Kailie, I love you darling. It's been soooo long since we've seen you and it stinks! I cannot imagine how wonderful it must be to be in heaven. But you know what...I'll see you again in paradise. Jesus promised and I believe every word he said. I love you precious! Daddy

Good afternoon.

I came here after reading your beautiful and incredibly touching entry on Adam Wisdom's guestbook. I know it will mean a lot to his family, for sure.

Thank you.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious Kailie. What a lovely, courageous, and inspirational young lady she was. I know you must miss her more with each passing day, but I hope you feel the love and warmth of her sweet spirit around you always.

I, too, lost my daughter to cancer. Jessica died June 9, 2007, three days after her 17th birthday. She had brain cancer. She is, and forever will be, my hero as I know Kailie is yours.

Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Kailie.

It's hard not to cry when we miss our children and when we think of all the things that you missed out on in this life. But we know that if we could only see you now for one second we would be assured that you got to the best part sooner than most. It's hard for us to comprehend that now, because we can't imagine how glorious it has to be where there is no pain, fear, or sorrow.

We'll experience it with you when our work here is finished. Then we will be together forever.

Thinking about you all and praying for you as you approach her Angelversary this Friday. Very strange how God works sometimes and that Jazzmine will be coming here on Friday too.
Thanking God (and Kailie and Alexandria) for your new blessing!!!! Jazzmine is one lucky little girl!!!!

I'll never forget sitting at the hospital and your mom and I decided to paint your nails red, white, and blue for the 4th of July. I'm so glad to have those memories and so many more!!! I miss you girl and can't wait for the day we meet in heaven!!!

wondrous star, lend thy light;
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King.

Hi precious.

I miss saying those two words so much; but not nearly as much as I miss telling you how much I love you and you telling me that you loved me too. Another holiday season is upon us Kailie, and once again we'll be spending it without you. I miss coming into your room before I leave for work and kissing you on the cheek. I miss tucking you in at night. I miss watching horse movies with you. I miss playing games and reading to you. I miss you beyond words Kailie. This Thanksgiving I'm very thankful that God chose to bless me with the three greatest kids in the whole world. I'm thankful for the 13 short years you were able to spend with us. I'm thankful that your brothers are still here and we can love and encourage them for you. I'm thankful most of all for Jesus. If it weren't for Jesus than I would have no hope. If it weren't for Jesus you wouldn't be healed like you are now. I can only imagine how awesome it must be to no longer be concerned about the things of this world. You most definitely earned your reward my precious little girl; but I miss you all the same and always will. I know every day is Thanksgiving for you. Every day I give thanks to Jesus for what he has done; and today I thank him for creating you to be my one and only little girl.

I love you pumpkinseed, Daddy xo

We miss our loved ones when they are gone, but knowing where your precious Kailie is and knowing that you will be with her again is a magnificent gift from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Your testimony is remarkable. As I read the journal, I was immediately led to pray for your boys.

I found your website through Cole Fishers. We do not know Coles family but Eric is in the fire service so we have been following his story from the beginning. I just want to thank you for your willingness to share your story and your pain with others who need to hear it. I can not imagine what it is like for you but I see Jesus so much in your lives, even from the moment I met you last year during VBS at Summit. I feel very blessed that Haley has both of you to teach her on Sundays. I spent some time on Kailies site. She was a truly beautiful girl.
His grace IS enough.

Dear Rhines family,
Your journal entry touched me deeply. Thank you for sharing the history of the hymn....I did not know any of that. I have always loved that hymn, but it will have so much more meaning now. I cannot even imagine how difficult the last few days have been....I am so sorry and my heart aches for you as you miss your precious Kailie. My prayers are with you.

Dear Rhines Family-

Oh how my heart literally aches as my mind rewinds to 3 years ago and all that your family endured. It does not seem possible that it could be three years ago that I would pull into Cardinal Glennon and look for that dolphin balloon or that I would sit by Kailie's bed and sing to her and talk to her while you all did some necessary things away from the hospital. The Red WOW c.d., those were the one's we listened to...will never forget that. I remember Grant and I on our knees crying and praying that God's will was not to take Kailie home yet. All memories tucked away and surface so quickly on many days, but especially the 16th. I know our girls are looking down from Heaven and saying, "If you only truly knew how glorious, how amazing, how unbelievably AWESOME it is here...there is no way you all would be sad!!!" I know that time is irrevelant there and in their eyes we will all be together soon. Thank the Lord for that. It is just our hearts that are breaking daily from missing them so intensely.
We will be praying for some sort of peace tomorrow for the entire family. I know it will be a difficult day and know that you can call us if you need us. I will call and check in with you too.

