Dear B's:
Our thoughts are with you today and every day. We know you are enjoying time with the Kukers and Buzynski families. We said a special prayer for each of you today and your angel, Bethany! By the way, I "heard" there was a great Christmas in Heaven this year with all of our loved ones! Have a safe trip back to FL and bring in 2008 with a bang.

Love Ya'

May you enjoy every minute with your friends and family in that cold weather!! We actually just had a big hail storm blow thru here. The yard was covered with little balls of hail!! Be safe and know we love you all...Patti, jessie and Tanner xoxo

We miss you all very much, and Lori, Gary and I miss those homemade cookies you always sent home with Allison, but Jan and Ed delivered a nice selection of homemade cookies for all of us!! We think of you all so often, and continue to pray for healing. Travel safely and have a wonderful Christmas with your family! Please let us know Pete's mailing address and/or email when he deploys.

Somewhere across the winter world tonight
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance...something we can share.

You will be singing, just the same as I
These familiar songs we now so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.

I shall remember you and trim my tree,
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see --
Tonight I glimpse beyond the hear and now.

And all the time that we must be apart
I keep a candle in my heart.

Hey Buzynski's-

Snowed 5+ inches here in Fairfield today so we hope you are enjoying that Florida sunshine! Brion helped me shovel the drive when I got home from work today and he said "I guess I should help now since in a month I will be off at college again"! He has been mentioning that quite a bit lately - think he is going to miss us. I know we will miss him that's for sure. Kevin and Katie are doing well - Katie got braces a few weeks back and has taken that with her usual positive outlook. Kevin, Travis and a bunch of the "boys" are working at Liberty this season (in the tubing park)that should be interesting. We miss you all and think of you each and every day. Warm wishes and huge hugs to all of you from all of us!

Love, Brion, Mary and gang

Dear Buzynski's
Br-r-r, the weather has turned cold and windy. Could you send some FL sunshine our way? Can't help but think of all of you every day. Last year at this time you were preparing to make the trip to PA with BKB. It hardly seems possible. Even though the reason for your trip was a difficult one; we certainly tresured every moment with you and your families and friends. Be safe on your trip to Iowa for the holidays and hug one another!

Love,

Hi Buzynski Bunch,

I've been thinking of all of you, and Bethany a lot the last couple weeks. Her name was read at all Saints Day in church a few weeks ago, and has really gotten me thinking of her a lot lately. We were even talking about her at a family gathering last night. We continue to keep all of you in our prayers and look forward to the next time we can see you all again!

Tell Blake "way to go!" for his team winning 1st place in soccer.

All our love,

Thank you so much for continuing to update us on the happenings of the Buzynski family!! I am glad to hear you all are doing well and looking forward to the holiday season. I have a lot to be thankful for and thank you for reminding me of that. I continue to think of you and pray for you. I would love to hear from you! Love, Chris

Dear Lori,
Your strength and faith are so inspiring - no one can read your words without being touched. Perhaps God is trying to tell you something by bringing you infants to care for. You are great with kids of any age (like a "baby-whisperer"). Just wanted to let you know how moved I am reading your journal and that you and your family continue to be in my prayers. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and God Bless - Shannon

Dear Lori, Pete, and family,
What you are doing with this website and your entries is so amazing. I read your entries and I pray for you each week. You are so right. Our God is awesome and He holds us and guides us and gives us comfort every day. I am so very,very glad that your faith has helped you through this time. I can't imagine getting through this without knowing that you are loved and that God has your baby girl with him and His Son. I am so very proud of how you witness your Christian faith to friends and family. I listen to Natalie Grant's song "Held" and I think of you and other families who have lost a child or are hurting, no matter what their circumstances, and I hope that they feel God's presence and know that they are "held".(Download the song if you don't know it. I know you will you feel the comfort I do each time I hear it.) I am thankful this holiday season that you are witnessing to so many. I know your Bethany would be so proud. I am so proud to know you.

Dear Buzynskis
Cannot believe today is the first of November. We had our usual rush of trick-o-treaters -- a total of 2 -- last night (LOL). So glad the Creviers brought the girls by to give us a taste of Halloween! So glad to hear you have a little one for a little while in your loving daycare! More will come your way, I'm sure. Think of all of you every day and miss you lots. Take care and hug each other.

Good Morning Pete, Lori and Blake ( and Aarika too). I enjoyed hanging out in the driveway last night handing out candy. The boys seemed to have fun being scary goblins gathering their goodies. Lori, good luck if you get to keep the little guy longer than a few days!! They need you as much as you need them..Hugs to all of you. We love you guys so much. I thank God everyday for Him placing you across the street from me. What a blessing!! Love, Patti and Tanner

Greetings from Fairfield PA. All is well here with fall finally arriving the past few days. You are all close to our thoughts and in our hearts every day and we miss seeing all of you! As I write this we are getting the usual telemarketers calling (early evening) and Kevin is amusing both of us by answering and talking to them in these truly absurd voices. We are all getting ready for the final game of the football season on Saturday and hope the guy's enjoy some success - they have worked hard and deserve it. The HS Boys Soccer team went 20-3 for the season. They were a pure joy to watch as they really clicked as a team. We will stay in touch - take special care and give a hug to Aarika and Blake from all of us.

Dear Buzynski's,
I think of Bethany often and remember her sweet smile and laughter. She was always independent and upbeat. I remember the day she sat in my office at Niceville High School and basically witnessed to me about her faith. What a sweet, sweet little girl I thought. I wondered how she could smile and laugh, going through what she was going through. I always think of her when things do not go the way I want them to and I am feeling selfish. What a great little Angel Bethany is. Sometimes I use Bethany as a great example of the type of person we should all try to be.

We're only put though as much as we can handle-
therefore, the people who struggle the most
are the ones who have been chosen by God to end
up being the strongest in the end.

I found this quote and IMMIDIATELY thought of you all.
I continue to pray every single day for you all and
always ask bethany to keep watching over us, even though
i know she will forever without fail :)

thanks for the never ending inspiration!

Hello Buzynski's bunch!!
Glad to hear that everything is going well in Florida. Just as the Pecks' say it seem like yesterday you were moving into Fairfield, it seems like yesterday that you lived out here in Vegas. We all certainly miss our late night card games and camping trips. I cannot believe that you don't have any kids yet Lori. I will certainly pay you a high premium to come live here and watch my three boys. It would be worth the price. Any one will be lucky to have you take care of their children. Sorry to hear about Pete and Iraq. We will be sending lots of prayers your way during that time. Not an easy thing to do.
Glad to hear Aarika and Blake are keeping busy. We love and miss you all.
Take care...

Good Morning Lori, Pete and Kids,

Thanks for continuing to share your journey with us! Even with the tremendous activities of school in the Fall (or should I say late summer) Bethany and you all have a permanent place in our hearts and conversations! Aaron continues to stay very focused on football and the good news is he is still healthy! He is the QB for varsity - only 2 more games to go! He is beginning to think about life after high school and is involved with law enforcement through tech prep and will be taking the military entrance exam (ASVAB) today (Monday).

Hello Buzynskis:
Gosh, at times it seems like only yesterday that you moved to your home in Fairfield and then it times it seems like it was so long ago. I can remember Blake trying to shoot hoops and he was such a little guy who could hardly throw the ball high enough. Now he is in band and into sports and growing up too fast. Then there was our Bethany who always kept us smiling and our spirits are still lifted when we think of her. The wonderful gifts she left for all of us -- gifts of knowing how to be courageous and strong and loving. Aarika has accomplished a lot by being the older sister and has many things ahead that she will excel in and continue to make everyone stand up and pay attention. All of them and you give all of us reasons to smile and know that every day is a good day and one that needs to be lived to its fullest. Sending long distance hugs to all of you!!!

Dear Buzynski Bunch:
Here it is October and the weather during the day continues to be more like summer. The sunshine (BKB rays) continue with us! Every day we look over to "your" home here in Fairfield and just wish you were still there. We miss all of you so much -- the neighborhood will never be the same! The school is preparing for homecoming this weekend and we think of that beautiful picture of Bethany riding the convertible and smiling for the world to see her courage when she was part of Fairfield's homecoming. Forever and always we will be by your side and hold you in our hearts and in our thoughts and in our prayers.

Love Ya'

Hello Buzynski's!

Wow, the summer has come and gone and everyone is back into the school routine...including me. We felt the sunny rays of Bethany while in Hawaii and I saw a double rainbow in Maui that brought a smile to my face and warmth in my heart...for it reminded me of your precious daughter, Bethany.

I have just spent the past few moments reading your journal entries and once again am completely touched. It is so hard to contemplate another's situation. I feel as though I am so very busy with my two little ones, but have just been shown again how rewarding and cherished the endless amount of time that I spend with them truly is.

It sounds as though Blake and Aarika are so full of energy and I'm sure that some of it comes from their big and little sis up there shining on them. I still can't believe that Aarika is in college!

Good luck to you Lori while you restart your career as a child care provider. You have many little hearts that are just going to fall in love with you!

Good Luck to you Pete while you take on another challenge of going to Iraq.

May God keep you all in His loving care!

Take Care,
The Forneys :)

We continue to pray for your family daily!

Hello Buzynski's,
It is really hard to believe that 6 months has gone by. We pray for your family daily. It's good to hear that you are such a "buzy" bunch. As soccer has consumed our lives, which we all love, we're glad to hear that Blake enjoys it as well. "Fairfield Sport Enthusiasts" will always hold soccer as "our sport".
Aarika sounds like she's doing terrific in school. College truly gives each of us a time to grow up, and as she matures into the person she is destined to become, you'll look back on these days fondly.
We will keep Pete in our prayers as he travels and you to maintain the strength on the homefront. You're all a continued inspiration to us.
PS. We'd love to come and visit during the cold months...whether we can is altogether a different story.
May God always keep watch over your family with all of his "special angels".

With love always,
The Brown Family

Hinckley, MN - Sunday, September 30, 2007 4:44 PM CDT

Lori, Pete, Blake and Aarika,
Just wanted to let you know that we still think of you each and every day. I pray for you each morning and wanted to pass on one thing that happened last March. Usually each morning as I pray I offer up a prayer for those children who have lost a parent in Iraq or Afghanistan. I always ask God to provide an angel to watch over them as they grow with out their mother or father to guide and love them. Shortly after Bethany got her wings I received a BFO (Blinding Flash of the Obvious) when it occured to me that I knew who that angel was - Bethany. Being able to connect her - a real angel with the children I was praying for makes me feel like they are being well looked after - once again Bethany is strengthening my faith! All is well here in Fairfield - many BKB ribbons on windows and cars/trucks and tonight we have a beautiful night for a football game. Kevin has been injured and will start for the first time tonight. I know that he will be thinking of Bethany as the game begins and that when he does well he will feel in his heart that she is smiling down at him. I hope no one was hurt at Aarika's college as the Sorority sisters fought over which sorority was going to get her - she will surely add so much to whichever one it is. Love to all of you from all of us. Pipenfest this weekend and you will be in our hearts and thoughts. Brion (Dad)

My fourth grade students said a prayer for Bethany this weekend at Sunday School. I think of her a lot at church...each time I see the 14 yr. old girl with cancer in our parish.
Iraq for Pete?...that stinks! Shane left for Iraq (he's in Kirkush) a few weeks ago and will be there a year. You know Bethany will be watching over Pete with the same love and care he gave her!

Hi Gang,
We are glad to hear you are doing as well as possible. Blake and Aarika sound like they are having a blast. Please send them a hug and kiss. Once those little feet come scampering through your door, smiling will be easier. Those kids are so lucky to be coming to you Lori! Chief Buzynski will be awesome as usual. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
Bruce, Leslie and Linden
P.S.: I am surviving and enjoying having Linden in my 1st grade class. We have already gone on a field trip to the White House. She loves school and enjoys going to Sunday school.

Dear Buzynski Bunch:
Thanks for the updates on everything. We understand the loss of a loved one as Mom will be gone a year next month. It is the love and support of family and friends that get each of us through the tough times.

Look for a package soon to arrive at 1800 Diviney Court! Glad to hear Aarika is loving college and Blake is busy with school and you (Lori) will soon be back taking care of little ones. Pete we know you will make Chief with flying colors and about being deployed -- that's a bummer. All of you remain in our hearts and thoughts and prayers daily.

I'm still on nursing duty here in Fairfield as Ed struggles to get better after back surgery.

You did it yet again, brought me to tears and gave me just what I needed to humble myself. We take each day for granted and when I read your updates my heart aches because I know how much you miss your little girl and what she did not only for you, but so many others. I lost a loved one almost eight years ago, and you don't ever forget them, so don't worry about that. I lost my dad almost 4-years ago now and miss them both (among a lot of other loved ones, friends and family) tremendously however I know they are always with me. I did not get the chance to say goodbye to my brother in law, my dad I did, so I know that feeling of just one more time to hold that person or say something to them. I talk to them daily... Faith and Hope are all we have, they help me carry through and just thinking of all that Bethany went through, how she carried herself and most of all, did not ever complain makes me grateful to have just known her the little I did. You and your family are an inspiration of Faith and Hope...know each day Bethany smiles down on you and is probably sitting right next to you holding you as you wish.

Hey Buzynskis :)
Just wanted to let you know that you all are ALWAYS in my thoughts and the first at the top of my prayer list. I think of Bethany every single day, and ask her to watch over us all (especially her family) and to continue giving us strength. I keep reminding myself that Bee is always with us in our hearts. Just remember: EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. We may not know what that reason is, but God does, and that's all we have to hold onto. Bethany was put here to do great things, and man did she accomplish that and so much mooooore :)

You all are always in my heart!

Good Morning Pete, Lori and kids!

We just wanted to let you know that Bethany continues to be remembered! Aaron wears his lime green Bethany t-shirt every week and I continue to see tons of lime green worn in the hallways at school!

When the heart has been touched so deeply - the gift of memories live on for an eternity!

Dear Buzynski Bunch:
It's another beautiful, sunny day here in Fairfield. Bethany is surely with us as she remains in our minds and hearts daily. Looking for those letters, poems, etc., so I can continue creating new pages for Bethany's angel memory book. It's been a labor of love and creates a sense of nearness to her and you. Thanks so much for the box of goodies that arrived yesterday. Ed is enjoying it as he is recuperating from back surgery. Take care and know that you are loved!

Love Ya'

Hi Buzynskis!

We haven't written in too long, but we are fine out here in California--thinking of you STILL, like it was yesterday, doing lots of talking/remembering about Bethany and your family, being inspired to make a small difference while we are here on this earth. I bought the Facing the Giants CD the other day and it's MUST HAVE--lots of upbeat tunes mixed with solemn ones that have the overriding theme of God's omnipotence and omnipresence.

I read each word of your update and felt the ache of your hearts so vividly. The sadness you feel is shared by so many. And even the thought of the possibility of losing a child brings in me an excruciatingly visceral reaction. Please know that Bethany is remembered FREQUENTLY and FOREVER FONDLY, along with your entire, extened family of Buzynskis and Kukers:) What am amazing gift we received the day Lauren came home from the first day of 10th grade and told us about "the coolest girl" she met in the cafeteria at lunch!!!!!! Please keep in touch. We love you all.

Good morning " family" members of the Buzynski's. Just wanted to share a relaxing time we had on Sunday night. for all of you that had the absolute priviledge of sitting by the BONFIRE during "Camp Buzynski", we thought of you while we ( Pete, Lori, Michelle and Terry Patterson and myself)were relaxing by the fire. It sure is different in the hot weather..haha No moving closer to keep your feet warm. We were able to relive some of those hilarious stories...i think Pete called it a "feeding frenzy". Mom and Dad Kuker, it was great to see you guys the weekend before also. Blake, you did an awesome job at the ballgame..maybe this week, the weather will hold off and you guys can play on the field! love to all of you. Aarika, be safe. Patti and Tanner xoxo

Hello Buzynski Family,
Your words on the last update are so true in so many ways.
My husband and I have been through the college years and the years of adjustment without kids. It takes time to get use to a very different life style, because for most of our married lives, our time, effort and money was around the kids. Now it is us, with what time is ahead of us, and we muttle through each day between work and more work. You know one thing each day is one day more that we are closer to our reunion in the sky....................:o)

Hello there you beautiful family! Once again we would like to "thank you" from the bottom of our hearts for keeping B's site updated like you have. I'm sure it is not easy going to the site, and updating it; but we do appreciate it. Bethany and her wonderful family are always on our minds. It's nice reading how the family is doing and the photos always bring a smile to our faces!!

People have been purchasing the magnets/clings that Michele sent me--so you know that Bethany is still a BIG part of the Fairfield Community!--and always will be.

My three kids start school tomorrow--boy this summer just flew by! At least they are excited about going!--hope that continues.

Aarika...we all wish you the best at college. We know that you will succeed in everything that you do. Just remember...have FUN but study hard! :)

Thanks for everything! We miss you all.

Love ya--Di

I just read the website and the tears are flowing. Very will written Pete! Just 3 days ago, Allison said out of nowhere that she thinks of Bethany for 15 min. when she wakes up, then she doesn't have her in her mind for a while, then she thinks of her again for 15 min. We all miss her! And then I think of the loving family she had and the wonderful time she spent with you all. I know there was never a doubt in her mind how much she was loved!

If Lori doens't want to go to the Bass Pro store shopping, just send her for a weekend get-away up this way, and I can be her shopping partner (although we may need a little more time than a weekend!)

Thinking of you all,
Tina

Wow - Pete! Thank you to both of you for continuing to update the website. As many others do - I continue to check the website to make sure I am up to date on what the Buzynski family is going through. I am blessed to call you "FRIEND". Bethany's life has been a true example and reminds us each day that our lives must count! Bethany made an impact - we owe it to her to make an impact on others. We love you all and continue to pray for your strength.

We've been thinking a lot of you guys. I was excited to see that Boyd's Bears will be making an angel bear in Bethany's honor. Stephanie (our youngest) collects these and it will be an amazing addition for her. Also, I'm a little jealous...a few years back I went to Foley and ate at Lambert's...they really do have good rolls and can throw them very well too! Keep your chins up and know others are thinking of you often!

My heart goes out to all of you. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I know it has made me hold my own children closer. Bethany was such an amazing young lady and her journey touched and will continue to touch so many people. I think about Bethany every single day (especially when I'm brushing Hannah Jo's hair, Bethany was so determined to get all the bumps out, I tell Hannah that story almost everytime I pull her hair up into a ponytail.) I'm so glad I had the opportunity to know Bethany. I love and miss you guys! Good luck today Aarika!

Good job on the website, Pete. We check it several times a day to find out a little bit more about all of you and how you are doing. Our loved ones are never forgotten and the memories of them will be with us forever. We'll be thinking of Aarika starting off to college later today to begin the next step in her life -- how exciting! Now, Pete, you know if you still lived close by good old Ed might take some of the pressure off you and Blake by doing an occasional shopping trip with Lori (NOT) !!! Hang in there and know we love you and think of you every day.

Glad to see you enjoyed your trip to Vegas. Wish we could have made it but we had to get Ryan moved into U of M. He has been at football camp the last week and a half and then he'll go to the dorm. They got to move in ahead of time. Aarika, we are so excited for you! You are going to have blast and do wonderful, we just know it. It was fun setting up Ryan's and I'm sure yours will be even more fun since you actually care what yours looks like :-) Tyler keeps us busy at this end with football for him. He is playing Varsity this year so it's a pretty hectic schedule, especially without Ry here to help with driving! Remember....you are always welcome to come for a visit again, all of you are. Blake, good luck in band, you will have a lot of fun at the games. Enjoy the "Bethany Kristine" and soak up all those warm rays of Bethany she keeps shining your way!
Love you guys,

Hi Buzynski family,

Thanks for continuing to update your site. We are glad you are enjoying some vacation time together with family and friends. We continue to think of all of you often and especially of Bethany. Wishing you Good Luck, Aairka with your first year of college. Glad you are enjoying your new boat as well. Can't wait to see the new Sorrelli jewelry book in January featuring a story on Bethany.

Everyday the sun shines, I think of all of you and think of Bethany and how she is watching over everyone from heaven.

We are going up my sister's (the Hummels) this week to visit for a few days before all the kids have to go back to school and get into all their activities.

We continue to pray for your healing. We will never forget Bethany or your family and what special people you are.

Take care, The Hess family

It meant A LOT that you came out and enjoyed that time with us. We all miss your family more than I can say. Good luck Aarika on starting college. I remember how excited I was and how nervous my parents were...Don't forget to visit mom and dad!!! Blake, Zach really would love to see you again. Hopefully we can do that.
Just thinking of you and glad to know all is well and busy (as usual).

We will be thinking of you also. There is not a day that goes by that we don't think of your sweet angel "Bethany". She always brings a smile to my face just thinking about her, and she always will!

As I watch Jessie enter her senior year of college , I still remember all the excitement of setting up the dorm and those first few weeks without her in the house. Enjoy watching their wings spread.

Back in Fairfield again for a few days. Gosh, such wonderful things continue to happen in memory of wonderful Bethany. Can't wait to see the new Boyds Bethany Angel Bear. The Sorrelli picture in Iowa was the best. Just when I think I'm finishing or getting close to finishing the BKB Memorial Book, something else pops up or I get another idea. Soon, hopefully soon, I'll be sending it your way.

Hello. I never had the pleasure of meeting Bethany but I lost my 17 year old daughter June 23, 2007. My sister made an In Memory Of website for her. It has helped me tremendously. I feel closer to her while I am on it. It is nice for the kids since they communicate mostly through writing on AOL or texting. I am so sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. Maybe this might help you some if you had one for Bethany. I am not sure how you are connected with Tammy & Arnie Quetot but that is how I found out about this site. We had a similar one through Pittsburgh Children's. This is her new site www.paige-desarro.memory-of.com . God Bless your family!

Hello all of you beautiful people! Trust everyone is doing well. Thank you so much for sharing your pictures with us--I love feeling like we are a part of your family--such a great family to be a part of!! We are going for a week of camping at Rickets Glen this Saturday, but I am going to try to get that package out to you before I leave and I have a story about Brandon that I will include in the package.

We all wish you the best on your vacation and Congratulations again Aarika!!! We think of you often and wish you the best.

Walt, Brandon and I had to go to NYC on Saturday 16th--and of course we all wore a piece of Bethany. Actually--lime green and pink were all over NYC and it was soooooooooo sunny!!! Thank you Bethany!!

It means a lot to us that you are updating this site. The letters on the boat look great!!

Enjoy life and know that each day will be a little easier--but you know..."B" will never be forgotten and will ALWAYS be in our hearts.

Hi Buzynski family,

We continue to think of your family. Congratulations again on your graduation, Aarika. What a beautiful speech you wrote and gave at your graduation. Thank you for continuing to update your site. We all like to hear how you are all doing. I hope you are enjoying your new boat (Bethany Kristine). Bethany, I am sure, is there along side of you happy that you are all enjoying yourselves.

