This is all still so incredible. I know that Jorge is with Mark now, but he is missed so much! We will do all that we can to help Ryan and Brandon remember him and know what a kind, gentle person he was. Kelly - I can't tell you what an amazing person you are. You lovingly cared for him day and night and made his last days and weeks bearable. Life goes on, but it won't be the same.

Laytonsville, MD - Sunday, July 1, 2007 5:43 AM CDT

hi kelly, if you ever think of closing this website then please keep the history you have written so incredibly painfully but so realistically. Your boys will one day want to read it, and they will weep tears of both sorrow at their brother's final moments and joy, not only at your own devotion and love, but more so at the relationship between your son and yourself, right up until the final days. And believe me, whether they can express it to you or not, once they reach a certain age they will want to know every detail about what will become for them a sacred time in their lives, even if they have not lived through it as adults. If they grow up as powerful individuals as you seem to be, then they will need to know their history, your history. And although it may be difficult, their brother's life and final days will come to mean everything to them.
Best wishes,
jmd.

Mark's birthday...January 4....He would be nine years old today. There was so much wisdom in that little 3-1/2 year old, who taught us all to love unconditionally. See ya, little buddy. I know you didn't like to hear Happy Birthday, but just had to sing it when I woke up! Love.

It's almost Christmas and we are busy preparing for the celebration of the birth of Baby Jesus, our trip to Children's Hospital, and visiting with family, but we will ALWAYS remember the Christmases that we were able to spend with Mark.

Hi Kelly,
It was so good to see you today. Isn't it funny how the messiest circumstances can bring people together.:) I think we all can learn something from Brandon's experience today. He was still singing, even with the load he was carrying. And like most of us, he needed some help getting out of a mess!
I just looked at some of your journal entries, and it brings back so many memories. It is so important that you keep on writing. I can't tell you how much reading about your experiences touched me tonight. The more you share your thoughts and feelings, the more we all realize how precious this life is. You are making a difference in someone's life every day, wherever you are, whoever you meet. Give my love to Jorge, too. Love, Aunt Angie

hello. i came across your web site and was sorry to here about your son mark. but i do know how you feel to. i lost my nephew c.b. oct-28-1998 to ewings cancer he onley battled 18 months, he was 13
i helped raised c.b. he was like my own kid, if his mother couldnt help him he allways came to me. you know to day i still sit down and think of things i wished i said and little things i should have did. and there is not a day that dont go bye i still think of him. some times i smile and some times i cry, i was so mad when c.b. died i was mad at the world and my self thinking some how i could have saved him. and i failed:(
now it had been 4 years since we lost c.b. to cancer.
and i still miss him so bad. but i have learned one thing if c.b. could come back to us he would'nt,
he is in heaven and he will never know what it is to be sick again and your son to. and now he is free
and i thank god every day that he let that beautiful angel in to my life and i felt so blessed that i got to hold him and hug him and kiss him every day just as you did mark. i would have rather had our c.b. 13 wonderful years then to have never had him at all. it does get better i promise we will never get over it. we will just learn to live with it, and know in our hearts we did all we could do and god had a reason to take our children, and some day we will see them again. you know the christmas poem . i put that in the news paper the first christmas we had with out c.b. and his photo , it is a beautiful poem i loved it too. c.b. wrote a book and you can find it in amazon and barney and nobles . it is called my story about cancer bye c.b. wolford. it is small but c,b, died be for he could finish it, but that is how you can see a photo of him if you would like.
and congratulations on your new baby,
he will help you so much, and the rest of your familey.
you know what was so odd i found out i was going to have a baby about the same time we found out c.b. had cancer, and i wasnt even trying to have one, will i had jordan may the 13 1998 and we lost c.b. oct 28 . 5 months later c.b. loved jordan you know right be for c.b. died me and jordan went to see c.b. and we sit down be side him on the bed. c.b. touched jordans hand and said dont worry i will get better who else can teach you to ride a bike and play foot ball. will of course c.b. died a few days later but he seen heaven be for he died, he raised both hands up just like god was reaching for him ya know. c.b. and mark is not gone they are in heaven waiteing for us :) i beleave with all my heart cb is watching over my jordan , just like your son will watch over his new brother, you know what, me and c.b. mother and father said, god took one of our angels to day but sent us another one, and he did for you to. may the lord be with your familey and bless your familey abundantly. and here is a poem that is in c.b.'s book. this is our children,. i hope you like it
it blessed me so much when i heard it and hope it will you to, the poem is called I'M Free

