Psalms 50:15 And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, July 21, 2007 1:14 AM CDT Dear Connie, It is hard to believe that it has been over eight months, since Jeffrey left this life. In only a little more than a week, it will be nine months. I have not forgotten your handsome, brave young man, and I have not forgotten you. I remember Jeffrey often beneath the Jesus and the Children stained glass window. I also remember his buddy, Mike Billington, while I am there. God bless you, and God bless all of Jeffrey's friends and other loved ones. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Sunday, July 15, 2007 12:55 AM CDT Always keep your eyes on the Lord no matter what happens. Continuing to pray so very hard for your family! Psalms 40:1-4a I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust... Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, July 13, 2007 10:03 PM CDT Derma Laser Clinic Leeds LS16 6EB left me with a damaged half paralyzed face after botox treatment. I am unable to smile properly and look like a freak when I do. Also my eyelids have drooped and feel like lead weights, this also affects my vision. My eyes have since gone on to both have infections. I paid £350 for treatment to eyes & forehead and I'm told by my own GP that they must have injected into wrong areas of muscle causing it to spread throughout my face. They said it will take 6-8 months to clear. I have complained but get the runaround. I am also sure that the chemicals used were being used repeatedly, as opposed to new ones unsealed for each patient. And I'm also certain that they were not as described and likely sub-standard generic chemicals from the sub-continent. I wish I could wind the clock back because Derma Laser Clinic - Leeds has left me without confidence and paranoid when in public. I just hope that nobody else suffers what I have. I found out afterwards on the Healthcare Commission website that Derma Laser Clinic Ltd have a poor reputation for most things. I heard the person who administered the drug mutter 'stupid' to himself whilst injecting, now I know why he said it. I've since found out that there are much more reputable clinics then Derma Laser Clinic. The person who administered this chemical into my face had only been on a short course before wreaking havoc with my face. He also used no hygiene such as alcohol wipes & gloves. DERMA LASER CLINIC <SAD@HOTMAIL.COM> - Friday, July 13, 2007 11:05 AM CDT Know that I'm here continuing to pray!

This week-end is Michael's bestfriends wedding that he was supposed to the second best man, last week was supposed to be his trip to Hawaii with Meghan and her family for their college graduation present. I'm sure Mike is one pissed off Angel. I hope Jeff can cheer him up. Jeff was one of Mike's special heros. I would love to come to Ohio and visit you one week-end. I really need to speak to someone who really knows how I feel. We took a trip last week and flying home I felt so close to him in that airplane, I felt I could almost touch him. I miss him so much. Love, Pat Pat Billington <pat_billington@yahoo.com> Hackettstown, NJ USA - Thursday, June 14, 2007 11:45 PM CDT My family was at the Relay, (Bodge's Bellas), and it just wasn't the same without Jeff. His presence was felt, though, and it was a beautiful moment when his family lit the candles opening the luminary ceremony. The songs were beautiful and I think of Jeff when I hear them, esp. Its a Great Day to be Alive. Take care, Jeffs family and friends.

Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, May 11, 2007 11:33 PM CDT These words are so very comforting.

Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, April 28, 2007 0:33 AM CDT Dear Connie, I'm glad you are still updating the site. I heard from a reliable source who said Jeff was one of the angels waiting for Mike. Mike must be very happy in his new life because although I miss him terribly, I'm not really sad. I'm happy he has gone to a wonderful place and has no more pain. I wish he was still here with us but I have to believe God had a special plan for him just like he has for Jeff. I too am sure they are having a great time playing golf on God's Fairway. I hope Jeff gives him some pointers because the last time they played in Myrtle Beach Jeff kicked his butt. I think of you and Jeff everyday and am so lucky to know you both. You both have always been an inspiration to us. Love, Pat Pat Billington <pat_billington@yahoo.com> Oxford, NJ USA - Wednesday, April 25, 2007 7:44 PM CDT We still check Jeff's page often and think about him and your family.

John & Sharon Brady john brady <flyeasterncaptainjohn@gmail.comn> north caldwell, nj usa - Saturday, April 14, 2007 5:37 PM CDT These words have always been so special to me.

Refrain: "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. Earth her joy confesses, clothing her for spring, all fresh gifts return with her returning King: bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough, speak his sorrow ended, hail his triumph now. Months in due succession, days of lengthening light, hours and passing moments praise thee in their flight. Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea, Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to thee. Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all, thou from heaven beholding human nature's fall, of the Father's Godhead true and only Son, mankind to deliver, manhood didst put on. Thou, of life the Author, death didst undergo, tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; come then, true and faithful, now fulfill thy word, 'tis thine own third morning! rise, O buried Lord! Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; all that now is fallen raise to life again; show thy face in brightness, bid the nations see; bring again our daylight: day returns with thee!

May today lead to a Holy and Joyous Easter and be a foretaste of the wonderful Day of Resurrection to come. God bless you always. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry out in tranquility the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. ~The Book Of Common Prayer, Page 280 Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Saturday, April 7, 2007 6:01 PM CDT Sorry about the day today. I heard bits and pieces of the game and last I heard it was postponed. Your guys were handling my guys pretty well, though. Wonder what happens now? Don't suppose it will warm up for tomorrow? Today we celebrate one of the most amazing yet totally incomprehensible days in all of history. I wanted to share some verses that speak of this day, praying that they'll touch your heart as they have mine. Still here praying! Isaiah 52:14 As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Matthew 27:46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. The Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, April 7, 2007 0:14 AM CDT Dear Connie, I have been thinking of Jeffrey on this Good Friday.

Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Friday, April 6, 2007 11:56 PM CDT Dear Connie, It certainly is hard to see baseball season start without Jeffrey on earth. I just learned of another baseball fan, Mike Billington, from Jeffrey's guest book, and I have signed Mike's book. The birds are singing here today in Clifton Park. They add such cheer and hope to my life. I hope you are finding something similar today. God bless you always, and God bless Jeffrey's sweet spirit. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette A Collect for Saturdays: Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all you works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ~The Book Of Common Prayer, Page 99 Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Saturday, March 31, 2007 12:36 AM CDT Still here, still praying!!!!!!!!!!! Psalms 16:8-9 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

He is very tired and can't take much more. He is looking forward to playing golf with Jeff on God's Fairways. Tell Jeff to look out for him. www.caringbridge.org/visit/michaelbillington Love, Pat Pat Billington <pat_billington@yahoo.com> Hackettstown, NJ USA - Thursday, March 29, 2007 6:52 AM CDT Hard to see baseball season starting without Jeff... Every once in a while I have to come back and share this passage that I've shared before in some guestbooks. I just really think it's important to know that the Holy Spirit Himself is praying for you! What a tremendous comfort! Romans 8:26-27 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. The Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, March 23, 2007 11:35 PM CDT Happy St. Patrick's Day! Dear Connie and Family, I am thinking of Jeffrey, and of you all, on a snowy March day. I hope you are well. Since it is St. Patrick's Day, I am including a copy of the long poem, attributed to St. Patrick, known as the Lorica, and also as St. Patrick's Breastplate. The translation given here is by Cecil Frances Alexander, whose husband was Archbishop of Armagh, and thus the direct successor of Patrick. She published nearly 400 poems and hymns of her own, including There is a Green Hill Far Away, Once in Royal David's City, and All Things Bright and Beautiful. God bless you all, and of course, God bless Jeffrey. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette The Lorica, or, St. Patrick's Breastplate: I bind unto myself today the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three. I bind this day to me forever, by power of faith, Christ's Incarnation; his baptism in the Jordan river; his death on cross for my salvation; his bursting from the spiced tomb; his riding up he heavenly way; his coming at the day of doom: I bind unto myself today. I bind unto myself the power of the great love of cherubim; the sweet "Well done" in judgement hour; the service of the seraphim; confessors' faith, apostles' word, the patriarchs' prayers, the prophets' scrolls; all good deeds done unto the Lord, and purity of virgin souls. I bind unto myself today the virtues of the starlit heaven, the glorious sun's life-giving ray, the whiteness of the moon at even, the flashing of the lightning free, the whirling wind's tempestuous shocks, the stable earth, the deep salt sea, around the old eternal rocks. I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead, his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken to my need; the wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech, his heavenly host to be my guard. [Against the demon snares of sin, the vice that gives temptation force, the natural lusts that war within, the hostile men that mar my course; of few or many, far or nigh, in every place, and in all hours against their fierce hostility, I bind to me these holy powers. Against all Satan's spells and wiles, against false words of heresy, against the knowledge that defiles against the heart's idolatry, against the wizard's evil craft, against the death-wound and the burning the choking wave and poisoned shaft, protect me, Christ, till thy returning.] Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, Christ to comfort and restore me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ in quiet, Christ in danger, Christ in hearts of all that love me, Christ in mouth of friend and stranger. I bind unto myself the Name, the strong Name of the Trinity, by invocation of the same, the Three in One, and One in Three. Of whom all nature hath creation, eternal Father, Spirit, Word: praise to the Lord of my salvation, salvation is of Christ the Lord. Hear it at: http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/i/i024.html Here is the collect of the day: Almighty God, who in your providence chose your servant Patrick to be the apostle of the Irish people, to bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of you: Grant us so to walk in that light, that we may come at last to the light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever. Amen. Gratefully. Faithfully. Peacefully. Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Saturday, March 17, 2007 11:59 AM CDT Thinking about your family... The Lord is always there with you! And I continue to life you up in prayer! Romans 8:35, 37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ex 15:2: The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. The Prayer Bears Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, February 16, 2007 11:44 PM CST Hello Newbauer & Guy Families!!!! Just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about and praying for all of you each and everyday just like always... I also wanted to remind you all that if there is ever anything you need, whether its help with a fundraising event or just to see a big huge smile that is almost as great as Jeffy's, you know you can always count on me! :o) Lots of Love & Big Hugs xoxo Miranda :) <mh187503@ohio.edu> Twinsburg, OH - Thursday, February 15, 2007 11:19 PM CST Happy Valentine's Day To All Of Jeff's Family! My thoughts and prayers are with you. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Happy are those who love and cherish one another. ~Anonymous Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Wednesday, February 14, 2007 5:18 AM CST Dear Connie, As I added my note, I realized you already have the number confirmation system on Jeff's site. God bless you always, and may your memories of Jeff always be sweet. ~Colette~ Colette - Tuesday, February 13, 2007 8:08 AM CST Dear Connie, I am sorry to learn that Alex lost his job. There is a lot of that going around, effecting people of all ages. My prayers will be with him, to find something he enjoys doing, soon. I am also sorry to see all of the advertising, here, on Jeff's website. You know, as manager of the site, you can delete those things. You can also have CaringBridge add a confirmation number system, that will prevent this from continuing to happen. Jason Archer's site now has one, and apparently, it is working. I think you have Jason's site address, but just in case, here it is www.caringbridge.org/tn/jasona. We are expecting a major storm, so just in case, my power is off, let me now wish you and all of your family a Happy Valentine's Day. Beneath my signature, I will add some of my favorite quotations about love. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new. ~Ursula K. LeGuin People who love each other fully and truly are the happiest people in the world. They may have little, they may have nothing, but they are happy people. Everything depends on how we love one another. ~Mother Teresa Duty calls us to do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully. ~Phillips Brooks Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Tuesday, February 13, 2007 8:06 AM CST Jeff was diagnosed the same month as Mamie. She relapsed the month before he did. We have had a year and a half longer to adust to not hearing her voice. It does get easier with time, but if we stopped missing our children we would lose our precious memories of them. I understand how hard it is for Alex to look for a new job. I knew for a long time that my job was not secure, but couldn't get motivated to look for another. When the layoff notice came last October, I elected to remain with the company for a while in "casual" status. That meant I still had an office and if any work came along for me, I would get paid for whatever hours there were (but no healthcare, paid holidays, etc). Then, if full-time work came along, I would not have to "apply" for the job. After a couple of months a good position came open and my status was changed back to full-time. Try not to think that Jeff "lost his battle." You wrote once that you knew his grandmother welcomed him into Heaven. They will both welcome you when your work here is finished. www.caringbridge.org/al/mamieadams Mamie's Daddy <george.f.adams@us.army.mil> Huntsville, AL USA - Saturday, February 10, 2007 11:04 AM CST Still praying for your family!!! What comfort to have such a sure promise from Jesus, an anchor for our soul! Heb 6:17-20: Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, February 9, 2007 11:19 PM CST Just checking in to let you know that we think of Jeff often and can not imagine how difficult this time is for all of his family. Jeff touched so many and will be remembered with love. Roxanne <mcmsincroxanne@hotmail.com> St.Pete, fl usa - Monday, February 5, 2007 8:01 PM CST Connie and family, I think of Jeff and your family often. I know what you all have to be going through is so hard. I still pray for your family and will continue to do so. I remember when my father was still here he said to me, "When you loose someone you love you never get over it you just learn to live with it". I pray that God will make it easier for you and your family. By the way thank you for the book it was truly amazing. Mary Papa <Thecoool111@yahoo.com> Twinsburg, Oh USA - Sunday, February 4, 2007 11:19 PM CST Hi My name is Jenna and I came across Jeff's page. I don't know if I have ever wrote in his guestbook or not, but I have came across his page several times before, and now I came on it again, and saw that he had past away. his story and the way he never gave up touched me and inspired me. I myself suffer from a severe life threatening bone disease. You are all in my prayers. www.caringbridge.org/canada/jenna Jenna <fighter_smiley@yahoo.ca> Kamloops, BC Canada - Saturday, February 3, 2007 7:54 PM CST Newbauer and Guy family~ i just wanted you to know i have been thinking about you and love you dearly.. praying for you Amber Brandolini -the lil blonde girl <abrandol@kent.edu> - Friday, February 2, 2007 11:50 PM CST Know that I'm here praying as always!

