Hey Beecher family!
I saw this poem on another Caringbridge website and I wanted to share it with you:
My First Christmas in Heaven --- I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart, but I am not so far away. We really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, and be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above. I send you a memory of my undying love. After all "love" is the gift, more previous than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do, for I can't count the blessing for love he has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year."
I know Christmas has passed, but still, we can celebrate it all year long!
God bless ya'll! I know this is late, but Merry Christmas!

Jess appeared to me, with her angel wings and all, this morning in a day dream. She was the most beautiful angel! Just out of the clear blue she appeared for a split second. I had not thought of her in a few days. I don't know why this happened but I just wanted you to know. She is in the minds of many of us this season as well as you and the rest of your family and All those who are close to her-
Thinking of Christmas and your angel.

We have been thinking of your family a great deal during this holiday season, knowing there is a big void without Jess, and praying for strength for you to get through each day. Grandma Kathy and I had a little chat about all of you the other day. Also enjoyed seeing your family picture at Brad and Sara's. We gave a holiday plant to Good Shepherd in Jess' memory; those memories of her short life on earth will bring smiles and happy thoughts to your family. God's blessings to you.
Love from Jane and Jerry.

I saw this letter on another site I was visiting and I thought of you... My heart aches for you this holiday season, but I know that you are surrounded by so many prayers and hugs from all those that love Jess. Time is so funny as it can whiz by when you don't want it too, yet it can seem is if it is standing still. 6 months has flown by and it is hard to believe it has been that long, however it seems like an eternity before you can see your little angel.
Take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute and know that you are always in our thoughts.
A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
Mommy, I dreamed you a letter. This comes from Heaven above. Even though I'm up here, I can still feel your love.
In Heaven, there is no sorrow. There's never any pain or fear and would you believe I've not been sick one time since I've been here.
You'd be so proud of me mommy. I can do so many things and everyone says I took real cute in my halo and my wings.
Every year at Christmas, we have a great big tree up here and guess who gets to be the angel on top of the tree this year.
Mommy, I dreamed you this letter that I'm sending you tonight to tell you not to worry and to let you know that I'm alright.
Sometimes I hear you crying and I wish you weren't so sad cuz I think you're the best mom any angel ever had.
So please don't feel bad for me. I'm in God's tender care and he wanted me to tell you that he hears your every prayer.
I know you miss me mommy. You know I miss you, too, but remember me and God are always watching over you.
We want you to have a good life full of happiness and joy. I'll see you in your dreams mommy. Love your little girl .

Sweet Little Jess,
I thought of you today. Even though I never knew or met you, I know that you traveled to Heaven on the very same day as my baby boy William. With each month that passes, it gives me comfort to know he did not travel alone. I know Jesus wrapped his warm and loving arms around the two of you, realizing one was just as sweet as the other. I know your family aches without you, as I do without my baby. Your grandma Kathy is so good at reaching out to me and reminding me that we are not alone. I'm sure it's because she loves and misses you so much and she knows it keeps your sweet little spirit alive to share you with us. Hold your family close through the holidays. They need your strength to get through a very tough time without you. Lots of love Sweet Jess!

Away in a manger no crib for a bed. The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky look down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing the poor baby wakes. But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky and stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. BE NEAR ME LORD JESUS I ASK THEE TO STAY, CLOSE BY ME FOREVER AND LOVE ME I PRAY. BLESS ALL THE DEAR CHILDREN IN THY TENDER CARE. AND TAKE US TO HEAVEN TO BE WITH YOU THERE.
I miss you little one - I love you baby girl.

Hi Beechers.....It seemed like today I found myself looking at a lot of pictures of Jess. I know God gives us these nudges to continue to pray for you. Your hearts are aching, I know that. Christmas is still a difficult time of the year without mom; I know it is going to be hard for you and grandparents and aunts and uncles. I pray that you will feel Jess' kisses and hugs and hear her laughter and see her eating ice cream...I pray that you can see every square inch of her and feel Jesus gently cradling you as you long for your baby girl. God be with you during this precious time of our Christian lives because He understands that the shadows can be big and the light can be difficult to see when your heart is hurting..love you all....Auntie P and Uncle T

Hi Jason and Amy,
I found these two poems and thought you might enjoy them.
Death of a Child
by Sandy Eakle
Sorry I didn't get to stay,
to laugh and run and play.
To be there by your side,
I'm sorry that I had to die.
God sent me down to be with you,
to make your loving heart anew.
To help you look up and see
both God and little me.
Mommy & Daddy, I wish I could stay,
Just like I heard you pray.
But, all the angels did cry
when they told little me goodbye.
God didn't take me cause He's mad.
He didn't send me to make you sad.
But to give us both a chance to be
a love so precious... don't you see?
Up here no trouble do I see
and the pretty angels sing to me.
The streets of gold is where I play
you'll come here too, mommy & daddy, someday.
Until the day you join me here,
I'll love you mommy & daddy, dear.
Each breeze you feel and see,
bring love and a kiss from me.
*************
MY FIRST CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN
This poem was written by a 13 year old boy who died of a brain tumor that he battled for 4 years. He died 12-14-97
He gave this to his mom before he died. His name is Ben.
I see the countless Christmas Trees,
around the world below,
with tiny lights,
like heaven's stars,
reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs,
that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare
with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description,
to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me.
I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away.
We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones.
You know I hold you dear,
and be glad I'm spending Christmas,
with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of,
my undying love.
After all "Love" is the gift,
more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the
stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessing or love
He has for each of you.
So, have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember,
I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

Myles and I just wanted you to know that we are thinking about you all the time and especially this time of year. Our prayers are with you and Noah.

Thanks for the sweet pic of Jess, your little angel down here on earth that gave you so much joy. A reminder of how "every day love" is what can sometimes be cherished most. Happy every day love to you all.

Dear Amy, I check Jess's web page every night after I put Morgan and Riley to sleep. I just had to let you know that we lost our dear puppy of 7 months on Halloween morning. We played outside with him on Tuesday and when I went to let him out on Wednesday morning he was gone. We had him checked out at the vet clinic just to see what happened. The vet clinic sent us a card and a little note in it that said "whenever a pet passes away....God gives them to a child in Heaven." I just started to cry because I know that Romo will take great care of Jess and Jess will take good care of him. I hold you close to my heart.
Wishing you love and peace. Love always your cousin Kristy

Jess looks so beautiful in this picture. We miss her so much. Ky was looking at her pictures yesterday, saying "Jess! Jess!" Amy~ your friendship means so much to me. In in the midst of your grief, you are looking out for other people, sharing their grief and trying to make it easier for them. The book you made is amazing and I will treasure it forever. Your hubby is also one amazing guy and we are humbled aand forever grateful for what he is doing for TS. I love you all so much! Love Maria

Hi guys -
What an adorable picture. We find our girls in a very similar position most mornings. Know that your are in our prayers daily - that God will walk you through each day and hold you especially close through the holidays and Miss Jess' birthday.
Thanks, Jason, for helping with the spill and letting the girls hang out with you guys for a bit during church.
God Bless -

Dear Beecher family,
I just wanted you to know that I include your sweet Jess in my prayers each night. I am sorry that I did not see a couple of recently mentioned pictures, as I had been sick and not checked up on my "prayer children" for a couple of weeks. I hope Jess's headstone turned out as you pictured it -- it must be surreal to have to "picture" that -- and that she will send you a sign that she thinks it is perfect.
Please know that as the holiday season approaches and it seems like everyone is so focused on being with family and friends -- or worse, not appreciating the fact that they ARE able to be with their family and friends -- and you are wondering how can they do that when our lives have such a huge hole in them, that I, and I am CERTAIN, many others, will be remembering you and your sweet girl, not only in prayer, but throughout each day during this especially difficult time. Amidst the hustle and bustle of this time, please know that I will take the time to think of you and your family, and of so many others I know of who have suffered the unimaginable, and will send thoughts of comfort your way, and offer up special prayers.
Please know that even though the guest book may have but a few entries, or that they are more spaced apart, Jess is not, and never will be, forgotten.
Remembering your girl each night in prayer,
Janet McCann

I don't know how I stumbled across your site. From one CB child to another, I somehow found your link. I was prompted to write when I saw the date that your sweet child passed. I also lost my baby boy that day. It has been a difficult road since, as you know so well. I once counted days, then Mondays, then weeks, now months since I last saw my sweet Angel. I know your pain and I am beyond sorry for your loss. Like you mentioned in your post, we are part of a club we wish we didn't belong to. But we do and we don't have to go through it alone. I'll be thinking of you and your sweet Jess and keeping you all in my prayers. Take care.

Jason,
What a lovely poem. I am amazed each time I read Jess's page of the strength of this family. I know you hurt and I am sure I am not alone when I say I would love to turn back time and rewrite the last chapter. Oh, if only that were possible. Jess has made a huge impact in so many lives and although most of us are puzzled at God's will or plan; someday we will all be united again and ever joyful in the hug and kisses we can give little Jess.
Amy,
You are a tremendous individual and I admire so much about you. Your a very strong friend and I appreciate you more then you know it. The coffee is always good when shared in the company of a great friend. I think of you often and although i do not have time to write, you are all in my thoughts and prayers and I am here for you.

I am a member of the club as well, though mine was by miscarriage. I think yours is harder because you know what you're missing. I just wonder what they would have been like. The hardest for me is when people ask how many children I have. As for Heaven, my hope is that JESUS will meet me with my Micah Rhys in HIS arms, so I can meet them both together!

Your poem is wonderful, thanks for sharing it. God bless you with wisdom and patience with yourself and those around you all as you heal. It is never "by the book", but someday... the sun will shine again, I promise.

Jason, Amy and Noah: I read your entry tonight and was moved beyond belief. I couldn't imagine the depth of your aching heart until now and I thank you for sharing it with us. Answers may not come to you until you 'run through heaven's gates', but we do know that Jess was given to you for a reason. She filled your lives with much happiness and love for the short years of her life, and in turn you shared that love and happiness with us. She is remembered daily with the smile of wonder on her face as she looked upon things new to her. I will not forget those eyes or that curiosity. I believe that Jesus will heal you, and you will always be blessed with Jess' life. We love you very much and continue to pray for that healing.

That is Jess. Her footprint is embedded into our hearts forever...Thank you for her life oh Sweet Jesus!! Oh Jason, my heartache tonight as I read your entry is so very real. It is breaking for you...and the empty arms you have that want to hold your baby girl. May God cradle you and keep you close. He knows your hurt....and I think He says that this is just for a "season". Time on this earth seems sometimes forever as we long for our babies...but it is soon Jason...soon in God's time.

