I just read your website about your precious daughter. What a beautiful girl who lit up the world. You are an extraordinary family and will be in my prayers. Your faith in God and Jesus is an inspiration to me. I wish I could write something that could lessen your pain, but words cannot do that. God bless you abundantly.

Been thinking about my doodlebug a lot today...just spent the last half hour reading old journal entries from her. It's amazing how clear her voice is still in my head. :) Hope you all are having a good week! I'll be glad when the weekend is here!

Love you all so very much!

Hi family! Hope you all had a safe trip and were able to enjoy Christmas moments with your family. :) Mom has been sick for the last few days, so she spent Christmas day on the couch and the last few days at home in bed. Some sort of respiratory thing - just hope she keeps her cooties to herself! LOL Hope you all are staying warm this week and enjoying your time together! Sending you all my love!!

Always Remembering *Kailie* - Saturday, December 24, 2005 8:17 AM CST
Dear Rhines family,
The holidays are so hard when you have lost loved ones. May you find comfort and peace knowing that Kailie lived her life to the fullest, loved each one of you and will one day be with you again. That is what Christmas is about, the promise of a baby being born...to Easter morn. Salvation is a gift that we can all receive. I am thankful that your peace can come from Jesus Christ, even though your grief and pain of missing Kailie will never go away. Praying for you.
Love,

Debbie Nagy <nagyhome@sbcglobal.net>
Manchester, - Friday, December 23, 2005 8:47 PM CST
The holiday season is difficult...and I just cling to the real meaning of Christmas...that God sent His son in the form of a baby to bring the GOOD NEWS to the people...so that we could know Him as our Lord and Savior...and be able to spend eternity in HEAVEN...with our Heavenly Father...and all of our brothers and sisters in Christ...and because of this amazing Christmas gift that God has given us...we will one day be able to see our loved ones again!

I just saw Tom's grave on Monday as my grandmother went to join Tom and Kailie in Heaven on the 15th of December...and the flood gates of tears just streamed down my face as I stood in front of my brother's grave...but I was reminded of the fact again...that God has a plan for each of our lives...and we don't know how long we have down on this earth, 13 years, 25 years or almost 87 years...but no matter how long God has given us...the most important part is that we live every day for the glory of the Lord...and I know Kailie, Tom and my grandmother all let their lights shine for their Lord and Savior!

May you feel the peace of the Lord this holiday season...praying for each one of you! Love ya lots!

Hi Precious!

I wish so bad that you were here with us Kailie. It is not very fun without you. We miss your fun-ness so much sweetheart. Life just isn't the same without you, our family isn't as happy as we were before, every new day is another reminder that you aren't coming back. Your Daddy needs his little girl so bad. I am so sad that I cannot be with you again this Christmas. Kailie, I'm so sorry that you had to go through so much pain and suffering. I know that all of it was for God's glory, but it hurts me deeply to recall the many times the doctor's and nurses had to run into your room and save your life. You are so strong Kailie, but medicine wasn't strong enough to make you better. I can only imagine how wonderful it is up in Heaven. Jessica and Jordan are with you, and Kay StPierre has now joined you there. Our hearts just ache for Erika. She must be in so much pain right now. It saddens us to think about another family having a sorrowful time this year. I wish I had a recording of you telling me that you love me, so I could play it over and over again. I miss you precious and I love you to infinity and back!!
This is one of the many songs that describe you.

You Are So Beautiful - written by Billy Preston

You are so beautiful
To me
You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see

You're everything I hoped for
You're everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me

You are so beautiful
To me
Can't you see
You're everything I hoped for
You're every, everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

It just breaks my heart to read your guestbook entry, John. How I wish I could do something to take away your pain. We all miss Kailie so much, but I can't imagine what it must feel like to be her daddy (or her mommy) and to feel that sort of ache. I am just so grateful that my doodlebug had such wonderful, loving parents, and that I am still blessed to have you all as a part of my life.

I love you all!

John-
I know how much daddy's miss their little girls and it is SO hard. There is just such an incredible bond that one cannot explain. I saw it though....I saw the way Alexandria looked at her daddy and how he looked at her. He spoiled her rotten as I am quite sure you did Kailie, and as it should be. Daddy's as "protectors", sometimes feel like they should have or could have protected their children better, saved them from their fate. Spiritually, we know it was God's plan. That just does not heal a broken heart. I am so sorry Kailie is no longer here for you all to hold, to snuggle, to take to church, to do all the things you should be doing with your precious daughter. I wish there was some way to change that...you know I would, for both of our families. I will be honored to ride around Lake Tahoe with Kailie's name on my shirt, and the love I have for her and her family in my heart......
we love you guys-

Hi Kailie,

How is my baby girl doing today? I know you can't answer me, but I know that you are doing better than I could possibly fathom. You are with Jesus Chris! I'm so thankful that you are with Jesus, but I still hurt deeply because you are not with me. We visited a new church yesterday and it stunk that you weren't there for me to introduce. Whatever new church we join isn't going to have had the pleasure of knowing you Kailie. I was looking at some pictures of you last night and tears just started straming down my face. On Saturday I was printing some pictures for Chelsea and her mom and I printed off the one of you, Chelsea and her mom when you all were in Tahoe in 2003. Right about that time Mom called me on the phone and I just started crying right there on the phone. I told mommy how much I missed my little girl and how painful it still is to not have you with me. I hated watching you die sweetheart, it was so very painful for all of us. Ninety days before you died you looked great and every doctor everywhere thought you were doing awesome and would recover from all of the chemo and the damage it had done to your body. Your recovery would be slow, but they were sure you would recover. Honey, I'm so sorry that mommy and daddy weren't able to stop what was raging inside your body. I will forever remember the setting in which you said the most precious words a mommy and daddy can hear..."I love you mommy"

I want to hold you so bad Kailie. I still need you and sometimes it becomes so overwhelming that I can't stand it and I just break down and sob. You are such a precious little girl and regardless of how sick you were, I would have gladly taken care of you for the rest of my life if God had chosen to let you remain on this earth with us. My heart is so broken Kailie, it hurts so bad, and I desperately want to see you pumkinseed. I want to give you a gentle kiss on the side of your head. I want to hold your hand as you lay in bed. I want to fall asleep while snuggling with you and playing with your hair. I want to watch a movie with you on the couch and have you lay your head on me as I have my arm around you. I even want to hear you fuss at Liza when she is being a bed hog. We have a new puppy named Mandy (named after you) and mommy and I are always saying how much you would have loved her if you were here. She of course, would love you too.

I want one more day with you Kailie; just one. I know that wouldn't be enough but I miss your presence so very much sweetheart. Mommy and I miss your fun-ness; that isn't a word but it shouled be because it perfectly describes you. There are so many things that we won't experience with you and it really stinks Kailie. Every single aspect of your growing up will be missed so much. I have to go baby, I can hardly see the screen. I love you infinity times to the moon and back, alpha and omega, as far as the east is from the west and more than words can ever begin to express.

Thank you for being the most precious, wonderful, sweet, fun, happy, encouraging, special little girl in the world.

Thank you for being my little girl and for loving me so much, despite all of my faults.

I need you Kailie, and at least you will forever be with me in my heart. But it's not enough, I want you.

I love you little buzzard,
Daddy

Hi guys! I think of you all, all the time, but words just don't come... John, I know what you mean by 'missing them more each day', I feel the same way. I REJOICE that Andy is with Jesus; pain free and running wild. But my heart aches to hear his voice and his joyful giggle. I just have to laugh when I think of all our kids, that are in paradise...can you just imagine the sounds of laughter? I long for the day that we're with them! God bless you all. Miss you.

Kailie, this is Daddy. I miss you so much precious. I had a difficult weekend while I thought of how much I love you and how much I miss seeing your wonderful smile each and every day. I wish I understood why you died. I know that God's will is perfect and you have been made complete, but as your daddy I have a very large empty space in my heart because you are not here. I could type for hours and go on and on about the many memories I have of you; and it would boil down to one thing...I miss you more each day. I'm glad you are no longer in pain, but we would do anything to have you back with us. My dear sweet girl, you are with Jesus right now and I'm so jealous. I want to be with you sweetheart; and when God decides that my job on earth is finished, he will take me home to heaven and I will join you in paradise and we will spend eternity worshiping Jesus together. I wonder how many times I've cried since you've been gone? I don't think I can count that high. My times of tears are not as frequent as they used to be, which is good. If I were asked what I miss the most about you it would be hearing your voice. I wish I could hear you tell me that you love me...one more time. I treasure the memories of our family being together. The boys love you and miss you very, very much.

Thank you for loving me!