I am confident Kailie and Alexandria will be having an "Angelversary" party as usual.

We are sorry that cancer brought us together but are so thankful for the friendship that has formed and strengthened over the years.

God Bless you all-

Hi guys-

Ok for starters thank you for the tearfest I just had reading the latest journal entry!! WOW 3 years. I remember everything just like it was yesterday. I miss her so much and can't wait for the day to be reunited. She taught me so much about life and the way to live. More knowledge than any 13 year old should have!!! She had,not only her Heavenly Father guiding her, but her earthly parents who did such a tremendous job. Prayers are with you and the boys as you cope with the obstacles that lie ahead. Know you are not alone in that walk. God will be there and he has made sure to surround you with friends who love you, are there to dry a tear, lend a shoulder, and share a laugh. I love you guys and can't wait to get together Saturday for Kailie's ride and picnic!!

In Him~

One Sunday a Bible story was re-enacted in children's church. Mamie asked if she could play the part of the dead girl. The teacher didn't feel too good about it, because Mamie had recently been diagnosed with Wilms tumor, but she let her do it. Most of the class played the part of mourners, wailing so convincingly that Mamie, barely five years old, suddenly sat up and said, "Don't be sad - I'm with Jesus." That quote is engraved on her headstone.

I'm praying for protection for Ian and comfort and strength for the whole family. May Wednesday be a day to cherish the memories that can never be taken away and to rejoice in the knowledge that we can all be together again where there is no pain, fear, or loneliness. And it will be forever. The wait seems long to us now, but our little girls already understand that years are like blinks of the eyes - and though ours fill with tears, theirs never will.

Gosh, I wasn't really expecting to see an
update today. Boy, big changes for your family.
I am indeed sorry...even though that doesn't help
change anything. Today Gayle Guthrie and I went
to Culver's for lunch, and then went over to see
Kailie. We pulled a few weeds from around her
beautiful tombstone with Grandma Carla's lovely
poem. Whenever I'm wondering about God's plans...
I always think of Kailie. Even though she accomplished
more in her short years on earth than most of us could
possibly dream of imitating, I keep thinking how much better
off the world would be with her in it. this is when I pray, "Lord,
I believe, help my unbelief..." Your faith continues to be a
wonderful witness for the Lord. Thank you for sharing it.

I have a friend who's been in St. John's
for a week getting antibiotics because she
got a little cat bite. 3 of us went to visit her
yesterday, and I made them wait while I looked
at the Pediatric's part of the Pratt building because
I wanted to see Kailie's floor. It made me very sad.
The RMcD room looked nice. I've thought of
volunteering there, but with my hearing loss,
I might not be the right person to deal with the
public.

btw, my friend should be going home today with a
port so that she can continue anitbiotics for 3 weeks.
Never knew that a cat bite had the potential to be so serious..
she had even cleaned it with soap and peroxide
right after it happened.

well, heck, looks like I'm guilty
of not checking in...and I missed
the Walk!
I guess I was busy getting my house
"in order" for some out of town caringbridge
families' visit this past weekend. I only
started in February, sorting thru junk, and throwing
things away, and finding the computer room, so that
I could actually walk thru it. Devin's family from Utah,
and his grandma from Oklahoma, and Kayla's grandparents
from Scotland, and Devin's mom's friends from Rogersville, MO
were here Thurs-Mon. There were 12 of us (but no one stayed
at my house.) We met Angel Ryan Brown's family from KY who
were in St. Peter's with Nana to celebrate his little sister's 3rd birthday.
Hope I make the 2008 Walk, that's for sure!
prayers and love and special thoughts of Kailie.

I know Rachel and she is an absolute sweetheart. I am sure receiving the card that Kailie sent her must have meant a lot to you. I can't even imagine how much not having Kailie here on earth with you must hurt, but knowing that she is with Jesus must make you smile. You are all in my prayers.

I feel like I knew Kailie, and "hearing" her words just makes
it seem a reality. Unfortunately, when I 'met" Kailie, John was
doing the updates. Of course, I fell in love with her just through
his writings. And, of course, your pain and grief is magnified
by the tremendous sense of loss ...not having Kailie with you and
watching her grow up. so very, very unfair!!!