Hello. I'm not sure if I've ever signed the guestbook before. I may have when I first heard about your beautiful Jess, but I check for "updates" every day.
No worries that you aren't feeling "better" yet. I don't think that will ever come. I think we'll find ways to cope and ways to smile through the tears, but our children will never, ever leave our hearts. It's been a year and a few days for me and the pain is just as hard and unbearable as the day my Sophia died.
It's a group none of us wanted to join, but maybe, if we're there for each other, we can help ease a bit of the pain.
May you be blessed and find some comfort in each other.
You're in my prayers.

What a beautiful poem for your sweet Angel. I came to you through Caroline and Angels Drew and McKenna when Jess was fighting at Childrens. I have not checked in a while but then when I went to wish Kylie a Happy Birthday I saw your post in her guestbook so I thought I would stop by. It is hard to beleive that was 3 months ago. My cousin Alexandria (19 months)was also suddenly called to be an Angel that same weekend after fighting for most of her life too. Although she did not fight the seizure monster she had so many other battles. I will keep you in my prayers as you try to get through this time without your Sweet Girl.

I so wish I had some words to help ease the pain you are feeling. I don't, of course have any magic, so I will just keep praying for moments of peace to mix with the feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, ...... As Lexie and I sat here stealing some quiet time before the other 2 wake up, she saw the picture and said "kiss, baby". Oh how I wish you could still hold and kiss your baby girl. Until that day when you can run to each other at Heaven's gate, may you find some small comfort knowing how many people care so much for your family and would take your pain away if only we could.
Hug & prayers

A beautiful entry, Jason. I wish so that something, someone, could take away your pain. But if that would be the case, you would have never had the chance to love someone in the way you love Jess. You truly have a gift of expression in words and because of that you help others who have struggles in their lives. (most have never and should never have the struggles you have experienced) Thank you for telling your feelings. We need to hear more about love in this world and the next.

My husband and I had our beautiful baby son on July 22 of this year. The first song I sang to him was the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" for Jess. Then, when he was baptized, the congregation sang "Jesus loves me," I couldn't help but cry once again for Jess and your family. Please know that you and your family will always be in our hearts!

Photos of your sweet Jess and your family are often on my mind. While doing the laundry, I have thought of Jess smiling in a or two and while watering my marigolds, I thought of your beautiful garden for Jess. I've never met your family but your journey has touched my life and made me more aware of how fragile life is...and how things are really out of our control. Praying for peace in your hearts and strength to get through the day. Take care of each other and seek support from others when you need it.

Jason- I can understand how you feel I have a little baby that passed away 2 years ago. And I remember the pain that you are feeling now. And I go thru days where I feel the pain the same as the day I lost her. And then I have days that I can get by alright. I have some songs that I have made into a CD and when I miss her I listen to them and it helps. I wish that we did not have to be a part of that club it is one no parent ever wants to be a part of. I have followed your family for quite some time now, I did not write much before I have thought and prayed for you guys everyday. So does my daughter, she is 5 her name is Madisyn and loves you guys and loves hearing about you and how your family is doing. She will ask from time to time if she can go and see Jess to play with her. I always tell her that Jess is in heaven with baby Alex and that when she sees Alex again she can meet Jess.

Jason, Amy and Noah~
We love you guys so much. Your beautiful angel will be forever missed by our family. Jason~ your poem is beautiful- and perfect. Thank you for loving our sweet girl. How I wish she was sharing moochies w/ her friends again. What a sweet day it will be when all our babies are together again, free to play without pain, without meds and without seizures, as we all watch over them. They will all be RUNNING through Heaven's gates, in a way they were never able to do here on earth. Jess~ keep watching over my girl. She needs her angel friends with her now, more than ever.
Love you all so much~ Maria, Neil, Kylie and Ava

Jason, Amy and Noah....
I check this website everyday and even though I don't write very often I think of you three everyday. Noah, I hope your week is going good at school. Amy, I am glad that you are on day shifts now. Hopefully you all three are getting the sleep you need at night. Jason, this picture of you and Jess makes me smile. Love to see the love in your kiss on her face. Love it, love it, love it. Your poem touches my heart. Bless you for sharing that with us. The Lee's send all their love to you and please remember that you are in our prayers always.....Connie, Gary, Nate, Marissa and Kendra

We love you Beechers, I no longer think only of Drew and McKenna. When I miss them, I miss Jess too. I think of their smiles and their giggles. The only thing that keeps me going is knowing that someday we will be together again. Someday we will hold those babies again. Someday we will kiss those babies again, someday the questions will be answered.
Walking with you guys, every step of the way.
Love,
Shannon, Rand and Cam

Stopped by to check in. Jason, that poem is so awesome.
I can't imagine what you are going through. I think about her daily, and pray you have good day. How is Noah handling it all? I hope he is having better days at school. Cody and I have had lots of conversations about Heaven lately, we just buried my gramma today. I know that losing a grandparent is not the same as losing a child,but I do know the pain of trying to go on, trying to live life without them. Jess never knew my gramma, but if they meet, they would make a great pair of buddies. Jess is the same age as my nieces and my gram is going to need some little ones to snuggle. thinking of that makes me smile.
As always, God Bless and hugs.

I just love coming to this site and seeing Jess' happy smiling face! This is how I picture her in Heaven, happy, pain free, seizure free, smiling and giggling her days away! Waiting to meet you again when God calls you home. What a beautiful little Angel. I'm sure that doesn't bring you much comfort, for your arms are still empty, and your little boy misses his sister so very much. Wishing, praying for something to somehow make this more bearable for you. So sorry for your loss...
Love and (((HUGS))) sent your way,
~Jen
***Just wanted to let you know something really cool that happened this weekend, we were camping down by Mankato, and I haven't seen a dragon fly for a long time, but this past weekend, there were dragon flies and monarch butterflies together, right at our campsite, flying around together for most of the day on Saturday and Sunday. It was BEAUTIFUL! And made me think of your dear little Jess, and sweet little McKenna. How I miss her so dearly. They must be dancing in heaven with Drew.

Amy...your lives have hit a huge bump in the road...things have changed drastically in your home...without your sweet little girl is unbearable....and the tears from Noah may be a combination of a lot of reasons. I know he misses his little sister and I know he would love to laugh with her and kiss her. I am sure he is sad for his mommy and daddy's hurts. We pray that soon he will be anxious to go to school most days. I am so sad for you having to go through that big pain of wanting to be so close to your little girl again. I wish I could take that pain from you. Please know I love you guys tons...tomorrow brings another day...God hold you close...Aunt P

Hi! Amy, I saw your mom and Justin at the mall today and Justin showed me his new tatoo. I loved it. Morgan and Riley ask questions all the time about Jess. One of the questions is "DO you think Jess is riding CoCo (our little pony)?" She is forever in our hearts and you are always in our prayers. Please let me know when Justin sings at Starbucks because Stacy and I want to come. Take care.

It was so good to see you and visit a bit at the reunion. It made my day to see a smile on your face. Jess seemed nearby through you. You are both so brave, and seeing Noah having a good time was great. And even though living without Jess is the nightmare that should never be real, we hope, in time, sweet memories will help relieve the aching deep inside. We continue to keep you all in our hearts.

Dear Beechers,
Thank you so much for coming to help at the golf tournament. Kylie and Ava felt very comfortable with you guys and I know it must be hard for you to hold those little girls knowing how much you miss your Jess. I hope Jason's sore neck is getting better. Hope you got to use those Key's gift certificates, if not, I guess that gives you an excuse to come down for another visit. I hope Noah has a great start to the new school year. He is a very sweet little boy. Again thank you so much for helping this weekend be such a great success.

Jess' hair on your new picture looks ten times better than Auntie P's in the a.m. Aren't you so thankful for those wonderful pictures you took at every different times in her life?

Amy and Jason, I said a special prayer for Jess and had her bracelet on last night at the Stroll for Epilepsy. It was special to see Grandma, Grandpa and Noah there with their T-shirts~ I am sure it was a hard night for you guys.
I was awesome to see all the people who want to fight for this though. I still think of you often and miss Jess. The "Super C" story on the news was great~ the ending about Jess brought back my tears though.

It was so good to see a picture of little Jess at the end of the story. What a neat thing to do in her honor. You have met so many good friends who go through similar things to what you have gone through. We have read their sites and are praying for them all.

Such an adorable picture of Jess. She looks the epitome of beauty and innocence. There is a peace about her in this picture that really catches your heart.
I hope that learning the recipients of your extraordinary gifts helped make you proud of your decision, and to know that part of Jess still lives on (tangibly) in this world.
I pray for her and for your family each night.
Most sincerely,

I have never written on your site before but am a frequent visitor and have come through another cambridge site. I don't know your pain because no one can but I have lost my father to cancer within the last two years and I know my pain. Your donation of your daughter's organs is such a blessing to the recipients. How deep you must have dug to be able to reach into your soul at the moment of your greatest loss and help others. You live your faith and what a treasure that is these days. May God bless you during these rainy days and please know so many people pray for you and your family.

AMY- I would have to say you are one of the strongest people I have ever met. The way you care for other people is amazing. Even though you are in a state of devastation you can still make people feel good about themselves. That quality is unbelievable--you are unbelievable. You are truly amazing. I will always miss your presence on nights when you work days-Amy you were my sanity. My one escape from the craziness (people and situation:). But I will still see you and that will make me happy. Love ya and praying and thinking of you always

It was great to meet you again at the get together. I wish we could have met under different circumstances, but I believe we all come into each other's lives for a reason. So, know that you're in the hearts of another family, and that you're always in our thoughts and prayers.

Such a beautiful picture of Jess to keep in our hearts and minds. The itsy bitsy spider- I can't sing that since Jess memorial service without thinking of her. At that time I thought of Jess' life. How, like the itsy bitsy spider she would try to climb back up and heal after one of her seizure bouts. But then God shined on her and she was able to climb way above it all, all the way to a place where she would never have to deal with the rain again.That rain is still pouring for you and so many. But we know God will once again bring the sunshine, as you said, for you too. We are praying you will be lifted up to a place of peace also. And you can be sure she is being cared for and loved as much as she was here.Please accept our love and concern for you all during this so lonely time.

Jason, Amy and Noah: Your continued strength is a testiment to many. As I read your journal entry, I once again could see in my heart at the wonderfulness of God's love and patience for all his children. He will give you all that you need at this time and until the time you may hold Jess in your arms in our true home. I also pictured Jess free of all pain, seizure and medication and running and laughing and talking to those grandparents that are now loving her as much as we do. You are always in our prayers and thoughts and hearts. We love you very much and are here for anything you may need. Thank you for continuing to share with us. You all are very important to us and we love you.