Hey John and Johnelle,
I just wanted you both to know that I am thinking and praying for you all. Often words have escaped me. You all are such an inspiration and talking with you this week made me realize even more that we are to rejoice in Jesus. Kailie did that so often when she was facing so much. She truly lived a life as Jesus did, serving others and praising His Father. I will be praying that He will carry you through what you and your family is going through. John is was great to see you tonight. I know it meant the world to many nurses to see you and thanks for the sweet treats. I grabbed a bracelet at well that I will wear with the story of Kailie. God Bless!
Love,

Thank you for your message about Jessica - my daughter is a good friend of Jessica's and of course, we rejoice for Jess' triumph and know she is so happy now - we then have to turn to ourselves and as you know it hurts - but it helps so much to know that God has Jessica and that she is Fine! Thank you also for the pictures of Jess and Kailie - what a treat to see those smiles and know that is what they are doing again - Jessica, you are a wonder and a miracle just like Kailie was to all who knew or heard about her - have fun girls!

This is a friend of Jessica's - thank you so much for your message to everyone to pray - I hope God answers our prayers - we will need to be prepared to accept whatever that answer is - I know you understand - my heart aches for Jessica and her family right now - the poem you posted was awesome - yes, it was clear and pure and heartfelt - let your son know that - what children you have raised and helped to understand the real meaning of life and love of God - thank you for sharing all of this with us - I take comfort in believing that your precious daughter, Kailie, is sitting by Jessica's side right now, comforting her with her sweet smile and gentle touch, whispering words of love and encouragement to her and letting her know that no matter what happens, she will be okay and happy - Kailie is a guardian angel, especially to all who suffer what she is free of now and forever. Thank you

I know you all know how very very much I love you, but I hope you also know how very much I admire you. I don't know that many people who have been through the pain and tears you all have faced could be such an amazing source of comfort and support to other families dealing with this vicious beast. Those of us who are loved and supported by you are so very blessed, and I for one, am so very grateful to be one of those people.

I know that doodlebug must be very proud of you all right now. You are an example for the rest of us to follow. Love you all!

Dear Family of Kailie - Thank you so very much for spreading the word about Jessica's need for prayers - my daughter is a good friend of Jessica's and she and I are comforted by the fact that so many people care and are praying for her recovery and strength. You are such good people and I just wanted to thank you. I know Kailie is watching over Jessica too and sending all her strength and wisdom and love of God to her and her family right now. I just wanted to thank you for your kindness. Your daughter's story has changed my life. Thank you for that also. I hope our prayers are answered for Jessica.

I'll be walking for Light the Night next month,
but not in St. Louis...I'm going to Utah to join
Devin Ross' Team. (He was my very first Caring
Bridge friend.) I remember seeing so many luminaries
for Kailie last year. Of course, I'll be thinking about her
(and wearing her bracelet)
when I'm in Utah.

Dear Rhines Family,
We think of you all often & Kailies forever smiling face. Back in June when I asked Zachary how Camp Rainbow was this year he said he had a great time but he missed his friend Kailie. Zachary mentions Kailie often and when his Great-Grandpa (who was/is a very silly guy) passed in July he said, “Now Pa-Pa can go run and have fun with Kailie”. As Zachary speaks about Kailie my eyes begin to water. It is comforting to know that Zachary not only understands what he is saying but that she is truly free and playing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We love you all!

Dear Kailie's family,
I was unable to stop by yesterday due to the storm and power outage, but nonetheless, Kailie was on my mind most of the day and my prayers for you were being said. I know I never met Kailie personally, but she touched my life so much. I will never forget her and her beautiful smile and words of wisdom for one so young. Continuing to pray for you.
Love,

You all have been in our thoughts and prayers today...and our heart breaks for you as you face another first...one year without Kailie...but what blessed assurance we have knowing that she is in a better place in the arms of our Heavenly Father...with no more pain or suffering! But we know that your hearts are broken and wanted to let you know that we are lifting you up in prayer! We know you have heard this song by Mercy Me but wanted to share it again...it has been such a comfort to us...as we miss Tom...but know that he has reached those Heavenly gates, just as Kailie has too!

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 goodbye
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

Love to all!

In Christ, Parker, Ruth and Kristin <kristinkares@sbcglobal.net>

John, Johnelle, Ian and Jaren-

So hard to believe that Kailie has been in heaven for one year. Feels like just yesterday that we were painting her nails red, white and blue with fireworks at the hospital saying how she is going to love this. I miss her contagious smile, adorable emails and the way she always made you feel special. Thank you so much for making me a part of her life and your family. Know that not a day goes by that you are not in my prayers for continued comfort and peace. Extra prayers were sent to heaven knowing how hard today was going to be.

God Bless,

Dawn

John, Johnelle, Jaren and Ian-

I have been thinking about you all and praying for comfort all day. I hope the sweet memories of Kailie have been flooding your mind and filling your hearts. It has been a dreary, rainy day here, which I am sure is equal to your emotions and pain. Please know we are always here for you guys and we love you so much. It is so hard to believe that it has been a year that I sat with Kailie at the hospital, holding her sweet hand, praying over her, saying "farewell for now precious child, we will meet again." At other times it seems as though a lifetime has passed since I saw her beautiful smile that could light up a room. Her love for Jesus was amazing, and now she is with Him every day, but I know that does not lesson the pain for those of us here on earth, especially her mommy and daddy.

Hugs to you this day-

Dear Rhines - I do not know you personally. I hope you do do not feel like I am intruding - I just had to write you on this day. I have followed your story lately through another caringbridge site - Jessica Johnson - I just wanted to let you know that you and your boys and Liza Jane and the new puppy and the Angel named Kailie are all in my prayers today - you have all been in my thoughts more often than you could imagine - Kailie is continuing her mission on earth - her story, her life, her faith, your faith - has changed mine - it has given me such a different perspective on life and a faith in God - your loss and struggle to live through this - and with this - has truly and completely touched my heart - please feel the prayers and the helping hands, and the shoulders to cry on and the arms wrapped around you of people you never, ever knew would know or care about your burden - thank you for Kailie - praise God for his wisdom and love and peace on this family, please God!

Hi John & Johnelle! I was cleaning up some e-mail messages tonight and getting ready to play a couple of games with Ryan and I read your e-mail about the Kares 4 Kailie Foundation. I would love to get involved and help in any way that I can. I'll check the web site often for upcoming events.

I also read some of your entries on the CaringBridge site. It is so inspiring to me that Kailie was such a strong Christian. She was a very special young lady! I can't imagine how much you must miss her, but I know God has a very, very special place that must be just perfect for her! Wow!

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

John and Johnelle,
Every time I read about Kailie's beautiful faith and
how much she loved Jesus, I am always brought to
tears. And, of course, today on her birthday I am reminded
of the powerful message from her Celebration of Life service
that God chose Kailie to be one of his trusted messengers.
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant!"

What a bittersweet today is. Today you are celebrating your first birthday in heaven, but it is also the first birthday that you are not with me. I had so many hopes and dreams for you Kailie. I looked forward to you going to college, getting married, having children and continuing to make our lives joyful for many years to come. I never thought I would be wishing you a happy birthday in heaven. Nothing makes me more proud than my family. Nothing makes me more grateful than my children. Nothing makes me more thankful than knowing that you are spending eternity with Jesus. I can't wait to join you precious. I miss you so very much Kailie. It hurts so bad to be without you. The pain that we have in our hearts is so great; only you being with Jesus helps to ease the pain even a little. One year ago today you were so very sick and you needed a miracle. You received that miracle when you were 5 years old, his name is Jesus. We knew that God would take the utmost care of you and that if it was better for you to be healed in heaven than on this earth, that is what we wanted too. Even though it hurts beyond words to not have you with us, it is even better for you to be with Jesus. You will be my precious little girl forever and I long for the day when Jesus calls me home so I can be with you again. Thank you for being so very unselfish and so very loving. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for you. I treasure every moment in my heart that I had with you and will never forget the last time you said, "I love you, Daddy"

Happy 14th birthday sweet girl.

When I awoke this morning, and realized it was Friday, I started thinking about Kailie. For some reason, I was stuck on remembering that little mischevious side of her. :) I don't know if we'll even think of our old earthly birthdays, in Heaven, because I'm sure every day is a celebration. I know today will be difficult for you all, but I hope you can somehow focus on the fact that she's celebrating every single day...while she waits for you all. I am thinking of you all, with empathy and true understanding. God bless

Grant and I just wanted to tell you that we will be thinking of you all day today. We hope that the wonderful memories of sweet Kailie sustain you through this difficult day, her 14th birthday. I can only imagine the birthday party she, Alexandria, Andy, Jacob, Gina, and all the many other angels have planned.
Our family is so blessed to have known Kailie.
She was truly an angel on this earth.

