Thank you for sharing. It's difficult finding insight on what it's like - we are just past 2 years. I know what you mean about Christmas - the tree goes up, and I can't wait for it to come down again. I still buy an ornament that my son would have liked, even if I don't care about the tree going up.

Man, I cannot believe it has been almost 10 years since graduating!!! Are we old or what! I think back to when we were like 5!!! I think about Shane often. Almost EVERYTIME I drive to the mall and pass State Street Dead end.Or a BLUE victory! Weird how small the world is... Married a Musinski, but my husbands step-grandpa is Reg Rezmer, (What a character he is!!!! :)) He had so much love for you Shane. His eyes just light up when he talks about you. I remember the second time I met him, I brought a pack of pictures that Cathy dropped off for me when we were little. Hilarious how we dressed back then by the way... anyways it brought Grandpa Reg to tears, happy tears though.

Shane is truly missed by anyone who really knew who he was. If he were here, who knows what he would be up to!!! Im sure he would LOVE all of the technology these days! But he would be doing something BIG and GREAT I just know it.

When we had our baby boy back in Oct, Cathy dropped off a package for the baby. (FROM SHANE I KNOW) It had to have been from shane, it was ALL U of M things for the baby. :) He loved it all!!! Well My husband said so anyways! Were huge U of M fans just like Shane was or is still IM SURE!

Anyways, Almost to our 10th year graduated. I thought I would stop in and Remind everyone how awesome Shane was and to have a blessed day! :)

Hi Cathy and Kayla!
We were thrilled to receive your photo and it is now on the Alice Pyne Facebook pages. Wow, that mug has travelled some miles, although we have contenders from Australia and Brazil now so they're even further I think. Loved reading through your blog and looking at your photos, what a wonderful site you've created, something positive from your loss.
Take care, Vicky & Alice, England

Hello,I went to elementary school with Shane from 1st to the middle of 4th grade. I didn't know him all that well, but his presence made a large impact on me. He was always so nice to everyone and fun to be around. After i moved, i thought about him often, and wondered how he was. The time spent in school with Shane left a deep impression on me and will always be remembered.

Don't know if you remember me from Child Life in the clinic 8 years ago. But I remember you and wanted to share that we're thinking of Shane. Yesterday my girls said to me "who's that boy on the refrigerator?" (Shane's graduation picture has hung next to our closest friends' pictures since the day it arrived), so anyhow, I had the privilege of telling them all about Shane:) After talking about him I just had to see if you still had a page here. Thanks for still sharing your life and stories--I've been smiling ever since I found this page!

If Kayla ever need to know anything about this little town feel free to contact me. My husbands Grandfather also has season tickets for UofM football and a few other sports and many times there are extras if you are ever looking for tickets.

Although we never met I learned about Shane via other children's sites. You can tell from the photos that Shane had a lot of joy and was loved very much! Unfortunately we share the same loss due to this horrible cancer. It is hard to believe that two holiday seasons have now passed without our sons.

While I do not sign often-I do check in-I loved your entry. It still affects me so much when I think of all the kids that have passed and those I held and those, like Shane, I never knew. Zoe is the last of her transplant group to be with us.

Happy Mother's Day!
Love to all of you.

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.

Candyce <cywolsfeld1@insightbb.com>

I couldn't leave without signing this. Cathy, it was so nice to talk to you today and re-live the precious but few happy memories. Shane was a remarkable boy and he obviously touched many lives in his brief time here. I always told myself if ONE good thing came from Britt's illness, I would be thankful. By the looks of all these entries in his guestbook, Shane accomplished a LOT of good things to be thankful for. God bless, keep in touch and know that we have always loved you all.

I can't believe that English teacher gave Kayla a "B" on that paper! In my book, it's an A+! Thanks for sharing it and thank Kayla for writing it and giving this Mom a look at life through a sibling's eyes.

Hi Rezmers. Cathy if you find any of the music we played in high school could you let me know. I've been searching for some of the songs we played at festivals and I remember Shane saying he was always working on putting a collage of all of that together. No need to search, just one of those if you come across it things. Take it easy and remember one day at a time.
Love ya,

Cathy, thank you soo much for those balloons. I went out to say goodbye to Shane today since I didn't get the chance to last year. I was actually pretty heartbroken about not seeing him before he went, I had been meaning to call or visit but I hadn't because I didn't know that he was getting worse. It was a very special thing to get to "send" him a message with a balloon. I loved it, and I know he would've loved it too. Very fitting.
I hope that you got the chance to see Extreme Home Makeover this past week. The one where they were building a new home for the mother with cancer. I could think of nothing but Shane while I watched it, and there was even a commercial on about Neuroblastoma.
Thank you for everything. One Day At a Time (ODAT)

As everyone knows the one year anniversary of Shane's passing is approaching quickly. Over the years many of us have come to know and love Shane and the Rezmers. We have shared many memories. So I ask you on November 30th at 4:26 PM to light a candle in remembrance of Shane and observe a moment of silence. This way when Shane looks down from Heaven he will know that he has not been forgotten.

Dear Shane, I know you'll have the best of seats at the 50 yard line during the OSU/UM game tomorrow and I'll be cheering for the Buckeyes via TV, but you will be on my mind the entire game.

In love and admiration,
Angela - Christi's Mom
PS: I put your picture in my pocket on November 5th so I could humor myself by "taking you to an OSU game at the shoe"! You moved many at the lemonade stand to tears when I shared your pic with them that day.

Cathy, I just want to thank you for keeping this site going and updating everyone on what's going on and giving bits and pieces of the story. I didn't know you and Shane when it all started and so I don't know everything you guys had to go through, but the whole story is soo momentous and life-inspiring. Your speech was amazing and very helpful with a project I've been working on since last December ... what I am calling a book for the lack of knowing what else to call it (and it's far from finished). I've been trying to put down in words what Shane meant to me and how everything he (and your whole family) has gone through has helped to shape me as a person since getting involved with your family. You truly feel like family to me too even though I don't get to see you much. I know what you mean about church songs getting to you. Not too long ago they sang "Jerusalem My Destiny" to end mass when I went with my mom, and walking out of church i was wiping tears from my eyes and when my mom asked what was wrong all I could say was "it's not wrong, it's Shane." It's been almost a year and yet Shane still lives strong inside everyone that knew him (and it seems some that may not have known him) ... you did something very right. Thank you for everything and take care (ODAT - one day at a time).

Cathy, I have said this before and I will say it again--mainly because words escape me--you are truly an incredible person. The courage you show over and over again never ceases to amaze me. I have been thinking a lot about you as November came creeping up--knowing you are going to have a heck of a time in these coming weeks. You have said it yourself over and over again--ONE DAY AT A TIME--thats all you can do and no expects you to be strong all the time. Keep remembering the funny, silly, talking all the time Shane and maybe those good thoughts will push some of the sad ones aside. You are my hero!!!

CathY,
I read about Shane for the first time and it was touching. He was a brave young man. My son is 13 and also has NB stage 4. We are in Michigan at Childrens Hospital. I wanted to know if you could email me about the MIBG treatment your son received and whether it actually helped or not along with the transplant. Also what did you think about U of M and their doctors and had you ever considered going to NY to Sloan or ending the treatments earlier. My son has only been fighting for about 9 months now but so far the frontline chemo arent havent much of an effect and everday I worry about whether I am at the right hospital or doing the right thing. I think you were incredibly brave to live one day at a time with such optimism and love of life.My God bless you and your family.
Sincerely
Christina

He beat so many odds and proved so many people wrong and like you said he was always happy.Living life one day at a time with such grace. I love to read the memories that you post, all the things Shane has done, the KoKo story. Shane will forever remain in my heart and my memories. He always puts a smile on my face.