I feel bad that I haven't been by your page in awhile.Lots going on here.But that does not mean that I don't think of you for I always do.I do stop by your page to see and read the updates just haven't had time to sign your guestbook.

Valentines...... To Heaven

This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,
Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;
But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...
You see its destination is the Heavens above.

Its not being sent to my parents so dear,
For they are still with me each day of the year;
Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,
Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.

The message is the same as your valentine,
"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;
My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,
And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."

"I know you are with me each and every day,
You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;
For that is one thing that disease cannot do...
...you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."

"I know God did not give you the awful disease,
Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?
I dont know what I would do without His undying love...
Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."

"I know you are in the best of care,
But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;
Could you put in a request from us left behind...
For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."

"So that no other family has to go through this pain,
Our lives without you will never be the same;
When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...
And see you shining down your big bright light."

Merry Christmas Kailie! We missed you so much today. Christmas just isn't the same without you. Yes it is still fun, but it's just muted that's all. We can't imagine how wonderful it must be to have Christmas every day because you are in heaven. We love you so much sweetheart and that love will never fade away. It will only grow stronger and each day that day that passes means we are one more day closer to seeing you again.

We love you pumpkinseed! Merry Christmas Loolie,

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

My precious Kailie,

Lately I�ve been thinking a lot about your mannerisms, facial gestures and your voice, amongst other things. Tonight I did something very painful in order to hear your voice. I watched some videotapes of our trip to Disney World in May 2002. It was so surreal to see you on film being your funny and sweet self. You were so alive in front of me. For a moment I could forget that you were no longer here beside me and remember how wonderful it was to spend time with you.

Sweetheart, it seems like a lifetime since I�ve held you in my arms and told you that I loved you. It seems like a lifetime since I�ve felt you tightly squeeze my hand as we walk in the mall. It seems like forever since I�ve heard the most wonderful words in the world, �Daddy, I love you�. I know that you love me and always will. But it is so difficult Kailie to be separated from you. I know it is all in God�s hands and that he is a sovereign God. But I still have so many questions that will never have answers until I see him face to face in heaven. The hardest part for me is the fact that the most precious little girl on earth is gone. I want you to be here so badly. I hate the horrible ALL and HLH that took you away from me. I�m jealous because Jesus is getting to spend all of this time with you. I realize when I get to heaven that I won�t care much about my sufferings here on earth, but for the time being it is very, very difficult to face each day without you.

Sometimes I feel like each day away from you is one day cl0ser to when I will get to be with you again. Some days I am happy to have another day to be a vessel for Jesus, to be poured out and minister His love to others. Some days I just think about how hurt I am. I think about how much of me died when you left us. I think about the many �what-if� scenarios of your treatment, protocol, diagnosis, prevention, etc, etc.

Sweet girl, I love you with all my heart and I will forever be thankful for what God allowed our family to have�you. I miss you precious and hope Jesus comes back soon so I don�t have to wait 40 more years to see you. Do you think you could ask God to help us in adopting a little girl? She wouldn�t replace you, nobody could do that. Mommy and Daddy have so much love left to give that we want to have another little girl to give it to. Jaren really misses you too and hates being alone. He wants a little sister very bad. If you could ask God to help us out in this area, it would really be awesome.

I�m crying too much and have to go now, but I will be back soon. Please know that a minute of the day doesn�t pass without my thinking of you.

I love you forever, and ever my little pumpkinseed.

Your Daddy, xoxo

There is a song I wanted to leave the words for. It is by Mercy Me and it is called �Homesick�.

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbyes
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

You (and God!) provided such a beautiful life for her here on earth...and to think you will share your loving home and family with even more children is a wonderful thought. I will continue to pray for each of you and will be excited to check on the adoption progress!

Hey guys-
I thought about you all late last night, and remembered this was diagnosis day. Of course, it is on the forefront of my mind these days because Alexandria's is November 7th. It is hard to believe that both of our families lives were so dramatically changed 6 years ago this week. Seems like a million years ago, seems like yesterday. Oh how we miss both Alexandria and Kailie. I know they are so care free, dancing and playing in Heaven, but it sure is hard here on earth without them. We are so thankful that God works so wonderfully though....how He brought our families together, how He enables us to help other kids with cancer with Alexandria's Angels and Kares 4 Kailie. Such good coming from such an awful situation and loss.

Please know we always keep you in our prayers and love you all dearly.