God Bless you Rhines' family-

It's your precious daughters birthday. It is bittersweet in remembering all the joy she gave to others and to your beautiful family, but also remembering she is not here to celebrate with you. May God be with you today as He always is, and may He bless you with Joy, Love, and fond memories.
Tell Jaren I missed him last night and will miss him tonight, but I understand.
Lot's of Love and all my prayers!

Rejoicing for Kailie and all of the peace she now has. Praying for you as you continue on in this life without your precious daughter and sister. You should never feel as though others are thinking you are choosing to sustain your grief. If that is what they are thinking then they "just don't get it"! You are right.... nothing will ever be the same without Kailie here to share it with you. She will always be a blessing that God gave you. It is just so hard to understand why He only allowed her to stay here on earth for such a short time. I am so sorry that she never got to celebrate her 13th birthday. I remember it so well at this time last year and how everyone coming to her site assured her that she would "just celebrate later". Well now she can celebrate with Jesus for eternity and ultimately that is what each one of us desire. I will be praying for you and thinking of you tomorrow. God bless always.

Hi all! Just wanted to remind you that the 'little chef' is right there, in Heaven, with Kailie. I'm sure he's in charge of cake and catering for the big event on Friday. Andy LOVED food and celebrations... I'm sure that's his main calling/job, there in Heaven. (That and rocking all the babies!) Rest assured...there WILL be a BIG party! Missing them all

Your family has been in my continued thoughts and prayers. I know that it is hard to imagine that a year ago we were in Tahoe with Kailie,my first Honnor Teammate!! I am so blessed to have experienced a trip with her and more importantly get to know such an amazing young lady. I can't belive its been a year since I was checking my email every mintue waiting for word at LLS regarding Kailie and visiting Kailie and the hospital promising her I would take her to get ice cream for her birthday. She was such a strong person and has influenced so many of us and I am so fortunate to have known her. She is truly an angel!! Hang in there, I hope to see you all soon! Take care-I will be thinking of you all-Lots of Love

Hi everybody. I sit here with tears streaming down my cheeks as I read your update. Been doing that a lot lately - I found an Eeyore at Target this Sunday that played "You are my Sunshine" when you pushed his paw...I stood there in the isle and just cried. I saw another rainbow last night after the storms and started crying again. I was thinking about how a year ago today, she called me at Friends and asked me to come to the hospital...I remember crawling in bed with her and just holding her as tight as I could.

I know this is an incredibly difficult time for you all...just know that there are so many of us out here that miss Kailie and love all of you so very much!

Johnelle and John,
This weekend I went to Purina Farms and saw the donkey named
Eeyore. I thought of Kailie immediately....not realizing, of course, the significance of the date.
Yesterday I painted names on "Prayer Rocks" for my gardens.
I wanted you to know that Kailie's rock is in my impatient garden
with a statue of a little angel kneeling in prayer.

Understanding your sadness...

I read your last entry on the day that it was updated, it has taken me this long to attempt an entry myself. It was gut wrenching and heart breaking to read as I sat in tears in front of my computer. As horrible as I felt, I know it was nothing compared to how you and your family feel daily. I pray that you can find peace throughout your days and nights. I vividly recall reading that last entry that Kailie made and I remember feeling alarmed about her fever but I never imagined that would be her last entry. This young lady that I never had the privilege to meet has left a mark on my heart that will never go away. Thank you for sharing her with us. God Bless You.

Dear Johnelle,
I cannot even imagine how difficult the first Mother's Day without your precious Kailie here on earth to share it with you will be. I am so sorry she is not here to give you a big smile, hug and kiss...for I am sure that is what she would do. I hope in some way you will feel her close to you tomorrow. May God hold you tightly in His arms as I am sure it will be an extremely difficult day. I will be praying for you and keeping you close to my heart.
Love,

Hi there, I am Suzy I found your site from Andrews site. I have a little boy named Tanner who was born with congenital heart defects and with the help of Dr. Leonard Bailey and his incredible team, Tanner laughs! Anyway, my story does not end here. On January 13th 2005 my beautiful niece Rebecca was diagnosed with T-ALL. We are just entering this journey with cancer.

Thank you for all you do, Kailie sure was/is a beautiful child. It is woderful all that you are doing in memory of her. What a wonderful tribute to a very loved child.

Last year, we were in Lake Tahoe for the TNT ride. We were inspired by Kailie's spirit, and were saddened to hear that she relapsed and went to Heaven so shortly after we met her.

This year, we are riding again, and we will think of Kailie when we are there. We plan on handing out PBnJ sandwiches and ringing our cowbell, remembering the brave soldier that fought so hard.

Please know that you are in our prayers, may the Lord continue to comfort you, until you see Kailie again, in that perfect place where there will be no more pain, bma's, chemo or tummy aches.

With love,
The Sprague Family

I don't know if you guys remember me, but I'm Tara Gasaway (I got married in September) and I was a fellow patient of Kailie's and on a few occasions (when I won the argument over who got to have her as a patient) her nurse. My mom recently mailed me the program from the Friends fashion show in November. When I saw her page in the book I was devastated. I had no idea any of that was going on. I am so sorry for all of you. I got the biggest kick out of hanging out with her. I still have some pictures she drew me one afternoon while we were both hooked up to IVIG.
I just wanted you guys to know that I am thinking about you and praying for you.
God Bless,
Tara

Hi, Rhines family! Just wanted to let you know we always think of you. We had a TNT kickoff the other night and miss you so much. I am training to run Chicago this year where my cousin's daughter is battling leukemia. Hopefully she will be at the finish line - stronger and healthier! Take care and know you are always in our prayers!

My heart breaks for you and your family and the horrible loss of Kailie. I don't understand how you get through each day. God bless you - I am so very worried about Jessica and have everyone I know praying for her and her mom. Jess has fought so hard for so long I just hope and pray God gives her the strength she needs to see this battle to the end and please, God, make it a healthy, happy ending. Thank you for all you do and for all you have done and I pray for all your hearts to heal as much as is humanly possible. Pray for Jessica!

For you parents

God Made You For A Reason

When I look upon my screen
I find a happy reason
the joy that comes to me from you
is gratitude so very pleasing...

What a wonderful creator
that made a friend like you,
He placed a sweet kind person
and gave me lots of comfort too.

A world without your kindness
would be a sad sad world.

But I don't have to worry,
there's no need to be,
because of you I am very happy,
and that's good enough for me.

I've found great people everywhere,
they come into my life.
Just like you, all those others too,
have given me delight.

So I thank God I met you,
I thank him for all seasons.
Now I know for sure with all my heart,
GOD Created YOU for a reason.

Hi precious, its daddy. I miss you so much. Today is a lousy day for me. Today is the 15th. You left us 8 months ago today, and yet the pain feels like we said goodbye to you for the last time this morning. I want to be with you so bad Kailie. I want to walk into a store with you and hold your hand, or gently put my arm around you. I wasn’t ready to stop being your daddy yet. I never thought that day would come. I honestly didn’t. You are so important to me Kailie. I’m looking at a picture taken of you at the St. Louis Marathon on Sunday, April 4, 2004 and you look so good my darling. And yet 78 short days later was the last time I was able to experience a hug from you and the last time I heard you tell me that you loved me. I want to be with you so bad Kailie. But for now I will have to be content with you always being with me in my heart. Thank you for being the best little girl in the world.

I love you forever punkinseed,

Sorry to read of the problems you are having with St. Chas Memorial Gardens. That is something no parent should have to be doing, much less having problems dealing with them and not being able to get what they want for their daughter's site. My heart really aches for you as I read about Easter. I have no doubt that Kailie was greatly missed. I am so thankful that you are faithful believers in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, because I know that can be the only thing to give you the hope of reuniting with your precious Kailie again. I hope Mandy will bring you some happiness and enjoyment, you so deserve to feel that again someday. I will be praying that Mandy especially brings some happiness into Jaren's life, because I know how you have mentioned how much he has struggled and missed Kailie. Praying for all of you during this spring season. Take care of each other and God bless.

Just wanted to let you know we still think of you all often. I love reading your journal entries although tears stream down my face every time I read them. The feelings you express are exactly how we feel also. We know your pain and your loss. It just stinks that we have to feel this way. I wanted to let you know I think of Kailie everyday. She made Joshie a door hanging that hangs on his bedroom door. It makes me smile everyday when I look at it. She was such a thoughtful girl. She was always so kind and caring to us. You should be so proud of yourselves for raising such wonderful caring children.

My heart aches at the pain you are going through. But what hope we have in our risen savior. I know it's comforting to know that Kailie is with Jesus now. May he wrap you all in his loving arms and comfort you. I miss Kailie's smile and that twinkle in her eye when she talked about something that really interested her. She is so missed. May God bless and keep you.