Kathy,

I dont have your email address so I know I can reach you faster over the computer than I can through the mail. I just found a letter I wrote you a while ago and wanted you to have it. I hope to be able to see you guys soon I miss you all and the kokos!

I've been thinking alot lately about all of the memories I have of Shane and I. What can I say they were great times, I can see me in life with out all the guidance you have given me through out the years (I did spend about 50% of my childhood there). I can't thank you enough for all of those memories. But as I think back I can't help but think about how Shane and I drifted apart the last years in high school when he needed a friend the most. I tried to fix it senior year but by then it was to late. I'm sorry for I guess letting him down, because I know it hurt him when we didnt talk anymore. And it hurts me to know that I caused him more pain on top of what he was going through, and I'm sorry for that. I love him and you guys still and I will charish those happy times. I'm sorry for all the pain

To Shane's Family,
Over a year ago, my best friend was called home too soon after a prolonged battle with a rare cancer called Rhabdyomayosarcoma. I've came across a web site that linked to Shane's site. He touched my heart, even though I was never able to meet him. I started checking in on him once a week. When he was called home, my heart broke for his family. I now check in on you guys, just to make sure you are doing OK. After loosing a brother (in an accident) and my best friend to cancer, I know it's tough to loose someone who means so much. I pray God is giving you strength you need to make it one day at a time! I've never been a big sports fan, but when I see the big "M", I can't help but think of Shane. May God bless you and keep you! http://www.geocities.com/tomthefreebrid/

Happy Memorial Day! it is hard to believe that it has been a year since the Band's Trip to DC, boy what a weekend. I love the pictures of the bench I am going out there this week to my granparents graves because I am moving to Minnesota to take care of my cousins twin girls and go to school there and I plan on stopping by Shanes tombstone to say goodbye. I talked to Mrs. Stoddard the other day and she is doing ok and asked if I heard anything about you and the family and I said you are doing ok and that Shanes bench came in. She was sad to know that you will be at a different school next year. I just thought I would let you know that I was thinking about Shane this weekend and the trip last year.

Shane! Great job!!

I saw Shane's bench tonight. It is really nice! He would be very proud of what you designed for him.

I stopped out at the cemetery today, and Shane's bench is wonderful! He would have loved it, I am sure. Email me if you still want to get together for dinner sometime, and take care!

Yes - the perfect place to catch a nap! Boy are you witty and brilliant!!!!! Yesterday, we went to Cedar Point and I choked away tears more than once knowing Shane is not able to go in person. I envisioned him skipping the lines and going on the new ride just to make myself feel better. We think of you all the time. Sending you love,

Cathy, I laughed out loud at you sleeping in the waiting room near the pharmacy at Sloan. It makes perfect sense!!!! A good cancer Mom can sleep ANYWHERE if she's tired. Of course, people in the "normal" world think we're strange--and they're not sure how to wake us up! So glad your trip was enjoyable! I hope Mother's Day was "fine."
Much love,

Happy Birthday Shane (a few days late)!
Cathy, I wonder if all nb kids talk "early and often"? As a toddler, Carolyn would sit in her car seat blabbing away while we ran errands and when I would ask what she said, her answer was always "I'm just practicing!" I'm going to try telling her that her tongue looks tired and see if that gets me anywhere...wish me luck!
Much love to you all,

Cathy,
I hope you enjoyed your trip. I thought I would share something with you. Shane had given me the U of M Marching Band CD from when Dennis and Matt came to see him, because he already had it. Well this past week while I was studying for finals I listened to it because I was thinking how Shane would have been finishing up his second semester at CMU. Plus it has been known that listening to mellow music helps people to learn and remember information (U of M marching band isn't that mellow) but it helped.

Happy Birthday Shane whom we all miss everyday.

You are forever in our hearts and on our minds!

Hello Rezmer Family,
I just wanted to let you know I think of you everyday and check the web site often. Thank you for keeping us updated on yourselves, and some of the children, that are in need of extra prayers.
My elves and I are still sending toys. They're going to a children's hospital in Detroit. As long as there are sick children, we will be sending them.
May you have a few "just peachy" days. Take Care, Diane

Thank you so much for signing Kody's guestbook...it means so much to us.
Wow...the first thing I thought of when I saw Shane's picture was "Awwww...he has the same haircut as Kody's!!"
Kathy...Shane is absolutely beautiful and I can tell just by taking time this morning to read about him, he was one of the bravest...the love so clearly seen between your whole family is awesome.
Shane definetly is and "Angel Among Us". :0)

Kathy,
I did see the Extreme Makeover Home Edition last Sunday, and as I was watching it I cried. My mom had called me on the phone and asked what was wrong and I told her that Shane had the same disease but a different stage. It also got me to thinking about Shane in those hospital rooms, it was nice to read that Kayla and her friend dressed it up for him. Glad to hear that everyone is doing ok.

Cathy, I have to share this with you - as it is all thanks to Shane. Brice was sitting on his bed the other night playing around with his calculator and his Trig book was sitting out. I thought he was doing homework, but he said no he was creating a program for the calculator. I said oh like Shane used to do? He said, yep, that kid taught me how to do it. I said see, you will always have this as a memory of him. He said yea, lets not talk about it anymore. I just wanted you to know that Shane touched everyone's lives in so many different facets (sp) and he is continually thought of and remembered here as well as everyone in your home. Take care.

I have been trying to find the right things to say in here for a while and i still dont know but i felt i needed to sign this. I met Shane back in middle school on the bus. He always sat right in the middle and i sat behind him. Such a great kid he was but when we got into high school we lost touch but still talked occasionally. He is a crazy guy and i will never forget him. Im glad your christmas went well!

I had my arm on his shoulder(which he is the only one i could do that to because of my shortness) and we were smiling believe it or not. If you would like it, I can make a copy for you. I might have more for. Love you all

I don't think I will ever watch another Michigan game or see the marching band and not think of Shane. Being the Michigan fan I am that will keep him in my thoughts a lot :) Hope going back to work went well for you. Routines are a good thing sometimes. I think we will all go through a little withdrawal not looking for updates on Shane's website every time we sign on the computer. I hope you do find time to keep us updated on all of you as you have come to be like family via the internet. Take care and know that even when not sending messages you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cathy,
I saw a movie this weekend that so reminded me of you. When a young child died, the priest comforted the parents by telling them that the only love greater than a parents love for their child is the love that God has for all of his children. Shane is no doubt in good hands!! It also brought a smile to my face when I saw the picture of Shane (middle picture on the top) with his shirt and tie. In all of my life, I will never forgot when he wore what looks to be the identical outfit, in first grade, campaigning for President. He was quite convincing at a very young age. My prayers are with you and your family this holiday season and I am glad that you are giving yourself special gifts. Those are the things that are so good for the soul!

How fitting that he be the angel to top your tree this year. He was an angel long before he went to heaven! God Bless you all!