I am so proud of you. Jess was so blessed to have you as parents and loving caregivers on earth. God knew what he was doing when he chose you for her. And that is true for Noah as well. I don't know which of you wrote the last entry but it is beautiful and true and a powerful way to read or sing the song. We are the itsy bitsy spider. I love you! Mom

I think and pray for your family every day. I came across this poem and thought of you.
What Makes A Mother
I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "What makes a Mother?"
And I know I heard him say
A Mother has a baby
This we know is true
But, God, can you be a mother
When your baby's not with you?
Yes, you can he replied
With confidence in his voice
I give many women babies
When they leave it is not their choice
Some I send for a lifetime
And others for the day
And some I send to feel your womb
But there's no need to stay.
I just don't understand this God
I want my baby here
He took a breath
and cleared his throat
And then I saw a tear
I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say
"We go to earth to learn our lessons
of love and life and fear
My mommy loved me so much
I got to come straight here
I feel so lucky to have a Mom who had so much love for me
I learned my lessons very quickly
My Mommy set me free.
I miss my Mommy oh so much
But I visit her each day
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow is where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And whisper in her ear
Mommy don't be sad today
I'm your baby and I am here"
So you see my dear sweet one
Your children are okay
Your babies are here in My home
And this is where they'll stay
They'll wait for you with Me
Until your lessons are through
And on the day you come home
they'll be at the gates for you
So now you see
What makes a Mother
It's the feeling in your heart
It's the love you had so much of
Right from the very start
Though some on earth
May not realize
Until their time is done
Remember all the love you have
And know that you are
A Special Mom

Please know how much we care and love you....how much we think of you....how much we wish there was some way to take away your pain. Dear Heavenly Father, I would ask that you give Amy, Jason and Noah a good night's sleep tonight. I ask in your precious and holy name that you would help them tomorrow to get through the things that they need to do. I ask that you would help them to feel your touch and that you would carry them when they need carrying. I ask Dear Lord that you would give that special little Jess kisses and hugs and tell her Lord how much she is missed and loved. Thank you for Jess, and thank you for Amy, Jason and Noah.

I wanted you to know that I am thinking of your family daily wondering how do you pick up the pieces and go on . Although we never met , I followed Jess' site for some time . It's kinda weird how you can become "attached" to a family over time on this Caringbridge thing isn't it ?
Like everyone else feels , Jess' passing has suckered punched me in the gut . Why do I take it so personal ? I have two boys that have seizures every single day of their lives . I hate seizures . I am sickened that seizures stole your baby girl from you . I am so sorry for your tragic loss and incredible pain .

I can't imagine how hard it is to return to normal for your family. I found myself, for the next few days after the funeral, just kind of wandering, and feeling numb and crabby. I recognized later how much of an impact Jess' death had on me. God be with you as you find the "new normal". Love you guys so much! Auntie Barb

Just wanted you to know that you are on my mind and heavy in my heart. I think of you and your dear Angel each and every day. I'm crying for your loss, and praying that somehow, someway, you will all be okay. As a mom with a 3 year old little blonde girl, I'm having such a hard time with your loss, I'm so sorry. You are wonderful people, wonderful parents, it's not fair! No, I don't understand, and I don't think we ever will until we all meet our Maker face to face one day. Loving you and praying from Minnesota.

Dear Beecher family,
Just wanted to let you know that I will continue to keep your sweet angel and all of you in my prayers. I cannot imagine what it must be like to watch the world continue on, as you say, and not stand there and scream, "Don't you understand that I just lost my baby girl?" I have always wondered how people cope with such a situation, and I guess the answers are as individual as the people themselves. I hope it helps in some small way to know that your little one will never be forgotten, and you will never stop being included in my prayers.

You don't even know me...but Jessica Worster is my cousin. She had a comment on her blog for her new arrival Aiden about your family and Jess's page. I had to go and read knowing my Jess must have cared for you all deeply. I sat and cried as I read all your entries...yes..EVERY one. I have a 1 year old daughter who is my one true joy and I cant imagine the grief you all must be feeling. I pray that all goes well for the loving gift you gave other families of ill children with the transplants. What a TRUE gift you have allowed Jess to give. You are amazing parents because we all would like to say we could do what you did...but how many of us really could. Please know that this complete stranger will be praying for your family as well as those of the transplants. May God heal your hearts with blessings galore.

I just cry every time I look at her beautiful face and I never even met her. I am not sure if it is because I have a 3 year old or that I am a mom or that she just touched my heart. Whatever it is please know that I am deeply saddened for you all. What a ray of sunshine she was. I am praying for your family to make it through each and every day.

I am a friend of Josie Bemis'. She has shared your story on Zoey's website. I felt the need to share with you that I admire your courage and praise your willingness to let your little angel, Jess, live in the lives of other children. My niece Stephanie died in 1984 from a heart defect she had since birth. She was 8 years old and we cherish those 8 years like only you can imagine. Heart transplants were not common and an option for us but I can assure you that if a family had been able to share such a precious, precious gift as the ones that you have shared with several other families, there would be no way to sufficiently express the gratitude. There is no way to comfort the pain that you are feeling right now but may you some day be able to even remotely understand what a selfless, priceless gift you have given some greatful families. May it bring you comfort in time to know that little Jess lives on and has blessed so many people both in her life and in her death.

While out at a campground with 7 children this weekend, on Saturday there were many butterflies. Some of the younger children were scared of them, and the older ones were amazed with them, how pretty they were and how one of them even landed on my toe. I told them all about your little Jess. The butterflies reminded me of her, the dragon flies reminded me of McKenna, and the lightening bugs over the river at night reminded me of Drew.
Praying for you, Jason, Amy & Noah. May God hold you during this time and may your little girl, Jess, visit you in your dreams.
Love & Hugs,

Amy~
I was cleaning my living room the other night and found a card you sent to me when Kylie wasn't doing so hot. It was something that comforted me greatly and I just want to share it again with you~
"God never leaves me.
In my ignorance, I have frequently thought
I have left God,
but that is altogether
impossible" ~Maya Angelou
The inside reads~
"Never doubt that God is with you
and that love goes with you
in all circumstances-
a protection, a shield, all around you."
I love you guys so much and am so blessed to have been a part of Jess's life, as well as a part of her death. I will never forget her sweet face, her mischivious smile and all of her sass. Kylie was looking at the picture of Jess giving her a kiss on the cheek and she then pointed to her cheek, with a huge grin. She will never forget her sweet friend. Jess, Muffin and Drew are going to be busy trying to keep the seizure monster away from Ky~ he has been busy! Know that I am always here for you, no matter what time of day or night. 9:39 pm will always tug at my heart, when I will take a few minutes to chat with your girl. I love you all~ Love Maria

Her smile, her laughter, her tears, her bravery will forever be apart of you and all of us that know her. She will forever be an inspiration to us all as you are also. Saturday was a testimony to the lives she has touched, what a wonderful celebration of who she is. I thank you for sharing her life with all of us and she will never be forgotten. Please call on us for anything you may need. We are praying for comfort and also praising God for our Angel and the life she shared with us all. Many hugs and kisses to you.

I was sent your caringbridge site by a dear friend who is friends with Shannon Olsen. My friend thought I would like to read Jess' story as my son is waiting on a transplant to save his life. I read through Jess' entire story and looked at the photo gallery with tears for your struggles and Jess' beautiful and sweet face. I watched as my friend's daughter Morgan struggled with the same "seizure monster" that you describe until she passed away in December. I envision them both doing things in heaven now that they were never able to do here on earth. Thank you for thinking of another child during the hardest, saddest day of your lives.
May God comfort you during this time,

I attended a funeral last week for my 19 month old cousin who was also taken so suddenly last Saturday. Because of people like you who donated your daughters organs we were able to have Alexandria with us for 9 more months than we would have. She was the recipient of a liver last fall. I am so sorry for the loss of your Sweet Jess.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I follow the Olson's website and also received an email from Shannon. I was deeply touched by your story. Jess is beautiful. I know the pain you are feeling, I truly do. I lost my little girl 6 months ago to Mitochondrial Disease- she had severe epilepsy from the Mito.
I feel the pain everyday. I am just now getting to the point where I don't cry each day, but there are days when tears just can't stop.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your little girl. I know you know she is in heaven, but I also know you miss her SO much here on earth with you, and the pain is immeasurable.
I'm so touched to read about you donating her organs- what a priceless gift- truly.

I have followed Jess' story for so long, although I'm not even sure how I learned about her and her family. Although her life was short on earth, she obviously was surrounded by so much love, encouragement and care! Her life, as she knew it, was perfect even with her seizures. I cannot think of a better way for Jess to live on through the ones she helped with the donation of her organs. What a selfless gift--your family remains in my thought and prayers.

I felt the need to write a note to you, after seeing a message from Meg on Tori Roth's website. Just wanted to let you know that I think it was an amazing gift of life that you have given to the other families to donate your daughter's organs. I'll be praying for you and your family during this especially difficult time. If it helps at all, rest assured that Jess is with Tori and they are both pain free...having the time of their lives.

Our thoughts are with you and your family this weekend as you celebrate Jess' life and all of the special things that made Jess the perfect little princess she was! In the midst of your pain, your family's courage and selflessness is so humbling. Although your hearts may be broken right now, relish in the thought that Jess' perfect heart has re-created life for someone else. Jess' love and spirit will live on. She's a pint-sized hero :)

I am so sorry to hear about your little girl. My daughter has suffered from infantile spasms and other seizures. I can't imagine how you must feel with having to say goodbye for now. It is amazing to think of the lives that will be forever changed because of the organ donations that you did. I pray that God will surround you with His comfort and peace.

Dear Jason, Amy & Noah, My heart goes out to you and your family. You don't know me, I work for Richard Krackow in Arcadia, and happened to see the news on the internet. I too have had a child die and I do know how you are feeling. If you ever need a listening ear, please feel free to email me at work or home. Your precious little girl, Jess, will always be in your hearts. It is so hard to have a child die before us. I applaud you in donating her organs, I wished I could've done that with my son, but was unable to. It will be 14 yrs in July since our son died. Know your family & friends are there for you and your family and don't be afraid to ask or tell people what you need. Sometimes if only a hug or shoulder to cry on. I remember those first few minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and then years....so take care of yourselves too! Peace, Love & Hugs. Judy my home email address is judejon@triwest.net feel free to email anytime, I check my email at home often.