We continue to think of your lovely daughter and what she taught all of us. I cannot imagine how much you miss her in person everyday, but she will always be with you in your hearts and minds and watching over you daily.

My girls have many pictures of Bethany hanging up in their rooms. One of them is of Bethany with my nieces and nephew (Lauren, Brittany and Brandon) at wing night. It's a great picture.

Last month Kaitlyn and Courtney got their hair cut
for locks of love. We told them of Bethany's story. This was something special that they wanted to do in memory for
Bethany.

Take care and God Bless

Angel Bethany is working overtime today. The sun is really warm! Aarika's visit this AM was great. Sounds as though she had a fantastic time with her friends in Ocean City. Ed's still in Shamokin at the construction site. Hopefully he will have the first portion of construction weather proof by the weekend and be able to make it back to Fairfield for a few days rest before moving on to the next section of remodeling. We are happy to be able to help with the project. Kept running your vacation memory story over in my mind and it surely made me smile! Take care, B's and have the best graduation celebration and vacation ever!

Happy Father's Day Pete!!! I know these are tough days for all of you. My heart aches with your pain as I read the latest entry. It seems like Bethany has had her wings for so very much longer than 3 months! I wasn't blessed to know her as long as you all did but, as all of us say, we were so touched by her special ways and that smile that stays forever engraved in your mind! Enjoy your day and know while you are away, everything will be taken care of here! Love you guys, Patti :)

Buzynski Family
This year I'm playing for CV softball team, and before every game we go "1..2..3..BKB!" Because this year, we've been playing "for Bethany". Also, whenever we won our only game (we've played three), we went to the middle and said "2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate? BKB, BKB, BKB!". We were going to get lime green uniforms, too, in memory of her. However, they didn't have that, so we just settled for green. I just thought I'd drop in and let you know that everyone in Fairfield is still thinking of her. Hope you guys are doing well.

Dear Buzynski's,
I didnt really know Bethany.
All I knew is that she was this pretty girl,that loved softball, and that had alot of friends.
But then I heard about how great she was and how many hearts she touched.
so I asked a couple of my friends about her.
They told me "she was a Gorgeous girl, who knows how to cheer someone up when they are having a bad day, she gave people great advice and she always was very nice to everyone she met".
And so I took there word for it.
and then I heard the Bad news about Bethany.
I felt so bad, I felt like I knew her from talking to people about her and everything else.
I just wished I could of meet her, it seems like we would of at least one thing in commin SOFTBALL!
I know how much she loves softball.
I love softball as well, I am on Carroll Valley this year.
and we support BKB at every game!
Also On our uniforms we have 14 BKB on them, Our uniforms look AMAZING :]
I just hope BKB is watching our games and cheering for us :]
we have lost 2 and won 1.
but we can get our winning score up if we just try harder.
well I just thought I would stop in and say hello. :]

P.S.Aarika your Speech was AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!

Hello Buzynskis!

Aarika~ Your speech was absolutley touching. Whether people in the audience knew Bethany or not, they had to have been touched by God's love during the ceremony. Bethany's life was just that...touched by God...He had bigger things planned for her and the effects of her life will continue to touch those on Earth forever!

Our family is heading to Hawaii this summer and it brings to mind all of those wonderful pictures that you all posted when you were there. Continue to keep your memories close and do not let them fade. Talk about them everytime one dances across your mind and share them often! Keep leaning on each other for strength, support, courage, and love; and most of all lean on Him.

May God keep you in His loving care!

Take Care,
The Forneys :)

Dear Buzynski Bunch:
Well, here it is -- the day Aarika is to arrive - in just under 11 hours -- YIPPEE. Aarika, you must have read our minds because we were thinking, "maybe she'll want to stay in the loft." Then, we thought, "No, she'll probably stay with one her best friends. When we rec'd the email requesting a "reservation" at the Peck B&B loft, we were delighted! Just wish it were all of the Buzynski Bunch arriving today. We check your website several times a day except for when we are at Connie's remodeling and without a computer. You are never more than a thought or prayer away.

Love Ya'

Fairfield, PA USA - Monday, June 4, 2007 11:18 PM CDT

well hello there buzynski family =]
first of all, miss aarika; you're speech was AMAZING, and def. a tear jerker. Every word was so true. There's so much going through my mind right now that i could share, and ironically im speechless. I know as well as you do, that you were a great sister to Bethany, and she'll forever be thankful. Your heart felt words--she heard them, and when you two are reunited, she'll be able to give you those numerous hugs she's been dieing to give you, as well as telling YOU how much she's missed you!

i know we weren't the best of friends, and it's a shame we never got started, but you're always on my mind, you as well as your family both down there in Florida with you and in Iowa and wherever else 'you special' people are scattered. haha You all have been blessed, because not only is it the Lord, and Bethany that have given you strength to keep pushing through, but each other. The people who are here now, the people who will lend a sholder to cry on, the people you wake up in the middle of the night to talk to, the people who UNDERSTAND what you're feeling, maybe not as strongly, or as 'meaningfully', but they know, believe me!

As each day passes, there's the many things that i see, or hear that remind me of my best friend, your sister, and at first the feeling of saddness hits me, but it doesn't take long for me to be thankful. I'm thankful that so many things in my life remind me of her. All of those many things, were times that her and i had to share together. Times that i will forever hold in my hearts. I will hold those times, and you, and your family, and all of the other people who have helped me keep pushing through this in more ways than one. I'm thankful for haven given the chance to meet you, and the knowledge to know that you'll be there when i need the words of courage as well. Bethany passed her gift of 'lightening' the mood to YOU when she received her wings, and it shows through the wonderful speech you wrote in return.

CONGRATULATIONS on graduating, and i'll see you at our graduation up here in PA =]

keep on smiling!!!

love you all always
Lauren Hummel

P.S. i miss yal just as much!!

Hi Buzynski Bunch,

We just wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts everyday and we love checking the updates on your site! Thank you for updating it. Congrats on your graduation Aairka and Derek says Happy Belated B-Day Blake, he wants a paint ball gun too. Just also wanted to let you know, your fish is still doing great and has really grown and he is still mean as ever! Also you have probably already heard, but we are having a softball tourney on 6/16 in Bethany's honor, it is to raise money for cancer research, one of the kids at Fairfield is doing it as her senior project. Hope to talk to you soon, and get our boys together if possible.

With Love,

Hey Buzynski's,
We have been thinking of you all a lot lately as we rush towards graduation here in Fairfield. It is so good to hear that Aarika is coming up to celebrate with her classmates here. Mary is the coordinator for the "Safe and Sane" party and wants to make sure you know that Aarika is invited and hopefully is planning on attending! Please send us an e-mail to let us know if you can make it.
Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful words Aarika - seems you Busynski's are always helping the rest of us put life in perspective:) There are so many BKB's painted on cars around here - and everytime I kick Kevin off AIM - I read his notes to Bethany that he posts on a permanent basis. Looking forward to givning you a big hug - love to your mom and day and Blake! Brion, Mary, Brion, Kevin and Katie.

Aarika--First, let me say "Congratulations on your recent highschool graduation." You have reached one milestone in your education and will now move on to another phase of it, when you attend university. As you walk into your future, you will take Bethany with you. She is a part of you and as long as you live, a part of her will continue to be.Your speech was inspiring and heartfelt and yes, I am sure your little sister was right beside you. You have so much to look forward to and in each step on the road to your future, you will carry her with you. She was an amazing young lady and she was blessed to have a loving, kind, sister, such as you. Your entire family is an example of faith and patience and a testimony to God's love and the endurance he gives us in times of need.Walk tall and proud into your life and each day share it with Bethany, in some small way, until one day, you will see her again. God Bless You and yours.

Hi Buzynski family,

We continue to think of all of you. My daughter, Courtney, still continues to come to your site. She was so moved when she read the speech that Aarika gave at her
graduation ceremony. We just read it also. It was an absolutely beautiful speech from the heart. I am positively sure Bethany was indeed by Aarika's side that day as she gave her speech. I also know she is with you all each and every day.

Aarika, Congratulations on your graduation from high school and best wishes for the next step in your life.

We were just looking at the Sorrelli jewelry the other day and we are going to each get something also (in memory of Bethany).

God Bless all of you,

I'm certain that Bethany was right beside you the entire time, otherwise I don't know how you made it through without breaking down in the very beginning. Pete & Lori, I can only imagine how proud you both are of all 3 of your children!
Hugs to all!

As I sit here with tears running down my face I wish I could reach out and give you a huge hug. I have always loved you like a daughter and I am so very proud of you! I know that Bethany will ALWAYS be with you. I am positive that star was Bethany letting you know she was there with your Mom, Dad and Blake reminding you that she will be with you as you start your next journey. Ryan graduates this weekend and I can NOT believe that you two are going to be headed off on your own. It seems like you were just dressed as Sonny & Cher, or getting inducted into JR. NHS. Please know you are welcome here anytime and we can't wait to see you again, soon we hope! Congrats and again, we are all very proud of you, as we always have been!

Aarika all I can say is WOW!!! You look absolutely amazing in your prom dress. You will have to bring home more pictures when you come back for your graduation.
I miss you guys so much, I was out running this moring and I was picturing your house and the driveway and wishing I could just run around the corner and be with all of you again.
Your boat looks like Blake will be doing a lot of wake boarding this summer. It would be fun to come down and do some skiing with you guys, as long as, Pete doesn't try to dump me. I hope when you get the letters on the boat that you will take a picture so we can see it! Talk to you soon!

Hello Buzynski's,
I was just thinking about Bethany and Aaron and his friends in the lime green "Bethany" shirts yesterday. I started reading your last journal entry about it being 2 months since Bethany went to see Jesus, and the song "Held" by Natalie Grant came on the radio. It makes me think of you and Bethany every time I hear it.
Aarika,
Your testimony must have honored Jesus in the best way! I'm sure Bethany would be proud! I pray that you will continue to grow in his love. Just continue to let Jesus hold you!

Hello Buzynski Family!!!
I have not signed in for quite awhile but I visit the site often to read your updates. It is so good to hear the lift in your words! Enjoying time on the "Bethany Kristine", celebrating Aarika's graduation, and cherishing all the little moments of life is what Bethany would want you to do I am sure!!
I was so thrilled to read that Aarika has chosen to go into the nursing field. I just graduated this past Monday from nursing school and I was able to speak at my pinning ceremony!! I can not tell you how happy I am to be done with school but more importantly to be doing what I know God intended me to do. I already have a job as a Labor and Delivery nurse and can not wait to get started. I know my career is just starting but I will never regret my decision to be a nurse! Good luck with school Aarika! I know you are going to be a wonderful nurse.
Just one more thing to share. For the past year I have worked at a local hospital as a nurse apprentice. Last Friday was my last day and they gave me a tote bag as part of a going away package. The bag is LIME green! As soon as I opened it, I thought of you and Bethany. I know we have not seen each other or even spoken since you left Las Vegas, but your life story has touched me in a way I can not even express. I think of and pray for you often. I have witnessed what God is capable of through you!!
Take care and have fun celebrating Aarika's achievements! Love, Chris

God bless you and all that's to come-- Live it up girlie! I know your future holds great things!

Mrs. B-- Mom keeps you in her thoughts and prayers daily and is sending hugs your way! Mom actually knows how to email now and would love to hear from you when you get a moment --you can be in touch with her at sls9558@hotmail.com -- and who knows she says she might just end up at your doorstep one day asking �what�s for dinner?� (Hopefully Pete�s cooking she says! Ha ha!)

God Bless you all,

Just thought I'd drop in and tell you that you are constantly on my mind, as always, and I continue
to ask God to keep guiding you through the coping process.

Looks like tomorrow is going to be
another LIME GREEN day at school.
Pretty positive I speak for the whole school
when I say that Bethany is insanely missed
and loved to an extreme extent.<333

Lori, you were on my mind a lot this Mother's Day weekend and I pray for you all of the time.
May the "Bethany Kristine" provide you endless hours of joy and laughter just as Bethany did!
Nate says "hello" to Blake...he really misses him.

Lori,

Just wanted to let you know I thought of you all day yesterday (Mother's Day). You get the Mom of the Year award from me. I kept thinking about what an extraordinary example you are of what it truly means to be a mother and that being a mother never ends.

Aarika - you looked stunning. I am sure you were the bell of the ball. Good luck with your speech at graduation. It is hard to believe you are graduating. I can still remember you the first day of 8th grade. It seems like yesterday. Time sure does fly. I wish you the best of luck at school next year. I have no doubt that you will be very successful. Take care!

Hello Buzynski's!

Aarika~ It seems like just the other day you were in my 8th grade English class and we were learning about verbs or something even more exciting like adjectives! And now you've enjoyed your last high school prom and are ready to graduate. You looked absolutely fabulous on the special day and good luck on giving your graduation speech. I know that you will do well :) I once vacationed in Pensicola (sp?) and it is so beautiful there...what a great spot to get an education!

Lori- May you have a blessed Mother's Day! You are truly an inspiration for all of us!

As for Blake...I'm waiting for all of those "boys will be boys" adventures with my son Owen. As of right now he just likes to play in the sand with his trucks as a 1.5 year old :)

The boat looks like a lot of fun~Enjoy!

May God keep you all in His loving care!

Take Care,

The rest of the gang~
Have a great time with "Bethany Kristine"... she's a beauty. Can't wait to see her name on there!
Take care!

Thank You for sharing the pictures of Aarika's prom night. What a beautiful young lady she is and what a handsome date. Wow!!! Congratulations on your upcoming graduation and heading to Nursing school. That is so great. I know Bethany is so proud of her sister and of course her brother Blake. Happy Birthday Blake. And Mom and Dad keep up the spirit that is what Bethany would want you to do. Her love will always be with you all.

Hi Lori and Pete,

We are still thinking of you all just as often as always and are thankful for all the happy and positive things that are going on in your lives right now. I am ESPECIALLY thrilled and proud of Aarika's career choice. Nursing is a fabulous profession-- I speak from the heart after 21 years. When the alarm goes off in the morning (or at night as is the case for many nurses:), it is easy to get up knowing that your day is about to have lots of opportunities to "make it better" or at least make it a little easier. SO, to Aarika-- Let me be the first to wish you a HAPPY NURSE'S DAY (May 9th every year) and a HAPPY GRADUATION.

Hey y'all! I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be able to enjoy your company and warmth as you have always shown, even when times were toughest. You always amaze me! When I walk at night, I look to the brightest star and call it Bethany and have the most wonderful conversation as if it's her :o) I know she listens and even though she can't answer me, I just keep right on going! You'd be amazed at how many miles I can walk and talk! I've so enjoyed Aarika at school! I can't believe she is graduating! What an awesome young lady she is! And talk about gorgeous at prom!!! She was THE belle of the ball that's for sure! There was no one more beautiful than she was that night! And well, you know me, I don't think anyone is EVER more beautiful! The "Bethany Kristine" is super! There is no more perfect name! I am hoping to enjoy a fun time out on the water with you all someday. I am sure the sun will always shine on you with Bethany watching over the "Bethany Kristine!" Hugs and Kisses to you all!

Hi everyone,
It's good to hear that you all enjoyed your first trip in the Bethany Kristine and I'm sure it's namesake was right beside you all the way.

Aarika sent Ryan some prom pictures...she looked beautiful (as she always does). Hope that she had a great time! It is so hard to believe that she and Ry will be graduating soon...where did those little kids in that camping video go?

Just wanted to let you all know that we are thinking of you all everyday and praying the days get easier for you all.

Hey there Buzynski's :]

Just thought i'd stop in a leave you a little love since I haven't done so in a little while. Fairfield's been feeling a lot of Bethany's warmth lately :] Which we are all really glad for because when you feel it you know that she's just smiling down, and that shows us she's happy up there. I hope she's been smiling down on you all lately too. But knowing Bethany she's probably bringing a little sunshine to every single place that she knows someone in.

I read the update about the Sorelli necklace for Bethany and when it comes out in the magazine i'd really love to get it. So if you could maybe put some stuff about how to order it on here, that'd be amazinggg :]

I was going through all my pictures of me and Bethany the other night and wow did it bring back good times :] She was and still is such an amazing and absolutley beautiful girl. I really miss that smile of hers, it was def. one of a kind.

I'm hoping to see you all pretty soon. I think about you all a lot and still continue to pray that Beth's strength is now in your hands to help you through all of this.

I miss you guys and hope all is well.
Say hello to the whole family for me!

love you all.

Hi Family,
Whenever I need a moment of strength and my faith begins to falter I come to Bethany's site...her strength and courage keep me going and I am so glad you continue to include us in your postings, it keeps Bethany alive in spirit and in mind and sometimes that is all you need. Life is testing me right now in a way that is completely different than what you and Bethany went through, which is why I can turn to this and read it and look at her beautiful picture and remind myself of my beautiful healthy children, it makes it all better. Enjoy your "Bethany Kristine" ...every minute of it with her! Keep posting, the positive feelings and continued strength of this family encourage us all to keep going no matter what. God bless all of you and Bethany!

Aarika, can't wait to see the official prom pictures and know they will be gorgeous if the sneak preview we got of the prom dress was any indication :o) Congrats on your graduation which is now only days away. When you travel to Iowa for your big family celebration, give hugs to the family and tell them the Peck B&B misses them :o)

Glad to hear you have been able to take that inaugural "voyage" on the Bethany Kristine.

Hello Buzynskis!

Hope Floats :) ...The 'Bethany Kristine' is sure to bring you all some peaceful times on the water where you can leave the world behind and focus on the love for each other. I can't wait to see the catalog of jewlery. Although is won't be until Jan., it sounds as though I'll need to purchase some of it sooner than that! I love to read your updates and the updated posts. Thank you for taking us all in as "part" of your family and keeping us up to date. May God continue to give you the strength that each of you need and may you find comfort in His presence.

Take Care,

Hi Buzynski family,

I haven't written in here for a while. We justed wanted you to all know that you are in our hearts and minds every day. I know these days must be very difficult for all of you. I am sure you have good days and bad days. I know you are all trying to get back to a normal routine. We know Bethany would want you to do this and know she is with you in everything you do. Your family will always be in our hearts. Bethany and all of you have taught each and everyone of us important lessons in life; to try to live life to the fullest and don't worry about the trivial things, and to love more. You are amazing people and Bethany was an absolutely amazing young lady.

I just saw the new photos of the girls and they are darling. They made me smile. The girls faces have not changed too much since they were little. They are beautiful. It is so fun to look at photos. Photos are so wonderful. They bring back the best memories. They keep the people we love in our hearts and minds.

I know Bethany did love jewelry and it is great what the Sorrelli company is going to do in memory of Bethany.

Bethany's spirit will live on forever. I can't tell you enough how Bethany and your family has made such a lasting impression on my family as well as hundreds of other families.

Enjoy your boat. What a great name...Bethany Kristine..

Yardley, PA - Monday, April 30, 2007 10:14 AM CDT

well hello there buzynski family :)
it's been a while since i've added my 'two cents' to this guest book, and these past few weeks, Bethany has really been on my mind, and so have you guys! i wanted to send my love down to Florida, with the hope that yal are doing well.
This past Friday our NAHS went on a field trip, for some reason, one i still can't figure out, EVERYTHING i or someone else said reminded me of bethany. I caught myself saying "well bethany..." or "bethany always..." and so on, after everything that was said. It was one of those days where that space in my heart that she has felt lonely and empty. I wouldn't say it was a depressing day, but more joy, because everything i did, she was there also. :D I still find myself wanting to text her, or call. A lot has happened to me lately, things that bethany and i always used to talk about, and no one else really understood. It was a time i really needed her. I always know i can talk to her whenever i want, it's just hard to understand if she's responding. i asked her a few questions of advice, and told her if she thought i was making the right decision to 'send me a sign'...sure enough, soon after the song "worlds greatest" by RKelly came on, and i knew just then that she agreed. I still long everyday to feel her touch, her love, and her friendship. As i gaze at the sky at night, i look for the star that's shining the brightest, and there she is. As i pray and we carry on our nightly talk, she shimmers, and smiles back at me.

just a reminder, yal are always in my heart, and there you'll forever remain. I love you all to the max!!

Aarika --> i saw mrs. reed at my work yesterday, and the first thing she said to me was "how's aarika?" and she wanted me to make sure i told you she said hi and is thinking of you and your family.

hope you all have a wonderous week :)

<3 always and forever

I thought about Bethany a lot today.
I was reading about the necklace that Sorelli is going to dedicate to Bethany--that is theee best! I remember when Chloe, Taylor, and I stopped by to Bethany at Jan and Ed's a little after Christmas and she showed us her Sorelli jewelry. I wanted one of those necklaces like no other after she showed us them. Hahaha. Bethnay was insanely proud of her jewelry, and I can't wait to see her smile the day that catalog comes out. :)
Bethany has given me major sunburn,
but i'm not complaining. =)

Everyday I pray to God that He will give you all
the strength that Bethany had to get through this.
Everyday I thank God for blessing us with Bethany,
even if it wasn't for as long as we wanted her with us.

I have so much faith that you will come out
of this even stronger than you went into it.
Your entire family is amazing! :)
Love you all and God Bless.

Hey Guys!

You probably have heard this already, but last Sat. morning they had the opening ceremony for the FF baseball, softball and soccer seasons at the baseball field. Right after the invocation and the Pledge of Allegance, the announcer mentioned Bethany and the fact that her old team was wearing little BKB patches on their jersey sleves in her honor; then there was a moment of silence for her. There were hundreds of people there and you could have heard a pin drop. It was really cool.

Campbell is playing both soccer and, for the first time, baseball this year. Last night was his second baseball game and the coach awarded him the game ball! He was 3 for 3 with 2 RBI's, had a great defensive play in left field and was the catcher (for the first time) for the last two innings...which made me think of your little catcher!

Tell us some more about your new boat! We got "Tigger" in the water at Lake Marburg on Sunday after church and I was able to take Beth for a sail! It was really nice.

Anyway, I just wanted to share the sports thing with you.

We love you guys!!

Fairfield, - Wednesday, April 25, 2007 11:43 AM CDT

Dear Buzynski Family:

I just wanted to let you know that my family and friends as well as everyone else here in FF are thinking about you and bethany every single day. A little more than a month has passed and yet it seems like forever. We keep telling ourselves that God needed a PERFECT angel, and that bethany was what he was looking for, and that she is...a perfect little angel now--as well as the most gorgeous one! I have to say that I admired her every single day for how strong she was and never ever once thought about giving up. Most people would have lost hope and faith and quit when things became too much to handle, but that wasnt a trait of bethany's, as well as the rest of your family. One of the hardest things to think of is the fact that your family and bethany went through two and half years of ups and downs, but what amazes us the most is how much faith one family can hold.
We've honestly agreed that you have to be one of the most AMAZING families anyone has ever come across. And no matter what happened, you guys still ALWAYS remembered where you came from and who was there all along.
Your family still remains humble towards everyone else which warms our heart. To prove this point, I just want to recall the last time you guys were up here. I was working at the GAP and I bumped into Lori and some of her family. I began chatting with her and of course asked about Bethany. She said that she was doing well and hanging in there like always. Sadly, she wished they werent up there for the reasons that they were, but were still more than happy to be here. I agreed as well and replied that we were more than happy to see them.