Wednesday, January 24, 2007 5:19 AM CST I wanted to formally thank everyone who showed their support for Jeff's cause. I speak for all of Thunderlips by saying that we apperciate being asked to help & wish we could have done more. Our best wishes go to Jeff's family & having personally grown up with him i can say that how he lived will always be an example to us all. Always support those in need, JAM Joseph A. Mancini <ThunderlipsJAM@yahoo.com> Twinsburg, OH United States - Sunday, January 21, 2007 7:15 PM CST Dear Connie, I just want you to know that I think of you and of Jeff often. He was remembered at Holy Eucharist, at St. George's yesterday. One of my all time favorite authors is Madeleine L'Engle. I have read about 50 of her books, which include adolescent literature, poetry, fiction for adults, and personal memories. She is a deeply spiritual person, who I have had the honor of meeting on two occasions. You might enjoy some of her books, as you travel the road of bereavement. I would recommend, as starting points, her Newberry Honor Book, a Ring of Endless Life, or The Summer of the Great-Grandmother, which tells about the final illness and death of her mother, or Two Part Invention, the story of her marriage to the late actor Hugh Franklin. Some of these are out-of print, but may be available at places on the internet like Amazon.com, and all should be available through your public library, either in their collection, or through the inter-library loan program. God bless you always. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Nothing loved is ever lost, or perished. ~Madeleine L'Engle, American author, In A Ring of Endless Light Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Sunday, January 21, 2007 12:21 AM CST I love the picture these words paint. Still here praying! Ps 17:8: Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, January 20, 2007 0:43 AM CST Praying that the Lord will bless your efforts to raise money. Still praying so for your family! This psalm is such a special one. I pray that it gives you comfort and peace! Ps 121: I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, January 13, 2007 0:27 AM CST I came to see how you were doing. The holidays are hard but it seems you survived it well. Sending you a big hug. Suryan's homepage Laurie <casadewhippets@yahoo.com> Hi - Wednesday, January 10, 2007 12:13 AM CST Dear Connie, Today is my mother's birthday. Even thought she died many years ago, I always think of her on this day. If loss of a middle age parent is difficult for a young woman, now a middle ager herself, the loss of a child has to be extremely difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you often. Jeff was remembered at the Epiphany service, at St. George's, yesterday. Beneath my signature, I will add today's collect. God bless you always, and, of course, God bless your handsome son. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Father in heaven, who at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan proclaimed him your beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit: Grant that all who are baptized into his Name may keep the covenant they have made, and boldly confess him as Lord and Savior; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. ~The Book Of Common Prayer, Page 214 Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Sunday, January 7, 2007 10:49 AM CST Crying to the Lord on your family's behalf! Ps.5:1-3: Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, January 6, 2007 0:01 AM CST I think about all of you all the time. I am so glad you had some great family time over the holidays! Jeff is looking down and smiling. Joanne Schaus <jschaus@adelphia.net> Twinsburg, Oh - Thursday, January 4, 2007 8:40 PM CST Dear Connie, I am glad you were able to keep busy on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and that you had so much fun on New Year's Eve. May 2007 be a year of peace and healing for you and for all of Jeff's loved ones. God bless you always. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Wednesday, January 3, 2007 11:19 PM CST I met his family only once, but I knew Jeff well-- I wanted his family to know that there are so many more people thinking of him and of them than can ever be written down. You and he both were in my thoughts constantly over the holidays, and I thank my lucky stars again that someone like Jeff was able to be in my life for even a brief time. He's still inspiring us all. Halle Miroglotta <suchprettytimes@hotmail.com> South Euclid, OH USA - Tuesday, January 2, 2007 9:12 PM CST Thinking of you and your family as we head into 2007. Tonight I hope a lot of people are resolving to help meet Jeff's wish by baseball's opening day in spring 2007. Happy New Year and God bless. Laura Laura McCarthy <lmccarthy@gci.net> Fairbanks, AK USA - Sunday, December 31, 2006 10:57 PM CST Stopping by to let you know that I'm still here and still praying! Ps:16:7-8: I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, December 30, 2006 0:17 AM CST Dear Connie and All, It was great reading about the celebration of Jeff's life that his friends provided on Jeff's birthday and the tributes they gave in having tattoos in his honor. Because of holiday activities at church and in the community, and family time, I have not been signing guest books very often in the past few weeks, but I did think of Jeff, several times, during Advent and Christmas, and I will continue to remember your handsome son. God bless you always. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Friday, December 29, 2006 0:51 AM CST Dear Connie and Family- I found this poem on angel Christi Thomas' site and wanted to share it with you. We are wishing you much peace and comfort during the upcoming holiday season and always. I still hear the songs I still see the lights I still feel your love On cold wintry nights I still share your hopes And all of your cares I'll even remind you To please say your prayers. I just want to tell you You still make me proud You stand head and shoulders Above all the crowd. Keep trying each moment To stay in his grace I came here before you To help set your place You don't have to be Perfect all of the time He forgives you the slip If you continue the climb. Oh my family and friends Please be thankful today I'm still close beside you In a new special way. I love you all dearly Now don't shed a tear Cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year. John William Mooney, Jr. (1990) Praying and hoping you feel Jeff's love around you always and especially during the upcoming holidays. Deb and George Icke Stow, OH - Saturday, December 23, 2006 4:49 PM CST Know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers so much as you face your first Christmas without Jeff. May the Lord wrap His loving arms around you and hold you tight! Lk.1:30-33: And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, December 23, 2006 0:57 AM CST Newbauer/Guy Family - Merry Christmas! Please know Jeff has been in my heart every day and I will be lighting a candle for him at Christmas mass. My God hold up your hearts through this holiday season. You guys are always in my prayers! Toni Darr Toni Darr <toni_darr@hotmail.com> Oak Harbor (Toledo), OH USA - Friday, December 22, 2006 10:27 AM CST Dear Guy/Newbauer Family, I can't believe how long it has been, since I have signed Jeff's book. I continue to remember Jeff, beneath the Jesus and the Children stained glass window, in our parish church, St. George's, here in Clifton Park. I also remember Jeff in other places, including last Tuesday night, at Christ Church, Ballston Spa, NY, where I attended folk style Advent Lessons and Carols, and Sunday, at the Cathedral of All Saints, in Albany, where I attended traditional style Christmas Lessons and Carols. May God bless Jeff's sweet spirit! I am thinking of you all. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Monday, December 18, 2006 3:51 AM CST Picked a verse that speaks of what happened around here a couple of nights ago. I live in Seattle, and the Lord brought "the wind out of his treasuries"! We lost power for about 14 hours and the internet for a lot more. So I'm sorry I haven't been around but know that your family has been in my prayers! Ps 135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.

Joan Boyle <jbcb@videotron.ca> Montreal , Quebec Canada - Wednesday, December 6, 2006 11:22 AM CST Hi Connie -- Thinking of you today as you remember the birth of your son Jeff 23 years ago. What a blessing he was to this world in his short, but full 22 years. I hope the fond memories of your time with Jeff give you some comfort today and the days ahead. He lives on in our hearts and will never be forgotten. In Jeff's honor, I intend to remember his contagious smile and pass it along to everyone I meet today. Hugs from Alaska, Laura McCarthy Laura McCarthy <lmccarthy@gci.net> Fairbanks, AK USA - Wednesday, December 6, 2006 11:14 AM CST HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFFY!!