Jason, Amy and Noah -
This past week has not just been 7 days, but a lifetime. The hours spent in the hospital pacing, worrying, crying and saying goodbye to sweet angel Jess have been unbearable. The life lived 8 days ago has been forever changed. Losing Jess has rocked many people to the core, and I know many of us will never, ever be the same. The future will be filled with more sadness, heartache, uncertainty and many, many tears. Please know I am here for you, whatever you need, whenever you need it. I know there isn't anything I can do to ease your pain, but know that I am here, I'm thinking of you and I'm crying with you. I love you all.
Sweet Jess, please watch over us all litle angel, lots of us need some of your braveness and we miss you more than you can imagine.
Hugs,
Jill

Dear Beecher Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I can still see Jess's smiling face in church as I think of her. You have been and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. When we heard the news, Jase went in his room and I could hear him praying out loud for all of you. I thank you Amy for helping to teach him how to pray and turn to God in both tough and good times as you were his first sunday school teacher. That is such a good example of what a strong, faith-based family you are and how you teach others and have been such a great foundation for so many other children in your family, church and I am sure the hospital. Take care and our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
Mike and Jodi Crockett and family

I found this poem and thought of your dear Jess.
A GIFT OF LOVE
A gift of love was given,
For just a little while;
A gift of love and laughter,
In a precious little child.
Someone to steal your heart away,
A little hand to hold;
Tiny footprints 'cross your life,
Now left upon your soul.
The echoes of soft laughter,
The sweetness of that face;
The child who brought you so much joy,
Will never be replaced.
So take each loving memory,
Of that precious little child;
In knowing a gift came down from God,
If for just a little while.
Allison Chambers Coxsey ~
May God be ever present in the coming days to bring you comfort and peace. Lean on the friends around you, they can take it, they are there because they love you all and they love your little Jess.
Sincerely,
Jen

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter, Jess Marie. We have never met but I am also a 7940 mom. My son had brain surgery shortly after Jess' in May of 2005. My heart grieves for your family. I will echo all the others before me who have said that donating Jess' organs was an amazing act. Love from Des Moines...

Dear Jason, Amy & big brother Noah,
My family has been so blessed to be a part of the church you also chose as home. We have prayed many prayers for you and Jess, and watched in awe as you have all managed to be such examples of grace, strength and love through everything. I felt such joy watching Jess take steps in the Sunday School room just a short time ago, knowing that it was indeed a monumental task for such a brave little girl. I now feel such a deep sadness for you, as I know that the road ahead of you will not be easy. Please know that her presence was a gift to us, and she will be greatly missed. May the knowledge that you have answered prayers of other families and their children keep you strong and happy, even as you grieve the loss of your precious Jess. May it bring you comfort to know that she is running and playing with our Father in heaven. Many prayers are going out to your family, and many prayers to those fortunate children receiving Jess's precious gifts, that their bodies will be healed because of your selflessness. If there is anything we can do, anything at all, please know that we will be there.

Our prayers are with your family Amy. I used to work with you now and then at the playstation. I remember Noah as the Buzz Light year boy! And then came that cute baby girl. I'm sure it's hard to count all the smiles she brought you. May you find strength through your faith and may your friends and family bring you the comfort you need, and may you have the days where you can snuggle up with one of Jess's favorite bears or shirts, or blanket and feel her next to your heart. Our Prayers are with you. Us Y gals will be helping out with salads but just let us know if you need anything. Now or months down the road.

I do not know your family, but have been following Jess' story for awhile. When I checked the site today and read your words and saw that beautiful picture, I have to tell you that I lost it at work. Jess reminds me of my daughter and I could not even imagine the pain you must be feeling. I feel as though I have lost a daughter of my own ~ that is how much sweet Jess has touched my heart and the hearts of many others. I am sure that the next few days, weeks, months will feel unbearable, but you will get through this. Jess is enjoying the biggest playground there is with some of her closest friends. She is free from the seizure monster, the meds, the hospital visits and is up in heaven singing, dancing, and giggling away. I wish you peace and comfort. You are amazing, inspirational parents, please remember that always. You now have a beautiful angel watching over you.

You are an amazing family to save the lives of other sick children so that their families will not know the pain you are feeling now. There are not many people that would be that unselfish and have the strength and courage you have shown for others. May God bless you and comfort you.

There are no greater saints than the parents of critical ill children and that is so reflected in your compassion and courage to give other seriously ill children a chance through organ donation. My daughter, Jodi who also works at Pracs,has asked for prayer. I so hope God can give you a peace beyond all understanding and that you can take some comfort in the way your daughter has already touched so many lives.

As I am so sorry for your loss I am so grateful for the sacrifice that you have given to the other sick children. We have a small child in our hospital that received a new heart the other night. It is truly such an amazing gift she was only 15 mon. old and wasn't going to make it to much longer she now has a chance to see 15 the next few days will be critical. But it is family's like yours that make it possible. As I said I am truly sorry for your loss and Jess is a beautiful child and so unfair to have such a short time with her.

You are to be commended for your courageous decision to help others with the greatest gift that can be given, at the most difficult time in your life. You could not have chosen a better way to honor your precious daughter.
Please know that thoughts and prayers will always continue for you and for Jess, and that she will never be forgotten.

Amy,Jason, and Noah:
So sorry to hear about Jess. Here is a poem we received after the death of our son which was very comforting to us.
A CHILD LOANED
"I'll lend you for a little time
A child of Mine, "he said,
"For you to love the while she lives,
and mourn for when she's dead.
It may be six or seven years
Or twenty-two or three,
But will you, till I call her back,
Take care of her for me?"
She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
And shall her stay be brief,
You'll have her lovely memories
As solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
Since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught down there
I want this child to learn.
I've looked this wide world over
In my search for teachers true,
And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
I have selected you!
Now will you give her all your love,
Not think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call
And take her back again?
I fancied that I heard them say,
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
The risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter her with tenderness,
We'll love her while we may,
And for the happiness we've known
Forever grateful stay.
But should the angels call for her
Much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
And try to understand.

One of my worst nightmares w/ my daughters seizures has become all to real for you. I dont even know what to say. I read from another TS family that your family traveled 8hrs round trip just to make it to a TS walk, and now this.. I cried when I saw your donating Jess's organs so other children have a chance at life. I admire you for your strength and courage to make that choice, it is one that is so needed by so many children, but very few get a 2nd chance. I will pray for your family so you can continue to be strong, even on days where you find no strength, I will pray that Jess watches over everyone from above and is able to enjoy the playground and all the things that are now open to her, I will pray that the children that receive the blessed organs go on to have healthy happy productive lives and are able to enjoy the gift of life to the fullest. And I pray from one mother to another that you are able to one day heal from the loss of your darling Jess and be at peace that she will always be with you, and one day you will be with her again.

I have been thinking of you all during my every waking moment since I got home. Thank you for letting me be a part of saying good-bye to Jess. You are a wonderful family that did not deserve this, and yet you remain strong and your faith is amazing and an example to others. Jess is a beautiful angel watching over all of us now, at peace, and with God. We will be with her again one day and she will have exciting stories to tell us of all of the fun she has been having in heaven.
All my love to you, your family, and a new shiny beautiful angel watching over all of us!

A Rosebud
When God calls little children to dwell with Him above.
We mortals always question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache can compare with the death of one small child,
Who does so much to make the world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires...always calling the aged to His fold,
And so he picks a rosebud before it can grow.
God knows how much we need them, and so He picks but few;
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, yet somehow we must try,
For the saddest word that mankind knows will always be good-bye.
And so when little ones depart; we who are left behind,
Must realize how much God loves children...
For angels are hard to find.

What an amazing gift to know your precious girl will live on through the lives of others. What an incredible gift you will give to another innocent child!
I work in a neuro ICU and one thing we do for families who have lost a loved one is hand-prints. I don't know if Childrens offers this, but thought you may want to ask. I know it is treasured by the families we care for!
Our hearts are with you...

Thinking of you guys as you prepare for the surgery tonight. I am sure the waiting the past couple days has been extremely difficult as you long to hold Jess and hug her without all the tubes and lines. You have been in our prayers. Jess is such a beautiful girl and she is running, dancing and rejoicing in her "perfect" healed body in Heaven. There are many little angels there to take her hand and show her the ropes.
Your courageous and loving act of organ donation enables the lives of other kids' and their families to be changed. What a miracle you and Jess have given!
May God give you peace and wrap you in His loving arms as you return home and say goodbye to your precious girl.
Sending our love-

I found your page through Super C's and just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you all during this incredibly difficult time. Jess is so adorable and while I'm so sad she will no longer be here on earth I am thankful she will be free of those horrendous seizures. I must say that I am most encouraged by your family that you are donating her organs and using such a sad event to make the miracles for other children come true - Jess was one lucky girl to have such an amazing family and you are one lucky family so have such an amazing girl, even though her time with you was cut all too short. You will all be in my thoughts tonight especially - I am so glad you will have the opportunity to spend this quality time with her. Sending lots of love and hugs your way...

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

Where's the Navigator of your destiny?
Where is the Dealer of this hand?
Who can explain life and its brevity
'Cause there is nothing here that I can understand
You and I have barely met
And I just don't want to let go of you yet
Jess, hello, goodbye
I will see you on the other side
Jess, sweet child of mine
I will see you on the other side
And so I hold your tiny hand in mine
For the hardest thing I've ever had to face
Heaven calls for you before it calls for me
When you get there, save me a place
A place where I can share your smile
And I can hold you for more than just a while
Jess, hello, goodbye
I will see you on the other side
Jess, sweet child of mine
I will see you on the other side
God's Peace to you and your family

Amy, Jason, and Noah,
I am deeply sorry that Jess was no longer able to continue life with you, but I rejoice with you in the knowledge that she is free from pain, suffering and seizures and safe in her maker's arms. Her beautiful smile and kisses now shine eternally. Jenn
I'M FREE
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me.
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 place at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;
Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

It just breaks my heart to hear about all these little children going through so much and losing the battles they fight here on earth but I know it is God's plan so I will be praying for those left behind that are grieving and missing their little ones. The pictures of Jess are so cute...I will be praying that the organs she is donating will be the miracle that some other little children are needing to carry on....what a wonderful gift as well as a wonderful feeling knowing that a part of your daughter is alive and keeping others going. May God be with all of you at this time and the months ahead-I will continue to remember you in my prayers.

