Dear Mr. Hallmark,

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

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

All my love,

Viks

Hi LeeAnn,
Thinking of you during the holiday season --- well, always. Argh. I can't believe we are about to spend our 3rd Christmas without our sweet babies. You know last year I racked my brain to remember what we did on our first. Finally, after about 2 weeks, I asked Lance. He asked how I could forget? We were on our way to his folks in Central IL on Christmas Day when our SUV engine blew! Goes to show the amount of stress we truly manage.

LeeAnn -- How wonderful of you to be a support to the other families on-line. Since SAvannah died, I can't do it anymore. I get so sick to my stomach! I hate all these children and families going through what we did. Please know that I will pray for them, and thank you for giving them your support, as you always have (I remember you 1st from acor).

You are in my thoughts ... and I'll never, ever forget our early a.m. talk! Maybe Brock & Savannah have found each other up there, too, and he's teaching her a thing or two about basketball. Ok...I'm signing off. The tears come too easily still.

Love, Amy

Thanks for sharing the wish list....Only a Mother and a Father who has lost a child can truly understand what you are feeling. Your list made me think about what my parents must still feel since we lost my brother Johnny, to this same disease when he was 14, just 18 months after his diagnosis. I was only 12 and its been 26 years now but he is never forgotten. I think of him and I smile. As a sibling, time has healed some pain but understanding why, will always be a question. My prayers are with you and your family.

LeeAnn, bless you! Every year, every month, every week, every day will bring a new 'pain'. Know that you have so many that pray for you and think of you and your family. I so cannot imagine my life w/o one of my kids. My older son moved out of the house about 3 mos. ago, and I've gone a month w/o seeing him. But I know he is here in town.

Bless you for taking each step and each day. I do not know if you heard, but Jesus welcomed another Wilms Warrior a few days back. In my mind I see all those (esp. the older ones) who have gone ahead, welcoming the little ones into heaven.

Good to hear that the school year is going good for you. I'm sure there are many lonely days and I so understand you being angry thinking about what Brock is missing... same feelings here! I believe I find myself angry more now than ever, just not fair that our children didn't get to have the change to be kids. Anyway, we'll make it... glad you were able to celebrate Brock's birthday with silliness! My school year is going good too, a new role this year is a welcome change. Hard to walk down the halls of the elementary school though where Spencer should be in 2nd grade! We'll just keep remembering all the good times we had with our boys though! Take Care!

Your precious words really touch my heart and hit home as I think about our son as I sent him off to his first day of kindergarten this year. (A blessing we doubted may ever happen as well!)

Praying that God will send extra comfort to your heart and soul now and forever until you are reunited with your son one day.

I read your entire journal. My daughter Brianna was diagnosed with bilateral nephroblastomatosis a little over a year ago. After 4 1/2 months of chemo and not being on any meds, a Wilms appeared. She is now undergoing 6 months of chemo. Thank-you so much for sharing your story. Many people don't know what the parents go through. I sometimes get mad when people tell me how strong we must be to do this when they have no idea how weak I feel. I just want to let you know that I find your entire family remarkable.

Doctor's recently discovered a tumor in my niece Nicole. She had surgery to remove it on June 5, 2006 at Miami (FL) Children's Hospital. They described it as the size of a watermelon, which I thought was unbelieveable, but I guess that is very common. Three weeks ago I had never heard of this type of cancer, but quickly learned it is all too common. Nicole will be 14 this summer. She has begun her 24 week regimen of chemotherapy, which will be followed by one radiation treatment.

She is very weak right now.

LeAnn,
How was the graduation ceremony? I know it had to be very very hard for you. did the parents of the other 2 students show up? I was pretty sure when u mentioned this months ago that they would be soooo honored! Did they also leave 3 vacant chairs? So, school is out - I know you will stay busy this summer. Normalcy? Is there such a thing? Just wanted to let you know I think about your family and of course Brock often.

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

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hi LeAnn,

I only just learned of Brock when I saw your entry in Brooke's guestbook.

I have read your journal (thank you for that!) and I have such mixed emotions. Until now, I think I have sort of been fooling myself into not even THINKING of the possibility that my son could lose his battle with the Wilms beast! Like you, I have heard all of the same words of encouragement, "If you have to get cancer, this is the one!" UGH! And until now, I was actually starting to believe it.

My son, Christian, is a Wilms Warrior Stage 3 fh. Like Brock, his tumor was the size of a football. Unlike Brock, however, his had already spread to the lymph nodes.

**sigh**

But as fear creeps into my heart...so does inspiration. How do you go on? How do you stay so strong? Here it is years after Brock's passing...I know it hurts as if it were yesterday...but your words and actions are admirable.

I cried so hard reading your journal entries...something I haven't done since Christian's diagnosis. Thank you for that. I really needed to.

Oh..and I LOVE the grieving parents wish list...much of applies even to us with children still fighting the beast!

I will check in on you and keep your family in my prayers.

Love,

Rene' Losurdo

I don't even know what to say to you or your family. I was just browsing this web site for another boy in Youngstown, Ohio battling cancer & asked God to let me find one person's story (out of 24 pages) to read that I could send an encouraging word. I was never able to have children & will never know the pain you've encountered in your life. Brock sounded like an incredible young man. It would have been a joy to have met him. My husband have worked for many years with teenagers in our church & are so drawn to them whereever we are.
My prayer for you is that you will see an incredible outcome of someone's life that your son touched. God knows why this happened. Even though you said you weren't a religious person God was still near to you. He draws very close to those who are completely broken hearted & at the lowest point in their lives. You will be able to hold the hands of many more mom's who are experiencing the same thing you went through.
I pray that God will lead the right people to you that you can touch & hold on to while they are in crisis.
I'm a nurse & almost daily stand next to a doctor when he/she reveals bad news of cancer. I don't work on an oncology unit, but I still deal with cancer every day. Thanks so much for sharing your story. I know it was the worse thing you've ever gone through in your life. I felt like I knew you & your family just by reading your story & weekly updates. May God richly bless you and your family.

To the Barnard family... We know how tough Christmas can be with a loved one missing, as this is also our second Christmas without our son/brother Alex. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. At our bereaved parents group meeting this month, we discussed whether "merry" is an appropriate way to express Christmas greetings. Instead, we settled on "peaceful". So, please accept our wishes for a peaceful Christmas. May warm memories, and the love of family and friends, bring you tidings of comfort and joy.

Thank You for taking Matt to the Pacer game. He really misses Brock. He plays his basketball in honor of Brock.
He was so honored to wear Brocks jersey at Conseco. Brock would have loved Conseco. He sure thinks alot of you Leann. You are like family to him.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
We love you all ,Randal , Jackie, & Matt Reese

LeeAnn, the strength that parents like you have for the holiday season is amazing. I can't get into the spirit for thinking of people like you & Lynn. hmmm, 16, oh joy! lol My younger son is 16.5 and boy did I forget what that was like. But teens are a joy too, aren't they? Brock was surely amazing.

Hey, I didn't know Lynn worked at the post office! My 20 y/o son was just hired last week as a rural route substitute! I'm so excited for him, but am still 'encouraging' him to continue in his Radiology studies - so that when he is certified, I can take Laurel in whenever, right? LOL OK, I can dream.

I will be stopping in regularly. It is the Season of Miracles. I know Brock is looking down from heaven smiling upon you!

I read your post on Brooke's sight and wanted to read your story. I am sorry that you have to know the pain of losing a child. I am an oncology nurse and I HATE CANCER. The beginning of your web page with your wishes is so AMAZING. I am going to print it and share it with everyone at work! Brock's smile was beautiful, and I will think of it when the sun shines. Please hold tight to his memories and keep them alive during the holidays and always. Know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.

I am EXTREMELY sorry about your son, Brock. He sounded spectacular, and if i were to have a son.. im almost possitive i wouldnt be as strong as you- and i wouldnt be able to have the courage to speak of him as strongly as you. Durring this holiday season it is extremly hard, my prayers go out to you and i hope everything is going well. Thanks for being such a stong person. You are one of the few.

My son is in the same class as Brock (Tyler Cooper) and I know how emotional I am when I think about him graduating in May, I can't imagine what you are thinking and feeling. I think the idea of leaving the 3 chairs empty with the caps and gowns drapped across them is such a good idea. I know that on this special night Brock, Brandon and Nichole will be on the minds and in the hearts of everyone. God bless you.

Hi LeeAnn,

I'm from DaybyDay. I was interested in your post regarding the name of your grief dance. Our boys were almost the same age. Alex would have been 18 this last July 30. I, too, believe that Alex would want me to go on and keep as happy as possible. Instead of dance classes, I am a singer, so I belong to three choirs!! I also keep ultra busy at all times, because the quiet times, and the ones without activity are too hard. I'm just glad to see someone else that thinks it is important to keep going as well, healthily, and happily as possible. Is it survival? because sometimes I'm not sure that is important. Is it because of our boys ages? Or just the loving relationship we had with them. Oh well. Glad to hear you are keeping busy.

Love, Laurie Kalata

I cannot wait to hear what the school will be doing for the 3 children that should've been graduating w/their class this coming June. I know when it's Tessa's turn, you will be going all out! I will be thinking a lot of Brock in early June - celebrating the life he did have here on earth. He was obviously a very special young man!!

I came across your site this evening while browsing through some other CaringBridge sites. I read Brock's story with much interest, seeing strength and love in the Barnard family dealing with such a tragedy. Pediatric cancer is a horrible thing, but the kids affected are so strong in dealing with their illnesses. Our son and brother Alex died in June 2004, also at the age of 16, after a long struggle with leukemia and its side effects. There are a lot of parallels in our life journeys...my wife Karen is a teacher, and Alex has a younger sister who was very close to him. Like you, we have a CaringBridge site, started after Alex's second relapse in late 2003. Please know that you are not alone, and we extend our prayers, best wishes, and understanding to you all.

LeeAnn,
Updates are always welcome. It's good to hear about how well Tessa is doing. And nice to hear that Brock's class is thinking of doing something to remember the classmates they've lost. How sad that they have lost three. Ideas: A cluster of maple trees that would be bright reminders each fall; a fountain in a courtyard, if the school has one; A stained glass window in a cool modern design somewhere in the building. All those are pretty expensive, so maybe a scholarship for whatever is raised for the next year's class, or new flags for the school or a new stock of video games for the hospital.

Came across your page while sitting in the hospital, our son Kyle has Wilms and has relapsed twice even after stem-cell transplant, I have read some of your past journal entries and of course I am crying but the one that stuck most in my mind was on how you felt before and after you lost your precious son. The fear of the unknown, not knowing what is coming next, is exactly how my husband and I feel, I can't imagine what you have been through I have tears streaming down my face, I'm glad I came across Brock's page even though I do not know you at all I will remember your son.