Kelly <kelly1837@adelphia.net> Twinsburg, oh usa - Wednesday, December 6, 2006 8:22 AM CST HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY GEOFF!!!!!! im going to bring you some birthday cheer after work tonite, so wait for me!!!! i love you, i miss you, ill see you tonite!!!! Tricia <pptripi@kent.edu> Lyndhurst, OH - Wednesday, December 6, 2006 8:21 AM CST Dear Connie and family- I found this poem on the website of a sweet little angel named Christi Thomas. Christi lost her battle with neuroblastoma on Sept. 19 of this year. I didn't know her personally, but from her site (christithomas.com and christithomas.blogspot) she must have been a fighter and a truly amazing young soul like your Jeff. When I read the poem it reminded me of the book "90 minutes in Heaven" and hope to give you a tiny bit of peace and comfort for the upcoming holiday. 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 sound of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you of 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 for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place. Can you imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face? I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell him of your love. So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above. Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing for I am spending Christmas in heaven and I'm walking with the King. Thoughts and prayers with you always. Deb Icke <dlicke@neo.rr.com> Stow, OH - Tuesday, December 5, 2006 1:57 PM CST To My dearest Jeffrey, I ALWAYS SAID THAT YOU WERE MY SHINING STAR. NOW EACH NIGHT I LOOK OUT MY BEDROOM WINDOW AND WISH YOU A GOOD NIGHT AND BLOW YOU A KISS, AS YOU WILL ALWAYS SHINE DOWN ON ME. JEFFREY YOU HAVE TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, BUT, YOU STOLE MY HEART THE DAY YOU WERE BORN. I ENJOYED WATCHING YOU GROW UP INTO THE WONDERFUL MAN YOU BECAME. THIS WEEK WE HAVE TO WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND AS HARD AS THAT IS GOING TO BE, THE ONLY THING THAT GETS ME THROUGH IT, IS KNOWING THAT YOU ARE WITH GRANDMA, AND SHE WILL MAKE IT WONDERFUL. DECEMBER 6 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST JEFFREY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. YOU ARE DEEPLY MISSED AND LOVED. LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY AUNT GINA Gina Spuckler <lilred4662@adelphia.net> Sagamore Hills, oh US - Saturday, December 2, 2006 7:07 PM CST When seeking comfort from Scripture I don't think the first place you'd look is Lamentations. But I was reading a section yesterday and it really touched my heart. I pray that it will give you comfort, too! You know I'm praying!!!!!!! Lam.3:22-26: It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, December 1, 2006 11:51 PM CST Hi Connie, I got shivers up my spine and teary-eyed too reading your journal note this morning. The fact that people are carrying on Jeff's work is the answer to "What Would Jeff Do." I'll be thinking of you next week on Jeff's birthday and all the days ahead. I hope you can find strength from knowing that Jeff's presence is around you always -- he's probably sitting on your shoulder right now smiling and saying "Thanks Mom!" Blessings, Laura McCarthy (Jeremy Bosso's aunt) Laura McCarthy <lmccarthy@gci.net> Fairbanks, AK USA - Friday, December 1, 2006 1:46 PM CST Hi Con, I'm overwhelmed and inspired by your strength as your going through what must be the darkest moment of your life. But, as Collete reiterated, those that love God never meet for the last time. Live with that knowledge. There are MANY people that are praying for you and your family, including me. You're in my mind, and my heart. Peace and Grace Crina Susman <crina.susman@hartfordlife.com> Hallandale Beach, FL USA - Friday, December 1, 2006 9:43 AM CST Dear Connie, While I was at church yesterday, for St. Andrew's Day, I remembered Jeff beneath the Jesus and the Children stained glass window. My thoughts were also with the Shannons, who will be having Richie's funeral later today, and with the Hunleys, Davideits, Archers, and others, whose sons have also had Rhabdo. God bless you all. There is a Scriptorium prayer card that says, "Those that love God never meet for the last time." It is true! Hold onto to that thought, for you will see Jeff again, and when you do, "All Shall Be Well." God bless you always. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Friday, December 1, 2006 7:21 AM CST Hi Aunt Connie and family, um i know I read this poem to you already but I wanted everyone else to see it to. Your laugh and smile made my day I could not breath until I'd hear you say That Your alright and you'll always be And that you loved me more than the eye can see With all the poison lying within Your loving wish would just begin With all the sorrow this put us through We are proud to say we know and love you I cannot put into words how you made me feel When you said what your going through is not a big deal But we all saw the real you And we all helped make your dreams come true Looking back you were the one That we can smile with and have so much fun But now a new adventure begins Of something full of everything but sins You have changed my life and made me look That you shouldn't judge the cover of a book I love you alot and i'll miss you so You'll always be with me, that I know Julia Chiabai <jessjul05@aol.com> Sagamore Hills , OH - Wednesday, November 29, 2006 3:51 PM CST Thinking about Jeffrey and your family right now! This section of Scripture is longer today but wanted to keep the complete thought of the text. This is my prayer for you: Eph.3:14-19: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, November 25, 2006 1:14 AM CST Connie- you are in my heart and prayers. Please know that.

Toni Darr Toni Darr <toni_darr@hotmail.com> Toledo, OH US - Friday, November 24, 2006 7:07 PM CST Your love of the stage was a joy to us all at Chagrin Valley Little Theatre. We will miss your wonderful smile and joy of life. I was blessed to spend all that time as your producer and costumer when you joined us for "Grease". I also enjoyed all the love and joy you spread throughout those late nights at "Relay" You had such a great impact on so many people that there won't be enough space to write it all down. We will always carry you in our hearts. God had blessed us with your preasents and you have made us better people for it. Thank you for being the way you were and giving so many others courage to survive.

I read all the other entries and learned so much about him. He was such a brave man and what an angel to help all those others kids who were suffering with him. I wish I had extra money to donate to the baseball tour, but unfortunately I don't. I do, however, have lots of prayers! I will be praying for your family during this holiday season and also for his baseball tour. May God Bless You!

I want you to know that Jeff meant a great deal to me, and his ideals and his love for life will absolutely challenge me for the rest of my life. If someone as sick as he was could still live and have a zest for life, I feel like I, as a healthy person, have a responsiblity to do the same. You have so much to be proud of. I can't imagine your hurt... but I also can't imagine your pride. He was an amazing young man. Know that he touched many lives. Many that because of this page, you don't even know about.

The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Saturday, November 11, 2006 0:49 AM CST Dear Newbauer and Guy Families, I want you to know that I am thinking of your handsome, brave, and fun-loving Jeff. Yesterday, I attended All Saints Sunday Eucharist, at the Cathedral of All Saints, in Albany. While there, I remembered Connor Hunley (age 10), Jason Archer (age 19), and Jeff, all who left this world too soon, due to Rhabdo. I continue to pray for preventions, cures, and better treatment for all types of cancer. I am also praying for Rhonda and Eddie Hunley, Pam and David Archer, and all of Jeff's loved one. May God comfort, strengthen, and keep you all. Beneath my signature, I will place one of the hymns I am thinking this week. I have already provided you with the words to Who Are These Like Stars Appearing? Perhaps you can sing/pray one of these hymns with me today. God bless you all. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ For all the saints, who from their labors rest, who thee by faith before the world confessed, thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed. Alleluia, Alleluia! Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might; thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight; thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia, Alleluia! For the apostles' glorious company, who bearing forth the cross o'er land and sea, shook all the mighty world, we sing to Thee: Alleluia, Alleluia! For the Evangelists, by whose blest word, like fourfold streams, the garden of the Lord, is fair and fruitful, be thy Name adored. Alleluia, Alleluia! For Martyrs, who with rapture kindled eye, saw the bright crown descending from the sky, and seeing, grasped it, thee we glorify. Alleluia, Alleluia! O may thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, and win, with them the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia, Alleluia! O blest communion, fellowship divine! we feebly struggle, they in glory shine; all are one in thee, for all are thine. Alleluia, Alleluia! And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave, again, and arms are strong. Alleluia, Alleluia! The golden evening brightens in the west; soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest; sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed. Alleluia, Alleluia! But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory passes on his way. Alleluia, Alleluia! From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, and singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost: Alleluia, Alleluia! Words: Bishop William Walsham How (1823-1897), 1864 Music: Sine nomine, Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) Hear it at: http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/f/f174.html Gratefully. Faithfully. Peacefully. Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Tuesday, November 7, 2006 11:11 AM CST I am a volunteer with The Littlest Heroes, & met Jeff at our Race for Children's Sake.

I will not be able to hear "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" without thinking about him and the send off he received as he was laid to rest. I pray for you daily and wish you peace. Ann <radiogal62@adelphia.net> Scranton, PA United States of America - Saturday, November 4, 2006 10:19 PM CST Dear Connie and Family, Jeff was remembered before, and during, the Church Women United World Community Day Celebration, in Schenectady, NY, yesterday. May it be some comfort to you to know this. God bless you always. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Wisdom 3:1-9 The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others they were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself; like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them. In the time of their visitation they will shine forth, and will run like sparks through the stubble. They will govern nations and rule over peoples, and the Lord will reign over them forever. Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect.

The Prayer Bears Website Lynn <aprayerbear@gmail.com> Seattle, WA United States - Friday, November 3, 2006 11:35 PM CST Dear Newbauer Family, Jeff will truly be missed, for he was a caring man whose kindness and compassion was contagious. However, God will not put more on you than you can bear. I know that He will comfort you and give you the strengh to continue on. I believe that Jeff is now in Heaven, where he is no longer suffering, and for that I am so happy. You will continue to be in my (and my family's) thoughts and prayers. Jeff - hope to meet you there someday.