If I could whisper to the wind
And send my love your way,
I'd use the stars
To write these words
Across the Milky Way
Chorus
With Me Always, You're with me always
With me in my heart, In my heart
With me always, You're with me always
Somewhere beyond the stars
If I could tell all of the birds to sing
And send them to your side
I'd come for you on Angels wings
And we ride across the sky
Chorus
With Me Always, You're with me always
With me in my heart, In my heart
With me always, You're with me always
Somewhere beyond the stars
And then I'd tell the sun
To rise upon your day
And send my love through each ray of light
So your heart can hear me say, hear me say
Chorus
With Me Always, You're with me always
With me in my heart, In my heart
With me always, You're with me always
Somewhere beyond the stars
Somewhere, beyond the stars
Somewhere, here in my heart
I'm praying for your whole family! Fly with the angels Jess, you've finally beat the yucky seizure monster!

I was never blessed enough with the oppertunity of seeing jess marie in person, however it is amazing how much a little girl as strong as her can touch a person by just word of mouth. When i first heard of her i was truly amazed that she could go through all she did and still keep that beautiful smile she has. God's blessings come in such small and special packages that can be disguised in many ways, and i believe that even with her short life span, jess marie will live on in the hearts of all those that knew her and her story forever. It hurts to say goodbye, but I can tell that she will have more of an impact on people than thought. I am truly touched by her life and i do wish i was able to meet her in person and experience her true presence. My heart and soul are with her and her family, and I know she is up looking down on everybody with that painfree gorgeous smile on her face. I would like to thank her for her impact on me and God bless all her friends and family.

Amy, Jason and Noah,
I am sure that nothing seems comforting or right for all of you right now. Try to find peace in knowing how much you love little Jess and how well she knows that you love her. As others have said, she is in a better place, seizure free and dancing with all of the loved ones that have gone before her. And, if you can, find strength in the families that are rejoicing now as Jess has given them new hope for their sick children. Jess will live on, here and in Heaven, and will always bring a smile to us as we think of her. God Bless each and every one of you. Our thoughts, sympathy and prayers are with you.

Amy, Jason, Noah and your extended family
The right words seem hard to find as we learn of your loss. Know that we continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Jess was such a trooper, as were all of you, during her short journey on earth. While we don't understand why Jess was taken from her earthly home, we are thankful that she is seizure free and will be running freely in Heaven. Jason and Amy, what a wonderful gift you and Jess have given to others with the donation of Jess' organs to those in need. God bless you and keep you and give you strength for all time.

there is nothing anyone can ever do or say to fully make you feel better in these times, but i will say that jess was a true blessing to everyone who met her, an angel in human form. now she is out of her human form and can be free in heaven without pain. I cannot wait to meet her again up there. God needed her by his side, we may not like the way he chooses to take the ones we love but he does it for a reason. god needed her and heaven needed her. we'll see her again soon. ALL my love in this time of mourning.

Why God Takes Children
Author Unknown
When God calls little children
To dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometimes question
The wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with,
The death of one small child,
Who does so much to make our world,
Seem so wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling
The aged to His fold,
So He picks a rosebud
Before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
And so He takes but few,
To make the land of heaven
More beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult
Still somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind
knows will always be Good-by.
So when a little child departs,
We who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.
LeAnn

"When I Get Where I'm Going"
Geoff Moore and Christy Nockels
When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly
I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain
[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here
So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do
But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going

You are all brave people in such a horribly difficult time. The little beautiful girl who is Amy's "mini-me" is going to be missed something fierce. I was never able to meet her, but it was like I had with all of the stories Amy shared at work. I have been reading over some of the things people have said in the guestbook and one thing keeps popping into my head - this wonderful girl made more of an impact on this world than many do in a lifetime. Many people love her and your family. It is a marvelous thing - love...Through your grief, I hope that the love that surrounds you helps. If you need anything, we'll all be around.

I came to your page through Caroline's Caringbridge site.
It breaks my heart to know what you are going through, losing Jess. She's a beauty.
My grandson, Tylar, just received the gift of life from an organ donor on May 28, 2007. We were unable to thank the family for their sacrifice, but I can thank YOU.
God Bless you all,
Caryann aka Tylar's Grandma

My heart is breaking for you and your family--but what an amazing thing you, AND JESS, are doing, by donating her organs. My uncle's live was saved by an organ donor and we are eternally grateful to the family who donated.
I'm sending much love and many prayers your way. What a beautiful daughter you have--Jess is truly special. I hope you feel comfort and strength in this terrible time.
In peace,

I just found my way to your BEAUTIFUL daughters page and wanted to say THANK YOU. As parents you are getting to go down the toughest road of your lives, but at the same time you are about to give parents somewhere the best gift ever. A second chance!!I am the mother to an almost 13 yr old son that because of parents like you 9.5 years ago Cody was given the gift of life with a heart transplant. So again thank you for thinking of others at a time when alot of people only think of themselves!

Amy, Jason and Noah.....It is so hard to comprehend what you are going through. I know little Jess is at peace and I can't help but thinking constantly about how her Great Grandma Donna, Great Grandma Gladys and Great Grandpa Rex are standing at the Gate with open arms waiting for her. I am reading the book "90 Minutes in Heaven" right now and it has had a profound impact on me. Especially now with little Jess waiting to go to Heaven. Wow! It is so rough on the people that love her so much, but she will have no more pain. God Bless you all and know that we are still wrapping our arms around you with prayer and love. Love you much....Connie, Gary, Kendra, Riss and Nate

Dear Amy and Jason,
I am here at my computer in tears trying to understand why God has chosen this path for Jess and for your family. I will never understand and I am so sad. You are such amazing people and are so giving. I was so impressed that you drove all the way just to support us at the TS walk. Even now in your grief you are reaching out and thinking of other familiies and hoping to give life to their children while you are losing yours. In some way it must make this a bit easier to bare, just knowing Jess will be able to help kids. I hope we never have to face what you are facing but it just hits so close to home. I am glad you have support from your group of moms. I hope Jason gets the support he needs too. He is one amazing father, and I know how much he loves his beautiful daughter. I know nothing I can say will help take away the pain you are feeling. Please know that I am praying for peace for you all.

My heart aches for you and your family. I have just become familiar with Jess's story recently but I truly hoped that your prayers would be answered and she would recover from this latest hurdle. I am so sad that this will not be the case. Jess seemed like a wonderful person and such a fighter. I am amazed by your strength as parents and awed by your decision for Jess to be an organ donor and giver of life. My best friend's daughter is awaiting a heart transplant in Minnesota, so I am familiar with what your decision means to another family. Your decision is so selfless and amazing. Your daughter is a beautiful little girl and I am confident that her gift will give another family hope and life for their child. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. The world lost a beautiful child which is so heartbreaking. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My heart aches for you. I have been checking up on Jess for some time now through Caroline's site. My daughter has TS. God bless you for the gift of life you are so selflessly giving to other families who are praying for a miracle. Jess was and is a miracle. May God comfort you with His peace that truly does surpass all our human understanding. You will be in my thoughts and prayers constantly.

Your friend Joann Berg is my work partner. She has shared with me the story of your precious little girl. My heart is so sad today to hear the news about Jessica. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. From one loving mother to another it is extremely hard for me to imagine the grief you must feel. What a wonderful thing that you are doing by having your precious little girl be a gift from God as an organ donor. May God give you the strength and courage to get through the next several days, weeks and months.
Much love to all!!

I will pray that she is able to help as many as she possibly can, and that you will find comfort in her precious gift.

It is in His hands now (as it really is and has been all along)and I know that he will give you a real sense of Peace, just as he has given Jess a Blessed peace. You were chosed to be Jess' family, and she could not have asked for a better one! Please know that you are not alone, and that you are much loved.

I just woke up and immediately went to my computer. Just as I signed in and was looking for an update, it popped up. With a sinking heart I began to ache for you all. I thought of Jess and, of course, of all the little loved ones in our extended family and our own, and tried to make sense logically- why does this have to be???? Why did that most beautiful angel have to leave? What can we learn from her short life? What can we learn from you guys, Noah, Grandpa and Grandma, Great Grandpa, uncle and aunt and families? What can we do that might ease the extreme pain you all feel as you realize that Jess will not be physically with you? The storm is now over for Jess, for that I am so thankful. And knowing that someone will have a better life because of her, helps ease the pain a bit. But now we need to find our own answers in the rest of it and pray that peace will come for all. We are so glad that we got to have little Jess and Li together that precious one time. Two little angels from almost a world apart- I will never forget how Jess looked, with those beautiful brown eyes and blond angelic like hair, at Li- then touched Li's head- it was a beautiful sight to watch. Jess touched everyone in many ways. She will always be a blessed memory and we will keep her alive in our hearts. And we will remember how hard she tried to be strong because of the love you have all given her. I pray her strength will now be extended to you all and finally peace, knowing she is with the other angels by her side. She is not alone, And her love is all around.

Jess has definitely done that for all of us. People will forever see her smile, her beautiful face, the joy she had, the courage she showed, and will forever be inspired by it. Further, you two and Noah are equally inspirational. Know that you have never, and will never be alone. So many people care so much for you all, and always will. Your continued faith will get you through this, and God will bless you all with his comfort. All of our family prays for you and loves you all so much. May the Lord make his face shine on you all.

Always know that Jess has touched our lives with her strength and you, Amy Jason and Noah have touched our lives with your faith. Bless you and know that we love you and are here for you always.

Jess is a such beautiful little girl, and even though I have not met her I am sure she is strong and brave like her mother. Take care! all my love, your cousin Jacqui

Amy,
This is my first time visiting Jess's site and I'm so sorry that I am just now learning her story. She is beautiful and I am so heartbroken for you with this tragic news. I am so sad to see another child suffering in such a horrible way. I pray that God still heals Jess so that she can live a normal life. She is so precious and so deserving of a miracle healing. We are sending lots of hugs and love your way.

I've only met Jess and your family once. I don't know what to say. I am so sad, and can't stop thinking about this little cutie that I met on the walk in St. Paul for TSC. She had such bright eyes that day and an adorable smile. She has such loving and fun parents! And an awesome big brother. I am praying for you all during this most difficult and uncertain of times for you. Praying for peace for Jess, may she feel the love that is surrounding her. I believe Shannon when she says that McKenna & Drew are with her. I see them holding her hand and reaching out to you as well. God bless you, and keep you through this unbelievable storm.
Love & Prayers,

We are helpless because we can do nothing to make them better. That is why we have our faith, without it we would crumble.