Don't tell anyone I said nice things about anybody, it might ruin my reputation..That said, LeeAnn Barnard, (btw, LeeAnn is a lot prettier than "Mrs.")you are a beautiful, amazing person who never fails to delight and entertain me with your humor, wit, sencerity, and..oddness! I miss being able to drop in on you from time to time and waste my precious educational hours. Tessa is getting to be a real big girl, too, and I'm missing it. You're both growing up so fast! I come here to check on you periodically, so keep it comin'!
I kept Brock high in my thoughts especially on his birthday, and I can never think of him without laughing about something silly I remember him saying, or a good time I had with him. Not only were you blessed, but through him, you blessed the lives of many others.

I just ran across this website today for the first time and it's difficult reading the hard times all the kids on CaringBridge are going thru. My niece passed away when she was 4 years old on 5/17/90 from a Stage V Wilm's tumor. Funny thing is that none of us knew she was sick. She went outside to play one morning with her little brother and according to the autopsy a piece of the cancer that had metastasized to her lungs broke off and got lodged in her wind pipe, therefore cutting off her oxygen. It's still hard 15 years later to accept what happened - she was the first born between my brothers and I. We too miss her like you do Brock and still take each day as it comes. My thoughts and prayers are with you! Carrie

Thank you for sharing Brock's story. I was looking for a friend's caringbridge page when the words, Wilm's Tumor, caught my eye, so I checked out the website. We have much in common. My son also had Wilm's Tumor. He fought it 5 times between 1992 and 2004.He went to heaven on May 8, 2004, Mother's Day Eve, at age 18. I'm trying to complete my Masters Degree in education that I began before cancer #5. Feel free to contact me. You, and your family will be in my prayers!

Brock sounds like he was such an amazing boy! You must be so proud of him. I like what you wrote, especially the part about speaking about Brock, thinking it's gonna cause you more pain. When my cousin died, I was talking to her dad whom I'm very close to and he said that his grief is going to be there no matter what...After that a lot of stuff made sense to me. I'll add Brock to my list of Caring Bridge angels on my site. Know that I'm thinking about you. (If you'd rather not have a link to Brock's page on my site, let me know and I'll remove it) I'll visit daily.

Hi LeeAnn! I am such a jerk and never find time to write, but I'm always thinking about you. Camryn is doing well now, I thought she was going to make me insane with all of her crazy blood counts and little dilemmas, but we are finally in a better place now...
Guess where they've stuck her for this inpatient stay?? Stem Cell! ACK! I am such a freak, I had to totally un-do my thinking...I was wondering if that was some omen or some crazy thing like that...I know that you know how my whacky mind works! :-)
ANYWAY! Congrats to you and I hope that you did enjoy your Mother's Day!

Hi LeeAnn,
Congrats on the Master's Degree! That is quite an accomplishment. You should be very proud of yourself; I'm sure Brock would have been very proud of you, too. Congrats to Tessa on finishing Driver's Ed. I hope you got lots of pampering and adoration on Mother's Day. Sending warm thoughts your way,

I don't know how you do it :> Hope you were spoiled rotten for Mothers Day and that you've felt a brush of your Superman's cape as he breezed all around you~ Just want to say hello and that we are thinking of you all. Give Tessa a giant hug and of course lotsa kisses for the biscuits-n-gravy delivery man :>

I'm glad things seem to be going okay for all of you, I'm sure there are still many moments that are difficult, but you all are accepting life with such grace and dignity...

Just stopping by to wish you all a warm and sunny weekend. The Prom sounded wonderful and how incredibly giving of you all to be there for others. It must have been awesome to hear "Superman!" Brock must've really gotten a kick out of that! LeeAnn, Way to go to finish with your Masters Degree(WOW), and Tessa...Driver's Ed already?!? You all take care, we think of you and pray for you all often, praying for peace and sunshine to be part of your everyday~

The Cord

We are connected my child and I,
by an invisible cord not seen by the eye.

It is not like the cord
that connects us til birth
this cord can't be seen
by any on earth

This cord does it's work
right from the start
it binds us together
attached to my heart.

I know that it's there
though no one can see
the invisible cord
from my child to me.

The strength of this cord
is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed,
it can't be denied

It's stronger than any cord
man could create.
It withstands the test
can hold any weight

and though you are gone
though your not here with me
the cord is still there
but no one can see

It pulls at my heart,
I am bruised....... I am sore
But this cord is my lifeline
as never before..

I am thankful that God
connects us this way
a mother and child
death can't take it away!!!!!!!

I knew it had been about one year and I thought I would let you know we were thinking of you. We followed your story as the only one we heard of while fighting Wilms at Riley.
It helps me sometimes to say Jabez' prayer.

"Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request."

Have been thinking of you all a lot. Wondering how you ended up spending Brock's first angeldate...no handbooks, no guidelines, no experience...just figuring it all out as you go, I know. Your tribute to him was awesome, and it truly showed how he & your family lived while he battled and since he died. You find so much positive in life, and i've told you before how much your family helped ours, and I still mean it. On the anniversary of his death, you talk of how proud he made you and of how much he accomplished in such a short time. No wallowing...no anger...just love. Hugs to your family as you make your way through another year without Brock.

I'm sorry we haven't had that phone call, yet, LeeAnn...but we'll get there.

Hi I recent lost my baby cousin to a terrible diease call Krabbes. She passed away on the 20th of Feb. She was only 13 months old. I found this poem and want to share.

Don't Cry for me Mama
I am right here.
Although you can't see me,
I see your tears.

I visit you often,
I go to work with you each day,
And when it's time to close your eyes,
On your pillow is where I lay.

I hold your hand and stroke your hair,
And whisper in your ear.
If your sad today Mom
Remember I am here.

God took me home,
This we know is true.
But you'll always be my Mom,
Even though I'm not with you.

I am Mama's little boy,
We will never be apart,
For every time you think of me,
Please know I'm in your heart.

Hi, I learned of your son Brock's site from seeing it on "Hugs & Hope". I read through your story of Brock and he seemed like a really amazing kid! I am sure that everyone who was fortunate enough to have known him would absolutely agree. Some people think you can't learn much from reading words, but thats not true because a story is also told "between the lines".This site truly expresses what a great person Brock was. He is in Heaven, no doubt, watching over his family with love...especially today on his 1st angel anniversary. In kindness~Lisa

Dear Barnard Family,
Even though we don't know each other, I just wanted to stop by and say you are in my thoughts and prayers on this anniversary of Brock gaining his wings.
Just from the photo's, it's easy to see that Brock was so loved by his family. I am sure he was a very special young man. Sometimes on an anniversary such as this, I will purchase helium balloons, write messages on them and send them up to Heaven, it's so beautiful to watch them fly off into the sky, until they finally disappear...or perhaps a hand reaches down to grasp them? :-) It's my fervent wish that we will ALL see our loved ones again, one day in Heaven.
Peace and best wishes to you all today,
Tracey and family xoxo BWC <traceyhewison@shaw.ca>

I couldnt begin to understand your pain but just wanted you to know that we are hurting with you and remembering your son. I always hate the "anniversary" days as I just want in a way for it to go on like any other, yet how can it? I always feel like I should "do" something but never sure what to do.
I can tell just by your journals what a wonderful boy/man Brock was. I hope sharing his life and allowing it to continue to inspire others will provide you with some peace, though I know it never really gets easier.
love, hope, courage

Hey Leann, Tessa, and Lynn!!
How are you guys doing? I hope your doing good! You are always in my prayers and thoughts everyday.. I am always coming to read the journal whenever I get time in my computer class. I can't believe it has been almost a year since Brock left us. It seems like yesterday seeing Brock walk into a class to help the teacher work on their computer or seeing his smiling face walking down the halls. It is just not the same. I would just like you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and I know that it will be tough having the 1 year mark but we'll pull through it together. Always keep your heads up and spirits high. Good Luck in your research class Leann! XOXOXOXO!!

I have just read about Brock's battle and I wish you and your family all the best in the future. Very moving. My four year old son just finished chemo due to a stage 11 favourable wilm's tumor. His first CT's will be on 2/7/05 and I am sick with worry. My question to you was Brock's tumor favourable or non- favorable? Thankyou and God bless you, Adele Binau

Dear LeeAnn, I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. Prayers are sent from Michigan while you approach the anniversary of Brocks passing.

Kyle is doing well. He had his 1 year scans right before Thanksgiving and they we're all clear. In my heart I know this is behind us but sometimes I do the mom thing and worry about the future.

One of my best friends learned on Thanksgiving that her daughter Zoe has neuroblastoma at 14 months old. My heart just aches for the journey that is ahead of them. But I am reminded of all the blessings that come with the heartaches too.

I hope you all enjoy your trip to Florida and take care of yourselves.

I have read your story many months ago when we had first started our journey. I did and still do not know how or what to say to people sometimes. But please know that my heart has ached for you and your family and all the other families who have had to endure the heart ache of losing their children to this awful beast. I may have signed before and maybe not. But have thought of you all ever since reading your jornals. I pray that you all find peace.
Hugs to you all.

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I've been thinking about you and your family and wanted to say, "Hello." I loved the picture of Brock on the Homepage and also the message beneath it. Hope you don't mind if I share it with my friend, Sarah, who also has an angel boy, Corey. Your boys had a lot in common. She too, attends the home basketball games. I was impressed the shopping is nearly done?! I've only just begun. Oh well, four more school days and then i will get it licked. Christmas blessings to your family.

Hi Barnards,

Thanks for sharing the story about the hawk. I love it when we feel them especially near sending us a message. And what a tribute to Brock's memory with the basketball warm-ups. That is soooo cool. You know I love all that stuff, too. It makes us feel good to see them remembered...to see others recognize what a difference Brock made & how much he shined.

I hope you are doing ok this holiday season. Jasmin is helping us a lot. LeeAnn, give me a ring when you have a chance.

It's good that you were able to get Christmas shopping done. I just realized that I'm going to have to do every bit of mine next weekend if Camryn is admitted for her meds this weekend. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! I guess I really do enjoy an adventure! :-)

I hope that you have had a great day and I'm always thinking of you!

Hi Barnard Family,

While I know that Thanksgiving will never be the same as it was with Brock and you'll always miss him terribly, you have the first one down and that has to be the hardest. We lost my brother-in-law when he was 20, and that was 15 years ago. We can now finally reminisce without crying, but we will always miss him and my mother in law has the pain that only a mother can know. You guys are in my heart and Brock will always be.

Hi Barnards,
A day does not go by that I don�t think about Brock and his family. I like Brittany see so many Brock stickers on many cars everyday. Every time I see a Brock sticker I smile and have a happy thought about Brock. One of your worries is that Brock will be forgotten, you can rest a sure that will never happen. Brock will be in everyone�s heart forever. I so miss see Brock running around Wapahani High School. Brock would always stop and talk to me. He always had such a great positive attitude no matter what. I know that the holidays will be so very hard for your family. Just know that many people are thinking and praying for you all. God Bless you.