U.S.A. - Thursday, November 2, 2006 7:44 PM CST I have been friends with Jeff's brother, Steve, for a few years now and I have heard so much about your son. He seemed to be a strong young man who fought off many things but still had time to touch those around him including Steve. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your whole family. Kari Hannig <hannika@bgsu.edu> chesterland, oh USA - Thursday, November 2, 2006 4:29 PM CST God got his best angel on 10/25/2006. i have known jeff since i was 5 years old and he was like another brother to me. he always was so positive about everything. he will never be forgotten by anyone. i love ya newbe! r.i.p Steve Durst <lildirtydurst@yahoo.com> Twinsburg, Oh - Thursday, November 2, 2006 12:01 AM CST Sounds like Jeff had amazing brothers and a pretty amazing mom. I am so sorry for your loss. Cheryl and Angel Haley <bandcvincent@aol.com> - Thursday, November 2, 2006 10:51 AM CST Dear Connie, Thank you for updating Jeff's book today, All Saints' Day, 2006. It was heartening to read about Jeff's wonderful brothers, the standing ovation, and the singing of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." I have just read the tribute from Dr. Kate. It speaks volumes about Jeff and about the life we all can antiscipate, in God's eternal kingdom, where folks like Jeff stand before God's throne like stars, and where baseball and football must truly be enjoyed, as well. God bless you, your husband, Jeff's brothers, and all of Jeff's friends and other loved ones. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Who are these like stars appearing, these, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! Hark, they sing, praising loud their heavenly King. Who are these of dazzling brightness, clothed in God's own righteousness? These, whose robes of purest whiteness, shall their luster still possess, still untouched by time's rude hand? Whence came all this glorious band? These are they who have contended for their Savior's honor long, wrestling on till life was ended, following not the sinful throng; these who well the fight sustained, triumph through the Lamb have gained. These are they whose hearts were riven, sore with woe and anguish tried, who in prayer full oft have striven with the God they glorified; now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. These, the Almighty contemplating, did as priests before him stand, soul and body always waiting day and night at his command: now in God's most holy place blest they stand before his face. Words: Heinrich Theobald Schenk, 1719; trans. Frences Elizabeth Cox, 1841, rev. 1864 Music: Zeuch mich (All Saints Old) Hear it at: http://www.oremus.org/hymnal/w/w441.html Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Wednesday, November 1, 2006 8:31 PM CST Thank you for sharing your very special son with all of us so we might better learn how to live in the face of death. All of us who he touched, without ever having met him, have grown in our faith. May your family find peace in the difficult days ahead. Jeaneen Tucker (www.caringbridge.org/sc/stevetucker) <jtucker@rte.richland2.org> Blythewood, SC - Wednesday, November 1, 2006 7:39 PM CST Dear Connie, Jeff and families, As a pediatric oncologist, I see so much. I see families who are permanently torn apart by this horrible disease, and I see those like yours whose strength and courage are more than amazing to me. I see patients whose cancer is cured, and sometimes I watch as the cure moves farther into the distance. I try to make sense of death and I cannot. It is clear that as I attend funerals of young people, there is no sense, no reason, no answer to the burning question of “Why?” I do not attend the services for all of our patients who die, only the ones with whom I have shared a special bond or who have touched me in a particular way. I knew Jeff for less than one year, but as his brother pointed out, Jeff had that way of making you feel like you had known him for a lifetime. What an incredible young man. Although our interactions were few, I feel so blessed to have known Jeff, and will always be proud to say that I did. Such courage, such inspiration, woven into a background of a most remarkable family. I must say that at the funeral, before the standing ovation, I was wondering if we were all about to break out into “Take Me Out To The Ballgame.” I was not able to go to the cemetery, and then today I see that indeed this did happen, and it brought chills and a smile. Jeff saw it all, and was singing along. I’m reading a book that describes each person as having their own heaven – its own people, even its own smell. What is Jeff’s heaven? It’s baseball and football season all the time, and he goes to the World Series every year. There is no cancer. He sees his loved ones down below, all the time, no matter where they are. When we can’t answer “Why?” we must find solace in the belief that there is a place where we will meet again someday. When someone like Jeff is lost, I have to believe it even more. Thank you for the opportunity to care for him. I can see it now – Opening Day at Jacob’s Field in April, Jeff’s families on the local and probably national news proclaiming their success with the $2 million campaign. I’ll be cheering my heart out, remembering. Kate Gowans Kate Gowans <gowansk@ccf.org> Avon Lake, OH USA - Wednesday, November 1, 2006 2:13 PM CST To the Newbauer family, Our deepest sympathy to all of you upon the loss of Jeff. It's impossible to comprehend the courage Jeff and all of you showed throughout his long battle with cancer. Jeff's obvious zest for life, especially through baseball, has been and surely will be an inspiration for so many people even as Jeff's soul has gone to be with the Good Lord. His great concern for others facing terrible illness must be a great comfort to your family knowing your son was such a loving person. I'm very sorry I did not get to meet him personally when he was at Camden Yards this summer. Very sincerely, Steve Freeman Steven H. Freeman <sfreeman@orioles.com> Baltimore, MD Baltimore - Wednesday, November 1, 2006 12:18 AM CST Connie and Family, My thoughts and prayers are with you all. What a wonderful, wonderful family you have. May Jeff always watch over you all as your guardian angel. Sure hope he watches over those Indians, Cavs and Browns, too! The Studnicha Family <cstudnicha@alltel.net> Macedonia, OH - Wednesday, November 1, 2006 11:03 AM CST Connie, Stewart and family: I am very sorry to hear about Jeff. I have been following this web and Jeff's adventures for some time now and feel like I knew him well. Connie, as a mother, how proud you must be of him and his strength in his battle. You're a great mom and role model. I wasn't able to attend the services, but what a great tribute his brothers gave him. I'm sure Jeff got a big kick out of it. Take care, all. Shari Waple <shari.waple@mmoh.com> berea, Oh USA - Wednesday, November 1, 2006 10:31 AM CST Connie and Stewart, We can not express how sorry we are for your loss. Jeff was quite a guy. His talent, humor, and drive for life. After the funeral, we sat at the table and tried to make sense as to why God had taken such a young person who was doing so much to make this world a better place. Who was a great example of how we should live each day. How Jeff inspired us and what we were each going to do in his memory. Then this poem came up and brought it all into perspective. We talk about why people come and go from our lives. We wanted to share it with you and your family and friends: PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant Thank you Jeff for being a part of our life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. We will miss seeing your smiling face and bear hugs! Now we are committed to help your Dad raise the 2 million by Opening Day. Thank you for touching our lives. Your memories are with us forever. John, Kim, Andy and Kane Kapustik <Kkapustik@aol.com> Twinsburg, OH - Wednesday, November 1, 2006 9:45 AM CST We never imagined that someone we never had the opportunity to meet would touch our hearts so much. We have been following Jeff's story since August. It is clear to see that he was an amazing person. He has been an inspiration to us and many others. We enjoyed following his baseball tour, especially my husband (he is loyal Indian's fan). We admire all that he has accomplished. He was a remarkable individual. Although we have never met you, please know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Roy and Julie Jones <jhrosar@sbcglobal.net> Niles, OH USA - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 7:43 PM CST RIP Jeffrey. We ALL miss you!! You will be forever in our hearts. Sara Evans <sevans@benefit-services.com> Massillon, OH USA - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 3:55 PM CST I have a nephew that has been going through similar. He was 6-7 when diagnosed and is 11 at this time. He just received a bone marrow transplant 5 months ago and seems to be doining well. Prayer is the only way many of us see this through. Gods ways are not our own and sometimes we do not understand why. I will pray for your family and all of the families that are going through this and similar problems. Debbie Fowler <debowen52@hotmail.com> Portageville, Mo. United States - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:29 AM CST Dear Alex, Ross, Stewart, Jr., and Steven, I have just read the remarks of your mother's cousin, Michelle. I do not know your family personally, but I have been reading about Jeff and signing his guest book, for a few weeks. You sound like wonderful brothers and great young men. I am sure that both Jeff and your parents are very proud of you. As Michelle wrote, stay united to help each other through these day (and weeks) of bereavement and to be rocks for your dear parents. Also, hold onto the faith that your family practices. Both of these things are important, and if you do these, you will all become solid and happy men of strength, peace, and worth. God bless you all, and God bless the memory of your brother, Jeff. Grace and peace, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 10:22 AM CST Alex, Ross, Stewart Jr. and Steven, You had such courage and strength to be a part of Jeff's memorial service. You did great and I could bet that Jeff is very proud of everyone of you. He was truly blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family. The bond between a parent and their child is incredible, but the bond between siblings can be just as strong, and you have proven that. Stay strong and united like you are now and you will help each other get through this painful time. You are the rock for your parents to lean on. My heart goes out to each of you Love Michelle (Connie's cousin) Michelle Offredo <mymo1212@yahoo.com> Berea, Oh - Tuesday, October 31, 2006 7:22 AM CST Continuing to pray so for your family to the only true source of help in trouble!

Jeff was one of those people whom will always be around in spirit..so be sure to look for a sign from Jeff to you to remind you he is always watching and loves you. May God bless Jeff and his family and friends and know special people like Jeffrey will never be forgotten.

Norm Enterline <vaurhaus@yahoo.com> San Diego, Ca USA - Sunday, October 29, 2006 1:31 PM CST Dear Newbauer and Guy Families, As an autumn wind roars through southern Saratoga County, New York, I am thinking about Jeff and about his loved ones. I know this afternoon and evening and Jeff's funeral, tomorrow, will be difficult. I hope it helps a bit, to know that many are praying for you, at this time, including me. God bless you all. In the sure and certain hope of the resurrection and with my love, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Sunday, October 29, 2006 1:10 PM CST Coach Newbauer was more than a coach to us, he was like the older brother you have always wanted. He was kind, caring, a good guy to look up to and had a lot of friends. And sure Coach Newbauer may have passen away, but in my heart he lives on forever and ever. Chad Gerzeny <pgerzeny@adelphia.net> Twinsburg, OHIO USA - Sunday, October 29, 2006 10:58 AM CST I heard about Jeff's death today on the news. I really admired his tenacity and I truly believe that he put a name and a face on alveolar rhabdo {a disease that many doctors such as myself have only barely heard of}. I can not even try to understand how you are feeling. This was a tragic loss, however I am comforted by these diaries and the website by the way that Jeff lived his life to the fullest. What a great guy Mark welch <popcornb@penn.com> eldred, pa - Sunday, October 29, 2006 10:29 AM CST "Words From An Angel" I have not turned my back on you, So there is no need to cry. I'm watching you from heaven, Just beyond the sky. I've seen you almost fall apart When you could barely stand. I asked the Lord to comfort you, And watched him take your hand. He told me you are in more pain, Than I could ever be. He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard, Then gave your hand to me. Although you may not feel my hand Or see me by your side I've whispered that I love you While I wiped each tear you cried, So please try not to ache for me We'll meet again one day Beyond the dark and stormy sky A rainbow lights the way. A friend - Sunday, October 29, 2006 10:28 AM CST I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you're going through. May God grant you solace and relief. Chris - Sunday, October 29, 2006 10:09 AM CST To Jeff's family- We have not met you or your family, but we have been "following" Jeff's journey over the course of the year and were very saddened to hear of Jeff's passing. We have gone through a similar situation awhile back and we know this is not an easy time...just know that Jeff touched a great deal of people and his spirit will live on through all of us. Our deepest sympathies are with you and all of your family during this time.

While I was walking I was thinking about your family and praying so that the Lord would give you strength to get through these next few days. The eagles made me think of this verse: Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Christ the victorious, give to your servants rest with your saints in the regions of light.

What a way to think about the decisions we make and the thoughts we have about life. Jeff was so respected, loved and showed so much class everyday of his short life.

Jeff is still making the news(he's probably smiling down from Heaven over that:), as his passing was mentioned on KDKA radio in Pittsburgh this morning by the announcer here who interviewed him on the day of the 2006 All-Star Game this past summer. The announcer said he will never forget Jeff's courage. NO ONE WILL...NEVER! Our hearts, love & prayers go out to you all.

I logged in, would check the updates every other day or so, and avidly followed Jeff's Ballpark Tour. I have no idea the pain that you, and the friends and family that personally know and love Jeff feel, but please know that this perfect stranger has cried many tears over the loss of Jeff this week. God has a wonderful angel up there to help coach the other little kids... Jenna P <jenna@attorneypeyton.com> Cleveland, OH USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 7:53 PM CDT To my cousin, you will be missed dearly.

Love, Holly Holly O'Bryan (Guy) <holly@lek.net> Stow, Oh usa - Friday, October 27, 2006 7:13 PM CDT To the parents of Jeff-- I did not know Jeff at all, but one thing I did know was how much he was and is loved by sooo many people. I would always hear things about Jeff..always positive things.. about how much of a wonderful, inspiring guy he was to people, how much fun he was to be with and talk too. To my disadvantage, I never met Jeff but continulously heard nothing but wonderful things about your son. It is such a horrible tragic that he had to go at such a young age..God called Jeff to be with him and now we know he is safe, and not in any pain. He will forever look down on you and wait until the day comes to meet all his family and friends again. This is a poem describing my feelings for Jeff: I pray for you and wish I could do more, But more I cannot do from far away. Like leaves before the wind we cannot stay, Ripped dancing, dancing to the forest floor. I wish I could your ailing health restore And bring you to the strength of yesterday, But all we mortal souls can do is pray That God might alter what we have in store. The beauty in our fragile life is love, The only thing that makes the moment matter, The golden thread that binds us all in light. I wish, I wish I could your pain remove, But like a wall the truth my will must shatter, And so I send my prayers into the night. -Dimitri Shostakovich I will continue to pray for Jeff and his family!! GOD BLESS ALL!! Kristin Adante <adanteka@muc.edu> Twinsburg, Ohio - Friday, October 27, 2006 6:20 PM CDT Jeff was an amazing person, a great friend, and an inspiration to all who knew him. His time here on earth was short, but he accomplished many great things and touched the lives of so many people. I know he is in peace in heaven now, and he is watching over the lives of all of the people he loves. Rest in peace, Jeff. You are certainly missed. Nicole Cellura <ncellur1@kent.edu> Twinsburg, OH 44087 - Friday, October 27, 2006 5:55 PM CDT I am very sorry to hear about Jeff's passing. I was very fortunate to have met him.