Amy, Jason and Family!
This is obviously not the news I expected, wanted or have been praying so hard for. There is no good or right thing to say at this time....all I can think of is..It is difficult not to get caught up on the "whys?" right now. And I am sure you are thinking a million of them. (If you have had a chance to think at all.)
But, as our priest kindly told us, faced with the situation you are in now, "Work past the 'whys', don't get caught up on them. There are no answers for us to know here and now. All of our "why's" are the questions we ask God while we have him by the shirt collar upon meeting him face to face."
Try your best to support one another, love one another and remember you are ALL going through this...not as individuals but, as friends and family. Be kind to one another and above all be kind to yourselves! Extra hugs and prayer for you in the coming days, weeks and months.
Take care,

Add Ariana to the list of angels who are caring for Jess and all of your family. I've asked her to take special care of you and she heard me and is listening just as she did when she was here with me. Okay, maybe she never had a choice, but she still listened. Just as you were there taking care of Ariana at Innovis when I couldn't be, Ariana is watching, waiting, smiling over you now. She remembers those who cared for her. I know she does. You are in good hands; hands of my angel.

Please know that I'm praying for her...can't stop thinking about her and what you all must be going through. Sending love, hugs and prayers to Jess and family.

I am a friend of Shannon Olson and have been watching Jess's site for quite some time. I just had to let you know I have a 6 year old son with Aspergers and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. There is no one way to deal with Aspergers, but it usually helps to bounce ideas off of others who have been there.

Finally, we have access to your website again. So sorry to hear the frustration and wonder in your last entry. It is so hard to go on with hope for improvement when you are not even sure where to turn next. And the daily challenges for you, Jess and others, brings on even more stress. But there WILL be answers, believe that- tomorrow is not certain but God is always there to help us through it. He does not want suffering for his children either and is on our side, even when we want to say "Why has this happened, God?" Keep the faith and take help and know your family and friends will be there to hold you up.
Keeping you in our prayers.

Hi Amy,
You may not remember me, Mary Snader, When you were young
you lived near us in Canaan. I had twin boys you used to
call Mathapher because their names were Christopher and
Matthew. I have three older sons also but I don't think you
would remember them.
Linda Manges told me about JessMarie and the church (Canaan
Lutheran) has had her on our prayer list for some time.
I pray you will find a drug that helps and the doctors can
give you hope for the future. Tell your mom & dad I said
Hi and I think of you all often.
God Bless
Mary

Hang in there. I don't know what else to say....we are thinking of you and praying.

This verse from the Bible has always brought me peace when I'm struggling for answers.
Romans 5.3: More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit which has been given to us.
Here's hoping for a good night's sleep and sweet dreams!

Sorry to hear about the increase in eye fluttering and that the Klonopin continues to cause grief. Jess is such a cutie and I hope that the rest of the week is better for her! Glad I got a chance to meet you over our girl's weekend. Looking forward to the summer getaway, already!

Hi Amy!
So glad you were able to get away with the girls. I can only imagine the laughter and the tears... how neat that you have that connection for sharing with people who really know. That's what I've always been missing. I had my husband and other than that no one "got it." I'm so happy you can all offer up support to each other. Without it, this disease can very quite lonely.
Welcome home and we'll keep praying for quiet weeks.
Love,
Dawn

I am not sure if I have ever signed before but have followed your site for a while now. I found it from Drew/Mckenna's and Caroline's. Anyway, I am so sorry about the rsv. It's a nasty one. My middle child has rsv at 10 weeks old and then rotavirus at 15 months old which she was hospitalized for. She is 5 today and has asthma most likely from the rsv. Anyway, I wanted to write because you commented about her shaking after the neb treatments. My daughter did the same thing and has gotten old enough to tell me she doesn't like them because they make her feel funny and shaky. Her doctor switched her to Xopenex instead of Albuterol because it was even causing her heart rate to race way above normal. I know the hospitals usually use Albuterol because it's cheap and Xopenex is not. If you continue to need airway support with the nebs ask for Xopenex. It works wonders. Anyways, I will keep your little one in my prayers. God bless.

I ask for an extra measure of strength for Amy and Jason tonight and pray Jess will be seizure free and able to sleep. Lord, you are able to do all things...we continue to ask for that miracle for Jess and thank you in advance for that miracle. Thank you for who you are Father and your love that you have for this special family. In your precious and Holy Name ...Amen

Now that is great that Jess made it through the bug without a set back! I hope she is beginning to be able to fight the stuff that all kids get. Also hoping that Noah is doing alright with his new med. Yes, those teeth seem to do a number don't they? Course most docs won't admit that it affects a child that much, but I have seen it with my kids and my grandkids now that it makes for some miserable times.It is always something for the poor little ones. Let's hope Jess starts feeling good enough to enjoy herself. Thanks for taking the time to update. Love to you all.

Hi everyone! We continue to pray for the truth to come out about Jess' seizures. She is such a precious child to have gone through so much in her tiny life. We know that the Lord continues to guide you Amy and Jason as to what the next steps should be. I also know that those steps will lead to some answers. We also pray for Noah's condition to become better. He too is a little trooper. Can you tell I love your kids to pieces? My prayer for you Jason and Amy is to be comforted in knowing that the Lord will see you through all of this. He is our Father and knows what his children truly need. I have to sign off now, but know that you are all in our hearts and prayers.

Hi Beechers,
Read your update and am disheartned to see that Jess is still struggling. It is so frustrating for me that doctors really don't know that much about the brain as compared to other organs. Your poor Jess has been through so much. It is a strain for your entire family. Your support and friendship for Maria and Neil is so helpful. I pray that there will be a day that no child will ever have to suffer with seizures. It was so nice for us to have so many months of seizure free days with Kylie. It is so hard to go back again. I know I shouldn't complain because Jess has has never had that luxury. I hope things get better soon for all.

Amy,
I'm another Caring Bridge mom and am acquainted to some of the other moms you know and met a few at 7940 too. I've been to Jess' site so many times but wanted to say hi and let you know I'm thinking of you all. And my son, Ryan, has autism, seizures and mild CP and is also on Risperdol. We started it in December and boy do we see a difference! He has lots of head banging and other self injury behaviors and this is really helping. Not a cure by any means but definitely helping. I hope that gives you hope that the med will work for your son as well. We (and the doctors) were very leary of putting a young 3 yr old on it, but it's been great so far.
Will continue to check in...

I've never signed your guestbook before but was routed there from another CB site. My 9-year old grandson has Asperger's syndrome. He was diagnosed when he was in Kindergarten. His early childhood was very rough on him and his parents - frequent nasty meltdowns, etc. He's doing so much better now. He's in control (most of the time) and is extremely smart - he's in the gifted program at school. My daughter takes him to therapy for motor skills. Last fall he did some special music therapy. They bought some special headphones and special CD's - I don't know what they were called but they worked wonders. Here's prayers for your beautiful daughter and your son.

Been checking the site, good to hear from you after the appt. Do you think Jess is just more tired from more overall activity going out to school? Guess she hasn't been on that routine much yet however. I hope her general health stays reasonably normal, we all know that meds have side effects. I am glad to hear that you are on top of things with Noah. Hopefully, the med will do the trick for that sweetie too. We will continue to pray for you all and hope for the best. Hang in there-

Your daughter is so precious. I will pray for the seizures to go away. My daughter Aleia also has Intractable GTC seizures. Yesterday she saw Dr. Ritter @ the MN Epilepsy Group in St. Paul Minnesota. She has been going to him for 8 years. He said if we aren't able to get the GTC seizures under control soon, she will start to lose all functions. I just lost it, tears rolling down like a waterfall. You work so hard for so many years and try several different medicaions only to hear your progress may be lost again. She has never had control of her seizures in 8 years. I knew eventually all the medications would be exhausted, she's not a candidate for brain surgery, the VNS only helps a little and new medications are being tested but not on the market yet. It is very frustrating.
I will keep your family and you beautiful little girl in my prayers. I'm glad to hear she is enjoying school.

Hi. I've been here a few times but don't think I have ever signed or I don't remember signing anyway so either way it's a new guest book entry for me! Do you know who her teacher will be in pre-school? My little boy, Lucas will be attending pre-school also starting in March. I was just curious to know if they will be in the same class together. My daughter went there a few years back and her teacher was Roz. Anyway, thanks for the update! It's hard sometimes to know what to write about. Sometimes I feel like I just keep repeating the same old stories but even so, people keep reading so it's a win/win situation.

Amy and Jason,
It was so good of you to let us be a part of your day. I know it has to be hard to have visitors when Jess is needing your care. We hope that Wed. we will see you again and it will be an easier day for Jess. She is such a beautiful little girl, my heart aches for you when I am reminded of the incredible love you have for her and how rough the road can be, the pain, the hope, the fear. And how frustrating, confusing and painful it is for Jess. We pray that the Lord has sent news through your doctor that there is new hope just around the corner.
There are no words to express the strength I saw today. You all just keep rolling with the punches, even though it takes all you got. What a good lesson for the day for us. You have touched us, Jess, Amy, Jason, Rog and Kathy and Justin. Hope tomorrow goes good for you,
Big prayers tonight for healing and rest for you all, including Noah.

As I pulled up your site to check on Jess , Elijah came over and asked "what's her team ?" Because he is 100% pure boy , he's referring to football . I think in a round about kind of way Elijah is saying...Jess we are praying for you to feel better soon and to kiss these seizures goodbye . Hoping and praying these med changes do the trick .

Jess, Amy and Family....So sorry to hear of your recent set-back. We are sure that the many angels looking over you will help you through this. We had just a wonderful time with Grandma & Grandpa when they were here in Ohio. I know they were worried about you and wondering how you were every day. They talked so much about you and how strong you have been. You continue to be on Canaan Lutheran's prayer list. We just hope the Dr.'s will soon learn how to stop all the nasty seizures.

Hello Beechers,
I am soo sorry that Jess and you guys are stilling dealing with those nasty seizures. You would think after two brain surgeries it wouldn't be so bad. It must be so disappointing for all of you. You are such a nice family and have always been so supportive of Kylie and my daughter and son in law. I pray that right medication combo will help her soon. We are so lucky that Kylie is doing so well right now. I hope Jess Marie will get some relief soon.

