is done, I'm sure Sarah will be the first to greet you at Heaven's gates.

From Rick Warren's "Purpose Driven Life"--"When life gets tough, when you're overwhelmed with doubt, or when you wonder if living for Christ is worth the effort, remember that you are not home yet. At death you don't leave home--you go home."

Love and prayers,

As I sit here sobbing, feeling completely helpless, the need to write you to let you know that I love each of you so much is overwhelming. The word SORRY seems like such a small word. How can "sorry" ever fix any of this? Please know that you are loved by so many and we will all do whatever we can to help with the transition of your new life, without Sarah. I feel SO HONORED that you shared a few of her last precious moments with me. To give her love and talk to her, play with her hair, and rub her back as she was sleeping so peacefully in your room was a comfort that I never expected. Although I could not believe this was happening to her and to your family, seeing her and giving her love one more time is something that I will carry in my heart forever. As well as the last hug that she ever gave me, just a few weeks ago, out of the blue she wrapped her arms around my neck and squeezed and showed me her BEAUTIFUL SMILE. I pray so often that you each are able to find peace, that Keith and Jenna will be able to enjoy their childhoods, and you will grow even stronger as a family. There is now the most beautiful angel watching over you forever. I am now and always will be here for you. Thank you for being an inspiration to so many with your display of strength and courage through the darkest of times. Love and peace to you all, Penni

You don't know me, but I found Sarah'a site while visiting Melody's site. There is nothing that anyone can say or do to take away your pain. I can only pray that someday you can find some comfort in knowing that so many people (even complete strangers as myself) are praying for your beautiful little girl. I will add Sarah to my list of prayers. I hope that she has a peaceful and pain free journey into Heaven. She will be with God soon and never have to be a prisoner of cancer again. I will also pray for you, her parents, and her siblings. What a horrible thing for anyone to have to go through, especially a child. Thoughts and prayers are with you. I will continue to visit Sarah's site daily. God bless.

You don't know me, I was directed here by a friend, but who cares...
I hesitated in signing the guestbook, but now, I feel it is time. Sarah is a beautiful child and she will make the most precious of angels.
My firstborn was stillborn, and I feel he is with me all the time, I feel as though he is my proverbial "angel on my shoulder", even though I never saw his face. (that just didn't happen waay back then)
I know in my heart that beautiful Sarah will be just that for you, your proverbial angel.She will be with you always until you see her again in paradise, just the way you remember her before this terrible disease took her from you.
May God be with you. My prayers are with you.

May this song give you the peace it gives me when I think of my Dad who passed away just over a year ago:

MercyMe - Homesick
From the album Undone

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

Hello, Pochy Family. Back on Wednesday, February 9th a friend of mine introduced your wonderful web site to me. (Her name is Cindy and her husband, John V. works with Marco). I made an entry into your guest book back then and have never stopped thinking of Sarah and you all since then. Jennifer, thank you so much for your unyielding strength and courage that gives you the ability to update us all about Sarah and your wonderful, brave family. Something about you all (strangers I have never met) has touched me so deeply. Maybe it's the fact that I have my own 7 year old daughter just one month younger than Sarah or maybe it is something entirely different that I can only attribute it to God's hand. I do know that I will never look at or wear my Yellow bracelet ever again without thinking of Sarah. I am praying for Sarah's safe journey into God's loving arms and that those same loving arms will enfold you all and bring you comfort and peace at this very difficult time. My heart is aching so badly which I know is only a smidgen of how yours are all aching. I'm so very sorry about this and just wanted you to know that your bravery is appreciated and acknowledged even by perfect strangers. Thank you for giving me the gift of realizing just how important our lives and children are and to never for one moment take any of it for granted. Thank you also for showing me through the depths of your despair that there are truly remarkable graceful people such as yourselves still among us.....I believe the term is "Amazing Grace".