I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to get to know your wonderful son - the adjectives generous, strong, fun, inspirational all apply. It is truly a tragedy that cancer stole such a vital young man from us and I promise you that Jeff will continue to be an inspiration for me to continue to work for search for better treatments. You both did a wonderful job of filling Jeff's last months with opportunities to fulfill at least some of his dreams.....he did not go quietly and you all had a hand in making a huge impact in awareness for young people's cancer. I will not be in Cleveland for his services but know that you will be in my prayers - I hope the love that surrounds you is of comfort. with love, Mary Payne Mary Payne <payne1614@aol.com> Cleveland, OH USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 4:12 PM CDT I'm sorry to have learned of Jeff's passing.

Dan Watkins <danwatkins@charter.net> St. Louis, MO USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 4:08 PM CDT My deepest sympathy to all members of the Guy/Newbauer families. Thank you for sharing Jeff with all of us- his spirit, compassion and courage have made an impact on so many people. I feel very blessed to have shared a small part of his life- first, as his friend's Mom, then as a fellow survivor. You should all be incredibly proud of all that Jeff was able to accomplish, and how dedicated he was to fighting not only his own cancer, but those that affect so many of us. Know that he is now healed, happy, and watching over all of us. His spirit will be ever-present amongst those of us fortunate enough to have shared a part of his journey. God bless you all.

We are fighting the battle of childhood cancer down here in Chattanooga, TN also. A friend of mine who is now 11 is battling neuroblastoma. She is such a fighter. It has been such an amazing experience getting to know her and do what I can to help. Her name is Lana Beth Webster, she has a site on here if you would like to check it out. caringbridge.org/ga/lbw When I saw your son it made me want to do even more to fight this terrible battle.

Tammy Littleton <tammy.littleton@mo.nacdnet.net> Keytesville, MO USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 2:32 PM CDT I met Jeff at the Littlest Heroes' first Race this summer. He was hurting but still full of energy. I took more than 400 pictures of the event and there were many shots of Jeff as the spokesperson, as a walker, and as a college kid having fun. To Jeff's parents, please let me know if you would like a copy on CD-rom. While it would be hard to comprehend your hurt, I certainly know, from my working with our Westlake and Bay kids with cancer, that it is a very rotten feeling.

He wrote in his recent update on his site that he isn't afraid of dying, he's afraid of dying without having made an impact. That is hardly the case with your amazing son. His impact, like a stone thrown in a lake, ripples out in all kinds of unexpected ways. He is truly a hero. Nancy Levin <nanc11@comcast.net> Bloomfield Hills, MI USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 2:17 PM CDT “Hope is the power that gives us the power to step out and try.” I only started following your son's journey and accomplishments this past summer. His hope, determination and strength never seemed to waver in the face of such devastating adversity…he continued to “step out and try.” This is testimony to the family and friends that surrounded him and continue to lift him up in their thoughts and prayers. He will be missed but he will always be in your hearts.

Caroline Simpson <caroline.simpson@allstate.com> Mayfield Village, OH US - Friday, October 27, 2006 1:24 PM CDT I met Jeff my freshman year at Kent State and we were in a couple of plays together. He was the nicest person and so respectful towards everyone. He was an amazing guy, and I have his family in my prayers. He will be missed. Jordyn Detwiler Kent, OH USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 1:22 PM CDT So sorry to read this news,no words can comfort you at this time, but hope you know that you are in so many people thoughts, I have been following Jeffs story on the Rhabdo list, even though I do not post, I always read everyones news. I hope one day you will find some peace knowing how brave Jeff was. Love Debbie (Chloe's mum) Debbie Wright <deb.wright1@btopenworld.com> Herne Bay, uk - Friday, October 27, 2006 12:51 AM CDT I'm so sorry for your loss. Jeff was an inspiration to many people. I didn't know Jeff personally, but as a nurse and graduate of Twinsburg, I really admired his courage and strength as he battled his illness. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Beth Farine Aurora, OH - Friday, October 27, 2006 12:33 AM CDT To Jeff's family I am a friend of Moira Keller she has always kept me posted on Jeff's progress. I am so sorry for your loss. As a mother of 3 I can't imagine the loss of a child. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. May your happy memories of your time with Jeff get you past this sad time in your life. Debbie Kutschbach Debbie Kutschbach <Kutschbach@verizon.net> pittsburgh, pa usa - Friday, October 27, 2006 12:27 AM CDT I had the honor of walking in the first annual Littlest Heroes 'Race for Kids Sake' in August. It is there on a dreary, rainy Cleveland day, that I saw this young man with such a radiance about him, I thought that he was surrounded by angels. At first I didn't see him. I looked away and had to look back. This young man could have been any young man. But this young man, surrounded by angels, was your beloved Jeff. It was then that I truly understood celebrating life. What an awesome young man. I started to really look at the people around me. There was no resentment or bitterness lingering. There was joy and passion. And don't you know before we started to walk, the rain stopped! I am so blessed to have been there. I only wish I could have met Jeff. I pray that God will truly cradle you in his arms as you face the days ahead. That He will provide strength and comfort to you, Jeff's family and friends. How many young lives and not-so-young lives did Jeremy touch and have a positive influence on? We will never know. But I'm sure, that just like me, someone he never saw or spoke to, has seen his radiance and they are all the better for it. God bless and keep you. Joanie S. Amherst, OH USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 12:13 AM CDT I am Constantinos from Athens Greece a very small person in combination with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Constantinos Athens, Greece - Friday, October 27, 2006 12:06 AM CDT Race for Childrens Sake Volunteer I feel honored to have met Jeff and been a part of the Race for Childrens Sake and the cause he felt so strongly about. Everyone can carry on his work in his physical absence and know he is still helping behind the scenes. Love and peace to his family and friends. Nicole Morinec <nicole@contempodg.com> Cleveland, oh USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 11:47 AM CDT I've tried to sign your guestbook three times yesterday and I just found myself crying so bad I couldn't even see the screen. I am so sorry for the loss of not having your son with you right now. I've been reading your journal since you signed our guestbook and I have to say we have a lot in common. We are both moms of some pretty amazing young men. The anguish of dealing with Rhabdo is beyond a nightmare but it sounds like your son handled everything so incredibly well. He is admired by so many. So know that there is a family in Nevada thinking and praying for you and your family during the days ahead. Unfortunately, we too will know your experience first-hand soon, as Richie battles this beast to the end. Just as Jeff did. My heart goes out to you Connie, mom to mom. May God comfort you at this time. Thinking about you, Sheri Shannon (www.caringbridge.org/nv/richie) ARMS StageIV <ntwojesus@hotmail.com> Sparks, NV - Friday, October 27, 2006 11:43 AM CDT Hi Connie and family. I'm Jeremy's Bosso's aunt in Fairbanks, Alaska. I was just sitting here at work this Friday morning (Oct 27) listening to our local radio station and they started talking about Jeff and his wish to visit all the baseball stadiums before he passed. Thought you would like to know that Jeff is being thought about and talked about all over this country -- including Alaska. What a special young man -- and now a handsome angel. It probably doesn't feel like the tears will ever stop, but you'll get to a point when you'll think of Jeff and be able to just smile. He was a special gift to this world! Thank you for sharing your son with all of us -- we're better people for having known him. Laura Laura McCarthy <lmccarthy@gci.net> Fairbanks, AK USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 11:33 AM CDT Jeff- Here's hoping you got a box seat to every game for eternity. God bless you for living every minute of your too short life to the fullest. You fought a gallant battle, and are an inspiration to so many.. Dave Peabody, MA - Friday, October 27, 2006 11:17 AM CDT Well Jeff, it must be nice up there, 85 degrees and sunny, hot dogs, cold beer, Ruth and Gehrig and Robinson and Reese.

Danny Ross Lunsford <unixmonster@hotmail.com> St. Louis, MO USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 10:50 AM CDT Jeff is good now. I pray you find peace soon.

Amy, mom to Paxton, Rhabdo List Amy Green Portage, MI USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 10:30 AM CDT Dear Jeff, I want you to know that it was a true honor and privilege to have known someone with such purpose, passion, and perseverance that you possessed. I also want you to know that this is not goodbye, but until I see you again. Your legacy will inspirer so many others to fight. You inspired me as well. My prayers are with your family.

His presence was amazing and will be sorely missed. I know I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to cross his path and to have been alive while Jeff was on this earth. We will never forget him. God grant comfort to all of us who are feeling so sad, especially his family. With much love, The Ligas Family Paula Ligas <plol2009@yahoo.com> Maple Hts., OH USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 9:16 AM CDT I was heartbroken to learn of Jeff's passing. I want you to know that he gained his angel wings on Gracie's birthday, and I am sure she was waiting for him in heaven with a huge hug and some scooby doo stickers. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of loss. Gracie always loved to see Jeff on her trips to the clinic. May your family find peace and comfort. God Bless you.

We pray you find comfort in knowing that Jeff is with "Mrs. C" once again. Love to you all... Dave, Sue and Madelyn Svenson Northfield Center, Oh - Friday, October 27, 2006 7:41 AM CDT We were very saddened to learn that Jeff's struggle ended. We have been following Jeff's fight since Elizabeth began her own journey in January of this year. Jeff chose to fight and teach both of which are amazing tasks. The fact that he chose to do both at the same time reflects what an amazing young man he was. His fight impacted the world, especially here in the states - every baseball club will remember him and the thousands in the parks. Not many can say that they achieved that in their own healthy lives. His life also reflects what a wonderful family he has and great parents that instilled such values. His actions speak volumes of you. Again we are so very sorry. www.caringbridge.org/visit/elizabethdoxey Lynn & Elizabeth ARMS II <pickwicknt@optonline.net> Yorktown Heights, NY USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 7:10 AM CDT Dear Connie: I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your son, Jeffrey. He definitely earned his wings!!!! I have not talked to you since 1972/73. You see we attended Dunham Elementary School together. I just met up again with Donna Judson (nee Salamone). The world is a very small place. I wanted to express my condolences from my family to yours.

Mark Schwendeman and Larry Schwendeman <m.schwendeman@schwendeman.com> Marietta, OH USA - Friday, October 27, 2006 5:55 AM CDT Guy/Newbauer family- I want to commend you for sticking by Jeff through all of the hard times and for keeping a positive outlook on it all. Jeff could not have accomplished all he did without your support. It is partly because of you that Jeff will be remembered as such an amazing person. Jeff was forced to grow up much quicker than any of us and its because of him that we have learned to live each day to the fullest. I don't know if anyone can do that in the way he did, but I know I will be thinking about him each and everyday, and will be reminded to try and do so. Connie- I've always been impressed with your ability to "keep it together" and to stay strong for Jeff. I know that he was a fighter for so long because you showed him how. You didn't let him give up and he fought until the end for that reason. I can only imagine how hard that must have been. I hope that in all of your sorrow you can find comfort knowing that jeff is in a better place now, where he is probably "stealing the show" as he was always known to do. He will be forever missed here and will remain in our hearts. I know I will use what Jeff taught me everyday. I will be keeping you in my prayers and I just want to say thank you. Love you Jeff Kelly Carbone <Kelly00350@yahoo.com> Twinsburg, Ohio usa - Friday, October 27, 2006 5:32 AM CDT Dear Newbauer Family, Know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Megan Burke <burkem2@ccf.org> Cleveland, OH - Thursday, October 26, 2006 4:15 PM CDT Our son Nick was on the 7th grade football team this year. We didn't know about Jeff and his cancer until later in the season. As we watched him coach last week's game, despite his suffering, we were humbled at what a remarkable young man he was. Nick told us about Coach Newbauer's talk on having "heart" at last Friday's game. Our hearts ache for you all right now. We told Nick that as he grows up, to always think about Coach Newbauer and to model his love and commitment to others. Know that you are all in our prayers. We can all use an angel like Coach Newbauer.