Thanks for the words regarding Terri Schiavo. It has gripped my heart as well as a lot in the nation. I am so thankful that when you had to make the choice about Kailie, that you were not surrounded by conflict and strife. Also, that as you mentioned, God was very kind to Kailie that she was able to go home peacefully. It was a decision that no parent would want to make, but God seems to have enabled you the grace to bear this "cross". With all of the unrest in the world politically, catastrophically, and morally, it just inches believers in the Lord Jesus Christ closer to reaching our final, but eternal resting place. I thought of you yesterday, and the memories that you have stored up from Easter's past and pray that you were indeed able to celebrate our risen Lord and the hope that brings.

Found a song by Josh Groban that I think is so appropriate. I found this and was instantly reminded of Kailie.

"Remember,
I will still be here
As long as you hold me in your memory.
Remember,
When your dreams have ended,
Time can be transcended
I live forever.
Remember me. Just remember me."

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at her photo on my nightstand and miss her. I still wish I could call her on the phone and talk with her. Guess we'll all have to wait until our turn comes to see Jesus, won't we?

My friend just had her baby on March 1st. A few days later the baby (AURON) quit breathing. They airlifted him to Lubbock Texas where they have found a tumor on his kidney. He is only two weeks old and is already being diagnosed with cancer in his kidney. They are taking out his kidney on Monday. The father has lost his job because they fired him due to leaving with the baby to lubbock. It has been one crazy two weeks. Their oldest daughter was born with Angelman syndrome which is a missing piece of a chromosome. So you can see this family has had alot of stress in their lives.Please pray for baby Auron and mommy Melissa, daddy Darrel, and Big sister Sammi. Sammis website is www.geocities.com/bizzybon2000 this will kind of let you see whats been going on in sammis life. I have continuosly prayed for your family and know that you to will heal in Gods time. GOd bless you all.

Kailie,
I miss you so much sweetheart. I was at work looking at your pictures and just started crying because it hurts so much. You are the most precious girl in the world and I'm so thankful God chose me to be your daddy.
I love you pumpkinseed!

Hi all. Hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful day yesterday. I have a purple crocus that started blooming in my yard this weekend - it's never been there before...I think it's a sign from my little doodlebug. :) It was good to talk to you, John, Friday night - hope you all enjoyed the KFC! Love you!

Dear John and Johnelle,
I visited Kailie today and left a little whirly-twirly that matches the colors of her flowers. It was a beautiful sunny day (not like my visit in December, which must have been the coldest day of the year) and I enjoyed seeing the ducks and four white swans and two black swans being fed by two little boys.
Thinking of you and precious Kailie every day.

Hello Rhines,

I read something in a book that struck a chord with me, and reminded me of you. It said "the pain of losing a loved one diminishes over time, but the love endures forever." This author lost her son at 19. I know from your journal entries that your pain has not diminished, and that your love definitely endures. Kailie was truly an exceptional person. I don't need to tell you that! My prayers go out to you today and every day.

Hi family...looks like everything is moving forward with Jess. I know this has to be hard for you all, but you are setting a tremendous example by being there for Jess and her family. I know that Kailie must be very proud of all of you. :)

I love you!

Just stopping by to let you know that your precious Kailie still touches my heart and nudges me to return to her site. I have no idea what this painful journey is like, but I have children, so I can certainly imagine that it is a pain like no other. I am so sorry that you have to wake up each morning to the pain of missing Kailie. I so wish it could have been different. I am thinking of you and praying for you.
Love,

I CAN TELL YOU THAT I WILL NEVER FORGET HOW BRAVE AND STRONG KAILIE WAS. I LOST MY MOM TO CANCER ON 11-19-04 AND I KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO SEE HER SUFFER. I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT YOUR FAMILY HAS GONE THROUGH. I HAVE ALWAYS HEARD TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT. I THINK TIME ONLY PASSES. I WISH I HAD THE MAGIC WORDS TO TAKE YOUR PAIN AWAY BUT AS WE BOTH KNOW I DON'T. PLEASE KNOW THAT YOUR FAMILY IS IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR FAMILY. I AM SORRY FOR EVERYTHING YOUR FAMILY HAS BEEN THROUGH.

Hello my friends: Six months; to so many, it seems like such a short time... to those of us missing our babies, it seems like an eternity. I know it seems like everyone around you has gotten on with their lives, while you are still in such pain. Those of us that have lost our babies try and figure out how to go on with our lives... I used to be thankful that breathing was a natural instinct, because I just didn't have the strength or desire to do it myself. Please know that I have not forgotten you, although I have been a poor friend when it comes to communication. I hope you know that it's because I am still in such pain myself. Yes, our little babies are finally here, and we are elated. But... there has been a pretty steep emotional price to pay for this baby happiness. Having these babies to love and cuddle has brought memories and heartache to the surface. I keep thinking about how much Andy would love having these babies in our lives. My rational mind relizes that he's in Heaven, and could care less about this world; but my heart feels differently. I miss him, and always will. You're so right when you say that we shouldn't have to bury our babies. It felt just sooooo wrong to put my little babies down for a nap on Valentines day, and then drive to the cemetary to decorate Andy's resting place. I also know what you mean about not being able to pay for something, because you were crying too hard. Some time I'll tell you about going to the bank to close Andy's savings account; his car savings. It's just not the way life should be... I do love you guys and am praying for you. Johnelle, I hope you come to visit one day next week. Love to all
Andy's mom forever

i thought of kailie on valentine's day and remembered that you said she loved to make you cards for your anniversary and valentine's day, i believe. i thought of how your heart would ache for her. then my preschool son was working on his valentine's cards for all his friends. he was so, so, so excited! he carefully worked on writing all his friends names out and writing his own name. i would help him spell many of the names. we came to kailie in his class and i thought of your precious kailie. it made me smile and remember that beautiful smile of hers! i stared at that valentine's card for so long. it was such a beautifully written name.... just because of the name and the adorable handwriting of a preschool little boy. thank you for that gift!
Your journal entry was so beautifully written honoring kailie! it touched my heart! i cannot begin to comprehend your grief. i continue to pray for you. i wish i could do more, but truly know that prayer is far more powerful than we can fully comprehend. i love to hear kailie stories and so greatly appreciate you sharing her with us. your honest emotions help to bring perspective to me and i grow from your words. my prayers continue for your peace and strength and humble surrending- may we all continue to lay our lives at the foot of the cross. may God continue to bless you abundantly and all the glory be given to God through Kailie's beautiful life.

Hi all - I just had finished writing an entry and accidentally hit the "Clear Information" button instead of the "preview" button - ARGH!

Hope everything went well yesterday afternoon! Kristin Nilsen stopped by after she had been to your house...she said she thought something "Major" had happened when Jaren told her I was changing my name. :) She also brought me the most wonderful memory box - it has a picture of Kailie on it, along with her 2 favorite verses and the text from her Eeyore picture. Such a thoughtful thing to do...I'm going to fill it with all of the cards, letters and what not that doodlebug has given me over the years.

Praying that God's strength and love will surround us all and carry us through this difficult time.

I love you all so very much and am so grateful to be a part of your family. Love and Hugs...

Hello my dear friends-

Happy belated Valentine's Day!!! You've gotta love modern technology. Had computer problems all day yesterday leaving me fighting with Microsoft on Valentine's day. Missing our girl sooooo much these days. Can't stand it when I see an eeyore. So hard for me to even allow myself to get close to any other Caringbridge kiddos. I guess it's just going to take sometime. I'm trying to get better about getting in a routine with guestbook entries and feel Kailie's little nudge in telling me I can do it. Please know that you are always in my prayers. I love you guys.

God Bless,

My Precious,

I miss you so much sweet girl. I never thought my other Valentine girl wouldn't be here when it was time to give you a card, some of your favorite candy and some purple tulips. It hurts me so much to not have you here with me. I want to be taking care of you. I'm so sorry you got so sick. Why did it have to be such a horrible disease that no one could treat? Why were you taken away by this evil monster? Oh Precious, if there was a way for us to go back in time and stop the world and relive the last day you felt good, June 6, 2004, we would do it. I still can't believe that you are forever gone. I know I will see you again when I die and go to heaven; but a great deal of time might pass before that happens. I long to see your precious smile and eyes again. As a daughter you made your daddy's dreams come true, every one of them. I was so thrilled to have 3 wonderful children and it causes so much pain when I think about the boys having to spend another day, week, month or year without you next to them. There is a song that sums up how your daddy feels about you, Mommy, Ian and Jaren. I can’t see the monitor anymore through my tears; I would sing this song to you if I could.