((For those of you that dont know, I was first introduced to the Buzynski family when I cheered with Aarika during basketball season of my sophomore year; which was also the time that my younger sister was introduced to Bethany during her basketball season. Aarika was the PERFECT cheerleader: friendly, gorgeous, and ALWAYS had a smile on her face...which is one of her very many great qualities. We all got along and had one terrific season.))

However, that was about almost 3 years ago, a little before Bethany was diagnosed.

Knowing that fact, it amazed me when I was talking to Lori that after ALL those years she STILL remembered my name. Considering that I only cheered w/Aarika, she rememebered exactly when and where we met. Now for any ordinary person, it would be highly unlikely that we would remember people that came in and out of their lives..but for the Buzynski's, that came natural for them. Even when they were going through the toughest of times, they STILL took the time to acknowledge those around them. And to me, thats what makes you the most amazing family I'll ever meet. And for that I would like to thank you guys. You've shown everyone the TRUE meaning of family and became the best role models God ever created.

My thoughts and prayers are ALWAYS with you and I hope you are all doing well.
Oh and I was VERY tickled to hear about your new "Bethany Kristine" aka your boat! We know that as you travel upon those gorgeous blue waters Bethany will be smiling brighter than the sun.

Take care and God bless,
Jenn<3

Pete, Lori, Aarika, & Blake,

I know I have not put a message on here in a while but I think about you all everyday. Again, thank you for sharing your continued journey and sharing those beautiful pictures of happy times.

My mom was here visiting from Iowa last week and treated me to the Celine Dion show. She was just amazing and sings like an angel. At a couple points in the show it was so moving and I thought of my dad and your Bethany, my eyes filled with tears. It just made me feel like I was a little closer to god and they were right there watching too.

I know these times are really hard. There will always be those times that are a little tougher than others and moments when it will hit you out of nowhere and you find yourself crying. Even though it will be 3 years this August since I lost my dad, I still get caught up in emotion when I least expect it. I find talking about him with my kids and funny memories is the greatest therapy. Keep holding on to those wonderful memories of her and talking about those memories, laugh and enjoy life & when your heart is breaking cry and let it all out.

I will continue to keep you all in my prayers!!
God bless you all!!!

I know Your angel is with you all everyday. I know a lot of people are thinking about you and praying for this great family. Well Pete, a boat. I guess I'll start calling you skipper or captain, but I'm sure Lori will run the show. Have a good time with it. Stay positive and happy in the days, weeks, and months to come. Thats what your angel would want you to be. Take care.

How apropos to celebrate Bethany with Sorrellis! I wear my jewelry almost everyday. So does Hailey and Lindsey's Grandma Susan which she calls her "Bethany Bracelet." Every day a prayer goes out to you all from our house. We love you.

Hello Buzynski family. I wanted you to know that I have found encouragement through Bethany and your family as well. I am the admin. asst. at FBC and I have been reading and hearing about the amazing things that your family and daughter have been through and how you have handled each thing that has come your way. God hopefully has some new children in His Book of Life because of all your courage and encouragement as I honestly believe that the best witness in life is through living it and you have all done just that. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers and know that you give me strength each time I read your updates. May God continue to smile upon your spirits as you travel down His roads.

Love the pictures! I am glad to see you sharing memories of Bethany. I am very honored as well to know your family. I remember when you lived here in Vegas and I would constantly say to others how I envied the closeness of your family and the relationship that Pete and Lori share. Being high school sweethearts and still in love as much as you are is such a blessing. You instilled that in all of your children and it was obvious. We love and miss all of you. Try to have some fun planning Aarika's graduation and cherish all the memories!!

Its great to see that your family is doing their best to try to restore a "normal" life. Im sure the rollercoaster can be exhausting but please try to find peace and comfort in knowing that your Angel Bethany will always live in the hearts of so many people! This beautiful and unforgetable young lady will hold a huge place in my heart forever. Your amazing journey has changed my life and life for my family. Just want you to know we think of you often and keep your family in our prayers. Also, the last pictures posted are so sweet! They put a big smile on your face. You can see that same spark in her eyes even as a little tyke. Im sure you've always known she was exceptional.
Take good care Buzynski Family.

Hi Buzynski family!!!
Just wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you and praying for you as your family returns to a routine! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I check for updates often and love to read how things are going. Even in this time of great pain and sorrow, your beautiful spirit comes through! You are an absolutely amazing family and have taught me so much. My heart breaks for you and what you must be feeling. As a mom, I can not imagine. My sister got her angels wings when she was 16, almost 15 years ago. I talk with my mom often about how she feels and what she went through during those first few months. She said the most important thing to her was for us not to forget her and to be able to talk about her. My sister will always be with us, and we know we have the promise of seeing her again. We keep her alive in our hearts by remembering all the wonderful times with her.
I am sure you are doing the same with Bethany. Although she is not here physically, she will always be here with you in spirit and in memories!
I pray that you have the strength that you need and a peace beyond understanding!
Your lives and what you have gone through has been an amazing example to people everywhere, especially me and my family! I love seeing the beautiful pictures!!
God Bless! Love, Chris

Dear Buzynski Family~

Bethany is such a hero to me. She is such a strong person. I now enjoy every day like it is my last and I never did that before. I now give my mom and dad "hugs and kisses" before bed. Bethany made me realize how precious life really is. THANK YOU BETHANY! I am thinking of you guys all the time. Bethany is a HUGE role model to me.

Love,

Dear Lori and Pete,

Thank you so much for letting all of us know how you are all doing. Every day I check for an update and when there is one, I just feel closer to all of you and Bethany. It brings a kind of peace to me, just knowing how strong you and your family remain. Sure there is going to be some tough roads ahead, but deep down w/ the help of your "Special Angel", you will be fine and taken care of. Bethany wouldn't have it any other way. It is hard to believe that Bethany received her angel wings almost a month ago. Doesn't seem possible. She is still remembered here in Fairfield, and always will be. She has left her mark in all of our hearts. I am so blessed to have known Bethany, we all are.

Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake...you all are very special. May you find peace and comfort in the days ahead. We think of you often. Miss you guys!

Love ya--Di

I wanted to tell you something else that I feel is important for you all to know. I know that I hug Hailey, Lindsey and Dawn a little tighter everyday and give them as many "smoochers" as they will allow me to give. I don't take them or the time we spend together for granted like I used to. "THANK YOU BETHANY!" Bethany has brought out so many possitive things in those who knew her well and even those who barely knew her. I know that she wants you all to be happy. She has changed so many of us in countless ways that are hard to even comprehend. We all know that you will have very tough and painful days ahead of you so remember how Bethany wants you to feel and never forget what you have. Memories are one of God's greatest gifts so that no one we love ever really leaves us. I love you all very much. Please take care.

Hey Lori,
Just read your last note. I know the feeling of missing someone. I know how it feels to not get much accomplished because you are somewhat lost. It is all part of the process. Holidays are the same here. Since Mom went home, everything at holiday time feels strange and unfamiliar, BUT we know in our hearts where she is, just as you do Bethany.
We know that this is not permanent and someday we will be reunited. It is the faith that they lived as testimony to us that keeps us going. I promised my Mom until I was with her to keep on going with my heart singing, it's not always easy, but a promise is a promise............love you as a dear circle friend. Love ya too Bethany, I know you hear me.

Coal Twp., PA USA - Wednesday, April 11, 2007 12:10 AM CDT

Lori,

I'm here at Choctaw this morning, but thinking of you and wishing we could be planning a lunch date instead. When you are home and it gets too quiet, turn on some good praise songs or some good Josh Groban (my favorite:)and just get lost in the beautiful music. A good book can do wonders too. God's love for you never ends!! And pretty soon it will be time for Aarika and Blake to come home from school and fill you in on their days.

As hard as it will be for Aarika to enjoy this last month of high school, I pray that carrying her beloved sister with her in her heart will let her know that it's ok to have some "fun", that Bethany would want the whole family to celebrate the incredible young woman that Aarika has grown to be this year!!!! GO AARIKA!! You are an angel among angels and congratulations on your superior values and inner strength. We salute you and your family as you approach graduation and what will surely be an tremendous future with God by your side.

PS. Grandma and Grandapa Kuker: We miss you, too and are thinking about you as well. God bless your devotion to your family. Niceville misses you as well.

Dear Buzynski's:
Sending on another little note of encouragement before we hit the road and become computerless (LOL) I had a thought last night about the times growing up at home when we'd gather around a piano and sing different hymns. We sang "Beyond the Sunset" quite often and I'd like to share the last verse of that song with you:

Beyond the sunset,
O glad reunion,
With our dear loved ones
Who've gone before;
In that fair homeland
We'll know no parting
Beyond the Sunset, forever more!

Until that day when we all shall meet again, live every day to its fullest and love each other as God loves us.

Love You Always and Forever

We lost our son aged 15 to osteosarcoma on August 26 2005. The missing him gets worse but the overwhelming pain does lessen. We still feel guilt if we have "too much fun" but are trying to find a new purpose in our lives. Both of us find throwing ourselves into work helps focus the mind on something else than our loss.

Best wishes

Hello Buzynski's!! You are in our thoughts each and every day. Wish I could ease your pain, but I believe that God wouldn't give you more than you can handle...just like Bethany. Each and every day will get a little easier. Lean on all your "WONDERFUL" friends and family. We went to visit my sister, Karen, for Easter this year. Brandon packed the picture of Bethany and him...she is always with us--always. We do miss her so much and during the days, I even find myself talking to her around the house. She is in a better place and at peace.

We would LOVE to come and visit again. We were talking about that just the other day. We will keep you posted!! If Lauren had it her way--she would be moving in with you all!! :)

Hang in there, Buzynski's. Hug each other often. We are and always will be--thinking of you and your family.

I just wanted to write to let you know that I think of you often and pray for you all..I can't imagine what you are going through and how much you must miss Bethany. Remember there are so many people out there thinking of you and wishing you the best. I sure would love to make it down there sometime..Maybe Kris and I should plan a get-away sometime! We'll have to look into that!

Buzynski Family,
Hope you are all doing well. It is funny I was only introduced to your family through Patti Baddeley, have never met you personally or Bethany but I find myself thinking of her often. I can not image what it must be like but the Lord is with you every step of the way. He will never give you anything you can not handle. Just think Bethany is up there looking down at every single one of us and just image how very proud she is of all of you for doing so well. Wishing you the best and thinking of you often.

Our plans are to leave Fairfield on the 12th and arrive at Melbourne Beach, FL on the l4th and will stay there until the 21st. We will give you a call and let you know when we will stop in to say "Hi" and give hugs. Not sure if it will be on the 21st or 22nd. Hang in there and keep smiling. I found Easter to be hard this year without Mom -- each first is difficult- but we all must go on knowing that our loved ones would want us to do so. See you soon.

Hi there!
Just thinking of you all and praying that you will get through these hard days.
Lori, I just saw your update in Bethany's journey... I wish I could tell you it would be ok... and that lost feeling would go away. But, I can't... I lost my Grandma in February and I have that same feeling... only time will heal the heart, with God's help along the way.
I came across this poem and I'm sure Bethany would tell you this if she could:

I know you worry, dream and pray
That I'm alright and happy.
God is making sure I am, he fusses over me.
I know you miss and love me
I feel the same for you.
God tells me that's alright, it's what loving people do.
I know you hope I knew them all,
The ones who met me here,
Grandmas, grandpas, aunts and uncles,
And friends who took my fear.
God joined them at the gate,
He cried and said he missed me,
Because you taught me of His love,
I hugged him back�He kissed me.
I know you know I love you,
Please don't be afraid.
I laugh, I giggle, run and hide
With all the friends I've made.
So when you worry if I'm safe
Please remember this,
God is taking care of me, I laugh, I love, I live.
I love you, Mom
I love you, Dad
I worry, watch and pray.
Please don't forget how much I need
you both to be OK.
I'm always watching over you,
I know how hard you try
And when we meet again
You'll know�with love we never die.

Peter, Lori, Aarika and Blake, GOD BLESS you all!
Much Love,

Thank you for sharing your faith through this time. God has given you a beautiful daughter and she is so blessed to have known her Lord and Savior because of your parenting... He couldn't have put her in a better family. I am sorry to hear that her journey on this earth is over, but I am so thankful to hear that she has victory in Heaven! May the Lord strengthen you every day, hold you in His arms when He is also holding Bethany so you can still be so very close, and comfort you through it all.

Dear Buzynski's:
Here it is very late on Good Friday evening and just like any other day we are thinking of all of you. According to the weather forecast for Easter, you would think it was February not April. The lime green and hot pink eggs on our Bethany/Easter tree have goose-bumps (LOL). We will soon be in FL enjoying the warm sun and if all goes well, we will be able to give you a real hug instead of the long-distance hugs we have been sending. In the meantime, hug each other and stay strong!

I was just looking at the page and reading the update, like usual, and I thought I'd leave a little message for you guys. I hope you are enjoying the time that you're spending with your family this week, I'm sure it's much needed. Also I hope you all are doing well, if not better. I know you guys have stayed so strong through all of this just like Beth did and wants you all too. I miss you guys a whole heck of a lot. It was good to see you all the other week even if it wasn't for the best reasoning, but either way it was still great to give you all hugs and say hello.

I pray for you all constently each and everyday and everytime the sun shines I know she's showing us that there will come better days.

Hopefully i'll get to talk to you all sometime soon. Until I do hang in there and remember that she is still with you and needs you to remain strong like she was.

I love you guys and miss you loadddsss.

Happy early Easter to you all, hopefully you enjoy it :D

Dear Buzynski Family,
I have been busy the last couple of days but I wanted you all to know my family made it back safely from Iowa Wednesday around 8:00 pm. Even though it was a long drive it was worth paying my respects to bethany one last time. I remember the morning of the funeral we hopped in the car and got ready to go. I was really tired and I was about to go to sleep but a ray of sunlight came through the window and hit me in the eyes and to me I thought it was bethany telling me to wake up. I feel very blessed to have known Bethany. I miss her but I also know she is no longer in pain. God Bless you guys and have a good Easter.

Sincerely,

I can hear Bethany laughing when I think about those days. She is probably laughing at me right now as I watch it SNOW outside on April 4th!
I remember those first few weeks and months after my Dad died, it was kind of a blur at times. I also remember the "dream" I had the night after my Dad died. In the dream my family and I were all together in his house, distraught over his sudden death. The door opened and beautiful sunshine, warmth and peace filled the room. He came to me and I could feel his arm on my shoulder. He said he didn't choose to leave but that we should know he would not choose to come back if he could. He said we would all be OK and we would be together again soon. You may have heard that story before, and even though it has been almost 11 years now, I can still remember every detail about it and it brought me great comfort and peace. Bethany will be with you as you journey continues every day. I know she'll be smiling and preparing for the day she will be with you again. I hope you continue to find strentgh in GOD and one another. I'll be thinking of all 5 of all and sending you warm thoughts.
Love, Kris

Buzynski family,
The service in Fairfield was beautiful! I was taken back by all that you did to prepare for that. Seeing the dress Bethany wore at the winter ball, all the pictures and commeorative items was just so special to be a part of. For one girl who impacted so many by her strength, that could only be taught by loving parents, you all, as I have said many times, give us all the ability to move forward in our day no matter what is going on. I look at your strong, loving family picture, the sun shining in the sky and just say to myself...this is love, this is what a family is, and Bethany is the strength that I strive for everyday. Happy be-lated birthday Bethany as you watch over many especially your loving family...know what you have given us all...a stength, faith, hope and beauty that will live forever in my heart and many others.

Buzynski family: My mom, Dolores Steege, mentioned that you lost your beautiful daughter Bethany to cancer last week. I am so sorry for your loss. I was not aware of Bethany until after her death, but I have been reading your journals about her. What a great girl she is. I know her spirit will continue to touch you, and you will see little signs of her as the days pass. It was neat to read about her service back in Readlyn. So many familiar names. I am sure your Iowa family was grateful for the chance to celebrate Bethany's life.

We know a little of what you have been going through. Our daughter, Hannah, now age 9, finished treatment for Ewings Sarcoma, another type of bone cancer, last August. She had an amibiguous scan last month, so she will have another one April 24th. We are certainly anxious about that, but we are hopeful that it is nothing.

Please know that you are in our family's thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts have been with you so often in these last few weeks as you have traveled and been able to celebrate Bethany's life with all those that loved her. My prayers have been with you as well. I am glad to hear you have returned home safely.
I spoke with Colleen and she said the service in Iowa was absolutely beautiful! I still can not even begin to imagine what you are going through. I look at my three girls and cherish them just a little bit more and I am trying to not sweat the small stuff!
Thanks again for sharing your family's journey with us. You have truly been an inspiration and are a true example of what hope, faith, and love are all about.
I know you will be spending the next weeks and months trying to return to some type of routine and my thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you! I would love to hear from you!

Sounds like it was a beautiful service, just like the one here in Fairfield. Thank you for coming to Fairfield and allowing all of us here to celebrate her life. It was an absolutely beautiful service and an amazing tribute to Bethany. I know she was looking down and smiling on all of us!
Hopefully you all can get some much needed rest the next few days before you travel again. Your amazing love and support for each other is an inspiration to all.

Today was the most beautiful day...Bethany's birthday and she was shining down on Fairfield just as Chloe said she would. Thank you Buzynski's for having such a wonderful service here for the community. It was so special hearing all of the fun and sad stories. It made me feel closer to her. She will not be forgotten.

An Irish Blessing for you Buzynski Family:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
The sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

SMILE
Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
If you smile through your fears and sorrows
Smile there may be tomorrow
You see the light come shining through
If you light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile what's the use in crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just SMILE

Please smile the way Bethany always did...may it bring you peace to know she will forever be smiling on you!

Much love,
Katie Brown

HAPPY SWEET 16TH MISS BETHANY!!
It broke my heart to not be able to attend one of the memorials. It was just too difficult with the three little ones. I know that you are having a blast with your new friends Bethany. Keep them smiling!!
Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake- I have been thinking of you all throughout this long journey over the past week. I remember that one night at your home we were playing cards and Howie was sleeping on the couch and Bethany decided she would paint his fingernails a bright shade of red. He always thought that was a pretty good prank for such a little girl.
Love you all!!!

Do not stand at my bier and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush of
Quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my bier and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Dear Buzynski family, Just felt led to share with you the events of the day of Bethany's death. I am the sister-in-law of Marcie Lenick and have been following your family's journey through Bethany's illness. Marcie shared that Bethany really needed extra prayers and I called my friend, Eric Darr who is a pastor of a home-based church. My heart was pounding and I just knew that we needed to pray immediately for Bethany. He prayed for angels to surround your family and give comfort to all. His prayer was so incredibly beautiful and we both were weeping.Such a strong sense of peace was washing over me as we said Amen. Less than 5 hours later we got word from Marcie about Bethany leaving on those angels wings that were surrouning your family that whole afternoon. I just wanted let you that you all will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. In His Love, The Zeitler Family

What a beautiful, beautiful "celebration of Bethany's life" last night. So many stories, so many BIG hearts, so many tears, so many laughs...My family and I want to express our "thanks" to Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake for allowing us to say "good-bye" to Bethany, who had become part of my family over the past years. Last night, right before we left the church, Brandon and I were sitting in front of the urn and Brandon asked me if it was okay for him to go up and wrap his arms around the urn so that Bethany could feel him hugging her. Through my tears, I told him that he could, but that Bethany will ALWAYS and FOREVER be in his heart. She may not be here on earth, but your memories of her will be with you always. Once he was up there, he didn't want to leave her. We stood there quite awhile. Just knowing that she is in a better place...happy, running, SMILING...makes her being gone, a little easier.

Pete, Lori, Aarike, Blake...over the past few years, you all have become a special part of our family. We miss you guys. There is something so pure and honest about you all--Bethany was so very lucky to have such a caring and wonderful family. WE were very lucky to know you and your family.

You and your entire family are in our thoughts and prayers. Lean on each other and "Bethany" will help get you through this.

We love you guys.

Hi Buzynski Family,
I realize that this is the third time i have written in ur guestbook, but i just wanted to let u know that we will be dedicating our final performance for musical to your awesome family and your amazing daughter. We are truly sorry that we wont get to see you at her memorial tonight and if our directors wouldnt kill us we would skip the show. Bethany's favorite color, lime green, will be displayed everywhere we can put it. We truly will always love Bethany and hope that you know that our hearts go out to you so much that words wouldnt be able to describe it. You had such an amazing daughter, which i am sure you are aware of. Thank you for raising such an amazing person and for being so strong for all of us. WE LOVE ALL OF YOU.

I like so many others have struggled as to what to write knowing there are no words to mend your broken hearts. At first I was thinking that Bethanys light has gone out on earth but is shining in heaven , but that isn't really true because her light shines thru every single person that her life has touched and they are COUNTLESS!!
Thanks you for being such an incredible example of a Godly family. Being real, full of GRACE,LOVE HOPE and JOY (I LOVE how you all continued to live life to the FULLEST despite all that you were going thru!) I will see you all tonight in Fairfield and can't wait to give you a hug Lori!! In His LOVE,,,Marcie :)

My heart is with all of the buzynski family. I new Bethany when she was just born and she was just the cutest and brightest little girl with this curly hair. I am very positive that heaven has welcomed her with open arms.
Stay strong as she will and smile as she is and hopefuly every day will just be as bright as Bethany is.

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There, she is gone."

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There, she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming, and there are other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!" And that is dying.

Those who live in the hearts of others never die. God bless beautiful Bethany and her incredible family. She is truly an angel in heaven.

Bethany has taught us a lot about courage and strength. Maybe that was why god placed her on this earth. She is my inspiration. She has taught me never to take anything for granted ands always be nice to everyone. Although I only met her a couple times she always had a smile on her face. She was too young. It is not fair that the good die young . She is our angel, and I know she is watching us everyday. It�s hard to lose someone, especially someone like Bethany. She has touched our lives in so many ways. I prayed every night for this special girl, but i guess this wasn't what god planned. Willa Cather once said Where there is great love, there are miracles. And love is something eternal. When someone dies, they still live on in you and me, and everyone who loved them- Jessica Anne Farley. Bethany was a friend who can be silent with us in a moment of dispar or confusion, who could stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness that is the friend who really cares- Henri Nouwe. Sometimes,sticks and stones would be easier to bear. When I got home the night of her passing I was going to summit this entry:
Bethany, not a day goes by when your not in my thoughts and prayers. i continuously pray that god gives you peace and comfort. You are very strong, so keep fighting. You can beat this. You are a friend to everyone. A friend is someone who can be silent with us in a moment of dispar or confusion, who could stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face with us the reality of our powerlessness that is the friend who really cares- Henri Nouwe. Now it's our turn to be a friend like that.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

We prayed for healing for Bethany, now we pray for healing for the ones she leaves behind. May God Bless The Buzynski Family.