Barnards! Hey guys..how are you doing? I hope very very well! I have not wrote in here lately because I have been very busy. I have been babysitting for these 2 special ed kids (ages 5 and 10) I really enjoy it but everytime I babysit them it always makes me question..Why do people have to be born with a disorder, and then I always go on thinking why does someone so nice or so special die so early..go through so much pain, why is there loses? I always wonder about it and question it..but then I just keep on going and believing whatever happens..happens for a reason. This weekend I was driving around town with my boyfriend and we kept seeing people with Brock stickers on their cars..we always see so many, and so many people know of Brock now. Everytime I see a sticker on someone's car I always think of me and Brock playing T-Ball..but really out playin around in the dirt, not watching for the ball. It makes me smile because I know that he will not be forgotten..I think about him randomly all the time..especially when something goes wrong with my computer. I can't believe it has been six months since Brock left us...time goes by so quickly. I started thinking about him today as I was reading some quotes and I just thought I would share them with you.
**The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way**
**I believe I'm the only one who can protect me, but my real guarrdian angels are my friends**
**Friends are angels who lift us off our feet when our wings forget how to fly**

Those reminded me of Brock..especially the last one. Your always in my thoughts and prayers.

Lots of love and hugs from Illinois...I'm so sorry Brock is not able to be there with you, and please let Tessa know we are thinking of her very much. My son has Wilms and is doing well, but it still is hard on the siblings...Stephanie is 10 and she doesn't say a lot about how this has changed her, but I bet Tessa would understand. I believe everything you said in your journal about not giving up, and I am so thankful you have that strength.
In God's love,

We can now say Brock's name without bursting into tears (depending on the situation). It does get easier, but it doesn't FEEL any better. I miss his 'Hey Mamaw' more than anyone will ever know. Every time I see a new pair of 'athletic' shoes, I think he should call me to get on the computer so I can see 'these really sharp shoes'. Every time I see a kid with baggy pants and a stocking cap I see him. I know he would have enjoyed seeing the Pacer game Monday night up close and personal. We missed him not being there with us.

Just rambling here---
Love Papaw Ern and Mamaw Judy

Leann I just had to say hello this morning , ya know when I heard the news that Superman Christopher Reeves had passed away I instantly thought of Brock, I was thinking that Brock was excited to meet Superman as he entered the gates of Heaven just as he did not that long ago. Im sure they were instant friends and that they will share stories of what is was like being SUPERMAN...... You are in my thoughts today..... Tessa, hang in there it wont be long with those braces and it will be all worth it....

LeeAnn, I think there is a remarkable strength within you and I'm glad your student had someone with your life experience to talk to when sharing his personal tragedy. I'm so glad you are teaching high school. I know you can make a difference, day by day. At the same time, how hard it must be for you and your whole family to be missing your son. We think of you often. And we are doing well in the north (hey, there is a project for your students - northern studies - lots of areas to explore up here - let me know if you ever need information or material). Shiri and I have run in two cancer runs in the past few weeks and, slowly but surely, life is getting back to "new normal".

Hi LeeAnn,
Thanks for signing Savannah's guestbook. Just have to say that you have a strength which is so evident and so inspiring. I always tell you that your family and Brock gave us hope...and you led the way to battling the disease and heartache with courage and love. We followed surely in your footsteps.
I know, though, that I am just waiting for Savannah's hug. I can't believe it's been 6 months for Savannah & 7 for Brock. I can't believe we've made it this far...and yet I feel like we just returned from Disney. The past few months are such a blur.
I'm touched to know Brock's peers are still doing little acts of remembrance. Even the littlest thing is the biggest to us parents, isn't it? Savannah's friend, Jack, told me that during religious ed. last week, the class had to go around the room and each student say why they are thankful for God. Jack said he is thankful Savannah is being taken care of! I thought I was going to fall off the breakfast barstool when he shared that with me!
Our love, The Olsons

Your words could not have been more heartfelt. I too felt "I can't do this" when I was giving birth to my daughter Paige. She came quickly and there was no time for an epidural. If I knew then what I know now. That pain was nothing compared to the ache I feel now for her. After 3 years I still long to hold her, feel her and hear her say one more time "I love you, Mommy". She gives us signs fairly frequently which comforts me but your're right... this is the life we lead now. And we are forced to cope with unending longing and pain. Birthdays, holidays, anniversarys - they suck! But our angels are looking down on us and are helping us more than we know. How else could we go on day to day? Just wanted to let you know that I still check your website and think of you often.

Dear Brock,
I was thinking of you yesterday, as I often do, but especially yesterday. I couldn't get to a computer then, so here I am today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Even tho we didn't meet until you were 11 or 12, the short time that I knew you... I thought so much of you. Your strength, respect of others, sweet innocence, and definitely intelligence impressed me so much. Just proof of what wonderful parents you have and how special your family is. Your life was cut way too short, and that is something that none of us will ever be able to understand... we only wish that we could make it easier on your mom, dad, and sis.
Brock, I hope that you know how much you are missed by so many people, and that you had the best birthday ever.

Dear LeeAnn and Family,
I thought about Brock yesterday as well. Remember he and my Bryan share the same Birthday? I wanted to check in I knew you would update on that special day. It had to have been incredibly difficult for you all. The day he was welcomed into heaven though sad for those who loved him had to be an amazing celebration of peace and love for him. I just lost my father recently and I am beginning to find hope and comfort in knowing he is with our Lord and he is truly at peace.
May each day get easier and may Gods love stregthen you. You are an amazing Mother and a great example of love to others. My prayers remain with you and your family.

Just stopping by to say hello. I know how hard the 23rd will be for you. I did have to smile though as the 23rd (of July) is Meghan's birthday, and then 2/16 (of 03) is when a beautiful little friend of ours lost her life to Leukemia. She also has an August birthday (8/6). I am very big into dates and things, and the coincidence just made me know that Brock, Meghan and Alexandria are all doing well and continuing to send messages to us all. I hope you have a peaceful day. Please know there are those of us out here who know your pain all too well and lift each other up when needed. If you need me, please contact me. Sending you hugs.

We are on our break from inpatient stays right now...just weekly clinic visits. MUCH better than inpatient every other week :-) Now, if only we could move a little closer to Indy, we'd be all set!

I know that Brock's birthday will bring you tears, but I hope and pray so much that it also brings you many more beautiful thoughts of him and that he some how lets you know that he's always with you and that he is okay.

I just spent over an hour reading your entries from start to finish. Our daughter was diagnosed at age 3 in August of 1996. She is now 11-1/2. She had Stage III A-Typical that spread to her to the colon and pacreas. She had her left kidney removed along with part of her colon and pacreas and had a temporary colostomy throughout treatment. She just had her yearly check up. Every year when we go,(to Riley in Indy) It brings the old memories back and I get on the web to research...which is how I stumbled upon this sight. Your story will be in my heart forever. I will not say "I can't imagine how you could deal with that" because I had that said to me too many times to count and of course I know that you dont know how you dealt with it either - YOU JUST DO. You did a wonderful job of pertraying what a truely exceptional and strong person Brock was. I just wanted you to know that your story touches me deeply and I will pray for you and your family.

We think about you often and know you miss Brock. I like the idea of the Superman cut-out watching you teach this year. Hope you have a good first week back at school and please keep the updates coming.

I'm so glad to hear that Tess is doing well and excited about going back to school, but how bittersweet for you. His bench sounds wonderful and will be a tribute to him in years to come...they will never forget him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi LeeAnn...I have decided to come out of my hole...it wasn't really pleasant there anyway and I missed being here! :-) I hope that you are having a good day...I hope that getting ready for school to start is going well...I hope that Tessa is feeling great...and, I hope you know how much your messages and thoughts mean to me...thank you!
I'm sooooooo looking forward to school starting for Taylor. Apparently my ability to entertain is dwindling and she's no longer digging my antics! Trying to be everywhere and do everything is a tad frustrating, but hopefully we'll have some kind of working system soon...I hope! :-)
Well, I am babbling so, I will go for now. Please know that you are in my thoughts everyday...and, I'm so happy that Brock came to you in your dream...
Love and Hugs from...

In August I'll be doing a charity walk for the Make A Wish Foundation and the little girl we're raising money for has Wilm's Tumor. I was unfamiliar with the disease and decided to do some research, and that is how I have found your family and your amazing son Brock. I have sat here for the last two hours reading your journal and feeling like I am a small part of your family. I've celebrated your highs, fretted over your lows, and I have sobbed over Brock's passing. I have no children of my own, so I can't truly know your grief, but please know that when I'm walking in late August for Hannah, I'll have Brock with me too.

Hey Barnards,

Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you guys all the time. Things in IL sound a bit like in IN. We are keeping ourselves busy and focusing on Jasmin. It's so strange to be able to do everything for HER. She was just 10 mos when Savannah was diagnosed, so I never really got to schedule anything around Jasmin...always Savannah. It's been good for the both of us, but like you said...reality is starting to sink in that Savannah won't be in her room ever again.

Brock and Savannah were so much alike...they had so many people who adored them and rooted for them...and they loved life. I have to tell you that each day I do remind myself of how Savannah lived. Like you said, what would Savannah want me to do? I guess it's our way of going on...yet your family always inspired me, also, to keep fighting. Brock's web site exuded joy, and I really felt like your family was amazing...tho' we've only emailed & talked on the phone. Brock was kind of my beacon of hope...he always will be.

Lots of hugs from IL to IN.

Brock�s bench will be a very nice place for kids to get together for conversation. Brock�s bench is just another nice remembrance of him.

Brock will forever be in our hearts.

It is hard for many of us to understand what you must be feeling but rest assure you will see the light, Just keep all the worries away and focus on the GOOD memories you shared. Your love and memories of Brock is something that NO ONE can ever take from you. You have so many people that care and would listen if you needed to just explode on them. You need to just take time for yourself youve been thru so much. But you really did a remarkable job with Brock and Tessa . GOD BLESS..

Hello Leann, I am so glad that Tessa is getting around, the pain will soon be a vague one and she will be right back to all of her activities. I am sure that you need a break from all the stress. I wish there was something that I could say or do to releive you of that, but I don't have any clue as to what. It had to be so emotionally draining to go back to Riley, and to watch another child go through pain. I am so sorry for that.

Hi Barnards,
So glad to hear Tessa looks taller, she was to short. Ha Ha
We will continue to pray for her. Hopefully the pain will not last to long, you have watched your children in pain to much.
We went to visit Brock's grave site Friday, and the peace sign and basketball really do fit him. There isn't a day go by without thinking about him, he was a real champ. I have always felt grateful for knowing him. He was always good for a laugh, such happy memories.

It has to be hard on all of you to even be where Brock spent alot of his days but at least you know that it was a place that took great care of him as Im sure they will Tessa. Hope things get better for each of you in the days to come. Remember Leann you have family that cares alot about you and Tessa and Lynn.