I Live My Life for You

You know you're everything to me
And I could never see, the two of us apart
And you know I give myself to you
And no matter what you do, I promise you my heart

1-I've built my world around you and I want you to know
I need you, like I've never needed anyone before

2-I live my life for you
I want to be by your side in everything that you do
And if there's only one thing you can believe is true
I live my life for you

I dedicate my life to you
You know that I would die for you
But our love would last forever
And I will always be with you
And there is nothing we can't do
As long as we're together

I just can't live without you, and I want you to know
I need you like I've never needed anyone before
(repeat 2, 1)

Wow, yeah I live my life for you


Happy Valentines Day Precious, you are my special valentine today, forever and always.

Your Daddy

I just wanted to say Hi and let you know I think and pray for you every day. All of us, who live around you, profoundly miss, cry and grieve for Kailie, more than you will ever know. We are all still in a state of shock . We miss deeply her smiling face and presence in our lives. Please let me help you if I ever can. I want to do things for the foundation and Patrick and I are getting in shape for cycling events in the future. Kailie has motivated and inspired us to help all we can. Abby is with Kailie. Cannot belive that Abby had cancer. Missy is lost without her and there is such a deep void in the house. I agree with you, it all stinks.

I found your site on sharethe love. You have a beautiful family and I know your using Kallies love to keep going -one day at a time!

Hi Kids...PRAISE THE LORD, I WAS BLESSED TO GET MY INTERNET UP AND RUNNING AGAIN...I went to kares4kailie just the minute I got on line....Johnelle, I just talked to you awhile ago and I can't wait for you to come to visit. I can't believe my oldest grandchild is thinking of COLLEGE??????????? I tried reading some of the current messages from your WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL friends. There is soooooooooooooooooo much love for you. If only our hearts could comprehend the abundance of love that Kailie is experiencing now. I love and miss her so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to read each and every message from these friends, but I can't tonight and I will have to have a box of kleenex beside me. I did want to share this poem that I found and told you about. I pray that you get a blessing from it, as I did. Titled: PATIENT ENDURANCE Patient endurance......The priceless gift of pain...Patient endurance......New strength to walk again God knows where you are going, and the place where you come from ...He'll hold you when you're weary, even if your heart feels numb.....When it seems you have no courage, just can't face another day.....Even then the Lord is with you, HE won't let you lose your way!.... Tragic times have got a purpose, Though they seem to make no sense.....You may think you've been abandoned, that the pressure is too intense....STill, the Lord is always near you, through the stretching and the hurt.....Jesus' peace will fill the void as HE finishes HIS work. THEN........Comes the day you share God's comfort with another one who is down...You become the arms of Jesus for HIS sheep so they won't drown...And you see a gift unfolding, compassion born in broken lives....You will sense enternal glory as with Eagles wings you fly!!!!!!! I love you John, Johnelle, Ian, Kailie and Jaren always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MOM, Branson Grams....

Hi all! Can you believe this weather? 70 degrees and then snow? I had the brainy idea to go home at lunch today - took me about 45 minutes to get there - but boy did Sasha have fun out in that snow! :) Hope you all are staying warm and dry. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night! Love you!

Hi guys! You know what?!?!?! Even if you did moan and complain (which you don't), you have every right in the world to do so. A part of your soul is missing, and there is a huge unrepairable hole in your hearts. We're Christians, and have hope in Christ...but we still hurt because our babies aren't here with us. I have to stop and laugh sometimes... wondering what kind of shananagins is going on in Heaven?!?!!? I can only imagine! God bless you all. love ya

Hi family! Looking forward to our Kares 4 Kailie meeting - I know Kailie would be so proud of us for what we're trying to accomplish! :) I've noticed that whenever I need to know that she is 'here', that we sing one of her favorite hymns at church. This weekend was "Lord I lift your name on high"...I could just here her singing it right there next to me.

Love you all so very much!

I don't believe anyone that comes to Kailie's site would ever think that you were "moaning" or "complaining" when we read your updates. Your updates are so sincere and honest. It does pain me to read them and my heart breaks for you as you have to live your life without Kailie. People come to Kailie's site to remember her, see how her family is doing, and to send their support, love and especially, their prayers. Kailie touched so many people, she does live on in so many ways, just not the way that most of us, and especially you, desire. I would never try to even imagine the loss you are feeling, but I can have compassion and love for you. I am so sorry that Kailie is no longer here to share her smile and love for life. Her site continues to be a blessing to all who choose to come here.

In His love,

John and Johnelle,
Please don't hesitate to update Kailie's page. It lets me know how you're doing and how I best can direct my prayers. It will also be part of your healing process, so I encourage you to write whenever you feel lead too. The entries are much more for you and your family than for those of us who hold you close to our hearts. Thanks so much for sharing.

John and Johnelle,
I hope you are able to get "Kailie's home". Last month I was in the library at church/school writing my cb friends, and your neighbor Kathy came in. Her school is across the street from my school. She started to tell me about Kailie.
I said I KNOW KAILIE! I just wrote her parents. Small world, isn't it? (I've know Kathy for 5 years because Mrs. Guthrie, my assistant, has been helping her in the art room twice a week for at least 15 years... I think)
with love

My precious doodlebug...I was very sad this Christmas without you. I missed getting to hear about your trip to Kansas City and all the wonderful things that Santa brought you, or what Liza had done with her Christmas gift. But, then, I remembered that you got the greatest gift of all - you spent Jesus's birthday with Him, in Heaven. What could be better than that? And, that made me happy. :) Your big sister misses you every second of every day, and I can't wait until we can be together again.

John, Johnelle, Ian and Jaren - You all were on my mind so much this weekend. I can't even imagine what it was like for you all. My prayer is that in 2005, God will begin to fill your hearts with peace, and that He will comfort each and every one of you.

I'm looking forward to getting together with you all soon. Sending you much love and prayers...

Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Thank you so much for sending us a Christmas card. I LOVED it!!! Naturally I cried for OHHHHHH 10 minutes!!!! Know I am holding you near and dear to my heart. Please let Jessica and her family know that I am praying for a very speedy recovery. Monday at 4:00pm I am schedule for a platelet donation at St. John's for Jessica. My first since donating for our girl. She would want me to do it for Jessica. I can't not even begin to explain to you the impact Kailie has had on my life. I have never had a child (beside my own) take my heart like she did. Her smile, her eye, her wisdom, everything about her!!!! How could you ever be down in Kailie's presences???? You just couldn't!!!! What a sweetie. Thank you so much for sharing your sweet loolie b with me. I treasure your friendship more than you can imagine. Talk to you soon.

I had good intentions of sending you a Christmas card, but I couldn't find a sentiment that seemed appropriate. So, just know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts this Christmas.

I came across the following poem on the Internet that I hope encourages you now and always.


I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like heaven's stars
Reflecting in the snow.

The sight is so spectacular
Please wipe away that tear
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear
But earthly music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here.

I have no words to tell you
The joy their voices bring
For it's beyond description
To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
Trust God and have no fear
For I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor
Or the peace here in this place.
Can you imagine Christmas
With our Savior, face to face?

May God uplift your spirit
As I tell Him of your love
Then pray for one another
As you lift your eyes above.

So let your hearts be joyful
And let your spirits sing
For I'm spending Christmas in Heaven
And I'm walking with the king!

Dear Rhines Family,

You wrote, Kailie said that "if one person comes to know Jesus through my having cancer, then it is worth it all".

What wisdom from your young daughter who suffered so much. I read your current journal entry and am always so glad to see that others see the urgent necessity of getting others to accept Jesus as Saviour and LORD. And Kailie is so right that even if it is one soul who comes to the LORD because of Kailie's faith, it is worth it!! The angels rejoice over the repentance of ONE soul! Kailie's good deeds have surely followed her to eternity with Jesus.

But for parents left behind, there is much suffering although we who believe grieve with a blessed hope.

Thinking of you this Christmas season.

God bless,

Touching & inspiring update. Your family has been much on my mind lately. Christmas for you, for me and for so many others will never, can never be the same. And although I often find myself wondering, after the loss of a precious child, if holidays are more to be endured than enjoyed, we all find a way to "enjoy" and "endure" because that's the way God, Jesus,... and our daughters would want it.

Just this morning, I asked the Lord Jesus to comfort you during this time when we celebrate His birth. May the Peace and Comfort that can only come from Him fill your hearts.
In Christ,

Please know you can call us anytime day or night and we will be there for you.
As I count my blessings and recall all the many things I am thankful for this Thanksgiving, I put our friendship high upon the list.

Kailie-
Oh sweet angel....How much I miss you. I can't walk down the Winnie the Pooh isles at the store without crying thinking "oh Kailie would love this". No matter how much my heart hurts I would not change anything about the time we had together except spending more of it together. We will have plenty of time for that in heaven when we meet again.