Dear Buzynski Family,
I had the honor and the blessing to have Bethany in my English II Honors class at NHS. There are two pictures of Bethany that are forever (and I do mean forever;I will never forget her) imprinted in my memory. The first was the day in August when my class was getting ready to leave our First Period class to go to the auditorium to get our school pictures taken. It was very early in the year (the second week of school, I think), and I did not really know any of my students very well. However, as I was walking around the room,I stopped by a desk next to door. Sitting in that desk was this beautiful girl, with the cutest short and curly brown hair, and the prettiest multi-colored Sorrelli necklace and earrings set. I remember tellling her how lovely she looked, and I will forever see her smiling up at me. My second never-to-be forgotten memory of Bethany occured a few months later. It was Bethany's first day back at school after her amputation. It was five minutes before the bell was going to ring, and the students were busy chatting about something. I quietly asked Bethany if she would like to leave a little early to get a head start on the traffic. Again she smiled her radiant smile at me, shaking her head and saying that she didn't need to leave early. When the bell rang, I watched the loveliest, bravest girl go through the door. She has gone through another door now, but the memory of her spirit is forever here with me in Room 606. She will forever be an inspiration to me... Susan Lipnicky / English II Honors teacher

Hi,

Words can simply not express the impact that Bethany (and Lori, Pete, Aarika and Blake) has had on our family. Eventhough we only touched to edges of your journey, the Hope, Grace and Strength that we observed on a daily basis will leave a lasting life long impression. As your journey continues, we will steadfastly pray for you and your family.

I remember the day Bethany visited the Ward in crutches, then showed us her new stride and walked around the nurses station with her smiling face and cute hairdo!! She always had so much stength, no matter what. I will never forget Bethanys beautiful smile. It was truly a blessing to know her and take care of her on Ward 51. I will always remember Bethany and her wonderful loving family.

Buzynski Family,

Hi, I was in Bethany's spanish class at NHS and last friday the 16th I traveled to Jacksonville to visit some friends. While visiting the friends, I met a lady who I had never seen before and she asked me if I went to NHS and I said yes. She then proceeded to ask me if I knew Bethany and she told me about how she had read about her on a christian website. I said that I knew of her and her story but did not know her personally. We then began to talk about Bethany and her amazing and couragous battle and how much strength she had through all of this. While talking with this lady I began to think of what an impact she has made and how this lady that I had never seen before knew about your Bethany. Bethany has changed so many lives of many people, especially me! Basically, I just wanted to let you know that her story has traveled to Jacksonville, Florida and I'm sure many more places! She lives on in the hearts of many others and she is watching over all of you! God Bless! You are in my prayers! <3

I am saddened by the news of your loss of Bethany. She was a very special girl and it was a privilege to be involved in her care. She did everything possible in battling her cancer, and she was a very lucky girl to have so much love and support from her family and friends...she definitely takes that with her.

I will keep you in my prayers and in my thoughts.

Thank you for sharing your family's journey with Bethany. Each of you has been an inspiration to many around the world and to me whom you have never met. What role models all of you and especially Bethany have been!

Your faith in God and the support of family and friends has shown what is truly important in life.

Embedded in my memory forever is your family picture and Bethany's beautiful smile inspite of all the adversites she faced.

Celebrating Bethany's life here and far way the next few days I know will be difficult but God and Bethany will be with all of you today and everyday.

As soon as I arrived at work today one of the staff members, who also lost her teenage son instantly a few years ago to a heart attack, told me that while driving in to work she had heard the DJs on 105.5 FM talking about Bethany!! They have a segment known as "Today in America" and Bethany was the featured "guest"! She said they told of Bethany's story of overcoming hardship and strife with a positive outlook that never gave up. They also mentioned her extraordinary family that inspired to so many people. Bethany's and your family's impact on the community continues to spread far and wide. What a legacy she has left behind!! It is not the number of years lived, but how they are lived that counts. That is what we will focus on as we celebrate a life SO WELL LIVED tonight. Today there are no footprints in the sand--God is carrying you.

I received a card yesterday that read..."There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere, and leaving it behind them when they go." This was so true of Bethany. She touched so many hearts here on earth, and I have no doubt that she will continue touching each and every angel in heaven. She has a gift. I was blessed to be a part of her journey--for that I am truly thankful. Bethany has taught my family to never give up and always look on the bright side of things, even if it seems hopeless. Bethany's determination, strength, optimisum, and FAITH helped her over these past years. Bethany will always be a part of my family. We will never forget.

Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake,

You all contributed to Bethany's strength, (although, I still believe that some of her strength came from those "HOT WINGS":) ), determination, FAITH, COURAGE and GRACE. She was truly blessed to have such a caring, fun loving, strong family life. You should be so proud--she learned from the best!

May you find peace over the next couple weeks. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers always.

We love you.

Buzynski Family,
I heard about your journey with Bethany from a friend at our church in Eleva, Wisconsin. I am so sorry for your loss. It is devastating to loose a chlld..we lost our 17 year old daughter four years ago. She had cancer as an infant and had been cancer free for fifteen years, so we thought she was safe, but she was killed in a traffic accident. You have many friends for support and you will get through this, but not over this. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during the days ahead. I have enclosed a poem our niece found when her mother died from lung cancer a year ago.
"The angels gathered near your bed, so very close to you. For they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through. We thought about so many things as we held tightly to your hand. Oh, how we wished that you were strong and happy again. But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky, where Jesus held his outstretched arms, it was time to say "good-bye". We struggled with our selfish thoughts for we wanted you to stay, so we could walk and talk again like we did - just like yesterday. But Jesus knew the answer and we knew He loved you so, so we gave to you life's gift - the gift of letting go!"
Again, our prayers are with your family.

Watching her face every obstacle with courage and that beautiful smile is something I will never forget. Bethany will live on in the hearts and memories of all of her friends. It was incredible to see all of the green shirts at school on Monday morning - she was loved very much! I am so sorry for your loss, but I know that she will be watching out for her family and friends from above.

We are Associate Members of St John Lutheran Church in Fairfield, PA .. we live in NYC but are seasonal residents at Granite Hill Campground in Gettysburg ... we joined St John several years ago and have met your family at several events at the Church. We were very sorry to hear of your loss from Missy. As St Paul said to Timothy in 2 Timothy 4:6-8 - "..the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day - and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing." You can find comfort in the Word; Bethany is with the Lord now, after her brave fight. We pray for your whole family and the prayers of our home church in NYC will be with you as well.

This time last year we lost our son. We received several cards and notes of condolence and encouragement from your family and we didn't even know who you were or how you knew about us. It was very touching. Now I have put 2 and 2 together and realize that you are Bethany's family who I've heard about so much over the last couple of years and that you've been going through your own sorrow and sadness. My heart is with you during this time of loss. I know how hard it is to lose a child. I know the journey of sadness, that even knowing she's now at peace and with her Savior, can't take away. I pray that that knowing these things are a comfort to you, even if it doesn't remove the pain; the hope of being together again someday, and forever.

All of you are amazing! Bethany is still living on through each of you with your amazing strength and attitude. I'm sorry it's taken me a few days to finally write, as I was waiting for the right words, but I don't think there ever is the right words to say. We want to let you know how much we love you all and think of you every day. Bethany was a special girl, a gift to all that either came in contact with her or read about her journey. She made a difference to so many people in these past 2 years! Her faith, determination, and can-do attitude is something for all of us to live by. I wish I was there to give you all a big hug and let you know how much we care. As always, we're here for anything you all need. Our prayers are with you always.

All our love,

I go to St Paul Luthern Church and was told about Bethany. I recently am cancer free from Ovarian Cancer and had my last chemo. I felt a connection with your daughter even though I didn't know her. I prayed for her, wept for her, prayed for your family. I pray the Lord carries you when you feel you cant take another step, sits by your side so you can lean on him, and gives you all a quiet peace in your heart. Peace be with you all.

We read this little poem and it certainly made us think of "our" Bethany and how she dealt with everything handed to her with GRACE.

I DO NOT ASK TO WALK SMOOTH PATHS NOR BEAR AN EASY LOAD.
I PRAY FOR STRENGTH AND FORTITUDE TO CLUMB THE ROCK STREWN

GIVE ME SUCH COURAGE AND I CAN SCALE THE HARDEST PEAKS

You don't know me. My names is Jan. I heard the story of Bethany through a friend, Jennifer Befundo,last Saturday night. It touched my heart. I asked her for the webpage info and her story has touched me so. What a fine example of a beautiful Christian young lady! You must be so saddened by this loss, yet so very proud of her life. She was obviously raised in a wonderful Christian home. This story of your family has really moved me and God truely speaks through you in a beautiful way. My prayers will be with you in the coming days, months and even years....for this story will not leave me.
Sincerely,

Buzynski Family,
Hi,
even thought we were at Nellis at the same time and knew alot of the same people I never got the oppertunity to meet your wonderful family. My husband is also from Fort Walton Beach, FL. and we were stationed at Hurlburt before. I was sent your web page by a good friend Chris still there in Vegas and have been following Bethany's journey for a couple weeks. You all have been in our thoughts and prayers constantly and I have passed your site onto people all over the world. I was so sad to hear that Bathany had passed, I know she is no longer in any pain and can do everything that she had been not been able to do for some time. My mom passed of cancer and as horrible as that was I know she is no longer in pain and in a better place and watches over me and my family.It is always much more difficult for those of us left behind. Your family has touched so may lives and will forever be an insperation for me personally. Your strength,faith and love for the Lord is beautiful. Bethany was an amazing girl and not only touched peoples lives while here on earth but she will continue to be a source of strengh and courage for many forever.Thank you for sharing your journey as painful as it was with others. Bethany was such a blessing and will continue to be.
God Bless you all,
Jim, Cheryl, Lacey & Jillian Ross

In Loving Memory...
God looked around His garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He knew that you were suffering. He knew that you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road getting rough and hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered "peace is thine" He put His arms around you and He lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautful, He only takes the best. If tears could build a stairway, and heartaches could make a lane, we'd walk a path to Heaven and bring you home to your family again.

Dear Buzynski Family,
I have never had the pleasure of meeting any of you, but I read about your beautiful daughter through a Beliefnet.com prayer circle after reading the daily scripture. I couldn't help, but to view the site. You all have touched my heart here in Louisiana. My prayers are with you all, and I know from seeing her beautiful smile as well as yours in pictures that this is truly a celebration of life, and for her Life Eternal, though we hurt during this time. Even as I type this note, a song called "I Am A Friend of God" is now on the radio. God always finds a way to comfort us, and His Love is amazing. Again my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Hello. I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I knew Lori a long time ago (she used to cut my hair at Imagemakers)...I remember her way back when the family was literally in its infancy. It is remarkable to me the strength, faith and devotion your family has shown through this very difficult time. I know in my heart, mind and soul that Bethany was a child of God, just as we all are, and He truly needed her to send a message to everyone how important it is to have a strong faith and relationship with Him. Please know you have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be there for the days to come. Please let me know if I can help in any way. Sincerely, Wanda Clapp

Dear Buzynski Family: What an inspiration your family, and especially Bethany, has been to everyone who has read her story and followed her through the good times and the bad. Her huge smile, even when she was down, made you realize that this young lady was truly sent by God to strengthen and nourish the many lives that she touched. Her up-beat attitude gave all who were following her story the hope and guidance that we all need to look at life for the positive things it brings - not the negative. I know she has touched our family greatly and at this time, we know that she is looking down at all of us wearing her Angel wings! God Bless You All for the strength you have shown us. You never gave up hope but when the time came - you sent Bethany off with grace to her new home where God has a special place and purpose for her.

Last week I received an e-mail regarding your family's journey over the last two years. I only had the chance to read the last few entries and then went and read the first couple entries as time did not permit me to read any more at that time. I just wanted to let you know I have a 15 year old and it is my prayers that my daughter will have the strength and spiritual determination in her life challenges that your daughter did. Your daughter and your family have been an inspiration to me. I know God has a special place in heaven for your daughter and has special plans for the rest of you left on this earth also. I pray that God's angels will lift you, your family, and friends during this time. God Bless All Of You

Dear Buzynski family,
Yesterday, I'm sure that Bethany looked down and saw all the lime green ribbons tied to the cars of all the students parked in the High School lot and trailing in the breeze as they left. I just wanted to let everyone know it was truly an inspirational signt, as you can imagine. If there was ever Fairfield pride, it is surely evident now as Bethany has put our little town on the globe. As the testimonials unfold, it is incredibly motivitating to witness how Bethany and your amazing family made such an impact on so many people following her legacy on this website. We all had so much to learn from such a strong young lady.
You are a very special family and I want to thank you as other people have mentioned for sharing her "journey" with us. We are, as you well know from all the outpouring of messages, thinking of all of you and have learned so much from your examples of what a family should be and how life should be lived.
Please know that many of us have a commitment to the High School musical Saturday night and therefore, cannot attend the "Celebration" at St. John's. Please know that our town will always celebrate her life and are proud that such a special family called Fairfield their home.
with love, Adie Wanrow

Hi everyone...I'm sitting at school in the library and I know there are other things I'm supposed to be doing but I can't seem to think of anything other than all of you. I just want ya'll to know that your faith and strength has inspired my life more than any of you could ever know. I've talked about Bethany and the courage of your family to everyone I see. I'm in awe of each of you and how you can still be so gracious and steadfast in your relationship with God. Thank you for touching the lives of so many of us. I can't explain how blessed I am to know all of you and to be able to consider you my friends. Bethany is experiencing joy that is unfathomable to any of us here on Earth. She's running and playing sports again. She is basking in God's light. She's got that beautiful curly hair and she's with all of our loved ones that have already gone. I wish she was still here so we could all be with her and see her spirit shine like it always has but she is SO happy that I can't help but smile everytime I think of her up in Heaven watching over all of us. You are all in my thoughts and prayers continually. Stay strong and enjoy your celebrations of Bethany's life because that's all she would want! I love you all very much

Dear Pete, Lori, Aarika, and Blake-
Because of Bethany: many of us complain a lot less,
hug our children a little tighter, don't take each God given day for granted, Pray a little harder, and realize the love of family. She was truly a BLESSING from God and we thank you- from the bottom of our hearts- for sharing her life and story with us.

Dear Buzynski Family,
My younger brother Dylan was a class mate of Bethany's. I never really realized how a person you didn't know could touch your heart, and help you to realize how sometimes in life we tend to take things for granted. One day after school, my family and I were eating at the dinner table and my brother brought Bethany's name up. He said " Lauren, all day today at school i was complaining about how my life was so awful. Then I went into class and met Bethany. She was so full of life and seemed so happy, even in her situation. And I thought, what am I complaining about? Here is a girl that has struggled and overcome so much and still thinks life is so gracious." I couldn't help but agree with him. As the last few months have gone by her name continued to come up in conversation. She helped me realize how life is so short and precious. Even now as I write this letter to all of you, I can't help but cry for her and all of you. I can't help but be jealous that she is in such a beutiful place right now. Bethany's life will give life to those in need. Her story will give hope to families in similar situations, and her vibrant smile will give my family and I, as well as others, the strength we might need for each passing day.
Love always and Forever,
Lauren Hoover

hey there buznyskis!

today i had a flash back of a day when i was at yalls house making your famous x-mas cookies with Lori Aarika and Bethany. haha i remember how aarika bethany and I were trying to mix together colors but weren't getting the results that we wanted. laughing at the "sunset yellow" and i think there was a watermelon red or something and we couldn't stop laughing at these names on the boxes. After awhile i looked around and realize bethany wasn't upstairs help making all these cookies. Lori I believe told me she thought she went down stairs, i was like heck no...she's not going to sneak out now and then eat our final product. I found her downstairs sleeping. I laughed at the sight and then jumped on her making her laugh and sream at the same time becuace I woke her up. hahaha. she started yelling for her mom-i can still her hear laugh from up stairs telling her that she was on her own on this one.

that was a day in a million that i was over there. I believe i was over there helping you make those oh so awesome cookies two years. today that flash back came to me..out of no where..and a smile came to my face

i'm so blessed to have known your daughter and to have your family as apart of mine! i wish you guys the best, and my thoughts remine to your family. i love you guys as apart of my family.

Hey Bethany,
I read all these entries and realize that nobody hardly writes to u. So here is what i have to say to u girl. u were truly loved by everyone in Fairfield. I know u can see us all right now and have to be saying why are u all crying. I will never forget the one time ur mom took u me and ellie to a soccer game because we didnt have a ride. Then on the way home we stopped at walmart. God what a blast. It is amazing, the short amount of time we had with u and how deeply we will love u forever. We couldnt have picked a better person to be friends with. We can only hope that we can be like u in every way. Amazing, stunning, gorgeous, and most of all outrageously courageous. You are such an inspiration to us all and we will never forget you. LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART FOREVER!!!!

Dear Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake,
My mother was given this poem by her pastor when my sister died in 1965.
I have kept a copy of it in a special box all these years. It makes me think of you and Bethany.
Aarika, your entry to your sister was so beautiful. I know she read it immediatley! She loved you soooo much! She will ALWAYS be by your side. My sister has been a part of my life every day and has inspired me in so many ways. Forty two years later I still have her pink bear in my bedroom and her picture on my refrigerator.
I am keeping all of you close in my heart and prayers.

"I'll lend you for a little time a child of mine," He said. For you to love the while she lives And mourn for when she's dead.

It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call her back, Take care of her for Me?

She'll bring hers smiles to gladden you, And should her stay be brief ,You'll have her lovely memories as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay, Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I've looked this whole world over, In search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd Life's lanes, I have selected you.

Now will you give her all your love, Nor count the labor vain, Nor hate Me when I come to call to bring her home again?"

I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done, For all the joy Thy child shall bring, The risk of grief we'll run

We'll shelter her with tenderness, We'll love her while we may, And for the happiness we've known Forever grateful stay.

But should the angels call for her Much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand."

All my love,
Michelle

Dear Buzynski Family,
My family would like to extend our sympathy to you as Bethany ends her time on earth to begin her eternal life in Heaven. We are friends of the Duffy's and we have been blessed to have known Bethany just through emails and pictures shared by you. The love and faith of your family is so amazing!! We are put on this earth to love and that is what Bethany and your family has given to so many.

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not boast. It is not proud, it is not rude; it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails...but the greatest of these is Love. Corinthians 13:4-8, 13
Thank you for your gift of love, Bethany.

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and suffering is over
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And he came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread
And with Jesus' arm to lean on
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's will.

There is still work waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth-
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is completed,
He will gently call you home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

- Unknown author

Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake~
I'm so sorry to hear about Bethany's passing... I'm sure if she could get a message to you it would be like the poem I have placed about this message. We know she is not suffering anymore. She's probably laughing and having a grand time, cancer free. I'm sure she's probably already made a bunch of new friends, too. We all will carry her close in our heart, until we meet again.
God Bless you All in your time of need...

Her strength amazes me as I read through all your notes...thank you for sharing her with us all! YOu have spread her love and her smile to everyone that reads one word.

Just for YOU pretty girl!..i miss you so so much..

I dreamed last night of Heaven
As I followed you there
I felt your presence, heard your heart,
I almost touched your hair.

I remember crying
Just because I missed you so
Though I was right behind you
I didn�t want you to go.

I begged for a reminder
To help me see your face
A thing to hold and touch
But it left an empty place.

I looked for you in everything
I asked for you by name
I know that you were with me there
I�ll never be the same.

I dreamed last night of Heaven
I ache for one more glimpse
Of the love I felt while near you
And the beautiful heart I miss.

Hey there sweetheart..im not sure if you will get around to reading this because you might be too busy eating those hot wings or drinking that icee..but I just wanted to let you know that i think about you constantly and i miss you more and more everytime you cross my mind! As selfish as it is to want you here w/ me so we can laugh and take dorky pictures, I know now that you are in a place where u dont have to hurt anymore and are able to do whatever you want! Bethany I know ive told you a time or two but im going to tell you again..you are not only my sister. YOU are my role model, my strength, my hero. I LOVE YOU GORGEOUS! Enjoy those angel wings baby girl--you deserve them..xoxo

For Bethany

Loaned to our world for such a short time
She scampered through our lives
Leaving indelible footprints in our hearts
And on our souls.

She is gone from us now,
But there is sunshine where she walked,
Music where she danced,
Joy where she smiled.

Tears and laughter bubble up
From the place she left in our hearts.

Dear Buzynski's

I count as a profound loss that I never met Bethany, but she has been part of my life ever since I first heard about her illness. Teaching Blake was a great reward, and I knew Bethany must be equally wonderful. As I've followed her voyage to heaven from her first discovery of the disease, I've seen her change more lives, more profoundly, than I've touched in years and years of teaching. Many of the other posts (wonderful loving letters) tell of how sure we all are that a new angel is looking out for us now. Yet, I have felt all along the the angel was down here among us.

Your faith, and hers; your cheerfulness, and hers, have gotten me through many crises small and large over the last couple of years. I can only imagine (although I've seen a small window from over in the elementary) how many others have drawn on that strength.

Many years ago I knew and lost a wonderful wheelchair bound child who taught me far more about joy and giving than any healthy child or adult ever will. Bethany was such a gift but to so many more.

May God continue to bless you all, with comfort and joy, since He must be so greatful that you have sent Him your beautiful angel.

Be with God all of you.

To Bethany's family,
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I think Bethany's greatest legacy may be that she pointed so many people to God when many people are not comfortable doing that. I mourn your loss with you, even though I didn't know her personally. The Bible says that "to be absent in body is to be present with the Lord". How good it is to think of your precious girl in the presence of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. May He give you peace, comfort and strength for the days ahead.

I just want to say that it was truly a blessing to have known bethany! she was a bright, beautiful, good hearted young lady! she has taught me so many things in life; to never take things for granted, live everyday as if it were your last, always be true to yourself, and work your hardest, and NEVER GIVE UP! I miss her dearly, along with the whole town of fairfield! especially that warm smile that she would give everyone when she entered the room!Now she is watching over you, and protecting you! even though she isnt with us now, she will always be in our hearts and prayers. She was a very strong girl and she was sent here as and angel, and left as an angel!