Sarah Parker <parker_sarah_m@yahoo.com> Orlando, Fl USA - Thursday, October 26, 2006 2:16 PM CDT Jeff, The last time I saw you was when you were throwing me over your shoulder as you pretended to be "Jeff Irwin" capturing a gazelle during the West Side Story reunion party. Even though we only knew each other for a few months, I never forgot you; how hilarious you were and your fight against cancer, and how we added a special shoutout for you in the Chach. You inspired everyone around you, and the world truly is missing out. I hope you're having a blast up there, babe.

Love, holly clark holly <clarkh@.org> euclid, oh usa - Thursday, October 26, 2006 2:00 PM CDT Dear Newbauer and Guy Families, I am so sorry to read of Jeff's passing. I have been impressed with Jeff's love of sports and strength of character. From the notes in this guest book, it is clear that Jeff left an impression on the lives of many and that Jeff will not be forgotten. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you all. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ I am Resurrection and I am life says the Lord. Whoever has faith in me shall have life, even thought he die. And everyone who has life, and has committed himself to me in faith, shall not die forever. As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives and that at the last he will stand upon the earth. After my waking, he will raise me up; and in my body I shall see God. I myself shall see, and my eyes behold him who is my friend and not a stranger. For none of us has life in himself, and none becomes his own master when he dies. For if we have life, we are alive in the lord, and if we die, we die in the Lord. So, then, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's possession. Happy from now on are those who die in the Lord! So it is, says the Spirit, for they rest from their labors. ~The Book of Common Prayer, Page 491 Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Thursday, October 26, 2006 1:46 PM CDT You have truly touched my heart. Rest in peace.

My family and I will hold your family in our daily thoughts and prayers. "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14.

Donna Smith <donna.smith@sbpa.com> Houston, TX US - Thursday, October 26, 2006 10:10 AM CDT Jeff has touched the lives of so many people...he will be remembered forever. With baseball being his favorite sport, I felt like this poem was perfect in remembering Jeff. Life is Like the Game of Baseball Life is like a game of baseball, You play it every day. It isn't just the breaks you get, But the kind of game you play. So stop and look your whole team over, And you'll find dedication there. You're bound to be a winner, With men who really care. Your pitcher's name is Courage, You need him in the game. For Faith and Trust your keystone men, The grounders they will tame. Your center fielder is very fast, Though small and hard to see. So watch him, son, when he gets the ball, His name: Opportunity. In left field there's Ambition, Never let him shirk. For in right field there's a husky man, I'm told his name is Work. At first base there's Religion, He's stood the test of time. At third base there's Brotherhood, The stalwart of the nine. Your catcher's name is Humor, He's important to the scheme. For with Honor warming in the bull pen, The game is always clean. The team combined With the love from the fans, Will give you strength And support your game plan The other team is strong, son, With strong infielders: Pessimism and Defeat, You'll have to hit a homerun To make your game complete. Weakness and a man called Sorrow, Are always playing hard. Giving Up and Resentment None can you disregard. Sickness and Despair, Are the big boys in the pen. You'll have to swing hard, son, When you come up to them. There's one more man you'll have to watch, He's always very near. He's the pitcher on that team, And I'm told his name is Fear. This game will not be easy, There'll be trouble, there'll be strife. To make the winning runs, my boy, Playing on this field of life. Your team has stood behind you, my boy, And you behind your team. The game is up to you now, No matter how scarey it may seem You have just hit The greatest homerun After struggling through the 9 The game you have won. The team and crowd have been touched, You played the PERFECT game, Your name will be remembered forever, In life’s Hall of Fame. When people mention you, Many will applaud. Remember you were the #1 player, And the umpire that day was God. Rebecca Putnam <rmp001@marietta.edu> Twinsburg, OH United States - Thursday, October 26, 2006 10:07 AM CDT Jeffery, Thank you so much for enriching our lives.

Kellie Davideit (Angel Ian's mom) <kelbri27@optonline.net> Metuchen, nj usa - Thursday, October 26, 2006 8:58 AM CDT To the Family of Jeffrey - There are no words that can express the sadness I feel for the loss of your son. At some time in our life we all take things for granted and feel sorry for ourselves. Your son had a terrible illness and chose to not lay down and feel sorry for himself - he fought like a soldier and touched so many lives - making us all realize how lucky we are and how short life can be. Jeff and Connie - you should be so very proud of Jeffrey and what he did. Now at peace and no longer suffering but the time he spent on this earth will be remembered for a long, long time. Take care, God Bless and hold tight to those memories. Auntie Lou Ann <louielouann@aol.com> Fort Wayne, IN usa - Thursday, October 26, 2006 8:57 AM CDT Dear Stu and Connie and family I am sorry to hear of Jeff's passing.

My heart aches for all of you. I am taking comfort in the fact that now all of our young angels who have gone before him now have a great friend and coach with them. He was an inspiration not only to many patients, but our staff. He showed us all how to give meaning to life even as it was being taken away. He continued giving and encouraging others, even when he was not well. I was always amazed watching him wander through the infusion area looking to befriend other kids getting chemo, almost like he was hosting a party and greeting everyone! He was a special young man I will never forget, and feel honored to have known him. Thank you all for raising such a wonderful person and sharing him with us.

Even though his life was cut short he lived his life to the fullest..............something that we all need to learn from. Connie, I can't imagine how you feel, but if you ever need to talk, I am here. Jeff was a very strong man, he fought a long and very hard battle, he suffered more than any one person should have to suffer but he is at peace now and he will be watching over you, he will help you get through the pain........the unbearable pain, that no parent should ever have to feel. He loved you deeply and cherished your mother/son bond. He will never leave you, he will always be with you......keep talking to him, let him know how you feel.........his presents will remain and the love between the two of you will never stop.

You are truly an icon to all in need of a little inspiration and I will remember your pregame talk to those young men at Twinsburg's football game last Friday, forever. I'm so glad I picked you for my baseball team back when you first moved to Twinsburg because not only did we gain a fiesty little catcher, I gained another son. I will always hold dear our times together on vacation with my family, when you and Jeremy used to tear the house apart while imitating the WWF wrestlers and basically, anytime you came around or stayed at the house. As I watched you grow up I was so proud of the polite young gentleman that you had become and I knew that your family had much to do with that. You will always be an example of class, determination and spirit to the countless people you have touched through your youth and as a man. I love you young man and I will carry you with me forever.

Surace <Mjsjfk78@aol.com> Twinsburg, OH U.S. - Wednesday, October 25, 2006 7:02 PM CDT Jeff, I have coached baseball and soccer for over 25 years now. Many times parents and players have come up to me and thanked me for helping and supporting them during the season. I never really understood the impact I made until I saw the impact that you made on my son Bradley as you coached the Seventh Grade football team . Because of you, EVERY DAY he would come home excited with a new-found zeal for the great game of football with a story about how Coach Newbe helped him, or gave him some tips, or instructed him in the proper stance and blocking techniques. He was equally disappointed when you were not at practice, usually due to getting treatments. He worried about you constantly. He even came home one evening and asked if we could shave his head in honor of you. And of course, your reply upon seeing him was "Nice haircut" !!!!! Jeff, you can count on the fact that you have truely touched and influenced my son in a way few people can. It is a rare gift. And I know that my Bradley is and will forever be a better person for meeting you. Peace be with you and your family. I am looking forward to the day that I can shake your hand.

Traci Barnett Twinsburg, OH Summit - Tuesday, October 24, 2006 6:36 PM CDT Jeff I've never had the pleasure of meeting you but know of you through a mutual friend of mine Lisa Viront at Ohio Health Choice a dear coworker and friend of your Dad's. I've meet your Dad only on one occassion and at the time would never known of the personal heartache he was going through at that time. Jeff, it's easy to see where you get your strength and courage. I have had you and your family in my prayers ever since I have learned about your battle. Like your Dad said in an interview that I watched " Jeff (You) can teach a lot about life and ourselves" I was intrigued by your love and spiritual connection to baseball and the magic of a ball park. I think I know how you feel. The past few years I have found great comfort at the baseball park...locally our AAA team is the "Toledo Mud Hens" a farm team for the Detroit Tigers. I don't know who you are rooting for in the World series but I am a "True Blue Tiger fan...I've been to Comerica Park quite a few times, but I actually attended my very first ALCS on October 7th when the Tigers beat the Yankees. It was a moving and spiritual experience for me...My late father was a huge Tiger fan ever since I can remember and up until his last days, he insisted on having the Tiger game on TV. He loved sports but there was something definitely special about baseball that kept him alive...Today I keep his tradition going...When I go to a Mud Hen's or Tiger's game, I wear his favorite Detriot cap and I know in my heart he is sitting right next to me rooting them on. God bless you!

Colleen Lodwick <clodwick@kent.edu> Walton Hills, OH - Tuesday, October 24, 2006 10:53 AM CDT Jeff-Although we have never met you personally, we feel like we are good friends. Tyler and I have been following your travels across the U.S. and he was excited to see that you made it to San Francisco as we too visited the Giants this summer. Maybe we identify with you so much, as Tyler has gotten us heavily into sports and we are now junkies of just about every sport imaginable. We've also taken to visiting ballparks in every city we visit. So with that being said, we are going to continue your Cancer Sucks ballpark tour. Everytime we visit a new stadium we are going to make a donation to your preferred childrens' cancer charity in your honor. This coming summer we will be going to Boston to see the Red Sox, hopefully Tampa to see the Devil Rays and who knows what else we might squeeze in. Maybe we can challenge your other sports obsessed fans to do the same. As you have found out, when people come together for a righteous cause wonderful things can happen!!!!!! Your in our thoughts and prayers! Fondly, Gail, Paul and Tyler Metcalfe P.S. Tyler is the one who donated some of his birthday money for your Ballpark tour and gave you the signed Cavs basketball. He was disappointed that you couldn't make it to the World Series, but wants to know if you are watching it on tv.

I pray for you, as a mother, I cannot imagine your pain.....I am sorry. As a mother I wished I could take a piece of your pain as I am sure it is most unbearable.