LeeAnn, I'm sure this was very hard on you, the whole thing-not just being moved to the Stem Cell ICU rooms. Having just lost your Brave young son & now having your Brave young daughter going through this. You are truly a tough family who is an inspiration to us all. Lots of Love to you from Nebraska

Hi LeeAnn and family. I just wanted to let you know that your family and Brock remain in my thoughts. Good luck with the van purchase. I'm one of those rare women (or maybe not so rare?) who never learned how to drive. I do many things in life, just not driving (grew up in a very small and isolated arctic community). Last summer, I actually mustered up all my courage, got a learner's driving licence (me and the 15 year olds in my class - they were all cheering me on!) and the week my daughter was diagnosed, I had my road lessons scheduled. Needless to say, the beautiful, glistening red car I had planned to buy will be --- once I resume my lessons - a dusty old car. Having said that, I will gladly take a dusty old car over my proposed purchase any day (and all of this assumes that one day, I will actually get my life together and learn at the grand old age of 43 how to drive!!). Shiri continues to do well and we think of our Wilms friends daily. And I remain so thankful for the help and support of our caringbridge family. Do take care. I hope Tessa comes out of surgery okay (I bet you are thoroughly sick of surgeries!). And wish me luck in my driving endeavours!

Hello Lynn, LeeAnn, and Tessa,

Just stopping in to say Hello. My what a busy week you all have had. I am sure Brock is proud of all that continues on his behalf. Superman was just that, a Superman, in everyone's heart. Its wonderful to hear how well the bench is turning out, how touching the dedication was from the talent show, and how perfect Brock's stone marker is. He surely is proud. Tessa, we'll be praying for your back surgery to go well and for a fast recovery. Thinking of you all always and sending LotsaHugs and Prayers your way~

I am sure the surgery will be a huge success. I will check in on you, to see how things went. It sounds like the talent show was difficult for you Leann, I'm sorry for that, but what a great tribute to Brock. It sounds like the whole community wants to do so much to honor his memory. That is wonderful!! I'm sure the bench will be done in time for the last day of school, you have very determined people working on that as well. I know that this week must be difficult with the surgery and all, been there done that, but please know that if you need anything at all just call. Please keep us up to date on Tessas recovery.

It was taken in 6th grade right before a basketball game. Brock and Kyle were both dressed up and ready for the game. Neither one of them looked too thrilled about playing though...haha. I gave the picture to Kyle because I thought it would be nice to share a memory of Brock with him....I really think he enjoyed it. But I also want to add that I pass by the cemetery at least twice a week on my way to Eaton...I always blow Brock a kiss! Hope he catches them!! haha....but I miss Brock so much and I know everybody else does too....lots of love and youre always in my prayers

Hey guys,
I have not visited the web site in a while but I was reading a book that had a couple of verses from the Bible in it that reminded me of Brock. It is from Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. It talks about the seasons of our lives and how there is a time for every thing. As I move into the future Brock will always inspire me and many other people to be the best that we can be. You guys are always in my thoughts and prayers. Oh and Tessa- We would all love to see you at youth. I hope your surgery goes well.

I am plotting and planning on trying to hunt you guys down while you and Tessa are in the hospital...I had to smile when I read about them wanting to do one more thing before the surgery and why they didn't think of this a bit before now!!!! I hear myself saying things like that in my head very often!!! I hope that everything goes well and she can have her surgery and be all finished with that.

We'll be going on Friday for Camryn's admit, they say we will most likely be sprung on Monday then back to clinic the following Friday, so that's when I'm going to hunt you guys down! :-)

Hey Leann, Lynn, & Tessa! Just checkin up on ya to see how your doing, I was thinking about you so I thought I would leave a few lines!! I was cleaning up my room yesterday & I picked up a group TBall picture and of course little Brock was sittin in the front row smiling so cute, we were so tiny out there playin TBall together, we always had fun though! Everytime I see a picture of Brock I smile & think about our TBall playing days or when I see a decal on the hundreds and hundreds of cars that have them, I always think of Brock & remember that little innocent smile he would always give (like he wasnt up to anything..but most of the time no one was really sure!) *Leann I know mother's day had to of been really hard, but Brock was lookin down at you the whole day (just like every other day) smiling and thinkin about how much you love eachother! He knows how many people cared so much about him and how so many people are still missing him.. and will continue to forever! Some days will be okay & some will be rough, we just have to keep our head up though and keep moving a long. Brock will always be watching over you, so if you need him.. dont be afraid that he's not there becuz he is..and always will be!! If you guys need anything at all just let me know..im always here for you!! LOVE*Always!!

You have listened to me and offered advice and thoughts to me when you've had so much more going on in your life...I can't thank you enough for that.

Hi everyone,
Just stopping by to say *HI* I think of you guys often! I found this poem on the internet and thought you might enjoy it)

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear

A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.

I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card.

A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine.

Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven..

She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside.

I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she's cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know.

That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.

She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,

Memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.

She works on my web pages to honor me, sometimes far into the night

She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells

She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth

I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth

She needs to be honored, and remembered too

Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you'll do your best

I have done all I can do; to you I'll leave the rest.

Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me

Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

Love, Brock

Take Care,
Pat and Brianna

Stopping by to let you know we haven't gotten the chance to sign very much. But have always followed your story since we were diagnosed in August of last year. Haley knew how very strong Brock & your family was(is). She really enjoyed reading your entries due to the fact that Brock was older such as Haley. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us.

LeeAnn,
I just wanted you to know that I am one of those many people who still check in on Brock's site regularly but don't often sign the guestbook. It is great to read the guestbook and see some of the people who were touched by Brock and his life.
I know so much of what you are going through right now and I wish that I could take some of the pain away for you.
I will keep coming to Brock's site and will never forget your Superman.

He will never be forgotten. He will always be there with all of you and those that knew him and loved him. Sounds like Tessa is doing great with volleyball. Good luck Tessa in softball!!!!!!!!

Hi my name is Tina Tindle and I came across your web page today as I was looking on the site for Wilm's. I am so sorry to hear about your loss, cancer is truly a tough battle. I am sure he gave it his all. I have been involved with Haley Mathis who has Wilm's and I am pursuing an advacacy with this disease so more people are aware of it. All of the Wilm's children are truely remarkable and brave. I wish you and your family the best in the world. God Bless.

Came across your journal tonight while surfing for Wilms Tumour links (our six-year-old daughter Rosie is two years and five months out of treatment - still all clear at today's check-up). I was moved by Brock's courage, personality and love of life and while I hope we never have to endure this dreadful outcome, I also pray we could find the strength to see hope in the future as you so obviously are while trying to learn how to live without your son, an unimaginable pain that only someone with the same experience could begin to understand. My thoughts are with you as I give Rosie (and her sister and two brothers) a special kiss before heading for bed.

I also want to say, thank you so much for always coming to our volleyball games. I know that you both love to watch us play and we all knowing you do. Yesurday a Logansport was the best.

hi!
i don't know you but in a way i really wish that i did. you all have been through so very much and are so strong. i can't imagine tha battles you have fought. my mother died of wilm's tumor right after her 20th birthday. i was 18 months and never had the joy of making memeories i could hold in my heart forever. my dad couldn't handle it all and left before she passed. but i am surrounded by her parents and grandparents on a regular basis. they don't talk about her really. not even her brothers mention her and that kills me inside. so i wanted to tell you that i think this journal is wonderful. i think it is freat that you write the memeories, hurts, fears, trials, and all the things that weigh on your heart regarding your precious son. i am now a mother of a wonderful baby boy who although he does not (thankfully) have cancer, has many medical problems and has spent much of his 11 onths in a children's hospital and seeing this specialist and that specialist. we did come close to losing him quite a few times but were spared. i was reading your past entries and understand the fear you mentioned. my husband has been in iraq for over a year now so my support system is less than wonderful. i find most support from the people i meet on the internet. i just wanted to thank you for your posts, your strength. i'm sure there are many peopls who's lives you have touched that you will never meet or know about. i will keep your family in my prayers. hugs..kelly and baby christian

Hi Barnards,

Just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you. LeeAnn, everything on Brock's front page echoes my feelings. I like the "PoeM", and I am thinking of adding it to Savannah's site??? Also, I have the hardest time with going to the grocery store and buying meals...without having to pick up special stuff for Savannah. Jazzy will eat anything, while SAvannah was a very specific, mono-eater! It is sooooo strange going from 4 to 3. Have you noticed how many things come in fours? Restaurant tables...most "car seating arrangements"...

I can't believe what a completely different change our lives have become. Not only we are coping with the loss of our sweet babies, but our family dynamic has taken on a such a drastic change...not to mention the loss of a role as caregiver. I know you said that Brock took more care of himself...SAvannah was so much younger (and you know I spent days just holding her)...but I know you & Lynn must feel this loss, too. I hurt everyday and miss her everyday. Sometimes I laugh...life goes on...you know? And Savannah was so positive, and Like Brock, she loved to just live and do and be.

Holding on tight here in IL...and knowing you are holding on tight there in IN. Just want to close by telling you Brock is in our hearts forever. But that is a given, isn't it?

Love, Amy (Lance, Angel Savannah & Jazzy, too)

I have read so many things about Brock that are such an inspiration to me and others. His contributions to your family and the community are just wonderful. He is missed by all of us too. Kadie often visits the sight as well and I know that she struggles with her medical problems and all that entails with a better attitude because of Brocks positive attitude. She often talks about him to her friends and tells them of his courage. Hello to Tessa and Lynn!! I hope all goes well with Tessas surgery Love ya Pam

Hi LeeAnn...You can come to my house any time for BBQ Ribs! And...when I say anytime...I mean, any time!!! Just speak with Camryn, if you want a complete meal at 2 AM, I'm on the case! :-) (we have cake too...chocolate cake with 2 inch thick cookies and cream icing!!!!)
I will be sure to say hello to the nurse's for you. We have spent time on the 5th floor before...I know that there are a few of the nurse's up there that should get some sort of medal for putting up with me! When Cam was in for the flu thing last month, I was really not so pleasant and they didn't throw me out a window. SO...I'm taking chocolate and lots of sugar for them as a Peace Offering! :-)
That Easter Egg Hunt sounds like a lot of fun! I hope that Tessa enjoys her time there and I'm sure that all of those kids will love having her as their helper!
Thanks SO very much for thinking of us through all of this. That means so much to me.
I'll be back to see how your meeting went and how you all are whenever they decide to spring us from the hospital.

You guys are definitely in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Everytime I see the decal that was made for Brock on someones car..I smile and think of Brock. Even though we miss him physically being here, we know he's watching down on us and helpin us get through everyday life. From being a sophomore at Wapahani and having to deal with the loss of 3 classmates within a few years is tough but I know that if I can get through the greiving process, you all can. Days you just feel like sitting back and crying, then do..the tears help you to get whats built up in you out and it makes you feel better. I know there are so many people that have so many reasons why they will never forget Brock and I know I have tons of my own, so never question or fear the thought of him bein forgotten because it will never happen! Im always here for anything you guys need just remember that! Good Luck in volleyball Tessa!! Love you all!!!