Rezmers,
I haven't written in this guestbook because I didn't know what I could say. Now, reading all the memories you share of Shane, I just thought that maybe I could share a few with you. On the day of Shane's funeral, I woke up early to drive to Bay City. The sky shone with one of the best sunrises I have ever seen and I knew then that Shane would never be gone. I remember the way he used to shake his head at me and say my name like he thought I was one of the weirdest people he'd ever met, but he always listened to me and he was one of the best friends I've ever met. I proposed to him once (remember that, "mom"?) so for a while, we were 'almost engaged'. A few weeks ago, I took pictures of these three siblings decked out in their U of M garb (I work at Sear's Portrait Studio). I remembered all the lectures I received from Shane on why Michigan was so much better than State. So today I was sitting in my living room and the CD made from our WWII Concert in May fell off my CD stand. I decided to listen to it and was reminded of Shane. Hearing that music makes me emotional because senior year was a very special year for all of us. Sorry this is so long, but it is always lovely reading your memories so I wanted to return the favor. Reading about Shane always brightens my day and makes me smile.

I just have to tell you that even though we are MSU fans and have never worn "that" blue & yellow, we have bought and will wear UofM shirts for the Rose Bowl just for Shane. No one has ever been able to get us to do that in all these years but we have made an exception and will smile because we know that Shane will be laughing because he finally won us over! Keep the faith, keep busy and know a tremendous amount of people are keeping your whole family in their prayers. Guess I have to close with, "Go, Blue", gosh did I really say that????

Shane was one special kid and I think we are all lucky to have known him. Even though it was very hard to deal with the fact that he is gone I know it is for the better. I am just glad that I got the chance to be friends with him and make so many great memories. You guys are always in my heart and if you ever need anything you know where to find me. I love you guys!

The first time i ever talked to Shane was over 3 years ago. Chris had told me to talk to him and that he had cancer. I couldn�t believe how optimistic he was and how he was always in a good mood no matter how bad he felt. I remember talking to him while he�d be in the hospital, he�d still be asking how i was. I loved his positive outlook on life. No matter how much pain he was in he always had a joke or something to say that would make you feel 10 times better. He never complained about what he had to go through and it seemed like he even liked to go to ann arbor to see everyone. He told me about how great they were there. The 1st time i met Shane was at his graduation party in June. He seemed tired after a long day but still managed to keep a smile on his face and tough it out. He was such a positive person, i felt lucky to have know him. When i heard about his death, i just smiled. I knew he was free of pain and in a better place, after not doing so well the past couple weeks it was good to know he could be happy (not that he wasn�t before.) I will always remember him and his love for music. My prayers are with you.

Hey guys,

A couple things made me think of you lately.

1) The episode of "Boy Meets World" on the tapes that I'd never seen before (yes that one shocked me)
2) The duct tape that I had to use to patch the hole on my TV that my curling iron accidentally burned into it :)

Hang in there and let me know if you need anything.

Love,

Shane will be missed by all who have come to know him. He had the will power to do anything he had put his mind to. In the process, Shane had also inspired many people, including myself. Even though I am three years older than Shane, he has been someone whom I have looked up to. Shane always had a smile on his face. You would not have known he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma. Shane was able to make the best of any situation. He has accomplished so much in the past ten years, not everyone makes it to college so that is a feat in itself. Shane was definitely wise beyond his years, and my friendship with him will always be cherished. I will always have a special place in my heart for my little buddy.

Cathy, Randy and family:
Thank you for the privilege of being Shane's teacher. I am sure I learned more from him than the other way around. I can't begin to express how much he meant to me, but I think that you could tell. I wish you all the peace that God's Spirit can bestow. I don't worry about Shane because I know that I will see him again when I join him along side our Lord. I am putting the lyrics to Shane's Song here for anyone to read. Oh, and I'll be recording it sometime in the next month and I'll add it as a bonus track on the first cd and get you the first copy. Thank you again for your great gift to all of us.

Strong Man - Shane�s Song by Tom Benner
Verse 1
I always thought that I was a man of strength
Running my life with the greatest of ease
And I knew that I could do anything, anything
Nothing, nobody could stand in my way.
Then troubles befell me and worries waylaid me,
And I felt my strength slip away.
Then you came along and I saw stronger man.
Bearing your troubles while sharing a smile.

Chorus
I knew that you were the lucky one,
The one who knew life was a treasure to hold.
With every breath you grew and each time
You laughed I knew I was the better for having
you near.

Verse 2
I always thought that I was courageous
As fearless a creature as ever there was.
And I had no need to fear anything, anything,
Nothing, nobody to terrify me.
Then worries befell me and terrors waylaid me,
And I felt my courage desert me that day,
Then you came along and I saw a fearless man
As tall as a giant in spite of your woes

Chorus 2
I knew that you were the lucky one,
The one who knew life was a treasure to hold.
With every breath you grew and each time
You laughed I knew I was the better for having
you near.

Bridge
�Cause you are a strong, strong man
Faithful and true to what you believe
And I�d like to make my stand with you
I�ll walk with you if you�ll take my hand

Verse 3
You showed me this is the only day I have
And I need to give it the best that I can.
Each of us here can do anything, anything
Nothing, nobody should stand in our way
So this is the time and yes, this is the place
For us to decide where we�re headed today
So we look to a stronger man, bolder and braver
Who shows us that we are all masters for sure

Chorus 3
�Cause I know that we are the lucky ones,
The ones who know life is a treasure to hold.
With every breath we grow and each time
We laugh we know we are much better for having him near.
Yes and you know that you are the lucky one
The one who knows life is a treasure to hold
With every breath you grow and each time you laugh you know you are much better for having us near.
�Cause you are a strong, strong man
Faithful and true to what you believe
And I�d like to make my stand with you
I�ll walk with you if you�ll take my hand
Take my hand�take my hand

Dear Rezmer Family: Heaven got a new angel. You know that Shane is smiling down on all of you with no more pain. I know that it is not easy, but continue to lean on the Lord. Tomorrow marks six months since the loss of my grandson, Little Alex, to this same disease. We make it through each day with help from the Lord and family and friends. Our little Alex is in heaven with Shane and playing football - but Alex is cheering on the Pittsburgh Steelers. My sympathy and prayers got out to all of you. Remember to keep praying for all the other children who have this disease.

Bravery, Inspiration, Toughness, Will Power, Dedication, Fighter, Witty, Bobcat, Wolverine. These are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Shane Michael. The inclination to put the most favorable attitude upon actions & events, or to anticipate the best possible out come.. Revealing or reflecting good judgment or sound thought.. emitting light & laughter.. as well as choosing with thoughtful antcipation of the needs & wants of others are the four qualities of Shane that I will remember the most. Shane always had the best possible outlook on everthing he did. He put his best foot forward and never looked back. Shane always thought clear and efficiently before leaping deep into a project. Shane most definitely emitted light and laughter into all situations. And lastly he always took the time to care about the feelings of others. Those qualities equal four words and they are Optimist, Intelligent, Funny, & Thoughtfulness. Shane had these quality attributes and that is why I am proud to say Shane Michael was my nephew. I feel very fortunate that Shane was a part of my life and can only hope my children have the desire, outlook, intelligence and dedication that Shane carried with him thoughout his life. I as well as my family will miss your outstanding personality immensely, Shane. However, we understand that your leaving us, as painful as it is, makes your worries and pain disappear, so you can fulfill your dreams that were not possible here with us.