I sure wish Jess was having better days. By your news I am assuming things just aren't shaping up yet for her. Yes, don't we all wish we could take on our childrens burdens so they could be spared- it is a parent's love and devotion. But she needs you to be strong and help her along, and never to lose faith that good will come of this.Easy to say, hard to live that way.
We are hoping things will be going good enough so you guys can come down to the cities the weekend of the 21st of Oct. Wouldn't it be fun to just come for a pleasure trip for a change? We understand if it may be too stimulating for you all right now, but would love to share some time together at Jill's and the hotel, if that works for you guys.Prayers for you all.
Love,

Not again- there is nothing we can say that can let you know how we are so hoping that they can get Jess' seizures in control, at least. Our prayers are for you all. Living it every day has to cause so much anxiety, even though I know you are all such troopers. Once again we are all reminded- going it one day at a time or even one minute sometimes. We loved the pictures of the kids. Noah looks so grown up on his way to school. Hoping he enjoys it all and has a good teacher, he has alot to deal with too.
You are always on our mind and would love to visit with you all. Maybe this fall? Please keep us posted on any news from the doc.
Love you,

I have a feeling we are headed in the same direction. But, some day our girls will walk and we will have the biggest walking party for them that anyone has ever seen! Kylie sends kisses to Jess and tells me she misses playing w/ Jason. I told her there will be NO reunions anytime soon, since our meeting place is always 7940. Praying for better days ahead.

Hi to you all,
I have not been able to check your website for awhile but when I did it was so great to see that little cutie pie's new snap. Happy to hear too that Jason could retreat to something he loves to do. So very sorry about the family you wrote of. The sorrow they must feel.
Hoping that Jess does well in therapy. Yes, they can be a bit stubborn at that age, can't they?
I am in Portland with baby Oscar and Jac, caring for him the days she is working and Aaron is gone to summer camp with his school kids. Loving it but missing the Mpls. bunch too. Also wishing there was more time to spend with others who are dear to us. Until then,
Prayers and love,

Hi guys. I forgot you were coming up today. I just got home from work and was even on 7900 w/ a patient for a bit. Bummer- I would've loved to say hi. Maybe we will stop by after therapy tomorrow (tues), if the girls cooperate. It would be around 12pm. I'll try calling first. Hoping for a quick stay! Maria

Oh that sweet picture of the kids! They both look so happy! I hope that is the case for you all. I am assuming no news is good news. Maybe one of these times when you have to come to the cities there will be time for more than dr. appointments and Li and Jess can play awhile. Jess is a beautiful child!!! And Noah is so cute! Guess we tend to forget those simple comments when there are so many other concerns for you all. You are still in our thoughts and prayers even though we don't tell you so as often these days.

We saw your Uncle Justin sing last night (they still haven't gotten his name right...they still call him Judd...those silly people...you will have to tell them that he is your Uncle Justin not Uncle Judd). Boy, he really does sing good...we are still hoping he makes lots of money on this deal so he can buy you and me some good stuff right? How is your brother? and mommy and daddy? Well, honey...we hope you are doing well...and never forget you got Jesus on your side...and your Uncle Tom and Aunt Pat....We love you tons....bye bye...Uncle Tom and Aunt Pat

Oh Jess...we were just going to sign on to thank you for the great party on Sat...and then I read your mommy's update about you in the hospital....you were smooching with alot of people that love you...do you think someone shared a little "bug" with you which I am sure wasn't meant to be shared? We hope that you get hydrated very soon and that you will be able to come home. You are such a sweety pie. It was fun to see you and Olivia together. We wish you lived closer to each other so you could play...We listened to your Uncle Justin (those silly people think his name is Judd but we know better) this morning on the radio....wow...do you think he is going to be a star someday? We hope so....cause maybe he will buy us all some goodies. What do you think? We better be extra nice to Justin huh???? Well, honey...we love you and pray for you all the time...we pray for healing for your little body and that Jesus holds you close. Talk to you later...love you biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggg...Uncle Tom and Aunt Pat

Hi Beechers,
I am so sorry to hear that Jess is still having seizures. How disappointing after having two surgeries, to not have a cure. She is such a sweet, beautiful child, it just doesn't seem fair. You are such nice people, I don't understand why these things happen to such beautiful children. I hope Kylie doesn't end up back in if you guys come down for an EEG.

Hi guys - I just ready your entry for today and looked at my watch and saw it was 12:45, so am saying a prayer right now for Jess. Hoping everything is going good. Grandpa Harvey was just in my office and we were talking about you guys and what you are going through yet again! He is very concerned, so hopefully he will get a call from Kathy after surgery. Hang in there. We love you much! Connie

Hi Beecher family,
So happy to hear things are a go for little Jess!!! You will be in our prayers this week... I'm home recovering - spending lots of time in prayer for all these precious kids. Can't wait to hear Jess' surgery is a success... I am doing a Tastefully Simple fundraiser right now to help raise $$ to bring little McKenna home. I hope they get there while you're there. Give Shannon and Maria a hug from me if you see them. Hugs to you too!!!

Hi Jason, Amy, Noah and Jess, I was sorry to hear about your postponement on the surgery. They say everything happens for a reason, so I guess we have to roll with the punches. I'll bet you guys are feeling pretty bruised about now, but I'm sure things will improve soon. I'm sorry about Jess' cold, I'll just pray it doesn't last long so you can get one more difficult journey behind you with a wonderful recovery on it's heels. Sorry we didn't get to see you at Olivia's baptism, but I had a bad case of strep throat and didn't want to share it even if I had felt good enough to be there. As always you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Take care, love you lots and please give each other hugs and kisses from me. I will be looking forward the good news about a successfull surgery soon to come. Bye for now. Love, Kathy and Steve

I know we just saw you (Amy and Noah) on Saturday, but I wanted to say hello to Jason and Jess. We continue to lift you all up in prayer and know that the Lord has already been preparing the surgeons for operation. It is only because of FAITH, GRACE and PRAYER that the Lord continues to lay healing hands on Jess and I know that you are all full of those three things. What a blessing and inspiration of faith you are to all of us that know and love you. We love you very much, but that in comparison to the Lord's love for you is just a drop in the ocean. So feel and be surrounded by HIS love always.

Dear Beechers,
I hope Jess continues to recover and have a seizure free life. You were so nice to Kylie and all of us at the hospital. People who have healthy kids don't really understand what you are going through. It is nice to share feelings with someone who understands. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and give Jess a hug for us.

Jason,Amy&Jess Hi, I just checked and caught yesterdays entry, I've been busy with caring for our granddaughter Kaylee the last few days. I'm afraid we won't be able to visit, as she came down with a fever and a very stuffy nose and cough, so I think we better stay away. I'm really dissapointed we can't make it but I'm so happy to hear things are going so well. You guys take care and take our love and best wishes home with you. We love you and miss you. Talk to you later. Love, Steve&Kathy

Hi Amy,
My name is Cindy Blackard and I was in your shoes 6 months ago. My son Ian is 4 years old and he has TS. He had 2 surgeries performed by Dr. Dunn on May 5th and May 12th 2005. Jess is in wonderful hands with Dr. Dunn!! Dr. Dunn removed 4 tubers from Ian who was suffering from epilepsy as well. I just wanted to let you know that you are doing the right thing for Jess. It's a struggle since it is an "optional" surgery, but we felt like we had tried everything else. It's great that Jess is so young...she'll recover so quickly. Ian was home after only 4 days after his 2nd surgery. Good luck tomorrow. I'll be praying for your little girl.

Amy & Family,
Received an email from your Mom informing us of Jess' surgery. Please know that Jess and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Also, Canaan Lutheran (Creston, Ohio) gave a special prayer this morning for Jess and will continue keeping her in prayer. It seems only yesterday that the Haugens were here in Ohio. Canaan Lutheran celebrated their 175th Anniversary last month and while going thru old church pictures of sunday school events and vacation bible school programs we found many pictures of you, Lisa, and your Mom and Dad. It's been way too many years since we've seen you. Give that beautiful daughter a hug and kiss from everyone here in Ohio. We hope and pray that Jess' surgery will be a success and she will be on the road to recovery in no time!
All Our Love,
Linda & Larry

Good Morning,
Just read your up-date as I was go;ing to say speial prayers tomorrow. Now my special prayers will be today that God takes care of all of you. I will pray specifically for the recovery of Noah's illnesses and to keep JessieMarie strong. When I am so frustrated and at "witt's end" I turn to our marker board where I have Deut. 31:8 written out. The father of our church annointed Jeffery one day and when he left I was so sad and in tears, and he turned to me and said, "Do not be discouraged." That night my bible reading was Deut. 31:8. I have lived with that one particularly by my side. Hope all goes well. We will continue to be thinking of your family.

So disappointed for you all that surgery had to be delayed and that the kids are sick. I am hoping that they are improving each day. So many colds etc. it had to be hard to try keep Jess away from it all. Let's just hope now that she will be back home after surgery for Christmas and you can really celebrate and rejoice. Hang in there, God loves you and so do we all.

Dear Amy & family - I have been following Jess' journal and my heart goes out to her and your entire family. As a young couple and young family you have had to endure more that most families encounter in a lifetime. When Jess is well and grows into a lovely young woman she will be blessed with little memory of what she has gone through in her first years. I hope Jess' current cough does not delay the surgery - waiting is sometimes the most difficult part. Our prayers are with Jess, you, your entire family and the team of medical experts that will be entrusted with Jess's care.

Jason, Amy, Noah, and Jess,
I just feel terrible that I have not written sooner. Shannon Olson has been keeping me somewhat up-dated and finally I got on your web pg. I am very saddened that the diet did not work for Jess. The meds always seem so fearful don't they? I can't imagine what you are all feeling as you approach Nov. 10th. I have penciled in a special spot on my calendar for that date, as well as everyday. We question so much why God puts our little ones through this don't we? God is surely collecting our bucket of tears, and will not fail us. In my times of deepest need I turn to Deut. 31:8. "do not be discouraged." Please believe that God is with you Amy and your family and try and walk with peace. I once heard someone say, "Not until I looked up to God, and said 'O.K. I can do no more on my own, I am with you Lord, help me to do your will each day." That person found some comfort, some peace, some stillness, and still a lot of inner pain, but surprisingly strenght. That person is me Amy. Nothing we bear with this disease is easy, and I have found out I cannot bear it alone. Please know you and your family are in our prayers. Your picture is hanging up on our fridge. I will continue to keep track of baby jessmarie.
Love,
Cindy Petersen (Jeffery's mom)

Travis e-mailed me your caringbridge address so I could read all about your journey with Jess. We hadn't heard much about Jess's condition and sorry to hear she will have to undergo surgery. We will keep you all in our prayers and will be thinking of you. We enjoyed seeing pictures of her she looks like a little angel. Also, Noah is a real cutie - can't believe he is in school already.
Take care.

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that you are constantly on our minds and in our prayers. We know that the Lord will protect from all illness that may hold Jess back from surgery. The Lord is always there to help little angels' (like Jess) through any and all situations. In Isaiah 41:10 He says "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness." What an awesome promise to those who believe! He will never abandon those who trust with all that they are in the one who gives life and guides life. Yes, we have an awesome FATHER! We love you all very much and are very thankful that the Lord is always with you. Thank you also for keeping us informed on all the things that are happening. We will continue to pray for you and KNOW that the Lord's healing authority will take you to where He wants you to be.