When I lost my little 4 month old baby boy Bryan Paul in 1975 I had a telephone call from my Grandmother who NEVER used the phone and lived back in the hills of Tennessee. She wanted to tell me that God needed another beautiful flower for His garden and he chose Bryan Paul. I didn't know she had lost two of her own children years before. Then we lost my brother at 34 during a drug raid as he was a police officer in 1984. Another flower had been chosen. I know that my brother Joe, and Bryan Paul are waiting with Jesus and all the other children and loved ones to greet Sarah. And I know she will be able to watch over you and your family never to be sick or hurting again in a beautiful place where they can run and play and never cry or want for anything. They also get to see Jesus which is the ultimate goal in any Christian's life. My prayers are with you in this time of sorrow....for it is those of us here below still waiting that hurt the most. We want them back but I have more incentive to live the Christian life so I can be with them again....what a glorious day that will be! God Bless You and may you reach out and grab His hand and hold on for strength during this very, very undescribaly difficult time.

to Jennifer, Keith, Jenna,
I just was made aware of Sarah's website. My heart is
grieving for you and all who know and love her. My days
as "Music Lady" at the preschool has wonderful memories
and those memories include that beautiful face that
radiated when Sarah came to music class and chapel. Please
know that Dave and I will be praying for your entire
family in the days ahead. As I read the journal, your
love so explodes over the page and I know Sarah will be
singing soon. Thank you for opening your heart in a
tremendously difficult situation. Much love from Englewood

I can't help but thank the Lord for my own children, and their health...and pray for you all. Stay strong. Know that we all are praying for you, and Sarah.
A song we sing in church goes like this...
"He will raise you up on eagle's wings, bare you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun...and hold you in the palm....of his hands."

Dear Jennifer,
I just came upon your site tonight, and I am so sorry you are going through this. Sarah is a beautiful child. My daughter, Allie, had an anaplastic astrocytoma grade III in the thalamus (center of the brain), and was treated at Duke. She was diagnosed at age 4 1/2 in March, 2001 and became our precious angel in September, 2001. I know how difficult it is, and I am so sorry another family has to endure this pain. Your family will be in my prayers, and I will pray to Allie to watch over Sarah.

Dear Jennifer and Family,

I can�t tell you how many times I�ve started to write something in your journal to only get up and walk away. What could I possibly say? I could never find the right words. But I, like so many other people, cannot stop thinking about Sarah and your family. I had to say something, anything, to let you know how much we care. I�ve never met Sarah or your family but I think one thing that really struck me while reading your journal was how parallel our family�s lives are � I have 2 children at Lewis Carroll, 1 at Grace preschool, we live in Sunset Lakes, my son plays flag football, my daughter is in Brownies. There was the holiday parade, the field trip to the Polar Express, hurricane survival, a special date - Sept 20th, and the pink blankey. All things right out of our own family story. I recall your words from your journal �What are the odds it would happen to us?� These parallels in our lives reminded me that, but for a twist of fate, it could just as likely have been our family. You�ve shown such strength and benevolence to have opened up your lives to share Sarah�s story. You have stirred in people the knowledge about what is truly important in a family. You�ve modeled grace, dignity, humility, compassion and even humor. I am certain that Sarah and your family have forever made a difference in so many people�s lives and for that Sarah�s legacy will live on.

You don't know me but I was directed to Sarah's site on one of the message boards I frequent. I have seen many of these cases before and I am always deeply saddened by them, but none have touched me the way Sarah has. For some reason I feel very connected to Sarah. It feels almost as though I know her. Her beautiful face is etched in my mind constantly and I have been praying for her and the family round the clock. Sarah is obviously a VERY special little girl and she's touched many people's lives. Even though I never met her I WILL never forget her and I wish I had the honor of getting to know her. To all those who know Sarah personally you are very lucky people to have been touched by such a delightful little girl. I will continue to pray for a miracle, and for love and peace to your family!!

As a mother and a grandmother, I can only imagine the hurt and pain that you must be going through during a season such as this in your life. The decision that you have had to make is ultimately the hardest one you will ever make in your lifetime. Only God can give you the strength to go forth and peace to get through this most tragic time. God gave His Son for us, so he absolutely knows what is going on in your heart - He knows the deepest hurt in your soul...and ONLY He can give you the peace that passes all human understanding; I pray that our Heavenly Father will give you rest at night; and that He will replenish you daily by His Holy Spirit. You are in my prayers....God Bless you all.