Love and hugs-

Kailie inspires me to teach my children as much as I can about God, no matter their age. You did a beautiful job of that as her parents!! I also loved the description in your journal of what kind of mother Kailie would be...I will try to be those things in her honor...creative, love God's word, etc. Prayers are being said in your behalf, I hope you feel them!

I will visit the Pearls site. A friend from

went to a bone marrow drive for Matthew

just that he was from Missouri;
but,I did, and was able to tell the Sunday school class.

and reliving the grief I felt two years ago.
Adoption is a beautiful tribute to Kailie.
You have so much love to give and share.

Dear Rhines Family-
Just wanted to let you know that our entire family is thinking of you on the eve of Kailie's Angelversary. It is hard to believe that it has been two long years, yet two very short years all at the same time. My heart hurts for what I know you are enduring at this time.
It was great to see you at Kailie's Memorial Bike Ride and Picnic this weekend. It has been too long since I have seen my biking buddy. I also love looking at all of the sweet pics of Kailie and her Krew.

Prayers being said today and every day for you all.
Glad Ian is home too.

love, hugs, and prayers-
Alison, Grant, Hunter, Hayden, Addison, Angel Alexandria,
and player to be named in February

Just stopping in to say hello. Please know that Kailie always remains in my heart. I think of you sweet family often and keep you in my prayers. I agree that adoption is a great idea! Any child would be very very blessed to join such a wonderful family, and I believe Kailie would agree. Take care and I will add that to my prayers...God bless all of you.

Dear Rhines family,
I know this is an especially painful week coming up. I am so sorry that the pain is so deep and I would not ever expect your grief of missing Kailie to end. She was a one of a kind! I do hope she give you a thumbs up about adopting a baby sister for Jaren from Guatamala. There's a precious little girl that would be so blessed by a family like yours. I will pray about it. Hopefully, you have talked to Andy Livingstone's mom and dad. They have been so blessed by Peter and Gabrielle.
Love,

Debbie Nagy <nagyhome@sbcglobal.net>

I know how difficult that entry was for you to write. Please know that there isn't a single person out there that knew Kailie that doesn't miss her terribly. I often think of all the "sister" things we never got to do..but, then I remember all the incredible wonderful moments we got to spend together and the tears are quickly replaced with smiles. She is smiling down on us from Heaven, proud of us for what we're doing with the Foundation, loving each and every one of us just as much as she always has. I know words cannot take away the pain and loss you all feel. Just know that there are thousands and thousands of us out here who have been touched by Kailie and her family and who love all of you very much! (Especially me!) :)

Can't wait to see you all on Saturday!!! Lots of love and prayers...

johnelle- WAY TO GO GIRL!!! i cannot even imagine but am sure it was so emotionally draining and uplifting (all at the same time???) to ride tahoe. i must do that some day. cannot wait to hear about it. hope God provided all that was needed and you felt kailie's presence. what an accomplishment. i am so proud of you.

So hard to believe 2 YEARS. :( I remember the dreaded phone calls, tears, and heartache like it was yesterday. So hard to believe looking at the picture taken in Tahoe at how sick she REALLY was. That was our girl... a SMILE all the time!!!! I am so proud of my best friends and their sheer will and determination to complete the race!!!! YOU GO GIRLS!!! My thoughts and prayers were with you, all weekend, knowing just how hard, emotionally, it was going to be. I really missed you guys!!! For years I have wanted to know what it was like to have TRUE FRIENDS and now I know!!! Thanks to my 2 angels. One who opened my eyes and the other who took my heart. We love you guys!!

Happy Birthday John,I am sad to think that it will be 2 years since Kailie went and spread her wings to Heaven.Kailie will always be remembered in our home and prayers,Kailie is very special.Please don't stop updating Kailie's site we love you guys and need to know how all of you are doing.I feel the family needs to know they are not forgotten after their chid goes on to the next journey,I pray your pain will ease some but I know as a parent that is something that will never happen,how can it?,after all you lost the most precious gift,don't let anyone make you feel like 2 years is long enough to grieve your right they never lost a child or sat with a sick child feeling hopeless because you couldn't take all the bad things away that they were going through or would endure through the prosess.God Bless.