Im praying for you family to get through this rough time.. but bethany would want you guys to still smile.. im sure it would be great to look down, and see her family smiling knowing she is in a happy, good place!
she will be remembered, and never forgotten.. she was a wonderful friend, and never gave up in anything!
Love,

BethanyKristine. <3
-the most amazing person that i have ever had the privelege to know. no matter what happened she still had that beautiful smile on her face. she was the most gorgeous girl, and had the kindest heart. I know that i sure couldn't have endured what she went through, there is no way..i would have given up. we all know that if one person had to be chosen for the journey..why this perfect, amazing woman? all i know is she taught me so much and that i am not the only one that feels fortunate from her presence, courage and unfailing faith. everyone who knew bethany knew that she was put on this earth to teach us about the way we should be living our lives. she was truly a gift from god to the rest of us, there is no other explaination. we should all feel blessed to have known her, she was an angel before she recieved her wings.

Dear Buzynski family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. There is now a new angel in Heaven that will be watching over you. Her journey was shared with all close to her, and for that, many will be able to accept Bethany's passing in a positive way. She is no longer fighting, and can now rest at peace. I have been amazed at your strength, and must say that you have given Bethany the upmost dignity during this process. Love to you all.

What a wonderful gift that Bethany has given to all who knew her. She touched and changed countless lives with her loving smile, her sense of humor, and her incredible zest for life. She lived in the moment, and lived life to the fullest. I am amazed that so many lives were touched by one person, and yet it all makes sense. She was truly a gift to all who knew her, and she gave each one of us our own unique personal gift that we will cherish forever. I will NEVER forget Bethany, her sweet smile, and her love of life. I am blessed beyond what I can express with words. Thank God for giving us the time we had with Bethany. She is a beautiful smiling angel now.

Dear Buzynski Family,

I know your days are filled unbelievable grief. I too felt that pain when I lost my dad and still miss him terribly. I was so grateful for the gift of being with him holding his hand when he passed. I have since held on to that and knew that was a blessing that has helped me get through the last 2 years. I know you all must be grateful for those last moment you were able to be together. What a gift you gave Bethany as well, letting her know it was ok to go be with God now and that you would all be ok. My dad felt such peace and was ready to go meet God, as I'm sure Bethany was as well. Just remember Bethany may be gone in body but her spirit is all around you!! Continue talking to her and sharing your special moments with her she will hear you!!!!

I just wanted you all to know you are still in my thoughts and prayers today and forever. Your strong faith will carry you through this!! God bless you!!!

As I sit here in Fairfield with snow all around I am reminded of the PURE PERFECTION Bethany is surround by right now. It is an awesome thought!!

Bethany was used by GOD here on earth to show the rest of us strength, hope, courage and love. She was truly a child of GOD, as we all are. He just has bigger plans for some us. Until we meet again Bethany!

Then I heard a loud voice from the throne:

Look! God�s dwelling is with men,

and He will live with them.

They will be His people,

and God Himself will be with them and be their God.

4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Death will exist no longer;

grief, crying, and pain will exist no longer,

because the previous things have passed away.

5 Then the One seated on the throne said, �Look! I am making everything new.� He also said, �Write, because these words are faithful and true.� 6 And He said to me, �It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give to the thirsty from the spring of living water as a gift. 7 The victor will inherit these things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. 8Rev 21:3-8 (HCSB)

My name is Rev. Terri Hart Hunter and I attend Calvary Chapel Emerald Coast. I just saw the prayer request for your family. My ministry is to grieving families and I officiate at funerals all the time to people who have no pastor. I always point them to the Lord and His Greater Presence, fact that there is Another Day and Another Time! I know that you are very much aware that Bethany is with Jesus now!!!! What a victory! When I preached my Dad's funeral this past September, I envied him! He is with my Lord!!!! I could let him go because I knew he loved and served his Lord!!!! Let the Lord bring joy to your weeping!!!!! He will you know!!!!

I feel like we are all family. You have been part of our prayer life for over 2 years. The final miracle that we all prayed for was not given, but God did give you many miracles in the last two years in many forms like good scans, helping hands and many many smiles from Bethany over the past two years, who always said I'm gonna be okay...............
We express our sympathy to all of you and will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers as you take a new journey with an ache in all of your hearts. Hold on the your homecoming day when all of you will be together again, never to be separated or have pain or cry sad tears.We had the honor of knowing an angel called Bethany, who now lives in Heaven free of cancer, free of pain, free of sadness. What a glorious homecoming we have to look forward to. God Bless each and everyone of you. He will hold you in the palm of His hand as He has promised all of us.

Dear Buzynski Family:
Where do we even begin to express to you how much Bethany touched our lives and the lives of so many others in such a positive way. When we became acquainted as neighbors in Fairfield and then Bethany was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, we told you that you were "officially" part of our family forever and ever. Whether near or far you will always remain a part of our family. We also recall telling you that Bethany was going to be our "miracle." Although it was not a miracle of healing here on earth, she certainly performed many miracles by showing multitudes of people what it meant to BELIEVE, to have COURAGE and STRENGTH, to NEVER GIVE UP, and to accept with GRACE that which had been given her.

As we reflected back on Bethany's Sweet 16 birthday party, we couldn't help but think that we were given the privilege of spending that special day with her. And, the day she received her wings (March 16) was my (Jan's) Mother's birthday. Not only was my Mother opening the gate in the picket fence of her little white cottage in Heaven, but she invited Bethany to come help her celebrate her birthday! We are sure they had lots of things to talk about and share.

Our lives have been touched in such a positive, permanent way by Bethany Kristine and for that we are eternally grateful. God Be with You, Lori, Pete, Aarika and Blake.

I am sitting here with tears rolling down my face having heard the news about Bethany's passing. I know she was happy here on earth and will be happy in heaven with God. I KNOW Bethany was here on earth for a special purpose. She was such a young girl to have inspired so many people in just a short time. She inspired us all by her incredible faith, courage, sense of humor and zest for life. Bethany never gave up her fight. She was so courageous. Fighting this disease over the last few years never stopped Bethany. She carried on with strength, dignity and courage, always thinking positive. I know my sister, brother-in-law, and niece will cherish their time spent with Bethany and your whole family last week, forever. Words cannot really express what I am feeling in my heart. Our lives have been touched in a special way by your whole family.
God has welcomed his newest angel with open arms. I know God will give you strength to carry you through these coming days and weeks. Know that you are surrounded with love thru your family, friends and even strangers. I know Bethany is looking down on you and smiling. She knows she was loved and is loved and she is at peace. Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake; you have shown such strength, dignity and grace throughout these last few years in the way you carried on and in the way you also gave Bethany her strength and courage. We will carry Bethany in our hearts forever.

Many years ago we were all on a camping trip and it was Bethany's birthday...9th I think...and Alec (who was 6 at the time) wanted to give her something special. He had such a big crush on her...she was so cute and perky, full of life, and those beautiful dimples...how could he resist? All he wanted that day was to give her a kiss. She let him give her a peck on the cheek...he was all smiles for hours! Little did he know that his first crush, and kiss, was on an angel in the works!

Thank you so much for sharing Bethany with us, and for being such a wonderful family. You all have touched so many lives during the journey of the past 2 years, and in all of the years before. You have lived with such dignity, grace, and inspiration...you have taught each and every one of us lessons that we will never forget. We are all better people for having known you.

We will carry Bethany in our hearts forever...

Pete. Lori, Erica, and Blake,

It is with a heavy heart that I type this message to you. The mood of the day is a little darker but the brightness in the sky has gotten brighter because of the newest angel's smile that is looking upon all of us but especially toward her family. Bethany ended her journey here on earth but her path in heaven is just beginning. Just as she did here she will be sure to gather all angels around her and make many new angel friends and beloved by many. She will be your own private guardian angel and give you the strength and comfort to get through these very trying next few days. It was my pleasure to have your daughter as a small part of my life and to have known such a wonderful young lady. May the Lord continue to wrap you in his arms and bring peace to you as a family now that the pain and suffering has ended. The next time a door blows open or closed just tell yourself it is Bethany letting you know she is still a part of your home and will be for ever. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. The world is a better place because we had the opportunity to know your daughter and your family. May comfort and peace come to you in this time of sorrow.

Dear Pete, Lori, and family,
My prayers are with all of you. While Bethany is in a better place, you must be missing her so much. Her guestbook is such a testament to who she is and what a great family you have. You must burst with pride when you think of all she gave to so many people. It overwhelms me when I read all that her friends and relatives have written about her many, many special qualities. She was definitely placed here on earth for a special purpose and to be her parents must have been such a joy.

Dear Buzynski Family,
I am saddened for the loss of Bethany. I know I was just one of the many nurses that cared for her, but she really shined and took a special place in my heart. I will always keep that beautiful Winnie the Pooh blanket that your family made for me. I will think of your family in the days to come, and will have fond memories of your daughter forever. Thank you for allowing me to care for your precious daughter and allowing me to meet one of the most beautiful people to grace my life.

Hello Bethany!

This is the way I would start all of my post...and wouldn't want to start it any other way today. My heart is full of sadness and joy. Sadness for all of the loved ones that Bethany has left behind, but so full of joy to know that Bethany is no longer suffering and is now in her heavenly home. We will carry Bethany with us for the rest of our lives. Her spirit will live on through us who knew her and we will all live better because we were lucky enough to have known a girl with such a positive personality. Bethany is already in God's loving care and now I pray that Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake are kept in his loving care for the days, years, and decades to come. May you all find peace and comfort in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Take Care,
Mrs. Forney :)

Rest in peace Bethany!
We love you so much, it would be selfish of us to wish you were here again. You are in a much better place than we would ever know. I do know one thing, when you entered the room it lite up with joy and happiness. You turned so many lives everywhere you went. So ironic the date you entered heaven would be 3:16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,but have everlasting life. We love you so much, we can't say it enough. Rest in peace Bee.

We are sad to hear the news about our Bethany, I beleive she is in a better place now. She has been through alot the past 2 years and it is time for her to have some fun. I bet she has already made alot of friends with her bubbly personality everyone is going to want her for there very best friend. Kelsi is still having a hard time beleiving she is gone. I told her we will all be together again at some point and they can play softball again like they did when they were little. Bethany say hi to Brett and I hope you both have a great birthday together.
We love you and will be seeing you again.

In her short life Bethany has touched so many lives and has changed them forever. She has shown more strength and courage then any person we have ever met. Though we are glad that she is at peace and no longer suffering the saddness we feel is overwhelming. We continue to keep all of you in our prayers and we know that there is a new angel in heaven with a beautiful smile watching over you.

Hi guys
I just recieved the news about Bethany and cant believe that it is true. I am so sorry to hear about her and I am in a state of shock right now. I am so lucky to have known such an amazing girl. One question keeps running through my mind.... Why her? Then i think about and say why not her. she handled it with such grace and didnt ever seem negative about it. She was never worried about what would happen to her and she never really talked to us about it. I am so sorry that this has happened to your family and my heart goes out to you guys. We will never forget what an amazing girl Bethany was and how lucky we were to be friends with such an stunning, amazing young woman she was.
tons of love

We are all sharing your tears of sorrow and joy. Bethany is such a unique individual, it is impossible not to smile when thinking of her. If only all of us could be somewhat like Bethany, the world would be a better place. Her courage, sense of humor and strength are so inspirational. We love all of you and pray for you.
In peace,

P.S.: Linden says she already misses Bethany and plans to put the picture of the two of them in her room, instead of her photo album. That way she can look at her every day.

We are so sorry to hear about Bethany's passing. Our loss is definitely heavens gain. One of the best things about being a christian is the promise that we will see her again. She is free from her pain and suffering. She has already made many new friends in heaven I'm sure. You have so much to be proud of. Bethany was such a ray of sunshine here on earth. The world was a brighter place with her in it. She will never be forgotten. Now the burden is on us to live our lives as completely and fully as she did. She touched so many people's hearts. She was so very special. We love you guys.

We can not even begin to imagine the pain of losing a child. So we can only pray to God SOOOOOOOOO hard to help you and your entire family during this dificult time. May he watch over you during the healing. We know that your child is with him and will no longer suffer. She is now his most Shinning Angel. He holds her in his arms and will keep her there until one day we will all be with her again.
Please hold each other in your arms as he has her and continue to LOVE each other as you have always done. God bless you and keep you united, strong and full of nothing but love and beautiful memories of your sweet angel.

But God has a better use for Bethany with him. The worst part of dying is those left behind....because I truely believe heaven is a much better place...no more suffering & pain. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers as well as many others. Now is the time to really lean on family & friends & know they are there for you. My DEEPEST sympathies!!

Pete, Lori, Aarika, and Blake. There are no magic words that I can say that will take all the pain away. But I can say that God is good... all the time. 1 Peter 4:19 says that whosoever suffers according to will of God should submit the keeping of their souls to Him as unto a faithful Creator. God knows what He is doing and whatever is in His will will ultimately be done. Bethany has brought so much glory to Him and she finished well. I have seen so many lives transformed by hearing about Bethany's strength and great faith to her God. The ultimate and Holy God. Mine included. I want to thank you as a family at your faithfulness to Him as well. I hope this helps in any way that it can. I love you guys and I promise that I am praying for you... eyeryday. Love ya!!!

God speed in your new home, Bethany.

Lori, Pete, Aarika, and Blake, I am so sorry about your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how you feel or how much you must miss her, but it is good to think of Bethany not in pain anymore. I know I could not have faced any of this with the same light and courage that Bethany did; even to those of us who knew her only through your website, she was very clearly a very special human being.

Everyone here is so inspired by your family's incredible faith and grace during these last difficult days. You are all truly an model for each of us in how we should live each day - treasuring all that could possibly be good in a moment and smiling through the bad. Earlier today, I cried through your afternoon posting but took it to heart and told those I care about how much I loved them.

I hope that your love and amazing faith and optimism will help you make it through the days ahead as a family; know that we will all still be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Love, prayers, and sympathy from California,

To Lori, Pete, Aairka & Blake: My heart goes out to you all at the news of Bethany's passing and I know there are no words that can truly comfort you at this time. The loss of a child is truly the most devastating pain a parent ever has to bear and when that child has gone through what Bethany endured, it is doubly traumatic. The same is true about losing a beloved sister. Yet even so, I am certain that you have witnessed one of the few miracles that we humans get to see and that is the "gift" that Bethany has given to so many that know her or come to know of her through friends and this guestbook by following her story these past 2 and ahalf years. Bethany has been such an inspiration to so many people - some she has never seen or known, like myself. Yet I feel I've come to know her or of her character from just the comments so many friends and family have shared in this journal. I have sensed her terrific strength that she has shown throughout her journey when faced with such terrible pain herself, yet she remembered to think of others and kept herself "up" for the sake of others. She shared her wonderful heart, which seemed as big as a mountain, with everyone she came in contact with according to what I have learned of her from friends and from reading this journal. She has brought others to Christ through the witness of her belief in God by living her life as a testimony of her faith and in the way she handled her illness with dignity and grace that only a true Child of God can do. When the end approached and the Angels of God gathered around her, you were all blessed to be in their presence as they lifted your beautiful daughter and sister from her earthly mantel and escorted your angel, your Bethany, now whole again, to her Heavenly home. I am so sure that as they lifted her to her new legs that she was smiling that big, beautiful smile that everyone loved as she gently kissed each of you one more time before she turned to take the first step of her new journey and that she wished you all well until you meet once more at Heaven's gate. That is one of the most marvelous blessings we have as Christians -- knowing that we never lose a loved one who is a child of God, as we will be together again one day with Him. I thank God for being allowed to share yours and Bethany's journey from afar and am in awe of your whole family and the inspiration you all have been to so many. God bless you all and may the good Lord give you peace in knowing that Bethany is walking in the streets of Heaven with all the saints that have gone on before her and that she will never grow old nor ever be sick again.

Dear Lori and Pete,
Nothing can express how trully sorry we are for your loss. Bethany was a true inspiration. Just the other night Nathan and I were talking about the first day we met her. I can see it in my mind as if it were just yesterday...her with her long wavy hair and that huge smile that she always had. It was at your house during a flight party. She took Elisabeth with her to her room and made her day. Elisabeth felt like such a big girl. She talked about everything her and Bethany did for days. Bethany had a way of brightening a room when she walked in. She was a beautiful combination of two beautiful people. I can understand why God would want her by his side. I believe that he has a very special place and plan for her. I can only imagine how dificult this is for you guys but know that you created such a special person who touched everyone she met in an unforgetable way. Stay strong. You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. We miss you.

As everyone else has said, Bethany is in a better place, cancer free and pain free! I am so happy for her, I know she is at peace now. My heart breaks for you Lori, Pete, Aairka & Blake. Please know that I will be praying for comfort and strength for all of you. Bethany's beautiful smile and positive attitude will forever live in my heart.

I first read about Bethany about 2 1/2 hours ago.... and i am just now writing about her. That is how long it has taken it to really sink in that she's gone.... that she is not with us anymore. and that we won't be with her for quite some time, if our fate is any better than her's anyway. Thinking of this, of her, made me remember what an amazing person she was and how lucky i am to have known her. She was the nicest most caring person i will ever meet and she never had a bad thing to say about anyone. She wore a smile in the saddest and most frightening of times. She saw a light in a tunnel of darkness that convinced her to believe that she had the power to survive. And since she saw that light, she became the light and guided everyone else, her family, friends, and peirs. She gave everyone hope, when they thought there was none to be found. She was the most amazing person that has ever lived. Once i read about her passing all of these thoughts rushed into my head and swarmed my thoughts, and they continued to swarm and rush through my head until i came to a single question..... "Why Her?" Then i realized that all of those reasons -- being kind, being a light, fighting for hope, respecting others, always having the most positive outlook on everything live has to give -- all of them WERE the reason for her passing. Everyone knows the saying "Sometimes you just don't know what you have until it's gone"... well bethany let us know what we didn't have before it was gone. She did this by being the example. The biggest thing i have to regret is that i only started to notice every single one of her gifts after she was diagnosed. I think that is what happened to everyone... and in turn it made us all that much stronger, and that much better people. We owe so much to her. And i thank her for giving her life to show us what a truely good person should be like...

That big, bright, warm smile lit up the room and it was always a pleasure to see her. We will always have a place in our hearts for her. Your family has been such an inspiration to us. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to meet someone so special, as Bethany.

I am so sorry to hear that Bethany is no longer on this earth with you but she will remain in your hearts forever. When I read your post earlier, I was struck by the incredible sense of peace you seemed to have. Even to pray for her to have a peaceful end demonstrated your amazing love and strength. I have thought so many times over these last few days while reading your journal and guestbook, "Could I possibly have the same strength?" I am not so sure I could. Your faith is absolutely amazing. Even though you know Bethany is no longer suffering, and is now running around heaven playing softball, with both of her legs, you will still hurt and miss her terribly! My family lost my sister almost 16 years ago, and we know that she went to a better place but we still miss her terribly! But we do know that we will see her again someday! Thank you so much for sharing Bethany's story with us and being so open and honest. You have touched many, many lives. Bethany is a beautiful girl, a princess, a daughter of the King, and as much as you love her, God loves her even more. Hard to imagine!
Bethany, you dear, sweet, beautiful girl! Thank you so much for touching my life. I cherish everyday a little bit more and hold my girls just a little tighter! I was truly inspired by your life and the way you lived it!! OH! Please tell my sister HI for me! Her name is Angela. I am sure she will be happy to show you around!! She is bubbly and energetic just like you and loves to talk!!
You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

Bethany was such a beautiful young woman who brought so much joy to everyone she met. It was such an honor to be one of her nurses and to have known the gift of her spirit. Bethany will always have a special place in my heart as will you Pete and Lori. I know that God hand picked the two of you to be her parents because of the faith, love and joy you could give her.
I know several very special angles that I know will welcome Bethany into heaven along with our Lord. Bethany will be watching over you all to give you the strength and love you need to heal.She touched so many lives that her spirit and will live on forever. And Love never dies.
My love and prayers go out to you and your entire family.
May peace and the grace of God always be with you.

Dear Pete and Lori,

We have been quietly watching, earnestly praying, and desperately hoping for miracles, comfort, and finally peace for Bethany and your family. We are so sorry for your family's loss. All three of your children are incredibly wonderful, special people. We hope you find some comfort as you gaze at the loving faces that remain around you, knowing that Bethany is always near- in your hearts, minds, and souls. Lori, Bethany lived within you before birth, and we're sure you'll always feel her with you now.
We never knew angels were so beautiful, so courageous, or so strong. Bethany shared her strength with everyone who looked in on her journey, and we hope it will help carry you through this sorrowful part of your journey.
We think of you daily. Our kids send warm thoughts and concern to Aarika and Blake. We hope they find much joy in the future.
I'm sure if you look down now, you'll only see one set of footprints in the sand.

With sympathy to your family and joy in Bethany's new beginning,

My Dear Buzynsky Family,
I know so many of us send all our heartfelt love to you especially at this time. I know each of you misses Bethany an indescribable amount already!
Blake, I know you could always make me laugh!!! I hope you remember that love of family and laughter will help heal all that stuff inside that feels so sore now.
I don't know if it helps, but the following passage is something I turn to when I lose one I love. I hope it helps a tiny bit.

"I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the evening breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength! I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a spec of white just where the sea and the sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, 'There. She is gone.' But gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull as she was when she left my side. She is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There. She is gone,' there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout ~ 'HERE SHE COMES!'"

I believe someone is so happy to see her right now! I'm sure you do, too!
With all my heart,

The first time I saw Bethany she was strutting onto the softball field. She had this rolling gait, almost a swagger. She seemed so absolutely sure of her abilities that she really caught my eye. She was as talented as she believed herself to be. On the field or in the dugout, she could do no wrong. But she was more than just a good ball player, Bethany always had an encouraging word to say or a smile for my older daughter, Ellie. And always showed patience and kindness to my younger daughter, her "bat girl" Carrie. When she was first stricken with this horrendous disease, she handled herself with that same self-confidence she showed on the ball field. If anyone could stand up to this fate, it would be Bethany. She fought so many battles since then. So many times a weaker spirit would have been broken. But not Bethany. She was a shining spirit of hope touching all of us with her strength and dignity.

Hello, I am a friend of the Pattersons, who I know were very close to Bethany and her family. From what I have heard about Bethany, I know she must have been a special person. I want to offer my sympathy and prayers for strength during this difficult time. Just remember the Lord has made a special place for her in heaven. I will continue to pray for all of you.

How proud you must be of your angel. To have touched so many lives so positively at such a young age is miraculous in itself. So many people will always be inspired by her faith, her courage & her beautiful smile.
My heart breaks for your family. Bethany is now pain-free in God's hands and will always live in your hearts and watch over you. I wish your family peace and know that Fairfield is still praying for God's comfort for you all.