Don't grieve for me for now i'm free.
i'm following the path
god has laid , you see
i took his hand when
i heard him call
i turned my back and left it all
i could not stay another day
to laugh, to love, to work or play
tasks left undone must
stay that way.
i found that peace at
the close of the day
if my parting
has left a void
then fill it with rememberd joys.
a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
oh yes these thing i too will miss,
be not burdened
with times of sorrow
i wish you the sunshine
of tommorrow
my life's been full
i savored much
good friends, good times
a loved one's touch.
perhaps , my time

What a beautiful poem - I still have goosebumps. Thanks for sharing. I think about you often and am glad to hear you had a healthy baby... colic you can deal with, it's the cancer that is so hard.
Wishing you a Happy and HEALTHY New Year for you and your family.

I just wanted to write and say I have been reading some of your little son Mark's brave battle. I am so sorry for your loss he was such a beautiful little boy.
I am a mother of an angel too my little boy Tyler died at 8 weeks old from a heart/lung defect in 1997. I was given great peace by God for my loss and now try to spend as much time as possible to encourage others ~ there are no words to take away the sadness but thankfully caring for each other helps ease the journey.
Congratulations on the birth of your newest baby Ryan Alberto Salvador I hope he brings many wonderful blessings to your home. I have 5 children two born after Tyler so I know the wonder of new life after a loss.
May God bless you for the days ahead.
Love from Sharon

Hi - I just found this page through the Hugs and Hope website. I remember seeing Mark a while abck on the page before I went on maternity leave. I remember thinking what a sweetheart he looked to be. What a wonderful smile. When I came across his picture again and I read that he had passed away I was deeply saddened. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure than Brandon misses his brother so very much. BUt know that God has made your son an angel and he can now look out for his family from above. I know that isn't really any consolation. I am praying for your family.
Blessings,

I found this through heavenly lights where my daughter has a star. She passed away on October 11 of this year to a brain tumor. As I read Mark's story I found much of it to be so similar to my own. I am now trying to help a friend who's child had Stage 4 neuroblastoma and is going through her stem cell transplant. I pray she is one who survives this horrible disease. I am so sorry that you now had to endure another loss of a child. I pray that you will again hold a baby in your arms, not to take the place of Mark, for no one could take that place, but to add a new place full of love and hopes and dreams.

We met today after I read your posting on the message board about your pregnancy, and us being due at the same time. I can not tell you how much your son has touched me just by visiting this site. He sounds like he was one special little boy. I know I am a complete stranger to you, but if you ever need anything. I am here to listen. I can give you my phone number too, if you ever need to talk to someone who isn't so connected. You can call me 24/7, I'm there for a lot of friends that way. I send all my love out to you and your family, and I just know that angels are watching over Mark, and that his short life will probably affect many more than can even be imagined. {{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}

If you ever need anyone to talk to please feel free to e-mail me anytime. I am also on Daybyday with you.
Also, Jordyn is the first star on Heavenly Lights, it is dedicated and inspired by her. Please read her story when you can!!

Kelly,
A couple of weeks ago I went to the "Build A Bear Workshop", and I saw a monkey stuffed animal so I decided to make it. When it was time to fill out the birth certificate for it, I had to think of a name for it. I immediately though of Mark, and how much he loved monkeys so that's what I decided to name it. I miss him so much, and I feel that there is this big void in my life that can never again be filled. It's been a month now since Mark's passing, and I continue to pray for him. Sometimes at night I talk to him in my prayers, but still words can never express how much love I hold for him in my heart. I will never forget him, and I will continue to be here for you and your family. I love you Kelly, Brandon, Jorge, Terry, and Garland, and that will never change.

Words cannot express the deep sorrow we feel. Frank and I always knew that Mark was a special child. I truly believe that he and Emily are together. Maybe that's why they took to each other so quickly. Maybe they knew something we didn't. I do know that during Emily's treatment smiles were few and far between but she always managed one for Mark. Just remember that he's still with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in the trying times ahead. Just know that with time the hurting that you are feeling eases and all the nice memories take over. Mark was a beautiful little boy and the world will miss him. I hope the small financial help we gave, made a difference and that it allowed you spend the quality time together with your son before he passed. God bless you.