Hey there...we met Kailie 2 years ago in Tahoe at the TNT ride. Last year, we were there again, and passed out PBnJ sandwiches....a great idea we snagged from Kailie...and we gave them to riders with Kailie on our minds. This year, we didnt attend, but we thought of the ride, and we thought of Kailie..praying that the money TNT raised helps to find the cure, so that kids like Kailie never go to Heaven too soon.
Just wanted you to know we are thinking of you all, praying that God is surrounding you with comfort and wonderful memories.

johnelle- just wanted you to know that i kept you in my prayers on mother's day.
also... i just love my new crocs and beach bag, towel, lotion etc. that i got at jacob's auction. we used all the stuff the following week when we went to gulf shores as a family. madison quickly made the towel her own. i got so so many compliments on my crocs!!! they must be a new color because everyone noticed them and said so. every time i used the beach bag, i thought of kailie and made it a point to say a prayer for your family. hope you felt the prayers. i asked kailie to join me in those prayers as well.
well, since being home, i put the beach bag in our laundry room on the shelf for the summer. almost every time i walk in there(lots of laundry to do!) i notice the bag. i promised myself to always say a prayer for your family and have God's graces poured down on you.
hope to see you at lunch next week!

LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHT OF ON MOTHER'S DAY.KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY PRAYER'S ALWAYS.

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she�s cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you�ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I�ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

See you next year, if not before!
I'm heading to Utah soon to be with
Devin (my first cb friend) and to meet
Kayla's (2nd cb friend) grandparents
from Scotland. I am getting very excited!
We just cancelled school for two days and
will make them up after Memorial Day.
Mr. Guthrie (who walked, too) will be getting
his doctorate from WU on one of the days that
I'm gone, so it was a good double reason for
not having school.
oh, I forgot to say that Devin collects bracelets,
and FoCWC gave me a bracelet for him, too.
Wasn't that nice?

I know the bittersweet pain of being so very thankful that my child is healed forever and with Jesus, but aching to play just one more game of chess or one more hour of video games with him. I would give ANYTHING I have to get one more of Andy's silly headhuggies or see his beautiful smile...I often imagine the joy he would have playing with the little brother and sister he's never met. I long for the time we are all in Heaven together! I look forward to seeing you guys at JAMF on Friday! God bless! love

Hi Jaren and Ian
Yesterday in Preschool we said a
special prayer for you and Kailie.
Our theme this month is March in Missouri.
We have a dogwood tree as our
Pen Pals Prayer tree, and each day
the leader chooses 3 tags to hang on the tree.
I sorted our Pen Pals according to the states
or countries that they live in, and yesterday
our prayers were for our friends
who live in Missouri and Florida and Scotland.
When I said Ian's name, little Alec said
"Hey, my brother is Ian, too."

Valentines Day was just not the same again this year. It hurts so deep inside Kailie, that I just don't let it out as much. I still can't believe you are not here with your mommy and daddy. There are so many things I miss doing with you that I could write a book. There are some things that are always at the forefront of my mind...your smile, your tender eyes, your sweet spirit and your love. There is something very special about a little girl. I wanted a little girl so bad because I always wanted to experience the joys of watching my daughter grow up before my eyes and eventually raise a child of her own. You were stolen from us by a horrible disease that took things away from us that cannot be replaced and are absolutely priceless. I long to hear your voice. I now can only dream of hearing you say you love me. I can only imagine what it was like to snuggle with you. I can only daydream about spending time with you and hearing you laugh. Our house just isn't the same without you Kailie. I would do anything to go back and relive our last few days with you when you were not on the ventilator. I cherish each memory I have of you sweetheart. I thank Jesus every day that you are one of my children. Thank you for loving me even when it was hard. One day we will be together again. I love you with all my heart Kailie.

Johnelle and John
last Sunday the reading at church was
the fifth chapter of 2Kings......of course,
I immediately thought of Kailie!!!
And I've been thinking about her all week, too.

Hi Rhines family, just checking in to say
I am sincerely praying for you tonight. I am Nancy Cole's cousin and I met Kailie at Alexandria's memorial service and thought she was just the sweetest girl with a beautiful smile! I think of your family often and when I do, I just want to go get my bible and learn more about Jesus. Do you realize you are pointing the way to Him?!
P.S. I just read Jared's poem, please tell him I really liked it! I just know Kailie is asking God to stay super close to Jared because she just loves him and each of you so much. Sincerely and with love and prayers,

Hi Rhines Family
Just taking a break from trying to clean out
my old studio in the basement. Just threw out
records from my first year of teaching...1964!!!
Good grief. Would you say I'm a pack rat?

thinking of you all with love and prayers