Hi everyone. It's about 11pm right now in Fairfield, and I was watching the 4th Harry Potter movie when my brother told me the news about Bethany. At first, I was too numb with shock to reply. Now, I think I've found the words to describe what's going through my head. I didn't really know Bethany all that well. She was two years younger than me, and though we played on the same softball team for a few years, we didn't run in the same circle of friends, so I didn't talk to her or Aarika too much. I could see, however, that she was a truly wonderful girl, and that's not something I say very lightly. I could tell right away that she had a gift -- a gift for making friends, and for always finding the good in everything and everyone. As my brother said, "You could have been the nastiest person in the world, and she still would have been nice to you." And it's true. No matter how bad things got, Bethany always found hope, joy, and love in the world, and never said a resentful word towards anyone.
I've realized now that, although it may sound a little tacky to say it, Bethany is, in a way, like Harry Potter. She was the most caring and amiable person I've ever met, and in the middle of her prime, she was thrust into a horrible fate, one that she did not deserve. Yet, although more suffering lurked around every corner, she never lost faith, never stopped fighting. Even though she could see the future getting steadily worse, she never stopped believing that things would somehow turn out for the better.
And, in spite of everything that's happened, you know what?
They did.
Bethany, if you can hear me, even though you didn't really know me... I love you, and I'll miss you. Rest in peace, girl. <3

To Bethany's family,
May the Lord hold you in his arms during this difficult time, I recently heard of Bethany's journey... I am saddened because she was so young and beautiful and yet I feel blessed to have had her for a student and to read about her strength and your undying belief in the Lord. My prayers will be with you during this difficult time.

Pete, Lori, Aarika & Blake,
Thank you so much for sharing Bethany with all of us. We did so much together for so many years that we have so many wonderful memories which we are so grateful for and Bethany is a huge part of them. Her smile, determination (or as we called it stubborness at the time), and personality will all be missed but we will see it again someday and we know that in the meantime she is smiling down on us all and yes, we are all being "ball babies" but at the same time smiling through the tears at the wonderful memories she has left us with. She will be very missed but she will always be a guardian angel over all of our shoulders (she's going to be one busy angel with all of the people who she touched in her life). We love you all and wish we could give you all a hug. Stay strong "together" just as Bethany would want you to do. God has chosen a wonderful person as his newest angel.
Love to you all,
Chuck, Toni, Ryan & Tyler

Dear Lori, Pete, Aarika, & Blake,

Colleen just called me and told me that Bethany has passed on. My heart is broken for you and your extended family!! I know the pain of losing a loved one but to lose a child, sister is pain on a whole other level. I know you are at peace knowing she is no longer living with pain but that does not mean the pain of missing her is any less.

I always thought you were a wonderful family when I knew you out here in Vegas. Now I am humbled by the love and strength your family has shown. Reading your journal updates and the guest book, we all realize what an amazing young lady Bethany was. I wish I would have had the chance to know her. I know when a crisis strikes my family, I will remember this and hope that I can be half as strong as Bethany.

Sweet Bethany you touched me so deeply with your strength, courage and that beautiful smile. May you rest in peace and have eternal life with God!!! God obviously has bigger plans for you and saw what an Angel you were here on earth.

Lori and Pete, thank you for sharing your story, Bethany's journey with all of us. I know that couldn't have been easy. My heart goes out to you all!!!!!!!

From the very beginning she was a feisty little girl who brought laughter to everyone around her and she completed her earthly journey in the same way. Thank you all for sharing the past two and a half years with so many people. Bethany is one of a kind and she will live in our hearts forever. All of you are a testament to the strength God will give you if you lean on Him. You are amazing and we love you all. We will see you soon.

To the Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake, may you have comfort knowing Bethany is no longer suffering...your strength taught your daughter how to be strong, how could she lose with that, she is watching you now, making sure you make it through this...as we all know you will. Keep strong, we all feel this and are being the ball babies she probably does not want, however we get to do that much to show we care, love and miss her too. I feel honored to be a part of such a giving young ladies life and a family I will cherish and hope one day I have as much love, strength and faith as you have shared. Gods love touch each of you and carry you through this now and to all of her friends, celebrate that she is running, laughing and enjoying life once again. Rest in peace you beautiful young sweet woman...Bethany.

I am so sorry to learn that Bethany has completed her journey here on earth. Thank you for sharing Bethany's and your journey. I'm not saying anything you don't already know, but I have to say it anyway ... Bethany is an amazing young lady. Bethany and your family are living witness to God's love! You have brought such inspiration, faith and strength to so many. I have been sharing Bethany's journey with my church family. Bethany, your family and her friends have been an inspiration! She was God's grace on earth! You're right; now is her time to be well in heaven. Her strength on earth was tremendous; I hope the knowledge that she is watching over your family and friends brings you some peace.

Bethany was a wonderful girl, one of the most cheerful inspiring people I ever met, and although I'm really upset right now, I'm glad she isn't suffering any longer. I wasn't one of her best friends, but I did have classes with her, and we were also in basketball together. She was always there to talk if you needed her. She was a great person overall, her personality, her smile, and the ability to make the best of things even when she was in a horrible situation. I deffinitely won't forget her and I know anyone who has ever met her won't either. She touched hundreds, maybe thousands of lives and She will be missed.

Words cannot express what I feel for your family at this moment. I am happy that Bethany is with God and is in no more pain. I am sad knowing that I will not see her again until we meet in heaven.

I will never forget her wonderful smile, upbeat attitude, and beautiful spirit. She was the most loved person in Fairfield and will continue to be forever.

I know many will be saying this to your family but please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. We love you all and will continue to pray for you in your time of need.

Psalm 23:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures
He leads me beside still waters
He restores my soul
In the paths of righteousness He leads,
For His own name's sake

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
For you are with me
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me

You prepare me a table in the sight of my foes
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
---

May God hold you in the palm of his hand now. Bethany, I love you and I will forever look to the heavens and smile knowing that you are there. You have many more souls to touch now....and we will see you again in heaven.

All my love to our angel Bethany and to the whole Buzynski family and friends both near and far,

Hey guys... I am sitting here smiling through my tears. Your whole family has been such a blessing to us.

Please remind Bethany how much Campbell loved having her as his babysitter!

Tell her that my Beth got so much strength for her own journey from Bethany...her grace, her attitude, her willingness to smile and keep going no matter what. Bethany has touched her.

Also, please tell Bethany to look up my mom, Helen, when she gets to Heaven. She will take good care of her.

We love you all so very much and words cannot say how much we appreciate you're sharing your family with us.

I don't know what else to say.... we're here for you.

Bethany and family,
I feel so close to all of you i read this everyday and i was worried when you hadn't posted in a few days I know that i am only 19 and may not totally understand but when i read todays entry and when alise talks to me my heart just hurts my chest feels like bricks are on it! I can't explain it and i don't know why but it does. I know at this point there is nothing I can do but if I could tell Bethany something I would tell her that she was like my guardian angel here on earth and I know she probably worries about her family when she leaves but I want her to know i'll look after alise and her family! and as for bethany and her family this song reminds me of you and I wish you the best please let me know if there is anything i can do!! And I know this much even if she can't say it bethany loves you all very much!!! ALL MY LOVE!

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you want to go,
and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

Bethany,

In knowing you just a few short years, you have made an impression on so many that will last far beyond your years. Your life has been NOTHING short of a miracle. You have lived, loved, and cared for all, giving so much of yourself to others.

I can remember the first day that I met you at Confirmation class at St. John. Your smile lit up the room. Your friends thrived on your positive energy and attitude; as I believe they do today and will continue to forever.

In reading your friend's and family's postings, it is clear you are one VERY loved young lady. You have impacted the lives of SO many in uncountable ways. We've prayed daily for your healing and firmly believe that God has provided you with a special gift. It's the rest of us who may not quite fully understand.

We will continue to pray for your family as they continue to travel through the days ahead. The strength that your family continues to share with the rest of us is humbling in itself.

YOU are the guardian angel that we await to watch over us. Your life will NEVER be forgotten in the hearts of those of us back home and across the spanse of the globe. You've stretched out your hand to touch hearts far and wide! Thank you for sharing your gift of life with us.

Pete, Lori, Aarika, and Blake, we are thinking of you daily. Keep your strong faith, as this is part of God's gift allowing your lovely daughter to live on in your hearts and lives forever.

May the peace of the Lord be with you today and always.

Bethany and family, we love you and are with you in prayer.

I just heard that Our Bethany received her wings. My heart is very grieved, but my soul is ever joyful, for now she is whole again, free of pain and suffering. I will always remember her as the beautiful girl who didn't give up, but kept fighting, to the end. May God cradle her in his love, eternally. I pray for comfort for you, her remaining family. I know, you know, you will all see her again, for she has only gone to rest high on the mountain.

We believe your life has truly honored God. When you meet him he is surely going to greet you as his good and faithful daughter!! I saw a church sign the other day that said,"Goodbyes are for Earth, but Reunions are for Heaven." Say hello to Aaron's sister, and all those who have gone before us. We will all be together again! We love you, Bethany!! Mark, Lori, Adam, and Aaron

Our nephew recently reminded us that God knows what it is like to lose a child. May His peace be with you.

Bethany, you are the strongest person I will ever know. Thank you so much for your testimony. You have brought so much glory to God and I have seen personally the transformation of people's lives because of your strength. I love you and your family and I know I will see you again in Heaven. The Bible says that Heaven is the most beautiful place that He has ever made. There will be streets of gold, gates of pearl, and the only light will be God's glory. That is the only light that we will ever need. Philipians 1:20-21.

Dear Bethany and Buzynski Famil,

I have been reading the updates and praying regularly for you all. I can only imagine what you are feeling. Having lost loved ones, officiated at funerals, and counseled many others through difficult times still doesn't stop my heart from hurting when I know of and watch a painful experience. I am so thankful that I got to see your wonderful smile, Bethany, and to sence your peace with God.

Your life has touched so many others. It is a happy read when I see that others have come to Christ because of your faith. At the time when you join the many others in Heaven there will be both sorrow and rejoicing here on earth. Those close to you will sorrow the most but rejoice the most too. The rest of us will sorrow and rejoice in the promises of Jesus that you are with Him.

May you continue to rest in His EVERLASTING arms and welcome the rest of us as we come. It will be wonderful to get to know you better and share the joy of the Lord.

God Bless you all,

Hi Bethany,

We want you to know what a special person you are. You have touched the lives of so many in such a great way. I want you to know how much you are loved! When I first met you, the thing that stood out the most was that big beautiful smile of yours. You are a beautiful person inside and out and you have been blessed to have such a wonderful family. We have been blessed to know you! You have given us the greatest gift - knowing you!! When the time comes for you to go to Heaven, I want you to look up my grandmother Charlotte who will make you the best apple pie you ever had! Or anything else you want - she spoiled us and now she can spoil you! There are so many people there waiting to take care of you. And there are so many people here that will take care of your mom & dad, and Aarika and Blake. Allison still has the big stuffed "dog bear" (as she calls it) and has now named it "Mr. Fluffers". She said she will take care of it for you. Bethany, words alone can not describe what an impact you have had on so many of us. You are a caring, loving, compasionate person and I know that you will be at peace at a happy place. When I told the girls that you may go to heaven and that it's the greatest place on earth - Amanda said "I thought Dutch Wonderland was". Where you're going will be a Dutch Wonderland, a softball field, volleyball court, Ventura's, (with lots of your favorite wings) your favorite vacation spot and so much more. God will take good care of you!

We love you so much Bethany!!

All our love,

"Our" Buzynski family,

Leaving Bethany and her family Wednesday, was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. But yet, deep down I know in my heart, that Bethany is going to be with God and will be whole once again--pain free and smiling her BEAUTIFUL and BREATHTAKING smile that we have had the great pleasure of enjoying. Like I said before, it is unfortunate that a "Miracle" hasn't wrapped its arms around Bethany...or has it? She is truly a "Miracle" and will forever be tucked away in my heart. On the days when the sun is shining so bright, I will know that it is Bethany smiling down on us--warming all of our hearts. God be with you always. We love you all.

Dearest Bethany~
Ever since you were a little girl you were always a fighter... I remember many camping trips, you always kept up with the boys and whatever they thought they could beat you at, you would prove them wrong. We knew then, you would do many great things... and you have. You have brought such joy and inspiration to so many people that you have crossed paths with. Your smile and your laughter is contagious... Now the time has come for you to smile and laugh for eternity... feel no more pain, sweetheart. You have fought your fight... and will forever be remembered.
I know you'll be looking through the holes in the floor of heaven, watching over all of us... until we meet again.
God Bless!

Lori, Pete and family.
My heart goes out to you at this time in more ways than you'll ever know. Will you please ask Bethany to take care of my Megan and play a game or two of UNO with her. She never got the chance to play much softball while she was with us so I know she would love to learn that too. Our daughters have a chance to be best friends like we were in our younger days. It gives me a little peace knowing Megan will have a "big sister" to take care of her.
God's blessing to all of you and God's peace to sweet Bethany.
All my love,

There's so much I'd like to say to Bethany, so I'm hoping one of you lovely people would be able to do it for me. When I met you all, I was in such a hard time in my life. I was coping with the death of my father, and I was nervous about a knee surgery that might end my running career. When I showed up at Heather's and saw all of you, and heard Bethany tell me her story, I realized that the only reason I wasn't fully happy was because I was taking my life for granted. I was being selfish and worrying about myself and why I was not feeling successful in my actions and my feelings. And then I see this beautiful girl a little younger than me, going through more than I can ever imagine, and she is still fully happy. Bethany brought me to God, and she may not realize it, but when I saw and heard her, I felt a push towards what I had been shutting out. I had this boundary drawn between myself and Him, and Bethany showed me that that boundary didn't keep others out, it fenced me in. She's taught me how to live my life with passion and conviction, not just for myself, but for others as well. Each day is a gift, and I realize that everyone is here for a reason. Although we may not see it, or it might not be what we want at that time, we are all here to serve a purpose to better the world as we know it. I feel that Bethany has served her purpose over and over and over again. With each breath she takes she is proving to me, and to everyone that knows her, that miracles can happen. Every breath she takes is an inspiration, it gives us hope, a new chance, to find that own strength in ourselves. To me, Bethany is the miracle, and when I feel like hope is lost, like everything is dark and dismal, I look at her and her family and see that love, life, hope, pain, suffering, grief, all go hand in hand to make what we go through beautiful. Every stride I make, and will make, will always be for Bethany. She gave me the courage to believe in myself and believe that the Lord will do what's best for me. Whether I'm in a race, in a rut, or just enjoying life, Bethany will always be with me, in my heart, just like everyone else that knows of her. And that's why she's a miracle, and that's why she's remembered. What she's instilled in me is a love and a faith I have never known, and I hope to pass that on to everyone I know. Bethany will never go away, not truly. Her life and her love and her story is one of those that will be shared for years to come as a testament of all that is good and all that is love. I love you.

Just read the latest update, as a parent, my heart is breaking into a million pieces for you! Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and the struggle you are going through watching your little girl go through soooo much! Aarike & Blake, We are also praying for God to give you the strength to get through the next days, weeks and months. Bethany, I never had the chance to meet you or your family. But when we received Christmas cards from your parents I always used to think what an absolutely beautful girl you are, little did I know that I would end up "meeting" you in this way, but I'm glad I got the opportunity to tell you how much you have changed my life and those of my two girls with your faith, strength and determination. We will continue to check on you and when the time comes we will continue to check on your family and pray that God give them the strength and peace that they need on a daily basis.

I find myself thinking about you and your family around the clock. Many of the "Preschool Moms" from St. John in Fairfield have been praying for Bethany and send our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to your entire family. I am so glad to hear that the Buzynski Camp has shown so much support for everyone there. Its great to see an extradinary family pull together and show their love and gratitude for
the beautiful and exceptional young lady that Bethany is. Your entire family is in our hearts everyday, throughout each day as we pray for peace and comfort for Bethany. We miss you a bunch back in Fairfield and hope you'll send the sun and warmth in our direction. Big hugs from Maddie and Kadyn too. They loved looking at the pictures with Miss Lori in them. God Bless the Buzynski Family. Sharon Sass.

What a precious time this must be to have so many friends and family close by, keeping one another's spirits up and showing support for Bethany. Buzynski family, you are truly fine people and we are all privileged to know you. Thank you for your wonderful example of faith and optimism. Like so many others, I continue to pray for you and wish you strength in whatever lies ahead.

Hi there Family! I would just like to tell you that I love you all so very much and last night was a hit! Last night Lindsay's friend Chubs (Amy) decided to shave her hair off for raising money for cancer research! She asked me if I would go up and speak a little bit about my experience and it turned out me talking a little bit about me and mostly about Bethany. When I spoke the entire room went silent and tears began to flow. The night was a big success!
Thinking and missing you all!

Dear Bethany and Family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. We know that she will go on to a much better place when this is over. You don't know me but I am Chelsea Burkett's grandmother and know that the girls have a very close friendship. Here is a quote from Kahlil Gibran that I always refer to in times like these "Knowing that December's bitter storm will come, makes the storm no less cold". Love to all the family.

Co-workers have put you and your family on their prayer lists at their churches. May God give you and your family the strength you need to get through your illness.

Just wanted to say that I was thinking of all of you (as I do each day). I check in each day when I get into work to see how everyone is doing. Bethany-I pray you are in as little as pain as possible and that you know how much you are loved. Pete and Lori-I pray you stay strong as a family and know it's okay to break down every once in a while. We would all understand...you have such a strong sense of god and family and that will help you through this. Aarika and Blake-I pray that you know that your sister loves you and that you both have the strength to get through this as well. This is an awful lot for each of you just to make it through each day.

We love you all and please know you are all our "Angels"!

Everytime I get on this site I see the love and faith that abounds. One can ask "Why?" but that only clouds from the beauty of the good. Bethany, you are so beautiful. I pray, if God's will is to take you home, you have peace and be without pain. I know you are weary, but remember we love you so much. However, the love we possess is no where close to God's love for you. I pray everyday God will heal you. I pray for you and your mom and dad, Aarika, and Blake that He will give you all strength to take whatever is thrown at you. For anyone who does not believe in God, you are a true testament of his power. This is your true destiny. The gifts He showers on you cannot be denied. Cancer has not taken your smile, nor has it taken your beautiful spirit. You will always be smiling in our hearts. You will always bring joy to your family because you CHOOSE to let God shine through you.

Lori and Pete,
Please do not lose faith. Hope and faith are what have gotten you this far. I hold you both close to my heart and keep you constantly in prayer.

Dearest Bethany and Family,
Let me begin by saying- and I think I speak for our entire neighborhood-that you and your family and friends could NEVER be considered a "nuisance". The love and support that surrounds you all has brought more to this neighborhood/community than anything else I've ever witnessed. It reminds us, on a daily basis, what's really important in life....family and friends. Please know that you have only to ask and any one of us will be there to make it happen for you. As you already know you are not nor will you ever be alone on this journey, for we are all right here behind you every step of the way. Love and God Bless, The Hoover Family..."Huntington"

Bethany, you've touched so many, 106,080 visits to your website already! In your guest book I see over and over the words amazing, inspiring, strong, couragous and hero as words that describe you! You are all that and more. You have already endured more in "almost" 16 years than most people will in their lifetime and have touched more peoples hearts than you could ever imagine. I am so proud of you Bethany and I love you!

Pete, Lori, Aarika, Blake - I wish I had the words that could somehow ease the pain and frustration of seeing your Daughter/Sister go through the last 27 months. One day when you get to Heaven, God will sit down and explain why he chose Bethany and how He used her situation for good. I am continuing to pray for Bethany's Miracle and God's will. You're entire family is a hero! Stay strong, I love and miss you guys.

How many times has it been said that there is a greater purpose for all that has occurred? How many times have it been said God has a greater plan? It reminds me of the following hymn:

NOT NOW, BUT IN THE COMING YEARS, IT MAY BE IN THE BETTER LAND, WE'LL READ THE MEANING OF OUR TEARS, AND THERE SOME TIME, WE'LL UNDERSTAND.

THEN TRUST IN GOD THRO' ALL THE DAYS; FEAR NOT, FOR HE DOTH HOLD THY HAND, THOUGH DARK THY WAY, STILL SING AND PRAISE, SOME TIME, SOME TIME, WE'LL UNDERSTAND.

LOVE YOU NOW AND FOREVER!

Lori, Pete, Bethany, Aarika and Blake..... Leaving all of you the other day was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I wish I could have stayed, I missed you from the moment we drove out of your driveway. I think of you all often, and pray constantly for that maricle that we all need to BELIEVE in. God blessed us all by letting us know Bethany and he has allowed us the opportunity to love her and enjoy every moment with her.

I pray that her pain stays under control and that she gradually improves and gets stronger with each passing day.

Please give Bethany a BIG HUG for me and tell her I Love Her.

Lori... It's time for a Group Hug, get together with everyone there, Pete, Aarika, Blake, Mom and Dad, Jeanne, Nancy, Susan and Greg.....BIG HUG !!! I can feel the love.

I miss you all and I'll love you forever.

Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple Love
It Cannot shatter Hope..
It Cannot corrode Faith
It cannot destroy Peace..
It cannot destroy Friendships
It cannot suppress Memories..
It cannot silence Courage
It cannot invade the Soul..
It cannot steal Eternal Life
It cannot conquer the Spirit.

We continue to pray for all of you daily. I was once told that God sometimes DOES give us more than we can handle...if we had to handle it alone. When something this big and this tough is handled the way you guys are walking through this situation, the whole world can look and say, "It wasn't them, it was God." We can truly see God's steady, faithful hand in the way you are traveling this path.

You CAN do all things through Christ, who strengthen you. (Phil. 4:13)

Still praying for the miracle.

Praying for you Bethany--and for your entire family. Pete and Lori--you have a great support team with the "Kuker" and "Buzynski" bunch!! I grew up knowing the Kuker's and Joe grew up knowing all the Buznski's and you are very fortunate to have such loving families ..family and friends are so important at this time! From the looks of the website, you have many of both! Your family has touched many lives.

I have a favorite verse that is printed and carried with me on my keychain that I read often:
Psalm 50:15...I want you to trust me in time of trouble, so I can rescue you.
Trust in the Lord...Believe in Angels!!

Readlyn, IA - Wednesday, March 14, 2007 8:22 AM CDT

Bethany and Family,
I have been praying and thinking about you all day. I lost my dad 2 1/2 years ago to a terminal lung disease. We had the precious gift of being able to be by his side in his last moments. I treasure that time I was able to have with him so much. The one thing he kept telling us was, talk to me I'll just be on the other side of the door, in the next room listening. I still talk to him(I told him about you) and I know he is listening to me. I just wanted to share this poem my mom found. I feel my dad was trying to explain this to us to help us with our grieve.