I certainly will pray for you and for Jeff. I am, however, very glad to read that fifteen of Jeff's friends came to your house to watch a game with Jeff. Yes, Jeff is very rich in friends, which is one of the best kinds of wealth. I notice in the picture of Jeff, in his suit, a church pavement candle. That suggests that Jeff is also rich in faith. Lean on your church and your Christian friends during this time of suffering and uncertainty. If at all possible, have your clergy come to your home often to bring Jeff communion. God bless you both, and God bless all of Jeff's other loved ones and friends. This is not an easy time for anyone, but God is with all of you. Grace, peace, love, and all good, ~Colette~ Psalm 16: 5-11, The Book of Common Prayer, Page 600 5. O LORD, YOU are my portion and my cup; * it is you who uphold my lot. 6. My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; * indeed, I have a goodly heritage. 7. I will bless the LORD who gives me counsel; * my heart teaches me, night after night. 8. I have set the LORD always before me; * because he is at my right hand I shall not fall. 9. My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; * my body also shall rest in hope. 10. For you will not abandon me to the grave, * nor let your holy one see the Pit. 11. You will show me the path of life; * in your presence there is fullness of joy, and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore. Gratefully. Faithfully. Peacefully.

Tara <TaraMHeld@gmail.com> - Tuesday, September 5, 2006 9:52 PM CDT Dear Connie and Jeff, I am returning to wish you both well as the first week of September continues. I noticed Jeff's birth year, 1983, and I thought, that's the same year as my older son, but I caught myself. He was adopted from Central America, in 1983, not born that year. However, in another sense, he was born that year, as he received a new name, a new home, and a new family. Jeff, may you, through your own determination, your mother's love, prayers of family, friends, and strangers, good medical care, and God's grace, receive your life again, just as a poor, sick little boy, from a third world country, received his life anew, so long ago. Keep enjoying baseball. God bless you both. Grace and peace, ~Colette~ Colette Clifton Park, NY U.S.A. - Tuesday, September 5, 2006 9:34 PM CDT Hey Jeff, It's been a while, but I wanted to let you know that I read the journal periodically to see how you're doing.

God Bless Susan Clancy San Ramon, CA Contra Costa - Monday, September 4, 2006 12:10 AM CDT Dear Connie and Jeff, I am here from Jason Archer's website. I have been signing guest books, mostly in Tennessee, for about three years. One of my first was for Connor Hunley, of Goodlettsville, who also had Rhabdo. I am very sorry to learn that Jeff has Rhabdo. I pray regularly for improvements in the treatment of all people with childhood and adolescent cancer and for cures. I am a baseball fan, so I think it is wonderful that Jeff is visiting major league baseball parks. I hope he has a really great time in Texas, seeing the Rangers and the Astros play. I will save this site address, so I can return. God bless you both.

Nancy - Miles' Mom nancy levin <nanc11@comcast.net> bloomfield hills, mi usa - Monday, August 14, 2006 12:41 AM CDT Hi Jeff and Connie, Sounds like things are going well. When are you coming to NY to see the Yankees or Mets, we would love to see you again? Mike is doing great, this week he is down the shore with 8 or more friends at the beach house they rented. He hasn't had chemo in 3 weeks so I'm nervous-he's not. He went to a party last week and had about 10 beers and his platelets went up 50 points (Is this a new cure for low platelets?)Of course we didn't tell his doctor. His counts should be off the charts after this week. I pray every day that the new chemo works for your sake and all Rhabdo kids. Hope to see you again soon, Pat Billington Pat Billington <pat_billington@yahoo.com> Hackettstown, NJ USA - Monday, August 14, 2006 12:20 AM CDT So often when words are hard to find when praying, it helps to turn to the Psalms and pray the words found there.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is a diagnosis I understand. Though mine was an Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma, that 1983 diagnosis when I was a teenager in high school was one which did not have any clear-cut statistics. The numbers just weren't there and readily available to draw from like they are today. The diagnosis then was compared and paralleled to the Ewing Sarcoma, the cousin tumor which affected the bones. I understand what you are each experiencing on all different levels of anxieties. Timing is everything knowing when to laugh, be serious, vent, take a "time out" or just chill and sort through everything and take it all in. My diagnosis was just a few months shy of my high school 1983 graduation. Yup...41 years old now. :) I was diagnosed on the 14th floor of Sloan-Kettering [bone floor] in New York, but after the diagnosis I was admitted when necessary on the 5th floor [Pediatrics] since Rhabdomyosarcoma was considered a pediatric diagnosis. All of my chemotherapy treatments were on the 5th floor Pediatric Day Hospital. My treatments began in April 1983 and were completed January 1984 with the "big" treatment taking place every 3 weeks with smaller intravenous chemotherapy injections in between. My chemotherapy consisted of Cytoxan, Adriamyacin, Vincristine and low dose Methotrexate. I believe some of those chemotherapy drugs have been updated and renamed. My tumor was below my left knee on the outside of the leg. I had surgery just shy of halfway through chemotherapy. It was scheduled for just over an hour and it turned into over 4 hours. The tumor had engulfed more than the xrays and scans revealed. The tumor was removed with the fibula [small bone from knee to ankle] and the muscle "cartridge" the tumor had wrapped around. Unexpectedly, the tumor had also wrapped around 2 of the 3 leg arteries so they were removed along with some of the muscle cartridges above and below the primary site. The primary muscular site the tumor had grown on was the muscle cartridge which enables a person to move the foot. After surgery all that remained was the larger lower leg bone, one artery [the smallest] and my foot which could no longer be moved. That unexpected extra 3 hours of surgery resulted in my hospital stay being a month long. The small remaining artery made the healing process slow and the 50+ plus leg staples from surgery didn't help the matter much either. The big obstacle was getting back on my feet after the healing process and chemotherapy completed. Accepted to college for Fall of 1983, college agreed to defer my acceptance to the following Fall of 1984 due to my circumstances. Chemotherapy ended January 1984 and managed to get rid of the crutches after 49 weeks one month later, but due to not walking for so long physcial therapy endured for most of that summer to get my foot/ankle to 90 degrees. Due to gravity it had "dropped" and I was walking on the ball of the foot, but was making compensation for it. The physical therapy did its job, but gravity can't be fought no matter what when there aren't any muscles left in a human leg to keep the foot mobile. Over time the foot dropped again, but that didnt stop [finally] going off to college with no restrictions. Making compensations for my walking I returned to swimming, volleyball and tennis and was doing anything I wanted until.... ...Spring Break sophomore year when I came home for a check up. To my surprise [visible to the naked eye] there were stress fractures on the xray from the ankle fractured all the way up to my knee. The decisions were all surgery which meant pulling out of college with at least a year to recover. Doing nothing was also an option, but look where it got me. The main goal was to get my ankle fused at 90 degrees, but amputation loomed during surgery, or during recovery, or after discharge, or at some point because no one could guarantee if that smallest remaining artery could withstand and recover from surgery. Its collapse was unknown and definite issues would arise with circulation as I would reach my senior years, if not before. To avoid an impending second surgery [and chronic problems] I elected to amputate below the knee, walked out of the hospital 5 days later with my new temporary leg, and haven't looked back since. I had had enough and it was time to move on. I graduated college in 1988 and left New York in 1993 for the relaxed life style of the South. Having an attraction to NASCAR certainly helped. :) That is my story in a nutshell with lots of other highs and lows left out. I know what you are going through and I understand it all. You've got a friend here for life and one who knows because I have walked down a similar path. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars. God Bless you All and I hope to hear from you soon. Paul Greensboro, NC USA - Saturday, July 8, 2006 9:48 AM CDT HI Jeff! Just checked in and it sounds like you had a great vacation!

We took your advise and went to Margaritaville, you're right it was awesome (Mike bought a hat to match yours.) If you're ever in NJ you better come see us, and we are trying to get to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so we'll all meet again there. This week Mike is feeling "crappy" he started Irinotecan (inside chemo joke) but they are giving him great drugs so he's basically sleeping through it all. Hope your second week was as great as your first in Myrtle Beach.

Please don't give up. God gets to write the last chapter, not mans statistics. You can go down in the history books to change whatever man has put down in books about this cancer. My Robert, also has relapsed: www.caringbridge.org/ca/robertdunseath and is fighting just like you. As Lance Armstrong says LIVESTRONG! Sometimes, Robert has said its hard to live up to everybodies "you look great" therefore you have to act too. Its also ok to tell people you are having a bad day too! I told him its ok not to act like everything is always ok. There is more power in the truth, and this way people will know how to pray. PRAYER works! Have you ever picked up the phone and talked to another guy who has the same diagnosis? Robert would love to talk to you, and I know you guys could encourage each other! Keep strong, look to good nutrition! This is the most important thing for your body right now since it could use the edge from what chemo does to it. It will also help spirtiually and emotionaly, when you feel like you can fight anything! You and your family are a blessing to us, to follow your treatment and care and your ups and your downs, we know how to pray! Thanks Jeff and family. If you get a chance to pick up a book about Lance Armstrong, read his book "Its not about the bike My journey back to life " great book so far, I haven't finished it but it talks about his journey thru cancer, and how he was given almost no time to live and how he came back against all odds and here he is today! Truly inspirational, Jeff a must read for you and Robert! Or any family going thru relapse and cancer. Jeff, don't give up from these bumps in the road cause God gets to write the last chapter! God bless you! Linda Robert's mom Linda Kessler <juicepluswithus@yahoo.com > West Sacramento, Ca USA - Sunday, May 21, 2006 9:48 AM CDT Jeff, Hey stranger. I am actually at a loss for words. I don't think I knew the severity of what was going on until I saw this site.Every time I see you it is usually just in passing but you always seem to be happy and upbeat. Life passes by so fast and it makes us realize we should take the time to really ask, " How are you," mean it, and listen for a response. I know we were never really close, but never the less, I want you to know that I look to you for inspiration. To deal with what you have to deal with and to do it with a strong smile is amazing.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this again. We know firsthand how discouraging this is because our son relapsed in December with Neuroblastoma. Cancer is a hard thing, but it's NOTHING against our MIGHTY GOD!  I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know we came by and to tell you that we'll be praying for you. I always leave our new friends with a Bible verse that has come to mean so much to me as I've prayed for Brent. It comes from Ephesians 3:20 and it basically says ......... HE IS ABLE to do IMMEASURABLY MORE than ALL we can ASK or IMAGINE! I just LOVE IT!! I pray you'll have some GREAT days ahead and that the nasty chemo won't get you down.Hang in there Bud! Connie, You mentioned trying some alternative treatments ....... Neuroblastoma is a REALLY HARD one to beat. Our odds were TERRIBLE the first time and even worse the second time around. We are trusting God for healing, but at the same time we're trying supplements and juicing as well. My sister-in-law (a very smart lady) told me that carrots are a VERY GOOD form of vitamin A, which is also one of the forms of "manufactured treatment" that he's getting right now. We're also giving him something callled "PawPaw." You can read up on it online. We've also read a lot on cancertutor.com about how to get your body alkaline. (We're also doing an alkaline diet) I don't know how things would've worked out anyway ...... but after Brent (he's 10) relapsed, we did 3 rounds of some VERY HARSH chemo and what was already there responded well, but he had a new spot to show up in his spine. I said all of that to say that after that we started the juicing, supplements, and the "alkaline diet" and the last scan showed that the tumor was dying from within. I don't know if it's God alone, the treatment, or the extra stuff we're trying but we're THRILLED to have some good news! If you'd like to talk about any of this feel free to email me. I'm sure you'll get lots of ideas as to what to do from lots of folks whether you want it or not. I guess what I'm saying is the ball is now in your court ... if you don't respond with interest I won't bug you again. (HE HE) I'll just check in here and see how ya'll are doing and how I can better pray for Jeff. I know how hard it is on Mama to watch her baby so I'll pray for you, and the rest of your family as well as Jeff. (It doesn't matter how old they are or what birth order .... they are ALWAYS our babes ... RIGHT?) Sorry for leaving you a book! ( HE HE!) I'll just leave "little notes" in the future to let you know we stopped by.  Take care and please feel free to contact me if you are interested in any of the stuff we're doing.