He was so lucky to have a loving family to share everything together i am sure that gave him his courage. I follow all of the wilms childrens diaries, i was a wilms baby myself, but i was one of the lucky ones, i am now 44 years old, i still have some health problems, but on the whole i am generally well.I am sure that Brock is with you all everyday, please take care Love from Pat Evans England

LeeAnn

There are so many things I wish I could say to you but when we're with you the words just won't come out. I remeber when your mom passed away, your dad and I came over to your house to help take care of Brock. We were in the living room, you were in the bedroom, and Lynn came out and said you wanted to talk to me. A million thoughts went through my mind as I made that short journey. 'What in the world will I say to you to make you feel better', 'I'm no good at this sort of thing, all I'll do is cry and make you feel worse'. The first thing you said to me was 'how long will it take to get over this?' I told you that my mom, at that time, had been gone for 12 years and I wasn't over it yet, so I know it takes at least that long. Everytime Jamie was in a swim meet or playing volleyball I knew my mom would have been on the front row, I missed her. Then like you said comes birthdays, holidays, etc. and the missing begins all over again. As you know, I lost my dad in 2002, since he was alone I did a lot of things with him and for him. Everytime the phone rang, for a long time, I expected it to be him. When I'm with my side of the family, cousins are about all we have left, we can talk about the good times we had with my mom and dad, (they were the 'fun' parents that always took us camping, swimming, skiing, etc.). Since I am an only child at least one of my cousins was with us all the time. The memories are good now, we can laugh.

You are right about the sorrow over losing Brock. Your dad and I read the journal and guest entries daily. I print them and cut them out to put in a scrapbook. I have one full and more that half of another one. We read the entries and cry, we pass his picture and cry, we just think about something that we did together and cry. Nothing in my lifetime as ever hit me as hard as losing Brock. I sometimes feel so selfish, I can't explain how empty I feel at times and I know your emptiness is so much greater than mine. I only wish there was someway I could make your hurt go away but I know I can't.

I truly loved Brock (I love you too 'T'). Just know that I am here for you anytime.

Love you all

Dear LeeAnn

LeeAnn, in one of your journal�s you said that your biggest fear was that Brock would be forgotten. I can assure you that will never happened in a million years. Brock has a special place in everyone�s heart. I can honestly say a day has never gone bye that I don�t think of Brock and his family. My thought and prayers are with you daily.

Everywhere I go I see Brock�s Superman decal on someone car. Katelin was so excited to put Brock�s Superman decal on her car. I think the decal is a reminder to all of us that Brock will always be with us.

Last week during spring break Katelin and I went to Indy to look for her prom dress. We spotted a scrapbook store, so we pulled over right away..HAHA. As soon as we entered the store Katelin spotted Superman (BROCK) paper and stickers. Guess whom we thought of? You guessed it, Brock. We talked about what type of page we were going to do for Brock. Katelin is making some special pages just for Brock. Brock was right there with us during our day of shopping. LeeAnn, this is just another example of how Brock (SUPERMAN)is always in our hearts and will never be forgotten.

Katelin�s 13-th Birthday party was at the, Selma Lion�s Club. Katelin, Aubrey, and Tessa did the decoration. Brock and Russell really helped me out more than I can say. Russell brought his really big and very loud speakers. Brock set up all his stereo equipment. Brock also took the time to download on his laptop every possible song that the kids would want to dance to. Russell and Brock did a great job being the DJ�s that night. They were true professionals. The kids had so much fun that night. It was truly thanks to Brock and Russell for the great job they did. I can still remember how happy Brock was that night. He was doing something he loved to do. He was a proud little man that night. That was truly a night to remember. Randy and I have many memories of Brock. This is just one the many fond memories of Brock (SUPERMAN)Barnard, that I wanted to share with all of you. Memories!!!!!!!

Love, Nanette

I am a friend of the Olson family who lost their daughter Savannah last week. I am so sorry you all have to go through this. Please know that there are a lot of people who pray for you and grieve with you. I also have a daughter named Tessa. Good luck with the surgery. I am sure Brock will be watching over Tessa getting her through the surgery safely.

I am glad to hear you guys had a good time! I saw Tessa at the movies tonight.....
(well really last night its like 2 in the morning! lol) she said she had a good time and so did everyone else! Good to know...:)
I was watching this church service that was on TV the other night and it was talking about were it says in the bible that everything works for the good. I just kinda laughed to myslef knowing that that is not ture. If everything did work for the good, why did Brock pass? I do understand that his life touched many many people but it could have touched so many more if he could have passed old and weak, not from cancer, but just from being old. If everything worked for the good why does anyone pass? Why do children get left behind by troubled parents? Why do any bad things happen. All of this went through my mind in about a 10 second period. Little did i know while i was thinking all of this, that was exacly what the speacher was thinking. After about a 10 second period of silence
(and of my thinking) he laughed and said "why do people always take this one small verse out of the bible and put it toward everypart of there life? You cannot tell me that a little boy being beaten by his mother will work out for the good! You cannot tell me that a inocent man getting killed by a druck driver will work for the good! You just cannot tell anyone that and they belive it!"
The word AMEN was running through my head after every word he spoke. The point of me writing all of this is that bad things will never work out for the good. But that GOOD things can COME OUT of BAD things. God can make some situation that really just bites the big one, be turned into a situation you can learn somthing from, or you can teach someone else somthing from it.
I think that Brocks passing was one of theses situations. His passing was not for the good. Just good things just came out of it and they still will as long as we let God make good things. I know that i was able to witness to many people the next day at school, and so did my other chirstian friends.
I love you all so much and i pray for you all every day. And i hope that everyone who is reading this and still has the question "why?" let God make this hard and sad situation turn into a good incounter. Brock is up in heaven right now and he is just longing for the day we can all fly around in heaven with him...
I love you Superman Fly Big and Fly Strong...

Hi LeeAnn - I just wanted to stop by and let you know that you and your whole family are still in our thoughts and prayers. Your post before your holidays on the difference between fear and grief - fear when one is living with this disease vs grief of a battle lost - helped me when I most needed it. I fear grief, if that makes any sense. I fear the darkness that might come if we lose this battle. When I read your words, it was like a light came on that it was okay right now to be living with this fear and to not be quite so afraid of what might lie ahead. It's hard to articulate - you did a much better job at this than I am doing - but you just touched a chord in me when I was scared and worried and living in fear. Even with a son lost, you take the time to reach out to other parents. Thank you so much.

~*Good-Bye My Angel Dear*~
My days draw long and weary
When you're no longer near.
Confidence is filled with questions
Strength replaced with fear.

The assuredness that I awake with each day
Is nowhere to be found,
As though my dreams and aspirations
Were buried underground.

I hear your voice being carried by wind.
Like you fingers through my hair.
I close my eyes and remember your kiss
And with that you were there.

So with nothing left but one thing to say
To resolve my heartbreak here,
Good-bye my darling and my love,
Good-bye my angel dear.

Dear Barnard Family,
Hey guys, you guys are so special to me. I know in my heart that Brock is in heaven right now. I think about Brock everyday and I can't believe that it actually happened,it seems like just yesterday he called my house to talk to Kyle. I didn't know Brock very well, but when he came over to our house to see my brother it always put all of us in a better mood. I think that Brock was sent to all of us for a reason, and I know that he has touched everybody that has ever heard his story. I will always remember him and you guys will always be in my prayers. I love you guys!!

Memories are sometimes tough... but without them you wouldn't be whole. Leave the stress behind and unwind. That's what vacation is all about, right? Oh, and don't clean out the outlets too much... save some for those going later.(like me) :-) And if you get a chance... make fun of my dad in a swimsuit!!

Dear Barnard family,
You all know how much I love volleyball, now when I am out on the court and we are doing a hard drill where I think I can go on no longer, I think of Brock. How he was in pain for nine and a half years and here I'm complaining about 45 seconds of "pain". He has inspired me to be a better athlete and most importantly a better person.

I remember when the Brock-Athon came around, all I wanted to do was help and raise as much money as possible to help you all. I just wanted to help because that it is all I knew how to do. when I look back on everything, my only regret is that I never really got to know Brock really well. When we would see each other in the halls we would say "hi, how ya doing" and when we would see each other at rock-n-bowl "hi, how ya doing". But from what I did talk to him he made me a better person. He always enlightened the room whereever he was. He had more school spirit then the mascot...wait that's me...:) He was soooo proud to be a member of the Dawg Pound and be at the volleyball games cheering louder than us on the bench! He was a terrific kid!

I remember after Girl volleyball county Brock came into the locker room with us and I had jsut got done telling Danielle how my foot was killing me, then Brock walks in and I just said to myself,"Get over it you baby" We all sit back and complain when we get a paper cut but Brock never ONCE complained. When he was in the locker room, right before his brain surgery, we were talking to him and he was just fine and you would have never thought anything was wrong, at all!

Brock was an inspiration to me, my family, the school, the community, and the whole world. As I was reading some of the entries on here I can tell that people all over the world were touched by Brocks battle. If it were me fighting the battle, I know I coudln't do it!

LeeAnn as you know my story of my brother and his battle with Wilms Tumor you can tell how big of a fighter Brock was. My brother fought it for 2 years and thats all he could handle, Brock 9 1/2. What a fighter!

Everyday I try harder than ever to reach my goals and dreams in life because I know how Brock was, if he wanted something he was DETERMINED to get it!

Brock is still in my prayers along with all of you! I love you all!

Just stopping by to say hello and that we are thinking and praying for you. I can't even imagine the incredible hurt and saddness you all have in missing Brock...He indeed was a very special young man, Always proving to us that he was Superman for the courage he showed all of us. I know he will see you all some day and will love to show you around the heavens. Till then, I know Brock looks down from above and gently dries each tear...His presence is for always. Praying for much peace for your aching hearts, Sending you all LotsaHugs~

Looking back on the week that Brock left us to be with God I think that I would have to say i am more numb than i have been yet. Brock was a great kid and i know that you all have heard this before...but what can i say all i am doing is speaking the truth.
I guess that the knowledge that Brock is gone is just now really just starting to kick in. I may not know what the Barnard famliy is going thorugh and i can only imagine the pain, but i know how i feel and i would hate to feel any worse.
When i found out that Brock passed away i tried to figure out anyway to be mad and blame God for his doings. But i found no way for me to be able to be mad or blame him for it. I think that some of the reasons for me not being able to is because i know that Brock knew God and loved him very much. And i also know that God not only saved him from the pain, but also helped him inspire people for 10 long battleing years.
As you can see by all the signing on the website
(that Leeann did a GREAT job on) many many people where hit hard by Brock and his flight. I love you Brock as do many other people. I will never forget you..and you will always be deep in my heart and i will never forget how much you inspired me to become a better person.
We love you SUPERMAN and know you are flying BIG and STRONG.
Fly with pride....

Muncie, IN USA - Tuesday, March 16, 2004 3:45 PM CST

LeeAnn, I'm writing this one rather late, or perhaps early. You guys are really on my mind right now. (Thanks for the great timing!) Even though we teach right across the hall from each other, we haven't really talked about these past four weeks too much. I know that the halls of the middle school aren't always the best places to talk about things such as this, but if you ever do want to share anything, I'm right there.