The Room Beyond the Door. Each day is like a brand-new room, and when its door swings wide, our lives will be transformed by what is on the other side. Sometimes our loved ones move into a room that no one knows, and we're not allowed one glimpse behind the door they gently close. We only know, in time, that door will open for us, too, and with a sense of welcome, we'll step confidently through. And though we grieve for those who can't be with us anymore, we know we'll meet them someday in the room beyond the door.

God Bless you and your family!!!!!!!!!

When I came home from work tonight my older daughter, Megan, told me that my youngest daughter, Rebekah, 6 years old, said grace for dinner and prayed for you!! You are an amazing example to little girls everywhere!! Your life has touched so many people! We will continue praying for you!
Pete & Lori, we are praying for you and Aarika and Blake as well! You have a wonderful, beautiful family and should be very proud of your daughter!!
Love, Chris, Megan, Hannah, and Rebekah Schroeder

It seems that you are a loving and supportive family and hopefully you will continue to give each other comfort during this time.

BETHANY,

I WAS PRAYING FOR YOU TODAY ON MY WAY TO WORK AND THE HOLY SPIRIT KEEPS TELLING ME TO JUST BELIEVE AND DO NOT DOUBT. I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND I BELIEVE YOU DO ALSO. THEREFORE, I WANT TO SHARE SOMETHING FROM THE WORD OF GOD AND HOW HE REVEALS TO US THAT WHATEVER WE ASK FOR IN HIS SON'S NAME (THE NAME OF JESUS) AND IN HIS WILL WE SHALL HAVE. ONE OF THE NAMES OF GOD IS YAHWEH ROPHE, THE LORD WHO HEALS. THE HEBREW MEANING IS "HEAL" "CURE" "RESTORE" OR "MAKE WHOLE" PLEASE READ EXDOUS 15:20-27 AND ALLOW THE LORD TO MINISTER TO YOUR SPIRIT. GOD IS WITH YOU EVEN WHEN YOU CAN'T FEEL HIM. HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANYONE. HE CREATED YOU BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. YOU HOLD ON NO MATTER WHAT GOES ON AROUND YOU. HAVE FAITH AND DO NOT DOUBT AND GOD WILL DELIVER YOU. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU EVERYDAY WITHOUT CEASING. YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOUR EVERY BREATH.

Dunkerton, IA - Tuesday, March 13, 2007 2:53 PM CDT

In the name of Jesus I pray and I remind You now, Father, of Your Words in Jn 16:23 wherein You promised whatsoever we ask in Jesus' name You will give it us, and in Mat 21:22, You promised whatsoever we ask in prayer in the name of Jesus, believing we shall receive, we shall have it, and in Mk 11:24, You promised You will give us whatsoever thing we desire when we pray believing. Therefore, Father, I ask You now to send the manifestation of Your Glory to this family so greatly that that the things of the devil will get caught up in the swell and explosive power of Your Spirit!! You promised that if we stay with You, Lord, You will stay with us. I ask you now to go to this family and dwell among them and give them strength, wisodom, revelation knowledge and Your Grace. Father, I ask that You work a miracle in this family greater than anything anyone has ever seen!! In Jesus' name, I SLAM the door on the devil in this family!! In Jesus' name, I send ministering angels to this family to guide them in what they are to do and say. Father, You promised that what we loose on earth is loosed in heaven - what we bind on earth is bound in heaven. Therefore, I BIND you devil! I bind your demons and wicked spirits and their operation in this family!! I loose prosperity, health and recovery for this family mentally, physically, financially and socially!! In Jesus' name, I place the devil under their feet!! Because I ask in the name of Jesus, and because You are not a liar, and out of the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established, so as far as I'm concerned I believe that I receive that which I pray. Amen. (anyone reading this - if you pray with a pure heart, and believe, this prayer will be bolstered and miracles WILL happen not only in this family's lives, but in yours, too. Remember, every seed produces after its kind. If you pray for the health and healing of others, you will receive it in your own life. God Bless!!)

Colin (8) said a long one for you. He remembers you guys, even though he was so young. Adrianna(2)prayed with her little hands together in her own language. She looked up and smiled. Like everything is good now! You are always in my thoughts and prayers. God is with you.

Dear Bethany,
I was a daycare provider and bunko player with your mom out here in Vegas and Aarika use to babysit my boys. The last time I saw you, you and Kelsey were in your softball gear getting back from practice. I had the hardest time telling you two apart!!!

Since your battle has begun, Colleen has kept me posted. Now since reading your journal I am truly inspired!!! I am amazed with you and your families strength and love. It just makes me want to hug my children a little tighter and be thankful for the small things. Whatever lies ahead for you, I know you will face it with courage and that beautiful smile on your face. We will continue to pray for you and your family as your journey continues.

Hello Bethany!

Your will and spirit has touched so many lives and will do so forever. Because of you, many of us know the true meaning of "Trusting in Him." I was reading a baby's prayer book with Rachel last night and I thought of you. There was a small child sleeping under the stars with an angel protecting above him. The effects of this journey are not known, but we have the faith that God is with us through it all. May you and your family continue to feel His presence. May God keep you in His loving care.

Take Care,

Bethany,
I want you to know what you've done and continue to do for a group of freshman girls that I meet with every week at confirmation class. We have been praying for you each week and by the comments on their sermon notes, they are praying for you during the week as well. When we talk about your progress each week, it sparks conversation which has been taken to deeper levels. You have taught my girls so much by your attitude and strength. They have learned the difference between giving up control and taking control. In each step of this road, you have been taking control and have never given up. Even when we received the news to pray for peaceful days and peaceful nights, you never "threw in the towel"--you were always in the drivers seat. We continue to pray for Kylin and the whole Duffy family, for your parents and your sister. You are all really special people and have taught us something we may have never learned without you in our lives--even though you don't know us. I pray for your comfort. Thanks for blessing our lives.

Bethany - I continue to stand amazed at you and your family. I feel pretty sure you have been pretty busy with family and visitors who want you to know how much they love you. I have been thrilled to see the cars and activity at your house. You are surrounded by love. You are also an obedient servant to God. You are touching the WORLD. Your story and your fight and your sweet spirit are touching people all over the world. Friends are telling friends about your fight and family is telling family. I do not think anyone is forgetting to spread the word about the awesome touch that God has placed on you and your family and the fact that you are Christians. You are touching people in the name of Jesus. Thank you for touching our lives. Fight on Girl!!!!!

I also pray that you find comfort in your strong faith in Jesus Christ and know that He will never leave you and will always be walking by your side. Bethany, I am in awe of the impact you have made on all who have had the pleasure to know you but also on the impact you have made on those who don't know you but know your story! You have made such a lasting impression! You are an awesome girl. My prayers will continue!

Bethany,

The past couple of weeks, I have gone through extreme hardship. After losing a cousin, great-grandmother, dog, and getting into a vehicle collision, all in a matter of two weeks, I have come to the conclusion that there must be a reason for everything. These, however, do not even compare to your situation.

Ever since Christmas Break two years ago you have been nothing but positive and optimistic toward everything. You constantly have that awesome smile! I do not believe I would ever be able to have that eternal strength that you withhold. God is no doubt tremendously strong in your heart and soul.

It is said that, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Well Bethany, you make enough lemonade to create your own new brand. You are a true friend that is extraordinarily inspirational and no one can ever take that from anybody.

Looking back at different situations in life, many would find it easy to ask God, "Why?", or "Why me?" But a much better question to ask would be, "What was the reasoning behind that?", or "How does this benefit in the long run?" However, all of these questions are, as in Hymn of Promise: unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

Each and every day we are reminded of things that could have been. We need to look into the future and hope and pray that everything goes to His plan, whether it seems pleasing to us or not. There is a reason. I miss you, and pray for you and your family as you go through this hardship of your own.

~Andy~

Hey there Bethany! I have nothing in my thoughts but you. I had planned to fly to Florida upon my return from South Padre, although it didn't quite work out and I back up into a car in HyVee parking lot... I swear the sun was in my eyes!... right... anyways I have been praying for you as much as possible and I know how stong of a person you are. If I can get my parents to let me be spontaneous, I want to fly to see you, even if it is a second of time! I miss you tons. I hope you got to visit with the family and had a great time!
p.s. Next week on Wednesday a friend of Lindsay's is planning on shaving her head (not because she is trying to be like Britney Spears), but on behalf of cancer sufferers and has asked me to speak at the event. I would love it if it is ok with you if I spoke on your behalf as well! I love you and continue to keep you in my prayers and thought!!!!!! LOVE ME! Whitney

I am one of your dad's former bosses, who met you at your dad's SMSgt pin-on ceremony. I have witnessed you fight the cancer for over 26 months now, and you still continue to do well in school and life. You are an inspiration to many, many people, to include my twin 14 year olds. Susan, my wife, Alex, Nate and I pray for you all the time...and will not give up as God does wonders. I wish I had one-twentieth the fight that you have...very proud of you.

The Buzynski Family,

I want you to know that I have been praying for you nonstop. The struggle you all have endured is nothing short of a miracle in itself. I have never met anyone else who has touched me in a way that you all have.
To Bethany,

To say that you are an inspiration is an understatement. There are no words to describe the way you have handled all that has been handed to you, for we are simply mortals and could never conjure up anything that could describe you so well. You are my hero. For the rest of my life, I plan to live it to my fullest potential with you as my inspiration, my mentor, and my guardian angel. I love you with all my heart. No stronger or more strong willed person has ever walked the face of this earth. You are forever in my thoughts, my prayers, and my dreams.

Love for you and and your family always and forever,

To the Buzynski Family,

May you continue to find your strength in your faith of the Lord. God knows what his plan is and we must trust in him to guide us through the difficult times he makes us travel. As many have said and will continue to say you have become an inspiration to many many people. There are many days that I stop and think and put things into perspective. Your family has truely taught me to think about the things in life that are really important. Bethany you have taught me to appreciate all the little things in life that you truely seem to enjoy, shopping, getting your nails done, being with friends and family and just generally appreciating everyday. I knew you before this journey began for you and you celebrated life everyday in the same manner as you have done recently. May you and your family continue to find strength in each other. I will continue to pray for that miracle and add prayers that you are at peace.
Happy "Sweet 16" a little early!! Glad to hear you enjoyed your party and your shopping trip.

Dear Bethany,
We've never met but after reading about you and the many good wishes and prayer sent your way I imagine you are a gift from God. Possibly a gift he is calling home, possibly not. I knew your Dad when he was a young boy, I was bestfriends with his sister Cindy. I'm sorry that you've been asked to endure this very heavy load but it sounds like you've looked it straight in the eye and you've been up to the task. I'm praying for a miracle to help you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

I was sent your website by a friend of a friend of a friend and so I became connected to your family. I spent a good part of yesterday going through the journal. The faith that you and your family have is absolutely joyous. We, as mere mortals, do not know what lies ahead in the Great Plan of our Lord. But for me, your struggle and survival and strength has made me thank the Lord that your story has been told. When I look at my little problems, I can look at you, your family and friends and see the amazing strength of love and prayers. I will now join the prayers for you.

You are and always will be, an angel, a gift that God has chosen to place among us. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

From what I can tell, you are extremely loved by a kazillion [made up number]people! I think God is smiling down on you right now for you and your family's continued courage and bravery. Whatever the case may be, God has big things planned for you. I'll keep you in my prayers!!

Love Nicole

Dearest Bethany and family,
You and your fight has been such an inspiration for me and the whole community. I just encourage your strong fight against this ugly battle. Here is some scripture from the book of psalm.

"I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice. He hath dilivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me."
psalms 55:16-18

so bethany keep up the strong fight and like the pslam said there are and always be many with you. And my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Bethany, you are in my thoughts and prayers and I will continue to pray for you and your family. Being the amazing person that you are, I wanted to tell you how much you have influenced my outlook on life. Your tremendous strength has helped me to treasure every day. I wish my support and the support of others can inspire you as much as you have inspired me. Your unique, bubbly personality continues to shine through during this tough time. I feel so lucky to have met you and to have witnessed your contagious smile. Keep your spirits high! Have a safe trip back to Florida.

Dear Bethany and family,
I arrived back home to the states a few weeks ago. I checked your website after someone from Walter Reed called me and told me the news. I am shocked and saddened. Please know that you are all in my thoughts. Bethany, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and you look ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS (as always) for the winter ball. Please keep us updated as much as possible. I will be thinking of all of you in the days to come.

This is one of the most compelling and heart wrenching stories that I have ever read on the prayer chain. I think each of us knows Bethany in our own hearts and someday will meet her. The Lord has touched so many people by the strength and faith in Jesus that this family has. I would have never even thought about a party, but what a way to celebrate her life with friends and family! As I continue to pray for this young lady and her friends, I thank God that in some small way I have gotten to know this family. I pray for the deep faith and comfort that Bethany has in her Lord Jesus. But most of all, I pray that her life be an example to her peers and older friends and family alike. Jesus will heal Bethany. It probably won't be the way we would choose, but she will see and continue to live in eternal glory...and that is what it is all about. I know this is breaking this family's hearts. I write this in mixed sorrow and joy. Love and prayers, Carol Smith

-----------------------------------------------------
Well, we aren't done praying yet. The curtain has not lowered and the actors have not taken their cue yet for a curtain call. Aarika has a lot on her heart now, too, as does the entire family. Thank you all for your prayers. We already have experienced how one family can touch many lives. What a miracle that is, that Bethany's mother has been able to open her heart and their lives to so many strangers. Thank the Lord for His reaching out to so many through her...

Buzynskis,
It sounds like you all had a wonderful weekend. Bethany, I hope you had Aarika running all over the mall (just kidding Aar). We are so sorry to hear that things are not going well right now but we pray that you enjoy being back together as a family, get some must needed rest and get stronger, so you may make some more beautiful memories with your family and friends as we all continue to pray for that miracle to happen. We will NEVER give up on you and we hope that you know how proud we are to know you and what a strong, inspirational, loving person you are. We were watching some old tape of camping the other day. It was your birthday party(you couldn't have been more than 8 or so) at Lake Mead and your Dad put the pinata in the tree and couldn't figure out how to get back down....we laughed like crazy and hope that you can find the strength to keep laughing too. Happy early Sweet 16 Bethany. You are a VERY loved young lady and we will pray harder than ever.

Bethany and family,

We were so glad to hear that you had a wonderful weekend and party with many of your family and friends. Wish we could have been there. You and your family are inspirations to us all. You forever have touched our lives in ways we will never forget. You have gone through so much. Your continued faith and courage through everything truly astounds me. Bethany, your smile still shines through even on your toughest days. Have a safe trip back to Florida and enjoy your special time with each other. Hold each other close and continue to lean on one another. I do believe God has had a plan for you and he has been working through you. You have put up an unbelievable fight and you continue to fight. We are not giving up hope. There is not one day that goes by that we do not talk with God for your continued strength and courage and for your healing Bethany. You are a hero to us.

Dear Bethany, Aarika, Blake, Pete & Lori,
Each day I visit your website to keep you as close as I can to my thoughts because you no longer live near us. For so long I wanted to have a baby and you were all here supporting me through that. Now I have three beautiful boys and I am very thankful to god for that. I am very grateful to all of you also for the friendship and love you gave to me through the tough time I had. Now, that seems so trivial knowing what you all are going through. Your family "puts me in check" each day when I feel like my two month old and two year old twins are difficult to deal with. You are all truly angels and I want you to know how much you are loved and missed hear in Las Vegas. Take care of yourselves and enjoy each day as I now do because of you!!

We heard about your courageous battle from your neighbor, Dion Scaglione. He is a great friend and shared your story with me today. On the way home I prayed for you and your family; I am a dad with a son the same age as you; we are going through trials but not as serious as yours and with not nearly the courage and grace as you and your family. I really admire you all for that. God is using you in a mighty way, through you He is doing a great work by touching so many other lives. I thank you for running the good race, your race is not finished yet. You have lit a spark in me to pray more, to be thankful of my station in life, and to be selfless in my daily life. You and your family have lived the words of God to Joshua, "Be strong and courageous". Thank you for your faithfulness; you have inspired me.

Shalimar, FL USA - Tuesday, March 6, 2007 7:34 PM CST

Dear Bethany's mom and dad-
I just spent the past hour (1am -2am) reading the history of your daughter's past 2 years and my heart goes out to you. I have a 2 yr old and when you spoke so often of the loss of sleep it took me back to when Liberty was born and how I thought I would never catch up! Here you are at your teen age daughter's bedside. I can't imagine the things that go through your mind day to day, but I can image the furthest is sleep deprivation. After reading your stories all I can say is you are such awesome parents and I can only hope to raise my daughter as you have raised Bethany. Keep your heads high and keep smiling for Bethany!
I hold you high in my prayers that God gives you the strength to get through each and everyday and only good things come to you and Bethany. I will pray her pain will subside. Remember that God is with you and will guide you in making your decisions. When you are faced with the most difficult-fall to your knees and he will guide you.
God Be With You Friends!!!

You glow in your pictures just like an angel. We think of you everyday and pray for your peace and healing. You have touched so many lives. Some people live to be 85 and have wasted their life, but you have done so much for so many. You have taken the bad and given faith and hope to so many. Thank you!

God's thought towards you are of good and never of evil to give you an expected end, the Bibl said it and I believe it. Over 2000 years ago Jesus died on the cross of calvary and shed his blood for your sake and his word stated clearly that by his stripes ye are healed. It is written that the scriptures cannot be broken neither can God's word return to him void, it is written that the purpose of these words must be fulfilled. Take these scriptures and hold them as your sword towards this infirmity trusting in God's faithfulness and i beleive God will see you through the next round of treatment and he will establish your health. I will be praying for you and I know that since God is not deaf and with all the multitudes praying faithfully on your behalf, it is well with you. as you stand on these scriptures proclaim to God that since he said that Jesus is the word come to life, and Jesus is life itself, then as you stand on these words let the life of Jesus Christ manifest in your body as healing and he will. I pray that God in his infinite mercy will increase your faith to the level necessary to obtain your healing. Amen

Hello Bethany!
My heart fills with joy to know that most of your family and friends were able to be together this weekend to celebrate your birthday! It's hard to believe, but Rachel is going to be four on the 31st of this month and it feels like just yesterday Aarika made the "baby-name" box for my classroom to vote on her name. As we plan to celebrate, we never know where life's journeys are going to take us. Trusting and knowing that God is always with us needs to be our focus and this message board is certainly full of faith. So as you begin the next phase of your treatment, know that I am praying for you and your family's strength through God. May He keep you in His loving care.

Take Care,

But we understand that this may not be in the plan and we only want what will make you the most comfortable and happy. So just hearing your voice will be what we hope for. Know that you are adored by so many people! I hope you can feel a big hug coming to you right through this computer!! Allow the peace that passes all understanding flow through you now and always.

Bethany and Family:

There are so many words of inspiration and messages from the heart from all over the world written in this guest book. Those words are like outstretched arms, wanting to comfort you, relieve the worry and bolster the spirit. My tennis team did the bridge run/walk in your honor and that is how our family became familiar with yours. Then Bethany and my son Brad met at Lauren Graham's party and from then on we have kept your family in our thoughts and prayers. Even though you are in Pennsylvania, we send greetings filled with sunshine from Florida and all the sweetness of Niceville.

Hi Bethany,

When I stopped by your party Saturday night, an overwhelming feeling took over. You were surrounded by over 50 friends and family! As you can see, you are not alone. We are all in this with you! Some people go through life having little or no friends. They go through life without the love and support of their family, or have no family. There you were, in the middle of all your family and friends and everyone just having a wonderful time. What a blessing to have such a loving family and be surrounded by so many of your friends who care for you. You are one special girl!
Keep your Faith in God and let him fight for you. He's right there beside you every step of the way.
We love you!

Bethany and Family,
Thinking of you as I often do when I check my email before bed. I hope tonight and every day and night you are blessed with friends, family, happiness and God's loving care. Have a wonderful, fun, peaceful and loving time with your family and friends...

A little prayer for you all tonight...my favorite....

I said a prayer for you today,
And know God must have heard -
I felt the answer in my heart,
although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame -
I knew you woulndn't mind,
I asked Him to send treasures
of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He'd be near you,
At the start of the new day.
To grant you many blessings
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you -
In all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care -
I prayed for most of all.

God Bless all of you...

Dear Bethany,
Hi, I'm a neighbor of yours here in Niceville. I just wanted to write to share a story and say thank you. Back in November my wife and I traveled to New York to run the NYC Marathon. I had planned on wearing a prayer band on my wrist to help inspire me for each of the 26.2 miles. Every mile on the band was dedicated to someone I was thankful for.
Well, just prior to departing for NYC, miss Patti shared your story with me. I decided then to add your name to my prayer band...I penciled your name next to mile 21, but you should know that you were the inspiration for every step of every mile that day.
Running a race like that takes physical endurance, but you Bethany have demonstated an endurance even the greatest runner can only hope to match. Your endurance of "Faith" is the greatest I've ever seen. I don't know why I didn't share this story sooner, but the Lord put it on my heart to share it now.
Please know that you are the strength an inspiration of so many people Bethany. The Lord is working through you, and his kingdom is being glorified. I completed the 26.2 miles and got my finishers medal that day...and today I dedicate that medal to you. Enjoy your weekend Bethany! I pray that we all will "run with endurance the race that is set before us." Thank you again for your strength and courage. Run strong Hether, run strong Bethany!

Bethany
When we decided to do the bridge run in your honor it was the first time I had ever ran at all and after training for just 4 weeks I ran 4 1/2 miles, and I can honestly say I did not do that within my own strength, between the thoughts of you and the power of GOD because let me tell you girl I talked to you both the whole time, I was well able to finish the race (you were and ARE my INSPIRATION). I'm telling you this to let you know that your focus and drive to fight, ultimately your mind set is AWESOME you have allowed me to physically see with my own eyes that thru the Love of JESUS CHRIST all things are truely possible. on that note I am going to tell you publicly that I am commiting to run a half marathon in Jan. of 08 and you will be with me every step of the way just like the bridge.
Bethany, Lori, Pete, Aarika, Blake I want you all to know that I see CHRIST in you all. It's one thing to talk the talk but something very different to walk out the walk so keep walking-running-DANCING, Girl you go have FUN FUN FUN FUN this weekend show us all how its done Bethany and when its all said and done for me I want my race to emulate YOURS.
I LOVE YOU BETHANY I LOVE YOU ALL

Hi Bethany and Family,
I hope you guys have a Great time on your days off, God will take over your fight while you have some fun. We appreciate you keeping us in the loop with your daily lives, the distance makes it so hard to show you all how much you are thought about and prayed for. We are really looking forward to making the trip to Florida. We plan on leaving on Friday March 30th by car (this could be a Griswold's moment) and should be in late in the day on the 31st. Then you are stuck with us for about 5 days. It will be nice to share some time with all of you. Bethany I can't wait to see the strongest girl I've ever known again. You have truly been an inspiration to me and my family. I'm not sure what God's master plan is for you, but I know that you have helped grow the faith of allot of people through your journey. Continue to fight, pray, and smile, you were a leader and a winner in sports, and you are the same in Life.
Thanks for being my special niece.