I can only tell you how much we love and care for you, Kelly, Jorge,Brandon and grandparents too. Kelly, I am glad we became friends, even if it had to be at Children's. I have in my memory the times Mark and Noah (neuroblastoma patient)met and played at the hospital. I know nothing I say can touch your sorrow. Brandon is a very special little boy to us too, Noah's illness has been difficult and there is so much sorrow felt by his brother and sister. You are in my prayers as you go through the trying days ahead of you. From your friends around the world who have kept Mark in prayer - the United Wesleyan Church, Alexandria,VA Christian Community Church, Warrenton, VA. Wesleyan Churches of Brasil, World Hope International, Pastor Bill of San Paulo, Brasil, Calvary Baptist, Alexandria, and Dale City, VA, Assembly of God, NC and Winchester VA, Catholic Churches in Md. and Bolivia, and many more unnamed who have and will continue to pray for you and are thanking God that little Mark could touch so many people in his short lifetime.

I even have a small teddy bear with a picture of Mark. I love him as if I had been closer. I will see you Thursday but want you to know we are all with you in this and love you very much.

I don't do very well when I learn of the suffering of little children. I know all too well of such difficulties and especially that of the parents. You have a wonderful little boy and I hope you don't ever think he is not with you. He will be yours forever. Thank you for posting the photos. It was a real joy to see him in them. He looks like such a wonderful boy. I'm glad you had some good and happy times with him. He is a real treasure. My prayers and constant thoughts are with you and your family. You have a lot of love that forever surrounds you and I know Mark will be a love in your lives for an eternity.

Kelly, Jorge, Brandon, Terry & Garland,
Our hearts grieve with sadness at the loss of little Mark. My mind flashes back to January 1999 when our families first met at Children's Hospital and Mark and Everett were receiving their first of many chemo treatments. We all spent many months in the hospital that year, giving and receiving support from one another. Once our boys were in remission, we'd see each other weekly and then monthly at the clinic which gave us a chance to catch up on how the boys were doing. I remember being just filled with joy and happiness when I'd see how good Mark was feeling during 2000. He would run through the clinic headed for the toys and the playhouse with a huge grin on his face. Remember the time, Kelly, when we were talking in the hallway by the elevator and you had to say a quick and sudden goodbye to us because Mark had raced down the hall and around the corner. I will keep those memories close to my heart. We admire your strength and determination and pray that the love and support of your family and friends will help you through this very difficult time.
Sue, Wayne & Everett Hodge <lu_ee@hotmail.com>

I don't know quite what to say except that I know that he is a little angel watching over all of us, especially children suffering or in pain. He had such incredible strength and courage. Again, I thank God for the chance to know and to love him.

My heart is so sad that one more child has died from cancer. It took my little girl, Jordyn, May 8,2000, she had AML leukemia. Jordyn was treated at Walter Reed and had her BMT at Children's. We may have met I think.
My heart aches for what you are now living with, the world of the "beareved parent." I wish you never knew this pain, it is horrible. I know that nothing I can say will help, if you need me I am here to talk or cry...We are now in Kansas, back home, Jordyn died at our home in Ft. Blevoir.

To the parents and family of God's little angel, Mark. My heart goes out to you in this most difficult time, but you must always remember, he is in the loving arms of Jesus now. He is pain free, smiling and watching you all from above. I won't try to say I know your pain, I do not, but I can only imagine, but keep your faith in God strong and true, he will hold you close, giving you strength and comfort, carrying you through the darkness into the light. One day you will be with your precious Mark again. Know that he is safe and secure in God's kingdom, where there are no more tears, pain nor sorrow. God Bless each of you.
May your faith in God's love give you comfort.
Your friend in Christ,

Jorge, Kelly & Family,
My prayers are with you all today and always. So sorry that you have lost Mark. No, you have not lost him. He is in Heaven rejoicing with the angels. He is no longer in pain nor is he sickly and frail.
A song comes to my mind by the Greenes. "Jesus Has A Rocking Chair" and it is ringing in my ears. Mark is now being rocked in the arms of Jesus. He is safe and secure.
Mark had a short life here on earth and he will be missed. You will never stop loving him or missing him. He is in Heaven now smiling down on you and encouraging you to have faith in God. One day you will be together again and there will be no tears and sorrow. God will wipe away all the tears and give you eternal joy.
May God bless and keep all of you is my prayer. There is no greater refuge than in the arms of Jesus. May you find comfort in knowing that Mark is with Jesus.