I have known Shane since pre-school and always looked up to him. I knew him before he was diagnosed and I continued going to school with him as he continued battling with it. The amazing thing is his attitude never changed...neither did the smile on his face. I will always remember Shane and his impact which was great. God Bless!

Talk about someone who was and still will remain an inspiration to people of all ages. As you already know, you had an amazing brother and child. I cannot explain what a privledge it has been to know such a awesome person. May the unspoken prayers and memories be of great comfort to you in this time.

Shane's courage, determination and sense of humor has inspired me to be a better nurse. Please know he will never be forgotten. A part of Shane will be with me for always and his legacy will be passed on to all those I care for. You raised a remarkable young man. You have so much to be proud of. You're in my prayers.

Today is the 2nd of December, 2004, and I only heard the news yesterday. I was deeply disheartened, even though I never really got to know him, except when I used to come over and play with Kayla when we were in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. There is a history of all types of cancer in my family, I know what you've all went through, and bless you for that. All I know, is that while attending John Glenn, I noticed him, and everytime I saw him... I smiled, because he was too, no matter what his circumstances were, and we all knew what those circumstances were. I am just so sorry that this is what it had to lead to. But just try to remember that everyone remembers him by his smile... and that through the hurt and struggle, that boy could smile... and now... he's free...{and probably smiling!!}

Now for what I tell everyone... and it means so much more in this case...~ "Smile On" ~...

God Bless You and Yours.

I am so sorry to hear of Shane's passing. Shane has touched so many lives his entire life but especially during his time at John Glenn. I didnt know Shane that well but he has forever touched me in a way that i will never take anything for granted again.Throughout Shane's entire battle i cannot recall a time that i passed him in the halls and did not see a smile on his face.
He truly is an inspiration for everyone. Shane has definately made his mark at John Glenn, and more so throughout the community, he will never be forgotten. Your entire family is in my prayers. God Bless

Although you do not know me, I did senate with Shane at JGHS. He was an AMAZING young man. He was so determined and fun. He always had a smile on his face. When I heard the news, I just couldnt believe it. My mother, Donna Bohlinger, works at JG and she would always give me updates on Shane. I just never thought it would happen because he was such a strong individual. He fought through every hard time with a smile on his face. I pray for comfort for your family.

Dear Randy, Cathy, Kayla, and Adam,
It�s hard to explain how many good things Shane did, and how much everybody loved him, without taking up this whole page. Shane was truly an inspiration to us all. He was always thinking positively, and kept his head up high. When I heard the news that night, it felt as though a part of me, and everyone else, was taken away. He was such an outstanding young man, and appreciated life more than anyone. His accomplishments over the last 18 years will never be forgotten, and he is truly, a hero�And I thank God, for giving everyone, such a special person, and friend.

God bless your family�My thoughts and prayers are with you, and you are in my heart.

Cathy, Randy and family.
I can't even think of what to say. Just know that my family and I are here for you, along with the rest of the community.
I remember when we first heard the news that Shane had cancer. I was 9 and shane was 8. We were inseparable. It was always, me, shane, sean, and ben.We were the best of friends.I remember when we were in 4th grade and we started a club under the jungle gym. We thought we were so cool, we wouldnt even let anyone else come in. Another time that i remember is when we went to Henry Ford museum and we snuck away from the chaperone.We really wanted to keep looking at the train I think.I will always remember those special memories and know that we will meet again.
He is now watching down on all of us and is in a better place. Please know that we love you and are here for all of you.

Dear Rezmer family,

I've been trying to come up with words of consolation, but I've been at a loss for words. All sorts of little things have been reminding me of Shane in the last two days: Spanish class, the sound of a saxophone down the hall in the music building, and (of course) the roll of duct tape sitting on my desk. Duct tape and Shane will always go together in my mind. He was always a fun guy to be around, and Science O never would have been the same without him. His passion for his school (and especially his band!) was noticed by everybody, and we couldn't help but respond with excitement ourselves.

He's very lucky that he had a loving family who supported him in all his efforts, so that his enthusiasm for the things he loved could be multiplied even after he's left us. I really want to thank you guys for that. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Rezmer Family,

Shane had such an effect on everyone who knew him, that it's hard to put into words. Throughout high school Shane made me, and many others realize how special life really is. It was so amazing to see how positive he remained despite what he was going through - he always had a smile on his face. So many people looked up to Shane - he was an inspiration to us all - and he brought our community together. I'm so thankful that I had the chance to get to know him. He will be greatly missed - especially his laugh. Many prayers are with you.

I sit here and ponder the words to express my feelings and find that the happy memories keep coming to mind. Shane and I shared a common frustration at different periods in our lives, the lack of the physical ability to do the things we knew that we could do when we wanted to do them. Our shared love for roller coasters and the Red Green Show always gave us something to talk about. When we would make bets on who would be the first one to ride the newest coaster at Cedar Point, Shane always beat me to the ride! When he went to watch the Red Green Show, I was so excited for him, it seemed that so many obstacles had to be overcome for this to happen, somehow Cathy made it happen! I remember the day when he called me to �give me all of the details of the trip� as I had asked him to, it was the highlight of my month! Those stories that few could understand about Stinky Peterson and Red made me feel special! I wish I could come up with something to say about Shane that was unique, but this guest book so eloquently touches the sole of a truly remarkable person who understood how fragile life is and chose to live each and every day to it�s fullest. Although he will no longer be able to share his contagious smile or make us laugh, his memory will make us smile and his spirit lives on in all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers to all who ache for his passing and a special heart-felt wish to the Rezmer Family that the warm memories will lift your spirits for years to come.

He will be sorely missed.

We always talked and had such a great time and he was always smileing. we have him in our hearts now and he is in a better place. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. are prayers are with you.

Dear Rezmer Family,

On behalf of the third floor of Carey at CMU, I wanted to send our deepest sympathies to your family. Shane was only with us for a short time, but has shown us all so much. He always had a smile on his face, no matter how he was feeling and could always make you laugh. Being his roommate, I can remember that no matter how he felt or how much he was in pain, he never complained once. He had such strength, courage and determination. Shane loved every minute of life, and I could only wish that everyone felt the same about life as Shane did. Your family will be in our prayers.

Ever since I heard the news about Shane I've been trying to come to grips with it. It's so hard to believe that I won't get to see my little buddy again. He was someone really special and I feel blessed for knowing him, and getting to spend so many great moments with him and his family. From working his golf benefit with him to going to Cedar Point with him and the family, and from JG band talking about how cool it would be if we were drum majors together to talking him into joining my bowling league (even if it was only for a short time). Shane was always there for me and I was always there for him. And I never left Shane with anything less than a smile on my face. He has definately left a mark on me, and so many other people. I'm sad to think those times with him are over, but it's good to know that he's not in pain anymore. He will live on in our hearts. My most sincere thoughts and prayers to you Cathy, Randy, Kayla, and Adam.

Sorry to hear about the loss. Shane was a very special person. He was so nice to everyone. He never treated anyone different then anyone else. I knew Shane for a long time. My brother would also tell me about how much of a wounderful person he was (and even thou I never got the chance to hang out with him) I knew he was. He was a Hero to MANY and also a hero to me. I'm so glad I got the chance to meet him. He was a VERY brave friend. I hope the best for you and your family. God Bless you all and remember he is in a better place now.