Although I've never had the pleasure to meet you, I've seen you around school and a few times in Key Club. I just felt like telling you that you and your family have been a huge inspiration on my walk with Christ. You put all of your trust in Him and praise Him even during these painful times, and I really admire that. Bethany, you are so courageous... I don't think I've heard of anyone that is stronger than you are. :) Keep fighting and never lose hope. You've moved and humbled the hearts of many people - especially mine. Thankyou for being such a bold example of putting one's trust and faith in God. You and your family will be in my prayers.

God Bless, Emily Parsons

Hi Bethany! We just got word today about you and your situation. We don't know you, but we sure are praying for you. Too bad we weren't aware of you before, we could have helped as we are right here in the D.C. area! Walter Reed is our second home as our daughter suffers from Epilepsy. We will tell others at our church (Fairfax Baptist Temple)to help pray for you! Psalm 57:1 has brought us so much comfort during our own trials with our little girl's health, I'm sure this verse will do the same for you! Psalm 57:1 "Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea in the shadow of thy wings I will make my refuge until these calamities be overpast."

Bethany, soon you will receive a prayer quilt from the ladies at St Paul (Welca). It was made in love while special prayers were said for you and then blessed by Pastor Underdahl. It also comes chock full of prayers of the whole congregation as we prayed together for a miracle for you. We want you to feel the love that comes with the quilt as you use it. We will continue to pray for you and your family. BTW, you looked beautiful in your winter ball gown. Your date is a lucky young man.

I just read the touching entry by the Prayer Warriors in Albuquerque and wanted to add the thoughts and prayers of another group of prayer warriors -- the Friends Prayer/Sunshine Circle. The Lord laid a mission on my heart about four years ago and that mission was to reach out to others in need through prayer (and helping hands). Lori Buzynski was one of the first of my dear friends to join me in this effort. We are a group of 8 Christian, prayer-believing woman who have had the privilege of knowing Bethany and her family and we too think of Bethany as "our Bethany." We have continued to pray for Bethany and Aarika, Blake, Pete and Lori since the original diagnosis and we will continue to pray without ceasing! Bethany has and continues to show us what true courage, strength and faith are all about. She and her family have shown the world the kind of faith that can move mountains. Bethany and family -- the Friends Prayer/Sunshine Circle is storming the gates of Heaven interceding with God on your behalf.

Tina and Greg Porch passed the news of your wonderful family to us. We're sad to know of the hardships you face, but emboldened by your courage and faith. As we share your story with our 6 kids they realize more each day how precious life is. I only hope they will remember in future years how truly important not taking one another for granted is. Our 6 year old daughter (Chandler Grace) has said some of the best prayers. I think she liked your winter ball dress and tried extra hard on her prayer.

You will be in our hearts and thoughts and we'll continue to pray for healing and strength. Fight the good fight.

Dear Prayer Warriors, we have a number of intercessions, but I'll put first the
one about Bethany -- she kinda feels like "our" Bethany, doesn't she? I suppose
there are a large number of intercessors across the US feeling this way. Her
mom says Bethany wants to try one more time and to feel like all she has gone
through will help some other person suffering from osteosarcoma. I think in
addition to praying for God's mercy on Bethany and her family, that we should
hold these two requests up. Also, as I have been thinking about Bethany and her
family, I feel very strongly that the other prayer we should concentrate on
right now is not so much for Bethany herself, for the Holy Spirit has given this
young woman supernatural perseverance like Job's. Please pray for not just the
parents & grandparents, but for Bethany's sister and brother and for all the
young people Bethany's age (her friends & classmates in both FL & PA), whose
lives have been graced by Bethany's faith, that as the next few weeks unfold,
they will be strengthened in their faith, that the ones who have doubted the
reality of Christ and His love or have been angry at Him will be so aware of His
Presence with them and His Spirit ministering through Bethany, that the
direction of their lives will be influenced for years to come. The Holy Spirit
especially wants us to pray for Bethany's sister Aarika, I think; I was just
looking at the picture of the family on the Caringbridge site -- what Aarika is
feeling right now is especially dear to our Lord. Penny

I just heard about you and your family from a friend requesting prayer last Thursday in Crestview, FL. I stopped and prayed for each of you and will continue doing so every day. Bethany, you are truly an inspiration to all who hear about you. Your faith and strength during this puts the rest of us to shame for our petty complaining about nothing. I will stop and think about you before I ever complain again. God bless you and your wonderful strong family during these decisions that need to be made. You will make the right decisions and God will guide you in the right direction.

Hello Buzynski's,

I just want to let you all know that even though I do not post much to your message board I do check the site very often to see how things are going. I also keep Coach Diff up dated too. You and your family are constantly in our prayers.
It is great sadness that I read of your latest post. I was hoping and praying for much better results, just as many other people were too.
Bethany you are an individual with great spirit and kindness and may you find peace within your soul. We never know why some of the best people in the world are chosen for the obstacles that they must endure but they are chosen because they are some of the strongest people that live. Your faith and spirit have certainly shown that to all of us. I will pray for you all to have strength to get over the newest hill put in front of you and your family.
Bethany you looked wonderful for the winter ball, I am sorry I missed it! Say hello to Erika for me and tell her I will miss her when volleyball starts in two weeks.
Mom Happy Belated Birthday and welcome to the 40 club!
Sending prayers for continued strength and courage for all of you.

Dear Buzynskis,

First of all - Happy Birthday Lori! How great to have a surprise party with so many people you love there. And gosh, I have no idea how you got so so much older than me ;)

Bethany, you look so beautiful in your winter ball gown - absolutely stunning. That Aaaron is one lucky guy. I continue to be amazed by your strength and the happiness you bring to all of those around you and the joy you find in life, even while in such pain. Courage like yours is not often found, and it is affecting all of us across the country who read this page and hear your story.

I am so sorry to hear about the new scans and to hear that Bethany is in even more pain. I am thinking of all of you and praying for easier and pain free moments in the days to come. I have to believe that all of this was for a reason we just can't understand, but I so wish the times you've all gone through these last two years had been easier ones.

Many thoughts and prayers for all of you - Bethany, Pete, Lori, Aarika and Blake, you guys are one incredible family! - from California.

I hope you have as much peace and as little pain as possible with this new treatment. I'll be thinking of your family.

Bethany--You looked just as beautiful, at the ball, as I remembered you, from the June get together of the Frienship/Prayer/Sunshine Circle at the Peck's. You look so much like your beautiful Mother.Please know that I will be praying for you at the 8:00 O'clock prayer gathering, and trusting the great physician to touch and heal you. God is still on the throne and able to do it!!! Praise him always, for he is worthy to be praised!!

Hi Bethany and family,

You looked beautiful in your dress at the winter ball and so did your sister. I couldn't get over to say Hello to you because there were so many people around, but I did finally get to meet your mom and dad. You and your mom look so much alike, it is uncanny. It was nice to finally meet her. I went over to the school for a short time with Diann as Katie, Courtney and I were up at the Hummels for the weekend.

I know there have been days that have been incredibly difficult for you.... Don't lose your faith, Bethany. God is looking over you as are his angels. My daughter said it exactly.... angels are not just in heaven, but they are around you everyday, family, friends, acquaintances all helping and looking over you in different ways. Keep fighting Bethany. We hope and pray that you have many better days ahead.

While I have never met Bethany or your family, I know of her illness through a friend from St. Paul's. I have had Bethany's name added to our prayer list at the church I attend in Crestview, Fl. Church of the Epihany Episcopal Church.I have also forwarded the website to my friends that have a deep faith and belief in the healing power of God.I think of Bethany often and pray for her and the entire family.

The pictures of Bethany, Arika and cousins were great to see. So glad they were able to make the Ball.

Happy Birthday too to MOM. Reaching your 40th means you are entering your prime. Have a wonderful day.

I will stop whatever I'm doing tomorrow at 8P.M. CST to pray.

Lori,

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays today!!! You are the embodiment of the woman of Proverbs 31 and you and Aarika are heroines #2 and #3 through all this. Sending our best wishes and prayers for this coming week of tests and procedures.

Hey, I just thought of something neat!!!! I love words and I love to rearrange the letters to see what comes up..... I just figured out that the word MIRACLE can spell "IM CLEAR". We will be encircling you in prayer on Thursday and Friday and praying for miracles big and small.

Pete, Lori, Bethany, Aarika & Blake,
It is GREAT to hear that you all had a wonderful weekend. My questions is did you fill Miss Patti in on the killer dog you have? (Snickers catching those birds in the air while we were watching her still haunts Tyler to this day..ha-ha). It sounds like the ball was a huge success and that Bethany & Aarika had a great weekend with their friends. Lori, happy birthday! I just had mine a couple of weeks ago but I wasn't quite as excited about it as you were :-) Chuck made sure to remind me how "young I wasn't" over and over. We will continue to pray for good news this week and that the doctors can keep a handle on the pain for Bethany while she fights this. Hopefully she can fill up on wings again before starting her new treatment to give her strength :-) Keep smiling Bethany...we all love you!

Pete and Lori, when I think of you I remember a very happy, silly time when Pete was carrying you, Lori, piggy-back through the parking lot of the Kwik Trip in Readlyn laughing and having such a great time. And then you traded places and Lori was carrying you, Pete! (That actually happened as I remember in about 1983!). Hope you are still carrying each other on your backs as you go through these difficult days. I will continue to pray for you and look forward to hearing good news soon.

Bethany & Family,
You are always in our thoughts and prayers. God, please give Bethany the strength and power to overcome this illness.

May The Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

I found this quote and thought I would pass it on...

�Our hope in God pulls us into the future. Hope allows us to affirm the reality of the abundant life that is ours in Christ. Hope allows us to stand with those in pain and to hold them until they are able to feel the love of God for themselves again. Hope allows us to work to bring God's reign upon the earth even when we see no results. Our hope begins and ends in God, the source of all hope.�

Bethany, you are an inspiration to all. Every time I�m about to give up, I think of you. You are a strong and inspirational person. You have inspired me to do something extraordinary even though it may be tough. God has sent many signs to help guide you.God has angles watching you all the time. They are your friends, neighbors and ones from above. He has a purpose for you. Don�t worry. God always comes to you in your hour of need. If you believe in miracles, they will happen. Especially to someone as kind hearted as you. Don�t give up. Don�t forget you�re an inspiration to all.

HI!!!!!!
First and foremost- I miss all of you very much. I think/pray about you guys everyday.
As I was catching up on your journal postings, I thought it would be a good idea to send the link to all of my friends. I wanted them to learn about how brave you are and how awesome you and your family are. Also I wanted to share it with them because one of them is about to shave her head to raise money for children's cancer research. She hasn't had anyone close to her experience cancer before and has kind of been searching for a personal purpose in this. Since then many many many of us have given her story upon story of reasons that would make this more than a privilege. She can't wait and continually says that it's going to be the coolest, most important thing she has ever had the opportunity to do. Plus we all know the more prayers the better!!!
She is shaving her head (long hair) March 14 along with a bunch of other people. I am telling you about this because I want you to know that you are definately going to be an inspiration to people not only during this event, but for a long time to come. Love you and miss you!!!!! I'll keep ya posted!

Bethany, miracles do REALLY happen. When I was a junior in high school, I was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome. It is a disease which caused me to lose control of my motor skills. I could not write, hold eating ustensils very well, and my walking was very hard due to not being able to control my muscle movements. I had several neurologists come to the same diagnosis. One even told me when I asked when I was going to be better "to get used to it. It was not going to get better." They put me on muscle relaxers, however, they made me sick and very tired so I had to decrease the dose. Consequently, they did not help much. I would try to walk down the hallway of school with people laughing at me as I dropped my books. I never lost hope though. Then, as quickly as the symptoms came, they began to diminish until they no longer existed. The docter's couldn't believe it. I had every test and seen many docters which all diagnosed me as severe. God gave me a miracle. I guess this is why you touch my heart so much. Never give up!! God's time is not our time, but the right time. God Bless you and I pray you will soon enjoy your miracle!
Pete and Lori, always believe! God give you strength!
Love,
Sharalie

We believe too. Thought of you yesterday when I was in the lab waiting to get my blood drawn. Thinking how much I detest having it done (even though I drew people's blood for years) and thought about how much of that crap you have been going through in the last 2 years. I was dreading my one little stick and you've had hundreds. Wow. I started to cry because it's so unfair but then quit because I knew the tech would think it was because I was scared or a big weanie. Anyway, my point is your strength, endurance and courage is insurmountable and I am so humbled by you. We are so far away from you but if I was there I would give you the biggest hug, dear sweet Bethany. Love you.

Finger crossed for the scans to turn out well! It sounds like Bethany is being such an amazing trooper every day. It's so good to know she is having some fun and special times with family and friends even with all that pain.

Lori, I am so glad to hear Pete is coming back to you two. Your strength and optimism through this is just incredible. We are keeping Bethany and your family in our thoughts here daily and hoping for the new meds to be miracle drugs! We continue to believe.

Take care,

Lauren and the kids from Niceville all miss Bethany so much and everyone here wants to know when she will be back in town. We know you are taking everything one day at a time. Tonight Lauren and the gang are over at Robbie's house across the street doing DDR and cooking marshmellows/s'mores over his fireplace!! That's about as much "winter fun" as you can have here in Niceville. We're praying for all of you daily....just like the song says...we remember what our knees are for!! God Bless you today and always.

Buzynski Family,
I do not know if you remember me, but I was in the taneytown physical therapy office for a while last spring. I remember Bethany, and think about her from time to time. I just heard from Julie and Jenna at work, and they gave me this page. I am very sorry to hear of what has happened since last year. I hope everything is going well at this point, and continues to go well. I always think of Bethany and remember her as one of the most vibrant people I have met in my life. I will continue to keep her my prayers. If there is anything that I can do to help please let me know. You can contact me through my e-mail.
My prayers are with you

Bethany, Pete, Lorie (Aarika and Blake, too:)

Thank you for updating the website. We think of you all many, many times each and every day. Lauren misses Bethany very much and wishes the cell phones worked better in the hospital. Wishing the school district could send me "TDY" to be a "school nurse at large" on special assignmnet to the NIH/NCI!!!!!! I am praying as I write this for continued strength for this difficult journey and, above all, the peace that passes all understanding that I know is in the heart of each of you. My number here at Choctaw during the day is: 850-833-3614 x624. PLEASE call me if Aarika or Blake need something, or if you need anything done for the house/yard, whatever. Keep in touch. Remember the "FOOTPRINTS" story!!

Bethany. You don't know me, but I've heard so much about you from Craig, my coworker, and Jenna, your therapist back in Taneytown, MD. I've requested to view your website with personal interest, as my dad had dealt with similar difficulties, and wanted to express my sincere thoughts and prayers to you and your family. You are a hero to at least a few people I know, and after reading this website, it's apparent that your heroism has touched many other lives. God is using you in a very special way, Bethany.
Stay strong, and realize that prayer is out there in masses from those that you don't even know, and will continue until the Lord's will for you is done. I'm praying specifically for you and your families strength and full trust in God in everything you will be dealing with. Remember PROV. 3:5,6. May God bless you.

Tears of sadness of what you are going through and tears of joy for the faith and determination that I can tell that you have. It is my prayer that you will stay strong and keep your eyes towards the heavens; for GOD is still in the miracle business. Check out Psalm 27. I think this is great prayer for you. I'll be praying for you often.

Hey Bethany,
Every time I read the entries by your parents, I'm not surprised at how well you are coping through this ordeal, and as I read through the entries, you have a loving, caring support group cheering you on every step of the way. There is HOPE Bethany and when you keep believing in that, and with your Faith, God will get you through this. Pete and Lori - what a blessing you are to Bethany! She couldn't get through this without the love and understanding of such wonderful parents! We can't wait to see you all again!

You are so brave! I hope to see you and your family soon. In the meantime you are in my prayers and the prayers of EVERYONE I know. Love you Bethany

May God's angels watch over you and your family and give you the strength to get over this blow. You are all a group of fighters and will find the strength and faith from each other to keep going.

Bethany,

I'm sorry about this trauma you are faced with at such a tender age. I feel for your parents as well. I was hit by a horrifying disease myself called ALS, known as Lou Gerhig's disease, at the age of 25 and my doctor told me I only had 2-5 years to live. I'm now 49 and I type with my feet/legs, my hands/arms are paralyzed. I fully enjoy my life, with my disease, and we all should do that whether we have a compromised condition or not. Forget about cancer, enjoy life!

My you and your family continue to feel God's grace and perfect presence through this most difficult time. We only get through these difficult times with His presence. We alone just cannot do it. Our heart goes out to you all. We have an 11 year old son who has an immune deficiency and keeping him healthy means giving him immunogloblins every 7 days -- each treatment taking 3 hours. Our lives revolve around all the doctors appointments and everything else associated with our son's disease. I know God is with you all. Please know that we will be praying for all of you, especially for a miracle - a healing miracle!

The love and faith that you have as entire family will help you through these very difficult times. We are praying that the radiation treatments do shrink her tumors and gives her total relief from her pain. We're also praying that God continues to give you that unbelievable strength and determination that you have shown everyone these past two years.

Dear Buzynski Bunch:
Time has slipped by too quickly and we haven't been able to keep in touch much lately. After you left Fairfield to return to FL we took a 5-day road trip; got home for a day and headed to my (Jan's) home. Mom got her promotion to Heaven on 10/27 and we are so blessed to have had a Christian Mother and to have had her with us for 91 years. The Circle kept us informed on what is happening with all of you in Niceville. Although we have been very busy, we have NEVER been too busy to continue to hold you in thought and prayer. We continue to believe God has a great plan for you, Bethany. You are amazing! KEEP THE FAITH.

Lord Jesus, you said that if any be sick among us to call the elders of the church; and let them pray over her, anointing her with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise her up; and if she have committed sins, they shall be forgiven her. James 5:14

As an elder anoints her and prays the prayer of faith over her, I thank you Lord that she is made whole according to your word.

In Jesus Name Amen.

Keep the family thinking positive and you will beat this. Hopefully Iowa makes it to a bowl game down there and then you can hound your dad about taking you to it. Keep up the positive attitude and all the thoughts and prayers will continue for you all. Take care Bethany, you are truly a winner!

Hey Bethany,
Just wanted you to know how very proud I am of you. The one thing that you can control in this whole ordeal is your attitude, and you are doing an awsome job of staying strong and positive. You have a whole army of people that are in there fighting with you and for you. I am very proud to say that I know you personally and my life is better because it. You are always in my heart and on my mind. I will see you soon.

Bethany and family,

You are constantly remembered in my prayers and the prayers of the church family at Iron Springs BIC in Fairfield. I check your site regularly and continue to up-date the congretation as to what's happening in your life.

My selfish prayer is that God would do what we want and heal you completely, Bethnay, but my earnest prayer is that God will continue to offer you His peace as He works His perfect will in your life. Knowing God's will and living it out can sometimes be difficult but He is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we can even ask or think so I place you in His hands for His touch on your life as you continue to touch others. God Bless you all.
Rev. Terry Hoke <hokey@earthlink.net>
Fairfield, PA - Friday, October 27, 2006 12:49 AM CDT

I ask Jesus to mainifest complete healing in your life. He said by his stripes we are healed. I proclaim that over you and command the sickness that has attacked your body to loose itself in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Be made whole. Jesus said no weapon formed against us shall prosper. The attack is a weapon but our weapons are not carnel but spiritual through the pulling down of strongholds. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but spiritual powers and I loose all the blessings God said were ours over your life this day in Jesus name I ask. Amen

Hi Bethany & family;
Jim & I were heartsick of the news you received from your Dr., but still have hope & faith that you will pull through this with your faith and attitude. We do understand what you are going through. Jim was diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer that had got out of the prostate. This was October 6th, 1999. The surgeon said he had 3-5 years. His last PSA was not measurable and he is due to have his next check November 13th. His readings were climbing before that and he had to have a shot of Lupron which is a female hormone that destroys testosterone that the cancer feeds on. The shot lasts 3-4 months and he didn't have to have one last time due to the readings. My point is that we have always kept the faith and a positive attitude. We have never waivered from our faith in God, even when we didn't get positive news. We know that He is with us and we know that he is with you.
We love you so much and think of you everyday, even though we are on the other side of the USA.
Love across the miles--------Aunt Deb & Uncle Jim

Bethany, I thought of you often today and hoped you had a good day at school. I teach 5th grade and throughout the day I said a little prayer and hoped you were feeling loved by those around you. Everyday for the last two weeks I come straight home and checked on your progress. I'm glad you are home, and I am looking forward to seeing you and your family at St. Paul's.

Bethany, I met you today for the first time, although I had seen you in the hallways at school and heard so much about you. As I watched you today during lunch, you were so cheerful and full of life. How great it must be, to be one of your close friends, spending time with you every day. I along with several others were surprisd to see you back at school today. I wish that I could bottle your positive outlook and your never ending faith. If one tenth of the student body at school had your faith and positive outlook on life, there is no telling what they could accomplish. You are a truly beautiful person; your courage and faith are an inspiration to me. Thank you for allowing me into your life today, and spreading your faith and strength my way. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for being the person you are.

I am so overjoyed to hear that your spirits and personality are still so YOU! You have been through so much and from reading the journal history, I can plainly see that even though your body is fighting each day, you have been blessed in so many ways. Although I wasn't able to be at the prayer group last night, I was praying along at 8:00pm from Frederick. May you and your family continue to have faith and joy as well as hearty steaks and delicious wings!

Take Care,

Hi Bethany and family,

Talked with my sister, Diann, today and heard you are feeling better and stronger each day. You have so many people who love and care about you. We are thinking about you and your family constantly. We are so glad that you were able to come home from the hospital and can visit with all your friends before you go back to Florida.

You truly have amazed everyone with the strength and courage that you have shown with what you have had to deal with over the past year. You stay strong in your will and in your faith and I have no doubt that you will win out over this disease.

Keep smiling with that beautiful smile of yours.

I absolutely adored you over the summer with Heather and Mrs. Tami. Getting to know you and your strength right before my own surgery made me feel like anything could be accomplished. I felt selfish afterwards, knowing I had spent time crying over not being able to run, when my problems were so much smaller than yours, and you still found it to reassure me. I'm glad I could make you laugh, and I hope I get to see you and your Mom and sister again over at Mrs. Tami's sometime sitting around with Heather telling stories. You are an inspiration, a hero, and a beautiful person, and I feel blessed to have gotten the pleasure of knowing you.