Good morning all. Yesterday at church, the sermon was about the 'gifts' that we give to one another...the whole time, I kept thinking about the beautiful gift that Kailie has given to me. Because of her, I have a little sister. Because of her, I have YOU all in my life. Pretty amazing for a little girl of only 13.

I know this week is going to be difficult for you all. Just know that I'll be thinking of you and praying that God will fill your hearts with peace. I love you all!

Dear Johnelle, John, Ian and Jaren,

Today was the service at Mt. Zion to remember family members who have died within the last year. There was a white carnation on the altar for each person. After the name was read, the organist tolled a bell. I was given four carnations in honor of "my" Caring Bridge children, Kailie, Michaela, Cheyenne, and Connor. It was a very low-key, yet touching. I know that the congregation was deeply moved. The organist got off her bench, and gave me a hug at the first service, and the choir director came over to hug me at the second service.

I will send you the bulletin and a picture of the altar after Thanksgiving. (I am going to Ohio to be with my stepchildren and grandchildren.)

With much love and blessings, I give thanks to you for sharing Kailie with me.

That is an amazing and beautiful entry. We are so grateful Kailie is healed; yet long for her presence. Through your pain, the love of God continues to pour out on you and those you touch. Thank you for living out God's will.

Dearest Rhines Family,
You all are often in my thoughts. I pray that God (although I know He will)will continue to give you strength and encouragement as you go through each day without your precious Kailie at your side. I know the holidays will be an even tougher time, but I know God and your many friends will help you through them. Know that extra special prayers will be going to God for each of you.

Dear John and Johnelle-
I just read your update from Sunday and I had to pause for a moment. I said some of the same things in my update yesterday without having read yours. Strange. Johnelle, I enjoyed having lunch with you again this week (this is starting to become a wonderful habit !!!!) I meant what I said in my update and e-mail to you. I am in awe of your strength, your faith, and the love you have for your family despite such difficult times. You amaze me. You inspire me to learn more about Jesus and living the life I should. I do, however, want you to always know that I am here for you. It is okay not to always be strong. We are human, and our loss is great. I will always offer a listening ear or shoulder to cry on. I know you would do the same for me. God so richly blessed me and my family the day we met the Rhines' family. Our lives have been touched and we are better people because of our friendship.
Love and Hugs to you guys-

You know, this kinda reminds me of a song by Mark Shultz... I think it fits.

Packin' my bags this morning
Was the hardest thing to do
Packin' my bags was so easy
Than just standing outside your door right now
To say good-bye to you...
(Think of me) I know you've never seen me cry...
(Think of me) But it's so hard to say good-bye...
(Think of me) What can I say to show you I will be waiting for you

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
We'll pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground.

I know that it feels like leaving
Is a part of letting go
But I pray that in hope and believing
That I'll see you once again down this road
I know that it won't be long.
(Think of me) I know God bought you as a friend
(Think of me) I know He'll bring you back again
(Think of me) What can I say to show you I will be waiting for you?

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
We'll pray that the Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground

(Think of me) I know you've never seen me cry
(Think of me) But it's so hard to say good-bye
(Think of me) What can I say to show you I will be waiting for you...

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
We'll pray that the Lord we've found
Oh I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
And even in your darkest hour
We'll pray that Lord we've found
Will set you on solid ground...

What a beautiful journal entry. There are so many emotions, and yet, you have expressed each one in the way that so many cannot. Kailie will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her. And I know, that she is very proud of all of us, and that she is with us always. :) I love you all so much! Can't wait until we can be together again. Much love and prayers...

Hello friends... my heart breaks over and over and over for you. I understand down to my core, what you are all going thru; know how badly it hurts. I think of Kailie often & treasure the baby Eyores given to our babies, in her memory. What a perfect gift! (Even Glenn 'got it' as soon as he saw them) I have sooooooo many wishes; but only one will come true now...one day SOON, the Lord will return & we'll be reunited with our very special children. Praise The Lord that we have that hope! love you guys

Dear John and Johnelle,
Next Sunday is Totenfest/Remembrance Sunday for the Methodist Church (where I sing in the choirs) and I've asked to have Kailie's name in the bulletin along with Michaela, Cheyenne and Connor. Those four beautiful children have touched me deeply.

Hello Rhines!

I too, just dropped by to see Kailie's smile, and to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I think about the friendships that have formed, and the trials that we have faced through TNT, and none of that would have been were it not for Kailie. (At least not for me.) I am so thankful that you shared her life with me. I am going through some challenges with my mother now. Having witnessed Kailie's strength and courage and faith are really serving as a guide for me. I hope to see you all soon!

Hey. I thought I'd drop in and say thank you for sharing your daughter with me and my family, and with all of us here. She was (and still is) a great inspiration to me. There's not a day that goes by when I don't look at her picture on my nightstand or think about the good times we had together. I also want to say thanks for the birthday present. I know that both Sydney and I really missed having Kailie over at my house watching "Holes", talking about boys, and raiding the pantry. You all are always on my mind and in my prayers, and doubtlessly in the prayers of other people all over the country. I hope that God will ease your pain and will help you to remember that Kailie's always there, right by you, even if you can't see her.

Hi everyone! I miss seeing all of you. I want to visit but I just don't know what to say. I LOVE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH! and I always will. Kailie was trully one of my best friends. She was amazing. I pray for each one of you every day at school. I acually have her picture in my locker and in my planner. All of my friends know how much I miss her. I just tell them she is happy and I can't be sad. It's hard at times, whenever I look at my ladybug things, or my nike shox, or whenever I see a eyore stuff animal I think of Kailie. I want to visit sometimes, I think that would be very comforting. I love you all very much and I will keep you in my prayers forever and ever!! I promise!!!!!!

As I read your journal update and your guestbook entry to Kailie my heart literally is aching for all of you. The pain and grief is surely unbearable and the only thing that possibly can make you continue getting out of bed each morning and trying to function in everyday life, is your faith and trust in our Lord, Jesus Christ. I am so thankful that you know the Savior, and forever thankful that Kailie knew Him and is now in His eternal presence forever. She is so beautiful. Just coming to her site and seeing her smiling face at the top of the page warms my heart. She is such an inspiration to so many, even if she is no longer here on earth. I will continue praying for all of Kailie's family, but especially Jaren. May God continue to give you the strength you need to go on without your precious daughter.
In His love,

Debbie Nagy

Precious,
How are you today? You are probably having so much fun in heaven. I bet you were very excited when you saw Mom Griffin arrive last week. Last night Daddy saw Joshi's little sister, Morgan. She is so cute; you would love her too, like you loved Josh.
Your precious face is before our eyes constantly. We can't stand it that you are gone. Our lives our so different now, and we don't like it. Our hearts ache, tears stream down our face, there are times we cannot sleep, we go visit you at the cemetary, we go into your room and hold something that was yours and just cry, we sleep with Listy and we can't get enough of you. Your Daddy just sits at work and cries sometimes when he looks at your picture and realizes that he can't go home after work and give his little girl a kiss on the head. It hurts so bad Kailie. We never thought it would be this hard or that the pain would be so deep for so long. You were so important to our family. A family isn't supposed to be broken apart like this. Parents aren't supposed to bury their children like this. Brothers aren't supposed to hurt because you are taken from their lives so suddenly. You deserved so much more here on earth. After all you went through since your original diagnosis you deserved to be a healthy little girl. You didn't do anything to get this horrible disease called HLH. You didn't deserve to die this way. We know you wouldn't choose to leave Jesus' side for a second; but we sure wish you would have been able to stay here with us for a while longer. There are so many things about you that we miss; but most of all we miss your smile. You will always be your Mommy & Daddy's little girl, you will always be Ian's little sister and you will always be Jaren's big sister and bestest friend in the world.

Mommy, Daddy, Ian, Jaren & Liza Jane miss you so much. Mommy is painting Jaren's room, and she wants to do your room next. You still have unopened birthday presents sitting in your room. Your room is pretty much the way you left it when you went to the hospital for the last time on Wednesday, June 9, 2004. It seems like yesterday that we were holding you and telling you that everything was going to be okay, that you would win this fight too. Well, you won, but not how we thought you would. You were scared, but you were determined to beat it again. Well Precious, you beat cancer and HLH the best way anybody could ever want...you're now safely in the arms of Jesus. I hope you don't mind us writing you letters, but it makes us feel better when we think about how wonderful you are and how much we miss you. This is so hard Kailie, we love you beyond words sweetheart. Tell your friends we said hello and we'll give Liza Jane a big giant hug and a kiss from you.
Until we meet again, so long, but just for a while.
xoxoxo

Hi guys... my heart is broken for you all. I know exactly what you're going thru, completely understand your pain. I wish I could tell you that you do 'get over' it, but I know we never, ever will...till we're dancing in Heaven with our babies. I've said many times, that everyone should have to deal with some sort of crisis; to truly understand and appreciate what they have. I wouldn't wish THIS on anyone. My heart breaks for the boys also, and I will continue to lift them both to The Lord. I'm sure it's especially difficult on Jaren, he does see things in black and white. I'm so very sorry... I guess for all of us. God bless

Dear Jaren,
I am so very sorry that you are having such a difficult time. We all miss Kailie so very much, but I know it must be so much harder for you. I know that I could never take away the pain you feel, but please know that you have another 'big sister' who loves you very much and who will always be here for you. Love and kisses, Kelly

And to the rest of my family...I love you all so very much and I wish so desperately that there was something I could do to ease your pain. Please know that no matter what, I am always here for any of you. Always in my thoughts and prayers...