When he sit down in the waiting room at the hospital, I got up and went over to him and said ,"Is your name Shane and then ask him if he was 18 years old. He looked at me like who is this crazy women asking me all this questions. He told me yes, he was shane, then I explain that I had been reading his web-page and knew of him. Cathy I remember you telling me shane told you that this women come up and ask him all this questions. He was such an amazing young man. You all are in our prayers. Love, Christine

Rezmer family,
When I switched schools in 9th grade Shane was the first person who talked to me, infact he was my first real friend at John Glenn. He could make friends anywhere, and everyone he met loved him. He was my locker partner for 3 years boy did we have fun with that, and in Mr. Clydes and Mr. Denays class. We would always talk about all the funny stories from those classes even 3 and 4 years later. Shane was my best friend, and the thing I loved most about him was how he could always make me laugh no matter what.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love,
Stacy

Dear Rezmer family,

I�ve been friends with Shane since the 2nd grade when he was first diagnosed. I can�t describe how much of an impact he has had on my life, my family and the community. I remember how scared I was when I found out that someone my age had a life threatening disease and how easily it could be me or anyone else. I thought about how I would react if it were me. Then as I got to know Shane, he was this incredibly optimistic and outgoing person, more so than anyone else I knew. I couldn�t believe it! I looked around at how selfish we all were to let little things bother us so much when, all the while, here is Shane, battling for his life, and the most enthusiastic person I know.

I remember the assemblies for Shane and the Spaghetti Dinners that brought everyone together. The time we all were allowed to wear baseball hats to school in the 4th grade (a big no-no any other time) so Shane wouldn�t feel out of place. The countless banners and cards made in class to wish Shane the best of luck. I remember being jealous of Shane�s �Red Green Show� string art he made in Mr. Wackerle�s 7th grade math class (mine didn�t turn out so good). In the 9th grade Shane was my locker partner, I recall countless conversations over various topics, in particularly our excitement over the Redwings (think they won the cup that year). I remember sitting by Shane in Hefe�s Spanish class and Shane always managing to translate �no megusta� before anyone else. I�ll always remember Shane pleading with Mr. Miller to teach FST for our junior year. I think he even wrote Mr. Miller a book on why he should! Shane always had a band story to tell and it always made me feel like I was missing out on the greatest class ever.

Along with all the particular memories of Shane, I�ll always remember his love for life and how he spread it on to everyone else. He was a born leader and was someone everyone could look up to. He always had a smile on his face and of course, who could forget his laugh, Shane�s laugh was one in a million. If you ever had a class with Shane he would always light it up and make it fun. Shane taught me just how great life really is and how easily we can take it for granted. Shane will live on stronger than ever in all of our memories and as an inspiration to all of us. My family and I send you guys the deepest condolences. I wish I could have written in here before but I wasn�t aware of the site.

Cathy, Randy, Adam & Kayla, There aren't words to say what we feel but Shane was truly 1 out of a million. He touched so many, many lives and was an inspiration to everyone that knew him. I'm sure you will miss his chatter and his beautiful shining smile but God has healed him and he is no longer having any pain but is free to be himself again. He will certainly have the rest of the angels laughing and entertained. He may no longer be here in body but he will be in the wonderful memories we all have of him. May God bless you with peace and comfort. Our prayers will continue for the entire family. Once again our love, thoughts and prayers are with you!

Dear Family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I have known Shane since elementry school when we all played at Karen Dorion's house and swam in the pool. I had been talking to Shane a lot recently online comparing college, summer, and high school stories. I loved Shane so much. One thing he never did do was update me on his condition, I was shocked to hear. I never expected this day to come, I always believed he would overcome it. No matter what was going on Shane was always joyful and happy with a smile on his face. I hope you get my flowers and remember who I am (the blonde girl who moved to Florida but always visited Karen's). I love you guys and God Bless.

Although distance has separated us now for many years, I think about Shane every day. I would even find myself keeping track of his beloved John Glenn football team in the Saturday newspaper. His spirit for life truly had an impact on me, as I'm sure it had on everyone he met. Hearing the news today brought back countless memories of Shane and even in this time of sorrow, each of these memories brought with it a smile. Shane truly had a gift for making people happy. He will be deeply missed, but with these memories that we all hold so dear, he will forever have the ability to make us smile.

And for God's sake, I hope He's been brushing up on his 4-square skills.

Love to you all.

Randy, Cathy, Adam and Kayla,
There are no words that can express the feelings that I have for all of you. I am so sorry for your loss and yet I am happy that Shane is finally at peace and with God. When we have children we always hope to outlive them and we have no understanding why God takes some of them away from us too soon. I am hoping you can take some comfort knowing that Shane is sitting in God's chair making everyone around him laugh, talking their ear off and enjoying perfect health once again.

Even though I did not know Shane personally, I came to know and love him through this website. He was truly a couragious young man that had a wonderful spirit that will live on long after this. He touched a lot of lives and taught us all that we should never quit fighting. He will live in the hearts of many for ever. Cathy, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, adventures, trials and tribulations with us even when you probably didn't feel like it at times. I read almost every line you wrote and I thank you for sharing.

I am so sorry for your loss.

As I sit here I think about Shane I remember spirit week in 1999 when we raised money and Shane got to shave coach loops mustache, I remember going to the boys swim meets when Shane swam. He put 110% into all he did. Shane is an amazing person who has touched so many lives. I hold a very special place for him in my heart. God Bless

Sorry to hear the news, you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers. Shane truly defined the word "teacher". The more a person was able to witness Shane, the more the person would learn what in life was really important. Your entire family has been an inspiration to so many, God Bless all of you, His hand is now on Shane's shoulder.

Shane and Family,
You are all in my hearts at this time. I feel for each and everyone of you. Shane you are such a strong young man you have done so much in your life that no one thought you would be able to do. Even though I was out of high school once you were a freshmen, I remember aiding for Mrs.Stoddard at the Middle Schol and seeing you,you were such a strong person than and an terrifc saxophone player your sprirts never changed over all these year.You have touched so many hearts and no matter if someone was having a bad day or if it was a long band practice you knew how to make us laugh. Just seeing you smile made everything better. I am glad I got to know you better over the years Shane seeing what you have been threw made it easy for me to deal with my grandpas illness and passing from cancer.
Take care you are all in my prays and thoughts.

Who else do you know that could touch so many lives in just 18 years? As Shane went through life he fought a battle no child should ever have to fight but look what he taught so many of us while doing it. He carried on as if ignoring the disease...he made his plans and set his goals as if cancer was not going to rule (even though it often reminded him it did) and look what he accomplished! As things took a drastic change for Shane our prayers for him have changed accordly. We pray that he finds an equally productive afterlife free of pain and medical issues. Imagine what he will be able to accomplish there! And we thank him for leaving all of us so many memories of him and so much inspiration on how to live our lives. I hope he realizes how through simply living the life he was dealt and making the most of it he has touched so many lives. God Bless You Shane...you will always be my hero!

I said a prayer for Shane today and know God must have heard I felt the answer in my heart, although He spoke no word! I didn't ask for wealth or fame I asked Him to send treasures of a far more lasting kind! I asked that He'd be near you at the start of each new day to grant you health and blessings and friends to share your way! I asked for happiness for you in all things great and small but it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all!