God bless you,
Lettie Clark

Kelly: Your last few journal entries have been so heartbreaking that my prayers had changed from asking God for a miracle healing to asking that He take little Mark into his arms quickly and peacefully. Even so, it was so sad to read of his death today. We grieve for you and your sweet family because we know you will miss him so much. We rejoice, however, that this precious boy is no longer in pain and is now completely healed. Heaven is a happier place today because your sweet Mark is now there in his heavenly Father's arms. He quietly passed from one Father to another. He is now at rest. We will continue to pray for your family as you make this very difficult adjustment. I've sensed great courage and strength in your journal entries. God has been with you through all of this and he will not forsake you now. Lean on Him.

Every day I check the Journal to see if there is anything new...and each day Mark seems to get worse and worse. It breaks my heart to know that in a short time he will be gone. I pray that God takes care of him in heaven, and makes all the pain go away. Each night I lay down and cry asking God why. Why must my little cousin go so much pain and suffering? Why isn't there something I can do to help? Over the past 3 1/2 years that I'v known him I've grown attatched to him. Watching him smile, laugh, and now watching him go through so much pain. I want you to know that I love you all...Kelly, Jorge, Mark, and Brandon. I pray that God will give you the strength to get past all of this. I will be by your sides no matter what, and will help you get past whatever is to come. Take care and God Bless...

Kelly,
I can't imagine how hard it must be to go through each day knowing that Mark is soon going to die. I remember his First Christmas. He was at Jean Miller's house, and Terry had me hold him while she ate dinner. Holding him in my arms and having his little fingers wrap around mine, it almost made me cry. As I held him, he fell asleep in my arms, and I sat there rubbing his back. This year I learned about Mark's condition, it broke my heart. Now knowing that he only has a short time to live, and is in so much pain makes me want to cry. I'm only blessed that I got to meet him, and be a part of his life for about 3 year or more now. I only pray that soon his suffering will end, because no one deserves to suffer like that. If you ever want to talk feel free to e-mail me, I'll always be here for you no matter what. I admire you for the will to stay strong, and get past each day knowing what's to come. My love and Prayers will always be with you.

My name is Christin Johnson. Im friends with Elizabeth, were pretty close and she keeps me updated on mark. I am very sorry about all of this but i also want you to know that we can rejoice in this hardship, it says in Philippians that "to live is Christ and to die is gain", Mark is in Jesus' hand and he is holding him there. He is watching over him and the rest of your family. Please keep the strong faith. I know this must be hard on everyone, you are in my prayers. Knowing Lizzy and knowing the story of Mark, it breaks my heart that he is going thru this but God doesnt do things without a reason. Just trust Jesus! GOD BLESS. much love

Dear Mark and Family, I want you to know that we will pray for you everyday. I can understand what you are going through right now, for I have a 10 year old with severe cerbral palsy that I have been watching wither away for a long time. Each and ever year it's worse. Seizures and contractours twisting his body, episodes of vomitting, surgery after surgery only to see him still suffer from something else that is usually associated with C.Palsy. Some nights I don't know which pray to ask God to answer. God just give me another day with my beautiful son or for him to take this suffering wonderful little boy out of his pain and misery. I am selfish and I want my baby forever, but not if he has to continue to suffer so much. I know you must feel as selfish as I do, and we have ever right to, but I know God has his choosen ones to call when his is ready for them. Just maybe one day when we meet up with God and our loved one, we can find out why ours were choosen. I hope Mark has a better day tomorrow, and I wish for you his parents a day of peacefulness in your hearts. Our deepest love and sympathy to you all.

Kelly:

I don't know what to say! I feel angry, I feel helpless. My heart is breaking. How could this be happening to any child - especially one as sweet as yours?! How could this be happening to you - or any Mom?! I'm at work and fighting breaking down with sobs. You are living my worst nightmare, and one that has torturted my friends. A couple of my friends lost their children to cancer. My son just threatened with a relapse of his cancer. This is as bad as it gets, though. At the risk of being blasphemous (not my intention), I can only think that if Jesus were allow to live we'd live in a perfect world. Since Mark, as Zack and Aimee were perfect, this too would be a perfect world in which to live. A perfect child should have a perfect life -- and there is no perfection on this earth - except for Love. I believe your Perfect Love that you and Mark share eternally connects you to Mark. How I beg that you will have peace, joy and hope from your eternal relationship with Mark.