I do want to tell you, as I am sure that you already know, that Brock was a wonderful person whom anyone would be proud to know. I believe that people often sought some sort of a relationship with Brock just to be able to experience him and what he was all about. Perhaps it was for selfish reasons, but then again, why does anyone want to be around someone great? People want to be inspired. People want to care. People want to love and be loved. Brock enabled people to feel all of these things.

I am so thankful for the time in which I was able to spend with Brock as his offseason basketball coach while he was in eigth grade. Brock epitomized everything that a coach could look for in a person's character. I read the piece in Brock's obituary about his basketball days and copied a section of it for the kids whom I coached this past season just to make sure they knew what values an athlete should have and to make sure that they knew how Brock was. Brock always put his team first. I remember seeing (and hearing) Brock standing up on the sidelines rooting on his teammates. I also remember seeing the look of satisfaction in his teammates eyes when he would hit a "3". He pulled for everyone else, so eveyone else pulled for him.

He never gave up. He never complained about anything, especially being tired. I didn't even know that Brock was going through chemo treatments until halfway through that season. I am sure that at times, Brock had to be absolutely exhausted, but he never showed it. I know that Brock had a perspective on life that not many of us will ever really grasp. It seemed that Brock was actually thankful for the opportunity to get tired.

Selfishly, I am thrilled that I received the opportunity that I did to really get to know Brock. We talked about Brock at the beginning of this basketball season and I will continue to do that as long as I coach or am around students because I want everyone to know what kind of person that Brock was and what type of presence that he continues to have.

I used to pray for Brock quite often as did the other fifty some members at the little country church that I attend. In the past four weeks, LeeAnn, my prays shifted from Brock towards the rest of your family and all others that have been impacted by Brock. Brock has already made it now and doesn't really need those prayers any longer. We do. I do. I hope that I can apply the same type of focus and spirit to my life and my endeavors that Brock displayed for us.

LeeAnn, I read about how you felt angry. I think that is very fair. Why Brock? It doesn't seem fair. It's not fair. God has shown us in the past that He picks those with the strongest shoulders to carry the heaviest loads. It has all been part of His plan. God must have felt that people's lives would not have been changed in the same manner had He chosen someone weak to carry the load.

LeeAnn, I want to close this note by saying that I think that you and your family are amazing people. Not only did Brock carry a heavy load, but I know that the three of you were right beside him helping throughout his journey. The four of you inspired an entire community as well as many others spread throughout the state and nation. Thank you for your examples.

Love you all...

It is so natural to be missing your son and to be grieving. Please don't ever think that your entries always have to be positive and upbeat. I know that I need the chance on occasion to express my pain and fears in dealing with my daughter's cancer. As strong as we "cancer parents" are, there are lots of times when we are paralyzed by fear and grief and need an outlet for that. And I cannot even begin to imagine, and pray that I will not have to experience, losing a child to cancer. Just know that there are lots of us checking in on you and hoping that in some small way, our thoughts and prayers directed your way will help ease the burden, if even only for a minute.

Hi Barnard family! I was not here the day Brock passed away, but I am very sorry for your loss. Brock was probably the nicest, most polite kids I have ever met. I watched him grow up to be such a wonderful young man. Anyway, I loved the photos and send my best wishes to your family.

Just checking in. The quiet and what would I be doing ifs are the hardest thing. To go from several days a week as an out patient and several days a month inpatient to nothing without your angel is an abrupt change. I scrapbooked like a maniac the first few months after Andrew was gone. It allowed me to be with him and relive the fun.
I had to redo many a tear stained page but it was indeed my connection with him. It was a difficult day when I ran out of events in Andrew's life. I have not scrapped the sad but someday it will come, just not yet. If you have never tried it, I recommend it. Go into it with the pix of the good times during cancer treatments. Andrew has two full albums and another of his Make a Wish. I will stop going on and on because who knows you may already be addicted but if not give it a try. God bless you all and your healing.

I just recently read all your entries, and through my tears saw the strength in your family and was truly inspired. Stay strong. Just like Rob said, take one more step for Brock. His strength and Superman abilities will inspire me for the rest of my life. How blessed I feel to have known you guys! Love you.

Lynn, Leann and Tessa,

The love and hope we have in Jesus Christ, as well as the memories we all have of Brock are the ultimate comfort in our time of grief. Even though I live 1,000 miles away now, I grew up in Selma riding the school bus with Brock, getting to know him through helping w/ Selma UMC's children's ministry and through various things through the Liberty-Perry School district.

What a sweet young man Brock was when I was around him! I never heard him utter complaints, even before he went into remission as a little guy!! I truly have faith and confidence that when he left this earth, he stood before the Lord and heard the words, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Our loss here on earth is truly heaven's gain; your family continues to be in my thoughts and prayers!! :)

With love,

Adrienne

Brock an Tessa came to my moms daycare, and every time i think of Brock i picture him with a shiny head and a runny nose.

TO THE FAMILY OF BROCK BARNARD:
I NEVER HAD TO PRIVILEGE OF MEETING BROCK. I KNEW BROCK THROUGH HIS "MAMAW" JUDY. I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH HER AND HAVE FOLLOWED BROCK'S PROGRESS FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW. THE FIRST TIME I HEARD ABOUT BROCK'S CONDITION I SENT HIM SOME MONEY SO MAYBE HE COULD BUY SOMETHING HE REALLY WANTED OR NEEDED. I HAD HIGH HOPES OF MEETING BROCK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST TRIP BACK TO INDIANA IN 26 YEARS, BUT I WAS ABOUT A MONTH OR SO TOO LATE. MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT LOVED BROCK SO MUCH. MY PRAYERS WILL BE WITH THE FAMILY.

Brock: I know you are still there and is reading this from heaven. I just want to let you know that in the time that I got to spend with you it was great. From car shooping with Kent and you opening the door to a (expensive car) becuase for some reason it wasnt locked. Playing pool at the student center. Watching you and Kent spend hours and hours working on your cars in the summer while I whined and sat in your house playing freecell or watching tv. Listening to Kent talk about what you guys are doing to the computers todya when you built my mom and dad a computer, and then taking you to my moms house to figure out what was wrong with it. If I remember you said that you werent leaving that house till you got that f***er fix, and then we took you to eat maderites. The lovely night we had when we a fun night of all us kids while kents and your parents went to eat, we played uno, and ate pizza and i played uno with tessa and sam over and over, while you and kent where playing some kind of nintendo, and then we were trying to find a cell phone cover for me. Everytime me you and kent would go somewhere and i would always let you sit infront becuase i didnt want you to feel ignored if that was possible. The times me and kent probably bugged you by coming over just popping up at your house becuase you didnt feel like going anywhere so we came to you. The last few time when we watch the celebrity basketball game, i gave you dorothys valetine, and you made fun of our class becuase we spelled your wrong on a card, and kent making fun of me becuase i forgot to put the movie in the case when we returned it. I just want you to know that me and kent will always miss you and that we will see you up in heaven.

You have to be the strongest, most patient person I have ever known. During the darkest hours, you managed to have a good word for everyone. We came to help you get through these times, and yet, you seemed to help me get through it. I will be a better person because of you. You know that I love you....thank you for being my friend and I hope I can be as much of one to you.

Coming back to his page again and again, I am touched by the outpouring of love and prayer here for you all. I hope that you are comforted by it...Brock was such a great kid! I especially enjoyed the stories by Mamaw Judy. :-) I continue to hold your family in prayer.

In Loving Memory of
*Brock Barnard*

In the light we saw his battle
over taking, over powered

Always fighting for his life,
Always shooting just right

Through the years he traveled on
always standing big and strong

He was the one we looked up to
even though
his battle was ver tough to go through

We were his rock and still we are,
even now when he is gone,

But hes up in heaven
just singing his song

So now, but not forever
We Love You Brock, Solong

It might not be very good but it came from my heart....I am praying for you all...Brock, you will stay in my heart, thoughts, and prays. I love you

Brock,
well lets see i only talked to u a few times in the many years that i knew you...i know u and my bro were kinda close and that u helped him out with his car stereo i still remember coming over to ur house with my bro one day and i fell down the stairs...i dont know if u remember that or if u even saw it but i remember doing it...i wrote a little poem for u..its goes a little something like this...

the death of a teenage boy
many hearts it did destroy
over the years he fought
through more then anyone could have ever thought
some knew him well and some not at all
but there will always be things about him for which we can all recall
such as his courage and strength
and his desire to help anyone at an arm�s length
it�s made everyone think
about his one last blink
did he feel pain
or a peaceful death did he sustain
to heaven I�m sure he went
in God�s arms he was sent
to a place of never ending love
where he can soar about us like a beautiful dove
we will always remember his fight
and the fact that he was always an angel without flight
but now he can fly
and for that his spirit will never die

everything about u inspires me...that poem comes straight from my heart...i guess maybe everything happens for a reason and God works in mysterious ways i think remembering that helps me make it through these tough times...i think u were always an angel without wings...now its just a little easier for u to do ur job since now u can fly...i guess i can truely say that Superman is my hero..always has been and always will be...i love u....and i will always remember u and ur fight and the impact u had on my life and the lives of so many other people...u r the reason i stay true to myself...u taught me without even knowing all the great lessons in life that not many people learn...i thank u so much for being the worlds greatest teacher...once again i love u and thank u

Brock,
Hey there superman. I know that i never really knew you that well and i will always wish that i would have got to know you better and will always wonder what that would have been like. I know that you were a great kid and a lot of people love you...as do i. Everything was beautiful. You are the strongest person that i ever knew and will ever know. I love your famliy very much and i will pray everyday that i will get closer to them and will be there for them in anyway that i can.

If you ever need anything please call me...I will always be here for you. I love you!

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity. 1 Timothy 4:12

Brock,
Whats up man, i remember when we played on the selma all-star team together and you would always go out and do the coin toss before every game, and you always did a good job in games because you had that natural swing! I wondered how we won so many games and pulled some off that seemed impossible, but when you have superman on your side you're always sure to come through on top, you also had a jumper in basketball if i remember right everytime we faced each other, i also remember sometimes when i would say dumb stuff at the diamonds just hangin out and you would correct me on it haha those were the days, i also remember when you DJed Katelyn Seagrave's party at the Lions Club that was awesome! Over the years we also drifted apart because i wasn't in selma that much, but you know i never forgot you, you've touched me in a way no one ever has and ever could, and i know everything will always be alright coz you're still here in my mind, swinging a bat, shooting a basketball, or just hangin out, i'll never forget any of it, u know i got love for you and i'll be thinkin of you on the Baseball Diamond this spring. I'll see you again someday, but until then Rest In Peace my friend...