Shane you truly are the most outstanding young adult I have ever known--and I've known quite a few.

Please know that I am so very Thankful for having had the opportunity to have been your teacher--you are such an inspiration (as is your family)to so many people. If you get a chance, we would love to hear from you. I miss hearing your laugh and seeing you smile. I know my days always went better with you in class.

Keep positive thoughts - God has worked so many miracles and you are right - he has continaully heard everyone's prayers keeping Shane going. This is no exception. Life changes, people change, and adjustments have to be made - it is how we deal with them that counts. Know that you and your family are always in our prayers, thoughts, etc., thank you for keeping everyone informed on the goinging on's in your life - yeah, even the ticket! Oh and GO MICHIGAN!!!!

Hi Shane....was that a great game or what???! Nice that State could feel they were going to win and enjoy that a while before we stole it out from under them. Blue always rules!!! Hope you're feeling better these days. Hang in there.

Hi Shane's Mom. This is Will's Mom, his roommate at college. I'm so sorry about Shane's illness. We know what it is to have a loved one who is so ill as Will's Dad suffered a long time from Aplastic Anemia. We celebrate the anniversary of his passing on Halloween. I just want you to know that Will and Bob were both so happy to have Shane live with them. They tried to get him to some of the Fraternity events so Shane could meet some people. He just never felt up to it. As a freshman, I know Will never felt part of anything because we had moved here from Florida so he didn't even have friends across campus. I do know, if Shane ever feels like it, the Fraternity brothers would all love to have him over to the house. Just call the dorm room and Bob and Will will take care of it. God Bless all of you during Shane's time of illness.

Hey Shane,

My eldest son Alex would love to have been in Red Green's chair. He pretty much rolls on the floor laughing when we watch it. You are looking good but hey "If the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy". Hmmm Maybe doctors should try duct tape, it fixes everything else!

Hi Shane, Christi and I hit an amusement park on the way home from Philly. It is a sister park to Cedar Point called Dorney Park. We were able to ride a few coasters. Christi was a little sore from having marrows but she did not let it get in her way. Sorry to see that CMU lost to Toledo (I am a UT alum) So how about an OSU v Mich bet?? How many point will you spot me??
Take care and always thinking of you.

I was just checking your journal. Don't hate me, but I have a question...

Who/What is the Red Green show?

How's your Mom doing since Christopher Reeve passed away? Last time I talked to her she was thinking of making the family room the 'Chris Reeve room'. I can't wait to see the posters on all the walls.
I think of you often and always include you in my prayers.

What a weekend, what was supposed to be a great weekend going to the JG half time show and possibly the UofM game certainly turned out different then planned but I'm so glad you are doing better and may be home soon. You are an incredible person with alot of fight and that is super. At this point I just say, keep up that fight! You've been the winner every time so do whatever you need to do to continue.

By the way, did you like the Lance Armstrong bracelet? I haven't taken mine off since I got it as I need to keep remembering to "Live Strong".

Hi Shane! Sorry to hear you are back in the hospital. Things sure made a quick change to the rough side last week, hey? Hopefully things will turn equally quick to feeling better and getting back to school. Are you showing your new colors while down there or still sporting blue and gold? Glad you got to catch at least some of the Michigan game on TV....great game! Did you get to see the clip of the drum major at half time....I immediately thought of you and how much you would have enjoyed seeing his performance. In fact I was wondering if you were there. What a shock to learn today that you were admitted instead. Keep up the positive attitude Shane...between that and the power of prayer you will be back to your routine before you know it. Take care. As always you (and your family) are in my prayers.

Gosh, is that blue & gold/yellow blood turning to the CMU colors(maroon & gold, right?) yet? Sounds like college is going rather well and you are still working in all of your chemo/blood/etc. I think this is much easier on you then your folks but that might be a toss up.

By the way, my total for Relay for Life did turn out to be $1,875 not bad but how could we expect less when my efforts were dedicated in your honor!

Enjoy the few days we have left of summer and don't wear yourself out too much. Keep up the good work and know that we will continue to keep you in our prayers.

Opps, one more thing, you may already have a Lance Armstrong braclet that says LIVE STRONG but I picked one up for you. I will have Bob take it to work and give it to your Dad.

Love, thoughts & prayers

Dear Shane and Cathy,

I had the urge to check in on you guys this evening. I hope things have started feeling better since Cathy's report on 9/9. (No kidding about hospitals on holidays--we had our share of that in Michigan, too.) It's fun to read the posts from people at CMU--makes me feel a little bit like a freshman all over again myself!

Today is six weeks since the day that Simon breathed his last. We are moving through this time and doing OK. Of course we miss him like nuts. I continue to feel at peace with the way his final months unfolded, even though I wish it all never had to happen.

I wish good living for you, Shane. I hope your drugs add up to reduced symptoms and good pain relief and that you enjoy your time in college.

Fondly all the way from Utah,

Mary

Shane, it was nice seeing you at the game Friday and it is great to know you are going to see Red and the Gang. Hope you get to meet Hap and let him know you love roller coasters, but of course, he probably designed one better than the best in the world and it was rejected because it would be too much fun or something. Maybe you�ll be one of the lodge members at the end of the show! Let me know all of the details when you return. Have a great day and keep your stick on the ice.

(i've learned). This is their way of showing independence??? Anyway, Shane I know you have the strength and willpower to do whatever you want and God is behind you 100%. You will be fine at CMU.

Shane- I'm so glad your mom keeps everyone informed about how you're doing. I find myself drawn to your site and then I sometimes read about other kids going through the same ordeal. It truly makes you appreciate your health and that of your family. I am so proud of you with everything you've accomplished and now you take on CMU! The Chippewaws will never be the same!

Wow, Shane, another step in life! Going off to college and living away from home, exciting and scary all at one time! Congratulations and good luck with this new phase of life.
Relay for Life is over and I am very proud to tell you that I far surpassed my goal and by this afternoon the total that I've collected is $1,875. I still have the rest of the week to be able to turn in donations and I'm hoping to get to $1,900(actually I'm greedy enough to wish I could get to $2,000). All my efforts in collecting have been dedicated to you. It is my thank you to you for being my inspiration. You are one great person with alot of fight, confidence and determination!
You will always be in my prayers and thoughts.

Hi Shane...Congratulations on registering at CMU. I hope you were able to get the classes you wanted. What an exciting yet scarey time. I had planned to go there and was accepted when I graduated but then chickened out so I am impressed with your determination. Of course, this is where turning 18 and becoming an adult really kicks in because it will be up to you to make sure you take care of yourself. Not always an easy thing to choose what is best for you over what you really want to do especially if it means choosing rest over all the excitement college life has to offer but I'm sure you will do well. You will do well because you are Shane...the one who always impresses us all with his ability to adapt and triumph. Good Luck Shane and again congratulations.

Hi Shane,
I told you that I was dedicating all my efforts to your honor for the Relay of Life this year. I will let you know my final figure but I'm very proud to tell you that it looks like I may hit $1,500 this year. You have been my inspiration through my battle with cancer and you have given me the power to keep going on my collection of donations. Way to go to both of us! Once again, I will let you know my final total once I turn in my final report!
Keep up the positive thinking and good luck at college, wherever you decide to go.