All my love and prayers for you and Mark :-)

Just wanted to add my prayer support for you and your family. I have a grandson who was born 9-4-98 who looks a lot like your Mark so I seem to be drawn to your web site. My husband has battled leukemia since 1997 and that has been devastating but I can't imagine how much harder it would be to watch cancer take over such a small, beautiful child. God has sent him to you for whatever brief time to teach you some wonderful truth about His love. Your journal entries tell the story of a wonderful, loving and supporting Mother. My heart goes out to you. My family will continue to pray for a miracle touch for your precious son. God bless.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I wish there was something I could do to make the nightmare go away for you & your family and "Grandpa Russell", too! I know how much he loves those 2 little boys and you. I was hoping to get back there soon but it doesn't look like it. If there is anything I can do for you now or in the future, please let me know. Please know I enjoy hearing your Dad tell his stories of his babies (Mark & Brandon and of course you and Rusty too). You know he has a special way of telling stories..he keeps us tears of laughter when he comes to Utah, both in my office & at the farm. Uncle Willie & Lorin think he's the greatest! Please know that I worry about him (your Dad) and love him dearly. Say hello to your Grandma for me because I bet your Dad forgets to tell that I ask about her. "God Bless".

Hi Mark,
You are such a handsome young man!! I know you are loved very very much. My prayer for you is:
Lord, I lift Mark up to you. Take his little body and wrap your loving arms around him. Lord, I know that you can provide miracles because you have provided them in my life and in my family's life. Lord, if it's YOUR will, please provide a miracle for little Mark right now. Lord, he is so small and such a beautiful child. Wrap a hedge of protection around his little body, Lord. Let him know that YOU are holding him. Lord, be with his mom and other family members. Let them know that YOU are at their side. Lord, I pray that YOUR will be done with Mark. Let him know he is loved.
This I ask in YOUR precious and HOLY name. Amen and Amen.

Dear Mark and your family:

I am sitting here at my computer in tears. I had such an emotional week last week with Kaylen's chest CT Scan (they found a mass on her right lung) and now I am updating myself with what has been happening in your life. I am so very sorry this is happening to you. I know life isn't fair sometimes. I sure wish childhood cancer would go away. It is so very devastating to see your child dying. Kaylen's mass will hopefully be a fluid buildup from a recent infection. I try not to dwell on it too much since we have until July 6th forr the rescan. But enough about us. I want you to know I love you even though I've never met you. I feel your pain Kelly. I never read up on any others through the caring bridge or any place else because I can't take it. I lost my niece last year to brain tumors and just can't imagine loosing my daughter. Glad you had Mark Baptized. That was nice. Take care. I can't see out of my eyes any longer!! Love-Julie May

Dear Kelly and family,
I have been keeping updated on little Mark and I am so sorry that you have to plan for a funeral for him. He is such a sweet liitle boy, anyone can see that by looking at his pictures. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers as I do so many other families from Hugs and Hope and Make A child Smile and Kids Need Prayer. Seems like it just doesn't end for these little one.Has Mark been receiving the cards I've been sending to him?

My Prayer for You: Please know that you're in my prayers. Please know that you're in my thoughts. Please believe with all that you have-- I'm sending you the Love that I've got. Please believe that Angels are watching and know as softly you cry -- That they will hold and protect you and wipe all your loving tears dry. I wish there were words to convey what my heart is feeling inside; but I must rely upon God, for the comfort and hope He'll provide.

I'm so sorry that Mark and your family are going through this horrible ordeal. It doesn't seem fair that little kids suffer like this. I lost my Jeffrey when he was 3 yrs old to cancer and I know the pain you are going through. Mark is such a beautiful child. You have been blessed to have him in your life, even if for such a short time. I hope you find peace and comfort in the love you share.

Dear Kelly,
I really like the photo of you and Mark...so sweet. You wrote that it was taken the day before you found out he had relapsed. I get such an 'odd' feeling looking at pictures of Emma just before we found out she was sick. There aren't any noticeable indications, which makes it so scary.

I will be praying that Mark's doctor visit goes well. I hope he is more tired simply because he is playing so hard during the day.

I am sending love, hugs, and prayers....angie

I'm so happy to read your terrific news about the stable tumors. You and your family deserve good news. It's pretty good to hear that Mark is acting like the normal boy and (mildly) injuring himself like all the rest. I am anxious to read your next update when Mark gets to see his grandparents. Take lots of pictures with double prints so they can take home Mark's and Brandon's smiles!

Much prayers for continued good news.