I remember hearing Kailie play that song so many times...it's a good memory to have. She always looks so beautiful sitting at the piano. I bet she plays all the time now. :) I know that some day we will all be reunited with her, and as much as I would give anything to have her be here with us right now, that knowledge does bring me comfort.

I miss my little sister so much, but I am so happy that I still have you all as family. :) Much love to each and everyone of you...

Precious, We already sent you a note today, but we can't tell you enough how much we love you. You are so wonderful. We wish so desperately that we were still together. The pain is horrible, Kailie. It is amazing how such a little girl can make such a huge difference in the lives of those who knew her. You are that little girl. Your Mommy & Daddy still can't believe that this is all so true. Sometimes when we cry we expect to see you come up to us and tell us everything is going to be okay. It has been almost two months since you passed away and it still seems like yesterday we were sleeping next to you and giving you kisses. We can look back and see us falling asleep with you when you were little. We would snuggle with you each and every night. We miss that so much. There are so many things that aren't the same, most of all our family. You can't be replaced, and we wouldn't know how to even attempt it. Our family will go on, but it so strange for it to be the four of us. We have gone out to eat a couple of times and we hate telling them that we only have four people in our party. Ian is working now, so he isn't home much. We never thought of raising Jaren without you. We love you Kailie. We want you back so bad, but we know that cannot happen. Regardless of what we know to be true, there are times it just does not seem real. Every memory we have of you will be etched upon our hearts forever. Nothing can change the fact that you are our precious little girl forever. You will forever be Ian and Jaren's sister. You will always be with us in our hearts. You are loved beyond description and comparison. Mommy & Daddy will have three children forever and ever. We are not depressed; but we are full of sorrow. We do have hope and that hope is Jesus Christ. We do have a future; God has specific plans for Mommy, Daddy, Ian and Jaren. We don't necessarily know exactly what those plans are, but that's okay. There is a song that you played so well and the lyrics are below just in case some people haven't heard it before. It makes your Daddy cry when he hears the instrumental version of this song because he can see you sitting at the piano, with your back straight and your precious little fingers striking each key with precision.

This is Your Time
Lyrics by Wes King
Music by Michael W. Smith

It was a test we could all hope to pass
But none of us would want to take.
Faced with the choice to deny God to live,
For her, there was one choice to make.

This was her time. this was her dance.
She lived every moment; left nothing to chance.
She swam in the sea; drank of the deep;
Embraced the mystery of all she could be.

This was her time...

Though you are mourning and grieving with us,
Death died a long time ago;
Swallowed in life so that life carries on.
Still it’s so hard to let go.

This was her time, this was her dance.
She lived every moment; left nothing to chance.
She swam in the sea; drank of the deep;
Embraced the mystery of all she could be.

What if tomorrow, and what if today,
Faced with the question,
Oh what would you say?

This is your time, this is your dance.
Live every moment, leave nothing to chance.
Swim in the sea, drink of the deep,
Follow the mercy and hear yourself praying.

Won’t you save me?
Won’t you save me?

This is your time, this is your dance.
Live every moment, leave nothing to chance.
Swim in the sea, drink of the deep,
Embrace the mystery of all you can be.

This is your time, this is your dance.
Live every moment, leave nothing to chance.
Swim in the sea, drink of the deep,
Embrace the mystery of all you can be.

This is your time ...


You fulfilled everything Jesus had for you to do here on earth. He chose the easiest way for you to be healed, and he took you home to be with Him in heaven. Our hearts may be sad, but we will rejoice again. We love you Kailie, thank you for being such a wonderful daughter, sister and friend.
Hugs and Kisses Forever,

I still have this image of our table at the Alexandria's Angels golf tournament. I can't imagine how difficult that day must have been knowing that Kenny and Kailie were in the photo TOGETHER there last year. I so wanted to speak to you at Kailie's celebration, but couldn't manage to speak at all. You both made it easy to talk about Kenny and Kailie at the October 5 golf outing, however, recounting their strength, sharing stories about doctors and hospitals -- both good and bad. When none of the food sounded good to Kenny, John had Pizza Hut deliver a pepperoni pizza right to Kenny and Jenna. Without robbing you of your blessing for reaching out to us, bringing sodas, water and pizza during the dinner, I want to thank you for a very special way to end a very special day.

Johnelle and John,
It was a definite privlege to meet you two wonderful parents at the walk on Saturday. It turned out that I knew two other Krew members: Diane, who designed Kares4Kailie's logo, and I worked together at my previous school. And Kathy (I hope that name's right), who rode her bike for LLS, was in my OASIS training workshop (to be a tutor) last week. The nice folks at the walk gave me an extra t-shirt to send to LaKota in MN because Saturday was her birthday, and since the date was on the shirt, I thought she'd like to have it.
And when I went to the Scottish Games in Forest Park Saturday afternoon, I got a $5 discount because I was wearing my Friends of Kids With cancer t-shirt. That was a nice surprise!
Much love and continued prayers for all the Rhines Family.

Hi Family,
I hope Jaren is feeling alittle better,change is so hard for a child,losing Kailie will be the hardest thing he will go through.I wish there was a way to help your family,but I know the love your family gives each other will finaly help Jaren,Ian is a strong young man but I'm sure he is hurting just as hard,he was always with Kailie at her appointments and he just showed so much love for his sister.As a parent I know what you are going through it is an awful awful disease and the nightmare never ends for us.I pray for your family daily and I will pray extra for the boys.God Bless you all

Hey girl, I miss saying that to you. I would love to teach you piano today. But you can now teach me a few things. I love you so much. I love your family so much. I'm so thankful Jesus is holding you now. He is holding us too. We can't make it without Him. I love you.

Dear John & Johnelle, It was so nice to meet you yesterday at the golf outing. Please know that I will be praying for you and your family. I'm sure that Kailie and Sarah have meet through Alexandria and are enjoying each others company. Sarah gets to be a big sister in heaven. My thoughts are with you as we go through this journey of grief.

It was good to see your family in church Sunday even though
it was obvious how painful that was for you. Your family is in my prayers. Always praying for enough strength for today. I heard a quote recently that has meant a lot to me
and I hope it will to you, "the power within me is greater than the task before me". Kailie was a beautiful little girl and will remain in our hearts.

Hello John and Johnelle,

A friend left a kind guest book entry on my daughter's site a week or so ago. She quoted Diedrich Bonhoeffer, a well-known Lutheran pastor. He has a very interesting comment on grief that goes against today's myth regarding death and the absence of the one we love. It always helps me to see that I am not wrong in feeling that I will always deeply miss my daughter, Gabrielle, who died at the age of two from neuroblastoma.

"Nothing can make up for the absence of someone whom we love, and it would be wrong to try to find a substitute; we must simply hold out and see it through.

"That sounds very hard at first, but at the same time it is a great consolation, for the gap, as long as it remains unfilled, preserves the bonds between us. It is nonsense to say that God fills the gap; God doesn't fill it, but on the contrary, keeps it empty and so helps us to keep alive our former communion with each other, even at the cost of pain."


Thinking of you.

God bless,

The abundance of love and support you have is AMAZING. I am sorry for your loss.
I read of your tears and would like to tell you if I may. Hold on to your tears because they can show you that you have not forgotten how to feel.

You do not know me but a friend of yours bought something from me on Ebay and saw the link to my son's website and told me your story with a link to Kailie's website. She was a beautiful, beautiful little girl that I am sure that you are very proud of and miss terribly as I still miss my son 19 months later and I am sorry to say it doesn't get any easier. The 1st's are especially difficult (1st Xmas, 1st birthday, 1st anniversary, etc.) but try to focus on the good things and DO NOT be afraid to seek help from a support group because as wonderful as family and friends are unless they have lost a child they don't really know what to say or how to help which is frustrating for both sides. I will be keeping your family in my prayers.