I'm sure it will all work out...just remember to put what is really best for you above what you would like. It's unfortunate the two are not always the same. Whatever you decide, take care of yourself! I will continue to keep you in my prayers along with your friends who are struggling also.

I feel so far removed from the days of clinic already, but I can remember the "see ya next weeks"... It's so hard to realize that we are done. I miss my other hospital family, but thank God for my NB family! I wish we never needed to find each other, but I am so glad that we did!
Blessings to your family! Thank you for remembering us in your update! The prayers are probably all that is holding us together. I miss my angel, but am so glad that she is able to rest and play without the pain...

Prayers were with you and once again, they worked!

Once again the power of prayer prevails. So glad Shane was able to participate. Too bad the band didn't get to perform as many times as planned but what an honor and experience to be there at all. I watched some of it on TV hoping to catch a glimpse of the band and the amount of people was awesome. Can't imagine being in the middle of it. That poor bus driver...hope there was bonus pay in that assignment. And what about those fellow Bobcats rallying around to be sure Shane got to go. Speaks volumes about the wonderful person you are Shane that you have so many supporters with such deep dedication to you and your family. WAY TO GO BOBCATS!!!

Take Care of yourself while you are there...rest when you need to. I'll be praying that everything goes well and you get to do everything you want to do while there.

Dear Shane and Cathy and Family,

It was so good to see Cathy up on Mott 7th floor while we were visiting in Ann Arbor a couple of weeks ago. Now that we are living in Utah, we've become proficient at administering chemo ourselves at home. Martha and the gang at the peds infusion room at UM were amazed to hear that we do it at home. It seems in Utah that there is more emphasis on making care possible at home.

Anyway, I know you "love" driving to Ann Arbor to see everyone there. But I wonder if you could save some energy and look into treatments at home? Just a thought.

I, too, am counting on Shane's chemo to help him feel way better. Simon actually IS feeling better. He's back in school on a regular schedule. Two weeks ago, I wouldn't have believed it was possible. I know you've tried it all; does that include temazolomide?

I am thinking of you all and rooting for Shane to have his dreams come true.

Shane you are an inspiration to me. Your beautiful smile and those of your family tell me that although this road has been rough for everyone you are not letting it get you down or slow you down. I really admire that! I will pray for you and for all the neuroblastoma children. God will heal. Marcia Kenney, North Palm Beach, Fl.

Hi Shane and Family, I work with your grandma Sherrie and used to work with your mom. I have always kept up on how you are doing. I feel real bad when I hear you are having a rough time. and real good when it's good news. You have always been a inspiration to me, you have fought a good fight. I will always continue to keep praying for you and your family. You have a lot of good people in your corner. I know that your grandmother is one of your biggest fans and so very proud of you.

It sounds like you had a good time at school and what an honor to have the drum majors from U of M there. Then it sounds like you got several neat things from them-that should have made you smile. (you deserve every bit of it)

It's too bad that you had to be admitted but I know it is much more comforting when you are right there with the doctor and nurses that are familiar with you. I guess you are there often enough that they are like family to you so maybe it isn't so bad after all.

You continue to be in our thoughts, many daily prayers and we send our love your way.

Hi Shane! Happy Belated 18th! I like reading your guestbook entries from all of your "JG Bobcat" friends. I graduated from Glenn in 1987. I know, that's a million years ago! (Not as many as your Dad though!) I recognize so many of the names from your entries. It's really neat knowing that some of the same teachers are still there. I must admit though, now I'm an official Garber fan! (Just because my two boys are Essexville students.) We really hope you get to feeling better soon Shane! Trisha, Jade & Jacob

Hi Shane...So sad to read that you are back at U of M. (Not that it is a bad place, just that it's not good when you have to be admitted there.) How quickly your days can go from better to worse. Keep the faith and all of us will keep the prayers coming for better days. What a wonderful thing your school and U of M did with the band and drum majors. Glad you could get there to enjoy it. Hang in there and rest up for those Red Wings playoff games. Take Care!

I was at the Relay for Life Kick Off tonight and was sorry that you weren't feeling well enough to be there but your "speech" was read and it was very touching to all in attendance. As I told you, I am dedicating all of my efforts to you this year. You have been a true inspiration to me, are so upbeat and just continue doing as much as you can. I will work very hard at getting donations and hope to get over $1,000.
Hope you feel better soon.

Hello Shane! My name is Nancy Harrison Mattheiss. I went to school with your dad in H.L. A friend of mine from H.L. just forwarded me your website address. What a wonderful tool to communicate your story. I know some of what you are going through as I had cancer last year: the tests, surgeries, chemo treatments, the shots. I also know how encouraging it is to hear from people all over the U.S. Now you can add Tennessee to your list. You hang in there and be strong. I know it's hard sometimes but a good attitude is great medicine. I will also pray for you and put your name on our churches prayer list. May God be with you as you continue to fight this awful disease. (Hello Randy, you have a very nice looking family! Sorry to hear your son is going through this. I never thought something good could come out of having cancer but the Lord really helped me through mine and blessed me in ways that I never expected. Looks to me like you all have a lot of support too. Well, don't want to take up too much room but I wanted to let you know that Joyce sent me your address, that I am thinking about you and we will be praying for your entire family.)

Hi! I am happy that you had a good Easter and I hope chemo goes well! I can definatley relate to the unease Shanes quietness causes. Even if we can't fix our kids, we can't even try when they don't talk to us. It's a helpless feeling, but I know you understand that he'll be back, so to speak. I think of you often and hope Shane feels better very soon. Stay strong and take care!

Hi Cathy...Thanks for taking time to do the updates. Whether we personally know Shane or not, many of us anxiously await word that our prayers are working and he is doing better.

Remember when you were done, I asked you who was yelling at you from the far end of the field, you told me, "it's just my Dad telling me to go faster and keep going".

Just wanted to say Happy Easter to you and your family. Are you having a big dinner with lots of relatives? We are and they are all coming to our house(but none seem to stay for the clean up-funny how that happens, huh?). The twins are staying over night(almost 14 yr old) & then I will take them to the dentist Monday & then up to Bentley(kind of by Standish). Then Bob & I are going to Mt. Pleasant & hopefully we will come back richer but I'm not counting on it because it hasn't happened yet. Thursday I am going to my sister's in Texas but only for the weekend for a shower. It has been in the 80s down there, I hope to bring some of the heat back with me! Hope the bunny hops into your place & leaves you some goodies.
Love, lots of thoughts & loads of prayers,

Hi Shane, Glad to hear you are still a TV(game show i mean) addict. I am still working at Bangor Central. Mrs Reed says you tease her all the time. My niece Emily said they have seen you down at the clinic. She loved coming to the Glenn football games and watching the band. I think that was her favorite part,and the hot chocolate too!! Take care. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Laurie Comtois

Shane,
Just want you to know that we are thinking of you and always on the outlook for updates. I love the Game Show Channel too and watch it when I don't feel like doing anything else.
I have put something together for you but have had the sniffles which I think are just the spring alleries but wouldn't take the chance of bringing any germs out to you. So it will either wait or maybe I will give it to Bob to give to your Dad at work.
Take care and we'll talk to you again soon.
Lots of Love, Thoughts and most of all Prayers come your way daily.