Dear Pochy family,
We have been praying silently and quietly for over a year, ever since I heard about Sarah at Grace United Meth. Church MOPS meeting. We continue to pray for your entire family. When I read your journal that Cathrine Harwood posted all I could think of was that Sarah is so very lucky that her family is so very strong and wonderful Christians. Jennifer your documentation is a legacy to Sarah. I don't think I would be as together as you in the same situation, even my husband Dave had to take a break and finish later.
God Bless you in all that you do. You are continually in our prayers. Much love, Carol and David Lamp

I hope that when you read these notes you feel the caring and love that is sent with each one. I have never really met you yet thru all this I feel apart of your life. A life that has been touched and filled with such a special love that only Sarah could have gave you. She will continue to love and watch over you and your family forever. Each day will be a challenge but you will get thru them one by one. Sarah will be your guiding strength. She will be with you and carry you when you feel you can't go on. We send our love please whisper to her that we all love her and miss her already. Please give Keith and Jenna our love. I know this must be so horrible for them. We send our love and prayers, Deni Hunt

I am so sorry that you are going through this difficult time. As a mom and a grammy, I can understand how difficult this must be. There can be nothing harder than losing a child and feeling so helpless. I never had the pleasure of meeting Sarah, but seeing her picture, oh those beautiful brown eyes, she is absolutely beautiful. For Sarah's sake I hope that she will be soon be at peace. I know you will cherish the memories of your dear sweet Sarah. The days ahead will be extemely difficult but I know that you will all find inner peace when she is at peace and no longer suffering. Take care and may God embrace you all during this difficult time.

There is no way for one to relate to the pain you must be going through unless they've "walked a mile in your shoes." We can offer prayers to our God that he continues to keep your family in His loving arms. From a song at church: "God will make a way...when there seems to be no way....."

Keith and Jenna,
How are you two doing? You are two very special kids. Your sister loves both of you so much! I am so proud of each of you. You have shown Sarah how much you love her by reading to her and holding her hand and just being there. I hope you both known how much each of us out here who have written Sarah have also sent our love to you. What terrific kids you are. You are facing something that most of us adults have never even faced. I'm sorry for that. I wish we could change that for you. But since we can't please accept our love and make sure you talk about your feelings. It's O.K. to be mad, scared, sad, and all the other feeling you have. Just try not to keep them bottled up. You are so lucky to have two parents who love you so much. If you ever need a friend to talk to just look around we are all here for you. God bless you! Love and prayers Deni Hunt

Words can't express the sadness that I feel in my heart for the entire family. To say that I am sorry just would not be enough. I want to do so much for the family, but I have come to realize that your strength at this time is fed by your trust in God and the support from your family. Chris and I had a big talk last night and he is very sad. His questions and concerns were driven by his curiosity about what the family does next. I don't know what to say about that, but I did ensure to Chris that we need to pray for the entire family. Please know that many, many people are praying for all of you.
Love, Linda Lee, Mike, Chris and Mitch Matthias

Jennifer,

I am Dana Williams' sister. I cannot tell you that I understand how you feel because I've never been where you are; however, I can tell you that I've been through some very tough times in the past few years and that God has given me more strength than I ever could have had in my own human-ness. He has given me that "peace that passes all understanding" and I know just from reading your journal that He has done the same for you. I will continue to pray for you and your family in the coming days, weeks and months. Your testimony has blessed me.

In Christ,

Jennifer and family,
I just wanted you to know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers. I also have had the pastor's wife from Faith Lutheran and the Bible Study she leads praying for Sarah and your family. I hope that in this time of sadness the Lord can give you and your family, and especially Sarah, comfort and peace. Know that she is going home to be with Him. I lost my oldest brother almost two years ago to cancer, it helped knowing that he would be going to a better place. Please let me know if there is anyway at all that I can be of help to you.

Hello, you don't know me but i feel like i know you. My dad is a firefighter that was there with Sarah the day she got to use the fire engine. I don't understand why I am so lucky. To be perfectly healty and living my life. How can someone so young be soo sick. I know Sarh will go to heaven and will have her blankey with her. I just can't stop crying. I feel like I need to do something to help. I am the vice president of Kennedy Middle School in Rockledge. I was wondering if there was anything we could do to help. Please let me know. I do have some authority at school. Does Keith or Jenna need anything. Please I really want to help in any way possible. I am sorry. Sincerely, Allie Stepina

What a beautiful girl Sarah is. I wish I was eloquent enough to think of something profound to say to you, but I'm not. I can only say i am so very sorry for your pain and having to go through the nightmare of losing your lovely little girl. She is so lucky to have such a supportive, loving family by her side, keeping her comfortable until Jesus comes to take her hand and lifts the pain from her as she begins her eternal life. We pray for Sarah's continued comfort and for strength and understanding for you all at a time when there doesn't seem to be any. God bless!

I'm glad that you are all there around Sarah and that she is peaceful and comfortable.
Your journal yesterday broke my heart and I am crying now because I know when I see you all again she won't be here. What a wonderful family Sarah has to carry her through this.