Brock-
*Brock was different than other people..he was going through so much in his life but yet he always seemed to have a smile on his face. There was nothing you couldnt talk to Brock about..no matter what he was always there when needed. I remember the good days of Brock & me playin TBall..we were only about 5 or 6 years old..we had no worries, just days of playin out in the dirt on the tball field..those were the good days..I will never forget at one of our games the ball flew right past him & he just turned & looked at me..then we both laughed and took off running after it..he was such a wonderful guy..I have never heard one bad thing about him..you either loved him or didnt know him. I'll always remember the good times with Brock..he truly was superman..no matter what he kept fighting! He is the bravest kid I ever knew.. and no matter what I'll never forget him or the way he carried himself & so many other people.. he touched so many hearts..forever a superhero..the bravest..Love you Brock!! Also..prayers to Leann, Lynn, & Tessa..im here no matter what u need..love you guys..Brock is watching over you now..even though its hard to let go of him being here..we'll always have his memories and be able to look back and smile from the things we remember about Brock! <3 Love Always

There are no words that could express how I am feeling about this or any words to express Brock. He IS and always will be Superman...he was like my superman. I love to reminsce on the good times me and him had like how he use to call me Naked and so I would call him Clothed. lol and how when his 90 days got up we would joke on how we were goin to go on our "real" first date. The only thing that kills me is I never got to say goodbye. But i did not attend the funeral or calling hours bc i wanted to remember brock with his smile and the last memories i had about him. I remember writing in the huge cards in English and people teasing me on how i practically wrote a book to him. I never forget that u always have to tell people how u feel bc u have to live for the moment and i intended to make sure Brock knew that I absolutely loved him with all my heart along with the family...but you just have to remember he is now our guardian angel and is still fighting...not for his life...but all of ours!

Hey..oh man there are so many things to say..I don't even know where to start. First of all I just want to tell LeAnn, Lynn, and Tessa how proud I am of them..they were so strong through all of this. You guys are great and in my prayers. I love you all. Brock was such a strong boy. I loved him so much. I know there isnt much I could say that hasnt been said..but there was so much more in Brock that words cant express..they only come from the heart. I wish I could of hung out with you more Brocko..and spent more time with you and I will always regret that we didnt but I definitely will always remember the times that we did talk. You are always in my heart buddy. I remember the D.C. trip..lol member bushy..haha that was great. I found of few pictures of Brock from that trip and I just couldnt take it. I hate to draw any tears because I know Brock wouldnt want us layin around cryin..but its just so hard. I remember talkin to Brock about driving and him always giving me tips ..lol lord knows i need them. Oh man this is so hard. ... Well if there is any one person i would like to be more like it is Brock.. he was my hero and my inspiration..so when i wake up in the morning and start my days off bad i will definitely think of him. There wont be a day when I dont have him in my mind..or heart or memories. Today after his funeral I went to Meijer and I saw superman pajamas..oh man I just couldnt help but cry. I just wish I could of told Brock what he meant to me. I get alot of inspiration from him bc my aunt has cancer..and is fighting the battle and has been for 4 or 5 years. So I just tell her about you when we're down. Well sry this is so long..lol I just have so much i could go on..but LeAnn I want you to know I love you so much..and you had the best son God could give..and one day when I have a son I want him to be like Brock..and I will tell him stories and memories of how brave he was. You are so strong..I know your heart is broken. I dont kno what I would do. But hey Brocko wait for me at the gates..k? i will sure love to see your face. You'll be one of the first I look for. whew..well I love you Superman..and LeAnn and Lynn and Tessa..always in my prayers <3 Kennedy

Brock,
We didn't talk as much as we used to, but it was a joy to have a friend like you. You were always there to help anyone who needed it. You always put a smile on everyones face. We'll always have awesome memories of you. You will always be with us in our hearts. I'm glad that I got really know SUPERMAN* I love you.

Brocko..
I know we slowly drifted away over these past few years...but I will always remember the good times we did share. Just knowing that I could always have you to fall back on...you would always talk to me when I needed you...and somehow you always managed to make me feel good about myself. I recently heard a comment about how everybody has their own personal heaven. I believe that you are up in your own heaven right now havin a blast...with all the things you love...basketball...cars...computers...girls! I am going to miss you like crazy...and I already do. You are going to make a SUPER angel. You are my superman and you're forever in my heart. I love you.

Hey man i cant beleive this happened but you know what? I will always have a place in my heart for Brock Barnard. We were close but then started to drift away. I will never ever forgive myself for going away from you and your wonderful family. You will be greatly missed by everyone in my family. Everyone that i have talked to have never said a bad thing about Brock. You will always be one of the best freinds i have ever had. You made me a better person and changed my life completely and help me open my eyes and see that everything in my life is okay. Your a superhero, but in my eyes your more of a man that SUPERMAN!

Im so glad you were in my life. I will never forget you and all the things we did. The day we met Magic Johnson at Ball State was great. I was about to leave and you said "You little sissy, just wait a little longer." Thats how you were stronger than anyone. I just want to thank God that i had you in my life. My graditude goes out to your mom, dad, and sister. They are wonderful people. Now, when i have kids i can tell them that i really did know Superman.

We were thinking of you today and saying special prayers for Brock. Its good to hear how special yesterdays calling was, nothing but the best for Superman! We can almost picture everything,with nothing sissy of course. Just want to let you all know we think and pray for you all often. We are so very greatful that you have all shared your special guy with all of us out here...we won't forget him...I suspect he's become leader of the pack with the angels in heaven and have already started his own basketball team :> DO take care of yourselves, we pray for much peace and fond rememberances to comfort you...LotsaHugs to you all always~

Amazing! Even more amazing is that Brock touched so many more hearts and lives then could ever have possibly made it to his calling! I live rather far away, but if I were there I would have went. Having a daughter diagnosed with Wilm's also I feel such a special bond with all of our Wilm's families and Brock was such a source of inspiration for me when fighting for my daughter! Much love and continued prayers to the Barnard family!

Another little fighter!

I HAVE THIS IN A FRAME IN OUR HOUSE AND IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AND WHEN I READ IT, IT MADE ME THINK OF YOU GUYS AND BROCK.
AS I WATCHED THE CHILDREN SWINGING
AT THE PLAYGROUND IN THE PARK,
I COULDN'T HELP BUT THINK OF YOU.
THEIR LAUGHS HAD TOUCHED MY HEART.
THE FIRST TIME I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES,
AND YOU GAZED UP AT ME.
I WAS CONTENT TO HOLD YOU THROUGH THE NIGHT.
YOU HAD WON MY HEART, YOU SEE.
I THOUGH ABOUT THE DAYS
OF TRUCKS AND BALLS AND BATS.
IT HAPPENED MUCH TOO FAST.
I CAN STILL SEE YOU STANDING THEIR.
DID I SAY I WAS PROUD OF YOU?
AS MY MIND DRIFTED BACK TO THE PAST AND PRESENT,
I TRIED TO REMEMBER REGRETS.
THERE WERE NONE, NOT EVEN A FEW,
GOD HAD GIVEN ME THE BEST.

THAT MEANS SO MUNCH TO ME THAT LITTLE SAYING IT JUSTS TOUCHES MY HEART AND I HOPE IT DOES YOURS.
I KNOW I CAN'T SAY THE RIGHT WORDS OR DO ANYTHING TO MAKE IT BETTER. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL!!!!!

No words to describe the pain WE ALL feel in the loss of a child. God gives them to us .... and then sometimes ... unfairly takes them away WITHOUT us knowing why.

Columbia, CA USA - Thursday, February 19, 2004 12:01 AM CST

Just wanted all of you to know how VERY SPECIAL Brock was. I will cherish his 'Hey Mamaw', my 'Hey what' forever. I need to tell you a couple stories:

He started playing 'T' ball when he was five, I don't know how many of you have been to a 'T' ball game, but there is very little interest in being in the field. Lots of caps trying to move dirt, lots of spinning around on one foot, jumping up and down, etc. All was quiet, Brock was playing between 1st and 2nd and he yells 'Hey Mamaw come here I got somein' to tell you'. I told him he had to wait 'til his team was batting, then he could tell me.

LeeAnn, Brock, and Tessa rode to FL with us in June 1994. Brock, Tessa, and I spent the whole week in the pool. They flew home on Sunday, June 26. As they got to the gate, Brock turned around and said 'Hey Mamaw' I said my usual'Hey what' and he said 'I really had a good time'. Of course, I started crying. On the following Monday, July 4th, his 10 year battle started.

Just felt I needed to relay these two stories. There are many, many more--he had me wrapped around his little finger and he knew it.

I love you Brock

I am so very sorry to hear of *Brock's* passing. Please know you and your family will forever be in my prayers. May God Bless every one of you.

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.

--Author Unknown

Sending lots and lots of BIG hugs and MUCH love your way!!!

God saw he was getting tired and the cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him and whispered "Come with me". With tearful hearts we watched him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, he only takes the best.

I couldn't do anything but cry, I know brock and i weren't close...but not a day went by that I didn't think of him. I miss him like crazy already. I remember the the last time I saw him at the Dinner for him at Wapahani. I have a picture of him and I from that night standing together. He looked as if he was doing great...even if he wasn't you couldn't tell...he never let anyone see past that big smile of his. I am deeply saddened by his passing and I wish the best for you guys.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you , No words can express how I am feeling for you all at this time of sorrow I had only meet Brock a few times at Lorrie and Daves but what a strong and brave young man he was, He had more courage and will than anyone I know, Just know that he is not suffering any longer and that he made a ever lasting impact on some many peoples lives. I know that we ask why ... But I truly feel GOD for what ever reason Monday needed an angel that was unlike no other before . Brock truly was One of a kind... Treasure all that he gave you in life. Be strong... He will Never be forgotten....

Surely Brock is now free from pain. We are all so blessed to have had you share Brock with us. He has touched so many lives. What a legacy!
I pray that you all feel Brocks presence in all that you do....
Keeping you close in my heart and prayers..........

We'll always remember the crazy, skipping run of the little lefty T'ball player. We're so very sorry....our prayers are with you in the days and years ahead. We know a little of what the cancer journey is like,and now you know the hardest part of all. Rest assured that many teenage boys will be hugged a little longer tonight because of Brock's struggle, courage and example. He led a life of great significance and brevity. He took a shortcut home.

Dear Barnards,I just heard the news of Brock's passing, I want you to know that I am always going to keep him in my heart, and I will keep u all in my prayers, Brock was a Very strong boy, and I will always remember the times we had at Grandma Loretta's house at Christmas, and holloween, and how Brock used to make us all laugh, and show us his yoyo tricks. although I haven't been able to be very close to him for a while, I still feel like we are as close as we were back then. we all will miss him very much, and will always remember him, and how he was always smiling, dispite how he felt, and he managed to get through it. In my eyes, and in the eyes of many, he was a hero. I know he will be shining down on us from heaven, and keeping watch over Tessa,and his mom and dad, and the rest of his family.Lynn and Leanne just be strong, and know that he will no longer have to suffer, and he won't have to fight anymore, be thankful for that. much love, and prayers to all....

Congratulations Brock on that 8 pounds!!!! That is great news!
So sorry to hear that it was such a long day and that you had to drive home in that nasty snow again! I'm looking for my own personal island where it HAS to be at least 72 year round! You all are invited!!!

I am so happy that you are all home and hope that the eating well continues and that Brock continues to get stronger and feels much better!!!