Shane I think of you often. Your strength and courage provide a lesson for all of us. You and your mom need to come in again and confuse me some more about mailing in those college apps. I am the only one is our house that loves Taco Bell. You can eat one of those tacos for me. I can appreciate your craving for them. When I was pregnant for my fist child it was wop salads from Grandpa Tony's. I lived on them.

WELCOME HOME, SHANE!
Now let's hope that things go ok and you can stay home around your family and friends.
It took me a long time to learn that it was easier(& more comfortable) to lay down and/or take a nap instead of pushing myself at home instead of having to spend more time in the hospital. Guess we all like to be superman/woman and make others think we feel better then we do but darn, it wears you out so much, doesn't it? Do what is best for you, not others. That goes for you too, Cathy!!! Ask for help when you need it-there are alot of people out there willing to pitch in.
Love and Prayers, prayers and love and more prayers continue to come your way along with loads of thoughts of you and your family.

To the Taco Kid!!!
It's funny how when something tastes good, it REALLY tastes good! I went thru that with wafer cookies. Nothing else sounded good or tasted good. Weird when you think about it but whatever it takes to keep nourishment going is all that matters.
Shane, I just want you to know that I think you are the most remarkable person and as I have told you many times, you have been my inspiration for the last 5 years. I want you to know that I am dedicating all of my efforts to collect donations for Relay for Life this year to you. I am hoping to collect a record total for both of us. They use the funds for research for cures for all types of cancer and we certainly know that cures are so badly needed.
Keep your chin up and keep Taco Bell in business. Hope you get home within the next day or two.
Prayers, thoughts and love are sent your way!

Dear Shane and Cathy and Family,

Stopping by to see how things are going. I'm sorry to hear there's more stuff going on to keep you busy at the hospital. I hope the discomforts fade quickly and that time opens up for you all to enjoy the arrival of spring. And I hope your spring in Michigan isn't too far behind the lovely spring we are starting to see in Utah.

Simon is now on the CEP-701 trial at UCSF. I think Dr. Yanik is opening it soon at Michigan. So far it's not bothering him. We'll find out in April if it's keeping cancer progression at bay. We hope to be in Ann Arbor in late April--perhaps we'll intersect?

We would be glad to help out in any way needed whether it be bringing in meals at home, going grocery shopping, running kids, doing laundry or whatever. Just give us a call.

Shane: I've been reading your journal since I found out about it from your mom last fall. I never knew what to write, especially since I would read all of the inspirational thoughts and prayers friends and family would send your way. Perhaps one thinks that adults don't look up to kids but I certainly look up to you and find you such an amazing person. Anyone who gets up in front of everyone at a pack meeting and sings "I'm a Little Teapot" while acting it out is one cool kid! (sorry to embarrass you). You and your family have always been in my prayers- you'll get through this!! Keep your chin up. Pat Wegener

I got to see his championship ring for being Big Ten champs. Wow, that ring had 70 diamonds in it. If Shane would like to meet him, I would be happy to arrange it. I'm trying to think spring, but it is very difficult when it is so cold out. Shane and Spring are on my prayer list.

Gosh, not the way to spend spring break! So sorry you weren't able to get to Flordia but they say there is a reason for everything-wish we could figure out those reasons at least some of the time.

Be glad you aren't marching in the parade, it is only 27 and while it is sunny, it is also very windy making it cold. We are watching it on tv in our living room which is warmer and closer to the food and bathroom-lol.

Hope you are feeling better and things start on the upward climb soon. The warm weather is supposed to be on the way but I will believe that when it actually happens.

We will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Hi! Shane sounds like Michaela in many ways! She also feels like the hospital is her 2nd family and we visit often now that we aren't inpatient as often as we used to! I still find it funny to say that Michaela needs her chemo, but like Shane, you can tell when it's time! I certainly hope that the chemo hits quick and takes the pain away! God bless you all and sends you many more family dinners!!!

Hi, I found your page on Sarah Smith's page. I am glad to find another parent to talk with. My son, Taylor, was dx with stage 4 Neuroblastoma on Oct. 10,2002 when he was 20 months old. He just turned 3 last week and is NED. In fact today is our first day off treament. He just took his last dose of Accutane last night. I must say, I am scared to death of those words... Off Treatment! I don't really remember life without it and I feel better knowing something is being done. I guess I have to learn to live again. I have added you all to my prayers and I hope he Shane can get some relief from the tumor on his back. May Glad bless your family!!

Hi Shane and family,

I've been reading Shane's site for a few months now and have been truly inspired by his story especially since my daughter, Sarah, was also an "older" NB IV diagnosis. (She was 6 1/2. when diagnosed in May of 2002.)

I'm just glad to see not someone just surviving but THRIVING on life and challenges and school and band. You always write about Shane being determined to go to school or band practice even when he's feeling crummy. I love the way he has decided to LIVE LIFE without backing down. You go, Shane!

I have joined the Lunch for Life Campaign (actually, it was more than a "$5 lunch"). I will send the information to friends to spread this word.

I'm sure that Michigan's big win yesterday helped make you feel really good (I'm one of those green & white people & I didn't feel too good watching them lose in the last few seconds).

I read that you were able to go to the Blue Men Group. We saw them in Vegas and they were great! Different then we expected but a good show.

a great time, sure hope you enjoy it! I'll have to stop by
and take a dip one of these days and we can play "dunk your
dad". Take it easy and see ya soon. Klondike

Hi Shane!
I found your website through friends, Christi Thomas and family. My son, Jay, is 15, and also has NB stage IV. He was diagnosed Jan. 2002, and we have been at MSKCC almost ever since then. I wish we had met you when you were here in NY in April. Jay is always bemoaning the fact that there are not any teenage boys to hang out with at the Ronald McDonald House.

I am very impressed with how you are still so active with school and the band. Marching band is just as physically grueling as playing a sport. I know, since I was very much into band in high school. I think that is great that you all will be going to DC next year! Good luck with the drum major try-outs!

I will keep checking in and praying for things to go well for you! Keep up the good fight!
Love,
Virginia and Jay B. <www.caringbridge.com/md/jaybarnett>

I was so thrilled by your picture that my family knew immediately that your site was one I would bookmark. They say I bleed blue and Maize,and last time I looked, they were right!

We are also on the journey with Zoe, 4-years old and in stage 4 of this beastly illness.

I hope that Drum Major comes through and if you are grilling throw on a Kogels Hot Dog for me.

God Bless You and your family.

Shane,

I work with your Dad and even though I have never met you, I feel as if I have known you all your life. You are a very amazing young man, your dad talks about you all the time. You have a wonderful outlook for what you have been through and everyone is so proud of you for all your strength and love that you give back to your family and friends, who love you very much. I look forward to meeting you soon, until then keep up the faith and hang in there!!!

Thinking of you often,

I am constantly asking Bob how Shane is doing and he brought me home the website today. Wow, you do a great job of keeping us updated. Shane you are in our daily prayers and will continue to be until you is able to beat this CRAPPY disease. I know I've told you before but you are my inspiration to hang tough while battling cancer. It's not fun but it's worth the fight! Keep up the good work!

I also am a co-worker of your Dad's but also claim myself to be a good friend of his. I know he tells you often that you are a great kid, but when you're not around he tells "others" the same thing! I want to know are you driving yet?