Jason, Amy, Noah and Jess -- it was so good to see Jason, Noah and Jess at Brad and Sara's a couple weeks ago. Also fun to hear Noahs comments about school and the new puppy. We are glad to learn of a surgery date and continue to keep all of you in our prayers. Grandma Kathy and I have talked about tending the children so the parents can have a night out soon. We'll wait until after surgery so as not to expose Jess to any "bugs".

That can be hard at her age with all the bugs going around...but you are so smart to stay away from functions. I will also pray that the rest of your family stays healthy.....you know we love you and that with all the prayers going up for Jess that God will be watching over her and you all. Please know also that we may not see or talk to you much, but we care so deeply for you all. Thank you for keeping us posted on the website. It really means alot to us all. Love you and God bless!

I read your post on Drew's page - how right you are, none of us would have signed up for this "club" but we all sure need each other. We're here for you. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you before you leave or while you're away - do you need groceries or anything. I could run errands for you, so you can keep Jess inside and just have the extra time with her and Noah. Please call if I can help - 329-7291.

Jason & Amy: We have put little Jess on a prayer list in our homeschool community. Jess is always in our prayers and thoughts along with prayers for Jason, Amy and Noah's patience and protection during these processes and sometimes lonely times without Jess at home. God's hands will continue to guide the doctors and now the surgeons and I know that the healing will begin quickly. We have been waiting for some answers right along with you and now with the will of God and the love of Jesus our little Jess will be healed and happy NOT to have to go through so much! This surgery will be a big step for you all and we pray for your strength to grow. We love you all very much and you are all in our prayers. God bless you BIG TIME!

Jason and Amy,
We want you to know that we are praying daily for you and your little angel. Our prayer is that you would sense Jesus wrapping his arms around you and carrying you through the days and weeks ahead. It's so hard to see our babies go through tough times, but knowing that our Heavenly Father loves them even more than we do and that he is in control of the whole situation gives us a sense of security, right?

Hi Amy, Jason, Noah, and Jess...
It was wonderful to see all of you this weekend. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers every day. If there is anything you or your family needs when you are in the cities for the surgery please let me know. I would be more than happy to be supportive in anyway that I can.

hi amy, Jason, Noah & Jess: it is so easy to be discouraged, we know...but please if there can ever be two bigger things right now ...it is "faith & trust" faith & trust in the big picture that Jesus never fails..he will provide jess with continued strength and will provide you guys peace & calm. Remember the calming of the storm scene.. you guys are going through a storm right now-- calmness will occur... the other part is... please have faith & trust with the medical people... God has given them gifts to use - our prayer is that all this happens with God's will...love you- jo

Prayers from the East Coast... I wish I could take away your worries and give you peace of mind but only God can do that. So I want you to know I pray everyday that Jess will show improvement and to give You the strength to hang in there. With all the new knowledge the doctors have nowdays I know they will find the answers.
I loved your pictures. It looked like you were having a ball. All 4 of you deserved a vacation and I am glad you enjoyed it. Remember your next vacation could always be at the Jersey Shore.. Love from all of us here...Aunt Diane

You have been in our thoughts and prayers for so long now but we haven't been able to get to this site! After weeks of trying I finaly realized I was using mn in the address instead of nd! Slow learner I am! It saddens us to know your little angel is having to go through so much at this young age. Know that we will continue to pray for her and your family during this difficult time. We will check back often to hear of her progress (now that I can get to the site!!) God bless you all!

Sorry to hear Jess is having more problems. We are all praying that soon there will be some good news for you guys. It has to be so frustrating and scary too, trying to be patient. We also pray that Jess is not hurting. And hope she can soon be just a testy 2 year old! Our love and thoughts to you all.

Hey Beechers,
Hang in there and don't give up. We'll all keep praying for answers and treatment or better yet a miracle for Jess. Sometimes the seizures just "go away" at least for a while. That happened for us with Jonathan when he was about 4. After that the meds worked perfectly for the next 13 years. No one ever knew why - it never made sense even to our docs, but we believe it was a gift from God. We'll all keep praying extra hard for Jess - that God's will be done. Let me know if you need to talk...

Jason, Amy, Noah & Jess, We are all continuing to lift you up in prayer. We are praying for the Lord's will be done and that everything will go according to that. Don't ever become discouraged or afraid for Jess because God's hands will always guide her. Sometimes that is easier said than done, but let the will of God be your corner stone in all the decisions being made right now. We are waiting to hear from you after this trip. Remember that we love you all very much! Hugs and kisses!!!!

Hi Beechers! Have a safe trip to St Paul tomorrow. I am praying for treatment options for Jess. We are finding that Kylie may not be a surgical option either and it is so frustrating! Surgery is not something I want to have my child go through but if it's not even an option to help her, then what? You guys are always in our prayers- Maria Gibbons

I have missed you and missed you and never done anything about it. Today I found out about Jess and I am so very sad and sorry, I haven't been in contact with you. My prayers are with you all. Please tell Noah that I have a picture of him on my office desk and that its been there since he was 9 months old. Please consider me another sitter when you need help. Please, please. If you ever go back to Detroit we should see if my niece is close to you. She is a doctor too.

Jason, Amy, Noah & Jess....We praise the Lord for your safe trip home. It is a waiting game isn't it? We pray for your patience to endure and know that the Lord will be answering prayers and doing his will for you. I am so glad that Noah likes Kindergarten. He is growing up so fast. I am sure this is a good distraction from the worries over his little sister, because all BIG brothers want to take care of them.
We will continue to pray for the clusters to lessen and finally subside for Jess. She is such a strong little angel. We should all take lessons from her in that area. Isn't it awesome how the Lord gives little children the ability to look past the "trouble" times and look forward to the "golden" times.
Our prayers are with you all and know that WE LOVE YOU!!!!

It is so nice to hear good news!! I can't belive that Noah is old enough to be in school. It seems like he was just the little guy at the Y with the videos :-) They grow up fast!! Cody is almost 10. Gotta cherish them while we can. We will keep praying for Jess to continue to get better.

Hi Beechers,
So glad to hear you've got a plan for Detroit. We always find that the uncertainty is almost the hardest part of this whole thing. We'll be praying the nasty "BIG" seizures stay away and that you'll get some answers soon. Even though Tuberous Sclerosis isn't the best diagnosis, it's always been better to know what we are facing. Jonathan has been doing great! The new meds seem to have kicked in and he is so much less drugged. We never realized how bad it had gotten over the years until we saw the change now. It's nice.
You're in our thoughts and prayers each day. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out.

I just want you to know that we will be praying for Noah's situation also. Poor guy! I am sure that it does feel like he is getting no attention......however, we know that you are just as concerned for him as you are for Jess. We hope he loves kindergarten! I am sure he will. I had a great time with your mom and the rest of the sisters this week. I am sure you will hear all about it!!!!! We are crazy!!!!
Love you guys! Connie

Hello Beecher family,
The new pics are fun!!! So glad your trip went well. We just got discharged from 7940 today. I was not quite ready and it was a long ride home with seizures (it took us 7 1/2 hours). We stopped along the way and called the doc to see if we should go back. Instead they increased 1 med. Hopefully this will take care of it.
I hope you get your okay for Detroit soon.

Hello,
It sounds like, according to your journal, that things are moving on, even though there are many fears, you may get some answers you need to know. So glad you will get to go to Colorado and pray you will return ready to beat another battle, if that is what it takes. There are so many people who want to help you with that and so many that really care. Little Jess is especially on our miinds, that she will keep smiling and beat this thing.
Love,

Hey guys, Haven't caught this in a couple days, so I'm hoping and praying you guys get the news that Jess is a candidate for surgery, and as soon as is possible. I can't imagine what this is like for you, but God won't give any of us more than we can handle, and you guys are so deep in faith, he'll give you the means to get to the other side and thrive when you get there.

I hope things are going a little better. Jess looks so cute on the swing. It's so hard to believe our kids can look so healthy, yet have the problems they have. We're continuing to pray for your family. We have an appt with Dr Frost next week along with an EEG. Hopefully we can see some improvements at our house soon as well if they can figure out the right meds. It seems it's either not enough or too much medication all the time. Jonathan finally got his licence and only made it 2 weeks. Now we start over again. I've learned not to take any seizure free days (months or years) for granted. Hang in there!!!

I am so glad that Jess is back home and I hope that everything continues to go well for her and that you can get on top of her seizures. I know that you don't me but I am Tyler Vetter's wife(he works with Jason) and we have a daughter who also has seizures. You are in good hands with Dr. Mutchler - he took care of both of our daughters when they were in the NICU and when Caroline began having seizures. If you ever need anything or someone to talk to we will be glad to be there! We will keep you all in our prayers.

Hey you guys,
Sure was nice to hear from you. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think and pray about "baby Jess." I also have many people back home that have included her in their prayer chain. I'm so interested to hear how this diet will work for Jess. Sounds like it might be doing something already. Is it as hard as they made it seem Amy?
Jeffery continues to go up on the Felbamate drug, with no rash yet, thank God. He is weaning off the Zonagran. More enery and activity as well on this side. Keep in touch Amy. Not only is Jess strong, but I could tell you are as well. Think of you often and wonder how your holding up.
Your friend, Cindy Petersen <petersenc2@mit.midco.net>

Hi Amy and Jason. My husband Neil and I met you guys at the hospital a few days ago. We were there w/ our 6 mo old Kylie. You have such a gorgeous baby girl and we are praying that the diet will work for you guys. It's not really an option for us, since Kylie's seizures are caused by her tubors (similar to tumors). We will keep your family in our prayers! Love The Gibbons family (Maria, Neil & Kylie) www.caringbridge.org/mn/kylie

hello Amy & Jason: thanks for your update. our prayers will definetly be for a successful diet plan.. It feels good to hold and cuddle Jess doesn't it. Because she is "stubborn" like her dad.. in no time she will be pushing you away to get down on the floor and take off... You know that God's plan is in action-- rest in that... one day at a time is a good thing to focus on- and yes, sometimes it will be one hour to the next that you will need to focus on.. it sounds like you are in good hands with the medical people. trust in them like you are trusting in God to make things clear to you guys.. have a restful night... hugs -love you -

I'm Eric Kittelberger's sister and have epilepsy. I also work for the Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California, primarily in advocacy and referral roles, though I do operations and client-base analysis, as well.
This is a scary time for you, and especially Jess. I'll keep her in my prayers. Feel free to contact me if you wish.