When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me. Yes, when you seek me with all your heart, you will find me with you, says the LORD, and I will change your lot; I will gather you together from all the nations and all the places to which I have banished you, says the LORD, and bring you back to the place from which I have exiled you." ~Jeremiah 29, 11-14 May the Lord be with you and your family always Jeff.

Congratulations on your clear scans, I know exactly how that feels! You live from scan to scan right! I am a music teacher in Solon and work with Joy Cardinale, Erin's mom. I actually just had to leave school for the rest of the year because my cancer is back. I was originally diagnosed with stage 4 tongue cancer in November of 2004, had 3 tongue surgeries and radiation when I found out it moved to my neck. I then did chemo and neck surgery. This past September I found out it had spread to my lung. I had surgery and then 3 clear scans. Last week I found out it is back in my lung and also in the wall of my chest. Next week I have surgery to remove 1/2 of my lung and 2 ribs. I am really optimistic that this will finally be the last thing! This has really come full circle for me, Joy told me about you and then when I looked at your pictures I remember that football picture from my radiation floor. I did radiation at the Cleveland Clinic in T28 with Mary and Gina (who I LOVED) as my main radiation techs. Did you have them? I remember looking at your picture on the bulletin board all of the time because you seemed to be about the same age as I am. I just turned 24 on Tuesday. Good luck with everything and I will definitely keep checking your website to keep track of MANY more clean scans to come. Feel free to email me. Also, if you are still around Cleveland there is the Gathering Place in Beachwood that has a young adult support group that is great. It is SO uplifting and we definitely don't talk about cancer the whole time. Let me know if you are interested in more information! Take care, Becca Becca Reichert <beccareichert@yahoo.com> Mentor, OH USA - Saturday, March 25, 2006 5:39 PM CST jeff, give me a big WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats great clear scans:-)im so happy for you :-) please know im thinking of you an your family :-) Jay Angel wings <lovebabysnugles@yahoo.com> bluffton, IN; - Thursday, March 23, 2006 8:45 AM CST  Praying for you all...Congrads on CLEAR SCANS!

Abraham Lincoln claimed that reading the Bible was "the best cure for the blues". Here are a couple of verses that we think might help if you ever get the blues. "God is our refuge and strength, a ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear..." Psalm 45:1-2 This is my favorite. "Call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me." Psalm 50:15 We will pray... You kick cancer butt! Ramzy.

Love you Amy Pie <apiechowiak05@jcu.edu> - Saturday, July 16, 2005 0:02 AM CDT Hi Jeff!!!!! I just talked to your uncle Valentino last night and you guys are all set for the golf outing! My family is so looking forward to seeing you! Stuff sucks right now - I know that. There is nothing you can do but just get through each day. Traci used to get out of bed and look at herself in the mirror and say - "Today, I don't have cancer" and do her best to live that day just like anybody else. It worked too! She always called those days her little gifts from God. Try orange sherbert for the nausea and when you are laying in bed or on the couch - keep one foot on the floor if you can. Give your mom a big fat kiss for me! Keep the faith my friend! Kimberly Santacesaria <hoping4acure@adelphia.net> Twinsburg, OH USA - Thursday, July 14, 2005 9:15 AM CDT Your post was a perfect example of how the young adults with cancer don't fit into any system. Too old for children and too young for adult hospitals. I imagine that Jeff will get the best care where he is now. Glad you all are home and can enjoy a few days of rest. Trica, mom 2 Caitlin www.caringbridge.org/oh/cait <tric66@sssnet.com> Massillon, OH USA - Tuesday, July 12, 2005 5:09 PM CDT Jeff, We continue to keep you in our prayers.

I just wanted to let you know that you are constantly in my thoughts and in my prayers.

Jamie Patterson <jamiep1017@netscape.com > Twinsburg, OH USA - Saturday, June 18, 2005 10:00 PM CDT Jeff and Connie, Thanks for signing my Caitlin's guestbook which lead me to you. Loved the general entry about the "cancer sucks" shirt! Caitlin has one and it has always been a source of comments when she wears it. We gave one to a friend that is battling a brain tumor last fall, in turn his whole family bought them and that was their xmas card photo! Only those of us that live in Cancerland know exactly how much it really does suck too. I read through the past year in your journal. Sounds like things were going great until this last set of scans. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that this chemo kills the new tumors. I appreciate Jeff's attitude about bringing out the big guns! I'll add you to my list of all the kids/young adults I check on. We aren't too far south of you all, maybe we can get together one of these days. Sending you lots of postive energy! The fight may be long,but the spirit is strong!

I know it is easier said then done, but just remember that there are alot of us keeping that faith for you. I can't wait to hear the funny story that you have to tell us. When you are feeling up to it and want to jump in the pool just give us a call. The invitation goes for you and your family too. Mary Papa <Thecoool111@yahoo.com> Twinsburg, Oh - Thursday, June 16, 2005 9:02 PM CDT Alex - (yes, Alex....) I believe that siblings are God's special gift...they are our champions, our best friends, our life time soul mates. I had rarely (maybe never) seen a bond that even closely resembled that of the bond between my sisters and I until I met you and Jeff. It is not often you find a cancer patient that spends all of their time and energy making those around them feel better about what they themselves are suffering and Jeff is one of those wonderful souls. Thank you both for being a part of Relay and for being an inspiration to everyone around you! Kimberly Santacesaria <hoping4acure@adelphia.net> Twinsburg, OH USA - Thursday, June 16, 2005 8:46 PM CDT Jeff and Connie, I have visited your site several times and thought it was time to say hello.

Joanne Schaus <jschaus@adelphia.net> Twinsburg, Ohio - Monday, June 13, 2005 8:34 PM CDT Jeff, I heard that the relay was a success, great job! I completed the wonderful moving process this weekend. Now I am looking forward to the unpacking process. Who would of thought that going to college would give you a lot of practice. I celebrated the move with 10 friends at the Quiet Woman Bar in Corona Del Mar (next to Newport Beach.) There I learned the term "Cougar Hunting." The cougars are the old Newport woman looking for a man to take care of them. The crowd had to be worth over $200,000 - everyone had breast implants, face lifts and botox injections. Amazing people watching - come to California "we'll fix you up." Nicole McCrady <n_mccrady@hotmail.com> Huntington Beach, CA USA - Monday, June 13, 2005 10:20 AM CDT Jeff, I know this note will find you in good spirit. You are really an amazing person with the way you have handled all of this and the way you stay so up-beat. I know I have said this before, but you are a hero to many. Your outlook on life is unbelievable. So many people with such simple problems in life could really learn from you. You remain so positive no matter what you have to go through. God sent you to this earth for a reason. You have taught us all a leason on how to appreciate life. We all hope that you stay strong and get healthy. You and your family are always in my prayers and thoughts. Audrey Walker Chesterland, OH - Sunday, June 12, 2005 10:29 AM CDT I have been thinking and praying for Jeff.

Please know that we survivors are all pulling for you. Keep that PMA (Postive Mental Attitude) and a desire to return to what you love (before the CaCa). I know too many people having this terrible disease and many who are working on curing it too. I am a 30 yrs. survivor and have learned to be more positive. If I'm around too many people with negative attitudes (stinkin' thinkin') I have to get away from them. You too will overcome this little obstacle one again and be flying high. If you ever want to chat my email is attached. Tell your parents to hang in there too because they do feel your pain but feel unable to do anything to really make you better as they did when you were small with an aspirin or something. We expect you to be in the Survivor Club and help others when you are well. We all are in your court and praying for a quick recovery.

I can't believe that I have been good friends with Kelly for so long but we just met. Our times together have been a blast. With everything going on it is wonderful that you are so positive.

Love, Dad, Lori, Ross, Cole & Sophee xoxoxoxoxo Your CF Home Team <lori@newbs.com> - Monday, June 21, 2004 10:42 PM CDT Hey Buttercup Its your new buddy jamie. Unlike kelly i dont express my feelings well in wrighting or talking or thyping because this has taken me five minutes to type so far. I am sure we had met or talked in school but it is one of those uneventful things that you dont remember. I always knew who you were and you knew who i was, but back then i never knew what an awesome and optomistic person you are. I remember when you were in the hospital and kelly dragged me to see you, litterally i dont do well with crouds or strangers but i went to make kelly happy. I guess that was the begining of the friendship we have aquired, one that makes me all warm and gooshie inside. I guess what i am trying to say is Jeff Will You Marry Me? Sorry wrong question will you be in my wedding? Me and kelly would be honored to have you stand at the end of my line(because all the others are taken)As long as you tone down the dashing goodlooks so i get some attention jamie shortridge <js1837@adelphia.net> t-burg WOOOOWOOOO, oh austrailia - Monday, June 21, 2004 10:10 PM CDT Hey Jeffi! (thats dotted with a heart!) I know Im lucky enough to get to see you every day. But I wanted to let you know just how much I love you. Im not usually the type of person to sit and tell my feelings through talking, im much better at writing them. Jeff you are my very best friend, you have changed me and my life in ways that you could never understand. You inspire me daily, hourly, on the minute. And I thank you for that, thank you for the being the person you are! Like you always say, this isnt anything you havnt done before and I know without a doubt your gonna kick its butt again! I love you Jeff! Kelly <kelly1837@adelphia.net> Twinsburg, OH 44087 - Monday, June 21, 2004 8:29 AM CDT Hi Jeff, it's Tyna, the paycheck lady from Carlson Library. Joyce shared your website with me and I just had to send a message right away. I've read all your mother's postings and will continue to do so to keep up on your progress. I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer and the power of God. I'll be sending Him my prayers for you and I will be adding your name to my prayer group.

Joyce Sorgenfrei <jsorgen@utnet.utoledo.edu> Toledo, OH USA - Tuesday, May 11, 2004 8:00 AM CDT Hi Jeffrey, Cathy, from UT gave me your name as we met though Victory Center Support Group here in Toledo about 4 years ago and we still keep in touch and if you know Cathy, that is so easy to do but anyways I lifted your name up to God because I have been taught that when someone's name come across your life, you are to lift them up to God whether you personally know them or not but since our worlds have touched, I did what I am suppose to do. I pray that you are doing better and that your positive spirits will keep your hope alive in this journey of life, all we have is right now and plans for tomorrow. I lost my mom to bone cancer two days before Christmas, 2003 but I have wonderful memories of her and I dream of her often. I was blessed to have her for 68 years.

Please know that members of the Zetts family and members of the Slavik family whom I am a part of, are praying for your healing. With your Aunt Lucy's permission, I have included you on our own family website and have been following your progress. We have been blessed with many miracle healings and the most recent one was for Veronica (18), my granddaughter who had an AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation which is an abnormal cluster of veins) that was situated in a critical area in her brain. "Had" because in July this AVM was surgically removed. Your Aunt Lucy knows the whole story and will share it with you if you are interested.