Hi Brock,

After waiting to be called back to clinic (sometimes the waits can be rather long at Savannah's hospital!), having your blood drawn, waiting for the lab to send in the counts, AND THEN having to take 2 calcium tests...well, I sure am glad that you received your chemo. It's such a long, stressful day without the extra complications! Your mom says you have to keep plugging along...and you've proven to us all that you can do just that. You and your family have always been such an inspiration to us.

LeeAnn-- Tho' I've had many restless nights in the past month & half, I haven't had a middle-of-the-night computer session since our phone call. Just wanted to say thanks for the call early that a.m. I'll always carry with me how much you helped me get through that day...you started my day off with confidence as a mommy (esp. a cancer mommy), which all need every once in a while!

Hugs, The Olsons (Amy, Lance, Savannah & Jasmin)

It's nice to read that Brock is feeling a bit better and that he's eating again!!! I hope that he keeps getting stronger and is able to keep eating real food so he isn't stuck with that pump for long.
I hope that your clinic visit goes well (and that the roads are better...it's not that bad here where we are and I'm still afraid to go out driving too far.)

I didn't realize that I was going to be stuck away from my computer for so long...but, I was thinking of you all and you're always in my prayers.

Hello to Brock and too bad about the TPN. LeeAnn, it is difficult to make your child do something they don't want to but you have to know, that it is what Brock needs right now (sorry, Brock). I hope he puts on weight quickly and can get back to regular food. Do take care and thank you for updating us.

My son Patrick, who is 4 1/2 years old was diagnosed with Clear Cell Sarcoma Stage II of the kidney in February 2001. We are nearing our 3 year aniversary and I still think about and worry about recurrance everyday.

I stop in and check on Brock often, sometimes I'm just too much of an emotional, psycho-mom to find something to say though. I am thrilled to read that his chemo visit went well for him...he must be an amazing guy, a 6 hour visit to clinic and still having a sense of humor! He's my hero!
I hope that lingering effects are starting to fade away and he is feeling better very soon!!

Happy (late) Birthday to Tessa! I still like to go to Chuck E. Cheese and I'm a hundred years past 14! :-)

We will be heading back to Riley on 02/10. Maybe we will be able to meet up then.

So glad to hear you are Home! Did your mom do okay with the TPN hookup or did you have to help?

We will be thinking of you esp on Tuesday for your depsipeptide infusion and that your ECGs show no changes and that you tolerate it well. Be sure and give your mom and dad a huge hug for being the awesome supportive parents that they are and one for your sis Tessa, too. LotsaHugs and prayers for you all~

Hi my name is Jenna and I came across Brock's page. I was born with a rare debilitating bone disease. I have been having a lot of problems with my jaw and I am just on plain liquids for now. So I can relate to how Brock is feeling, in some ways, even though my situation is a bit different. His story inspired me, and it helps me to never give up with my fight against my bone condition.

I found Brock's website address on Kamryn's website. Our life has also been touched by Wilm's. We were only allowed a year to fight. I can not imagine a fight that has lasted as long as yours. I remember the same words as you said about a removing the tumor a little chemo and it all being history. A year later our baby was gone and the history was not what we had all hoped. Keep the fight going. I know how hard it must be to wake up every day and have a new set of problems. It seems unreal that this childhood cancer could still be causing you so much problem. I hope that it realizes soon that you are no longer a "child" and to leave you alone. I know God is looking over you, I can tell by your srength.

Hello. My daughter was dx with Stage IV FH Wilm's Feb. 03, 2003...does Brock have un favorable or favorable Wilm's. My biggest fears right now are relapse as Kamryn, my daughter, has been stumbling alot and complaining of pain behind her eyes. I would love to get in touch with you and just e mail about experiences etc. So glad to hear the Brock is doing so well!

PS I also wanted to know if Brock is part of Chemo Angels? Let me know, if not I would love to fill you in on this amazing organization.

Hi Brock,

I met your mom nearly 3 years ago on the Ped-Onc on-line support group, and she carried me through my daughter's first treatment for Wilms' (since then Savannah has relapsed twice). Just wanted to check in on you to see how surgery went. Savannah was in-patient herself last week with sepsis, so I couldn't check in to see how you came through. I should've have known! Your mom has always shared all these awesome stories about you & Tessa (ok...don't get too mad at her, since that's what Ped-Onc is for. Had it not been for her sharing all your triumphs...I wouldn't be as strong of as mom for my Savannah as I am!) . Anyway, you are a fighter. You have the spirit and will that we see and will always wish we had ourselves.

Oh...BTW...Savannah is EXTREMELY fond of her floor at Hope Hospital, too. When she is in ER or PICU, the smile finally is turned on when she hears she is going to HER FLOOR with HER friends and HER nurses who all know that yes, she prefers the cherry Tylenol. Hey, it's the little things.

AFter you're done reading my novel to you, please tell your mom happy belated birthday. Just know that you have a cheerleading squad of your own in Woodridge, IL.

Brock: We have never met before, but about a year or so ago I sent $10.00 to help with your care and so maybe you could just buy something you wanted. I never got a reply, but have kept up to date on your progress through Judy Sutton. I went to high school with Judy. I think she's your grand mother, but not quite sure of the relationship. My prayers and thoughts have been with you for over a year now and I'm so glad to hear that you are home now. I got your website from Judy and finally got into it. Is LeeAnne your mother? Would love to hear from you sometime.

I want to thank all of you for taking me into your lives. Since my "only baby" has a cat (no kids), you, Tessa, and Haley are very special to me. And please, Brock, remeber that I was responsibe for your first busted lip!

I will never forget our trip to FL just the week before all of this started. You and I spent the whole week in the swimming pool. As you, Tessa, and your mom boarded the plane to come home, you turned and said "thanks mamaw, I really had fun". That meant so much to me.

You truly are our 'SUPERMAN' too.

And Tessa, I have found out that when you are playing volleyball, softball (and now going into basketball), that I can not be responsible for my actions if I am on the front row. I 'might' become one of those grandparents that other people wish would "shut up". Keep up the good work and I will continue to be excited, OK!

I love you guys---

That said, I've been reading over your journal entries and you totally amaze me. I'm glad that you came through your surgery well and it sounds like you are such a wonderful guy. I remember back when I first got my driver's license and all I wanted to do was drive, drive, and drive some more... then I realized how much gas actually costs ;) I hope now that your surgery is over you can drive a little more... I know I love to get in the car and crank up the radio with a little Tim McGraw and drive the countryside :)
It's always great to reach a milestone in life... I myself will be turning 21 on October 27th (the parents are thrilled about that!)... but I bet for you it's even more special and wonderful with all you've been through.
You sound so strong and I just wanted to let you know I'll be checking up on you a lot and sending you messages and such. Please stay strong and continue to amaze us all.
Thank your parents for introducing us to your story as it's definitely made a difference in my life :)

Here's to a great recovery *cheers*

LeeAnn,
I am right there with you! My heart and mind are on you all through the day and evening. I have been through similar times - my son was born with multiple birth defects, and my husband passed away ten years ago after an unsuccessful kidney transplant. I truly understand what it's like to live at the hospital and to feel like you would give ANYTHING to trade places with them and be in that bed instead. God is great!!! I have seen it over and over and over. He can do anything, and I know he can heal Brock. I think Brock is front and center in front of the throne---how could he not be, with all the prayers going up! God bless you all, and keep sending good news.

Hey LeeAnn that's the opposite of what I do, I always leave the house looking like a bomb site so that any burglar looking in through the window will either think that nobody would go away leaving a house looking like that so we must be coming back any minute, or think that we'd already been burgled so they wouldn't bother breaking in!! Well that's my excuse for not doing any housework anyway ;o)

Way to go Brock, I well remember that sudden freedom when I passed my driving test - lost count of the number of times I told my Mum I was just driving her car down to the school but drove all across the countryside just for the feel of being in charge (I hope you're not doing this, I suppose I shouldn't be giving you bad ideas!!). Will be thinking about you all day Monday, and look forward to hearing how well you are doing. Fingers crossed and storming Heaven (all bases covered).

My daughter Pam also has a brain tumor and has been fighting the fight since November 4th, 2002, after the birth of her daughter (Casey Morgan). My youngest daughter, Karen, set up a caringbridge website for Pam. Karen's friends mother shared a prayer with us, that I would like to share with you and Brock. It's called DON'T QUIT:
Don't Quit -
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, and you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit - Rest if you must, but do not quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a fellow turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man; Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit, It's when things seem worst that you mustn�t quit.(Just call on Jesus).

Prayers have scientifically been proven to work.

REMEMBER NEVER GIVE UP THE FIGHT. You are in our prayers. GOD bless you all.

Hi Brock,

Congratulations on passing your Driver's Test-Be Safe Always :>
Love your attitude with everything you've been through. So glad to hear that the tumor in your head doesn't have any 'little buddies,' and the docs are confident they can get it removed in surgery Monday. We will be praying for your surgery, that there be no complications, that you would heal and recuperate well, and that you would only have a short hospital stay. You sure are one tough guy, amazing for all you do...LOTSAHUGS AND PRAYERS FOR YOU ALL to get through this~

Our daughter Kate was diagnosed with Wilms stage II FH Jan 25, 2003 and completed treatment June 17th. Her latest scans in July were clear. You certainly sound like a tough guy for all you've been through~You deserve the time off from all the chemo and radiation. We pray all goes well and that you continue to enjoy your summer, playing hoops, and drivin! We'll stop by again soon. Take care and God bless you all...

Brock, We're praying for a good report for you and Spencer!!!! Keep up the fight!!! One idea... if your med that tastes like a "burned out bottle rocket" is a pill or capsle (sp?), melt a starburst in the microwave for just a couple of seconds, put the med in a little piece of it and swallow... you can have a different flavor each time. IF it is liquid, mix it with a little koolaid... these things help Spencer with his meds. GOOD LUCK!!! Maybe you won't have to take it anymore!

Lynn and Leanne,
Mom gave me this web page for Brock this morning. Susan had called Mom yesterday with the update. I know we don't see each other very much anymore, but we are family. My heart breaks for you both. I've read all the entries, Brock is a "Superman" and you are "Superparents"!! I find it unimaginable, our sons are close in age and it hits home. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all. Tell Brock that Justin is a Pacer Ballboy, last night he worked the Wizards game and got to high five Michael Jordan - he was absolutely thrilled!!! Grandma Barnard tries to update us, she gets so confused. I'm so glad to have this web address now. Her 90th birthday is coming up soon, I guess she's entitled to be a little confused.
It's so hard to know what to say, I should have been better about staying in contact or dropping a card, I'm sorry. You have always been in my thoughts, but how would you know that??? I love you all.

Just signing in to let you know that you guys are still in our thoughts and prayers. We still have everything crossed (still pretty uncomfortable), and check your site regularly for updates. Hope the sports seasons are going well.

We are so pleased that the Iressa is keeping the tumor stable. You all remain in our prayers, and our fingers (and toes) are still crossed. We look forward to reading the next update.

Love the website and great to see some pictures of you all.