Hello, my name is Kelli. I found this site through the Peal's site and just wanted you to know that I am praying for you! Just by reading your words, I can see that your daughter was a very special person and although I never got to meet her, she has impacted my life a great deal. Thanks to the Pearl's and other children such as your own daughter, I was motivated to add my name to the Bone Marrow Registery that the Cardinals held in honor of Matthew Pearl.

Hopefully other people out there will remember your daughter and other's in need and do anything they can to impact a life positively.

God Bless you!

You are often on my heart and in my prayers. I just don't know what else to say other than I am so sorry. I am so very sorry that you have such pain in your hearts, that your heart feels so empty without your daughter. I look forward to the day I get to meet Kailie. I feel like I know her, and I miss her, too. But her story lives on... Glory to God.
With all my heart and prayers,

I know there are no profound words of wisdom to offer. I am just so sorry that you are having to be without Kailie. I know she will always be in your heart, but nothing is like being able to reach out and touch her and see her smile. I too rejoice that she is with Jesus, but my heart aches for you as you have to endure this pain of being without her. I am continuing to pray for all of you.

Dear Family, yes it does hurt. I too miss her so much and my heart hurts for all of us! So many times I pick up a piece of fabric and think I'll show Kailie how to use this for a qu......then I remember I can't do that. Or I hear a song, see a balloon, see a ladybug, a color of purple. Yes the hole is large and God will fill it, but it will never be the same. I'll continue to blow kisses to her and SEE HER AGAIN WITH SUCH JOY!

Morning family. Yesterday, I was in need of a 'sign' from Kailie....and I'm pretty sure I got one. I was taking the trash out here at work, and on my way back in I could see this very shiny object on the parking lot. I looked down and found the brightest, shiniest 2004 penny I've ever seen. And it made me think of the "Pennies from Heaven" story - that when we find pennies on the ground, they are really signs from our loved ones that they are there looking down upon us. :) I felt so much comfort thinking that Kailie had put that penny there for me. :)

My desk is loaded with pictures of her and I, and some of just her. Every day I look at those pictures and remind myself that she is why I am here. Kailie had such a profound impact on my life. I had waited so long to have a little sister before I met her. And the second I met her I knew that God had brought her to my life for a reason. I feel so proud and honored to be her big sister...even though she may not be here with us anymore, that fact will never change.

I love you all and am praying for you constantly! Look forward to seeing you soon!

St. Louis, - Thursday, September 16, 2004 7:57 AM CDT
John and Johnelle, Thank you for the updates as painful as they must be to write. When I pray, I pray the words of the song "When answers aren't enough, there is Jesus". Even though we can easily dispense advice, until we walk in your shoes there will never be enough words of comfort that we can say. It is then, that we do realize that when answers aren't enough, JESUS is there. He is able to bring about a supernatural peace that can sustain us from moment to moment. Praying that God takes you into the supernatural realm of peace that only He can give and truly fill the emptiness in your hearts until you see Kailie again. Father God, please comfort this family beyond anything that we can pray or ask for. Please confirm in their hearts the plan that you have for them that will give them joy. Allow them to feel your presence at all times, give them strength and courage to face each day with hope. When it is quiet and still Lord, guard their hearts and their minds. Thank you that we can come before you and know that you hear our prayers. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I was thinking yesterday about missing my first-thing-in the morning prayer for Kailie although I continue to pray for all of you. Last night I saw two luminaries with Kailie's name on them at the LIGHT THE NIGHT walk. I was so glad I had my camera because I took a picture and will put it next to my picture of Kailie.

Dear John, Johnelle, Jaren and Ian:
I'm sitting here with tears running down my face because I just read your letter to Kailie. You are a wonderful godly family and we will continue to pray that Jesus will always comfort you and surround you with his lovingkindness. Because of your powerful testimony, I wrote a letter to my six brothers and sister about Kailie's story and shared the gospel because they don't know Jesus as their Savior. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and may Kailie's life bring more people into the arms of Jesus. Love, Carol Blau

Such a beautiful and heartfelt letter to your precious Kailie. Thank you for sharing it with all of us in cyber space. It was a blessing to me to be able to read it. I also want to thank you for asking people to go by the Pearl's site and pray for Matthew. I did work the drive, and yes it was awesome to see so many people added to the registry in one day. I will continue to keep all of you close to my heart and in my prayers in these extremely difficult days.

Somewhere in my dreams tonight
I'll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
"Life isn't always fair"

You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously hand picked bouquet
"God really needed me,
That's why I couldn't stay"

It's said to be that angels
Are sent from above
I've always had my angel
My Mother - whose heart was filled with love

Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you and I
When I look up at that sky so blue
All I see are visions of you

"While there's a heart in me, you'll be a part of me."

I hope you all are doing well. I am still praying for Kailie. It's a habit that I am not looking to break. I miss seeing her, and listening to the stories you would tell on your page. Just remember even if she is *not* here with you physically, she'll always be looking down at you. It took me a while to believe in that. But now that I do, I am looking to encourage all the people I can with that piece of knowledge. I wish you and your family all the best!!

Dear Kailie's family:

Your words, your faith and your daughter just continue to touch me. I cannot even begin to imagine what thoughts and feelings you are experiencing. Please know that so many of us do not even know what to say but we still want you to know that we are thinking of Kailie constantly and praying for understanding in your heart when it is so difficult to put all together.

John & Johnelle-
Your words in Kailie's Journal posted Aug. 25th really touched my heart. I can't begin to imagine the feelings you're having right now. I know so many times I've thought of how I would react to your circumstances - you've been so brave & trusting, but at the same time I know you grieve for precious Kailie. I am soooo sorry you have to experience such pain - my heart breaks for you. I will continue to pray for your family. I know this is an extremely difficult transition. I wish I knew the right thing to say, but just know you're loved very much, prayed over constantly and thought about every day. Much love, You Cousin Stacey

Today at church we sang Kailie's song, "Shout to the Lord".
We know He is "her comfort, her shelter, tower of refuge & strength, all that I have never cease to worship you..."
The words of the song we sang at her celebration reflect her spirit. We know Kailie relied on Jesus. Her spirit will forever worship Jesus. The Lord provided more opportunities today to share Kailie's life.
We are joining wtih Kailie in worshipping our Savior. I shared with others how she was saved from this world of sin. Healed and now comforted in our Saviors arms. I will not let Kailie's light fade, only shine brighter than ever.
Your cousin, Stephanie

We are praying for you as much today as we have for the past 4 years. Every time someone asks "Hi, how are you." I've been telling them about Kailie and how she would want them to know Jesus. The response is amazing. Know with confidence that her presence is active and reaching many.
Love ya! Your Cousin, Stephanie

I am sorry for your loss. I was browsing through my emails today - just deleting excessive unecessary emails - when I came across an email Kailie sent me. I signed this very guestbook on February 6, 2003. I decided to click the link at the bottom of the reply Kailie sent me. This is the first I heard of this news.

Best wishes to you all. I will keep you in my prayers.

I am so thankful that you are planning on continuing Kailie's web site. It continues to bless so many people. I can only imagine how surreal everyhthing seems right now and how empty your hearts are feeling with Kailie no longer here with you to talk to and touch. Just don't ever forget that even though your hearts are so empty, that is where you will keep Kailie close until you see each other again in heaven. I know words are of little comfort during this time, but I do want you to know that I am continuing to pray for all of Kailie's family.

In His love,

The Celebration was just what any little girl would desire.
The balloons, the video and the call to Christ was so special. Her purpose is continuing as more families are being served and Jesus is being revealed. Kailie's life resembled Jesus.

I still come to the website several times a day...just to see my little sister's beautiful smile. :) I'm afraid that I just don't have the words to express how I feel about you all. I have always felt that Kailie had such a gift for being more concerned about those around her than she was for herself, and through all that has happened the last four years, I know that she received that gift from her Mommy and Daddy. I feel so fortunate and blessed to be able to call you all my friends, but even more so, to call you my family. Know that I am here for you any time, day or night. I also hope the boys know how very much I love them, and that I will always be there for them too.

With much love always, Kelly

To Kailie's family- Rachel Baumgartner is a dear friend. She told us about Kailie several months ago, and I have checked your website. We lost our daughter, Mary Beth, 3 1/2 years ago, to cancer. We feel very similar to you, in that we are not sad for Mary Beth. She is with Jesus. But we are here on earth without her. That leaves a hole in our life- daily. All I can say is - we had the 1st year to go through all the 1st times without her- birthdays, holidays... And we got through that, and our life isn't so concentrated on the loss of her- but it nevers goes away- we have just learned to somehow, someway, somewhat live again. Our other children need us to. But I will never regret the time I took to just deal with the bitter reality of our family never being whole again. And Mary Beth is daily in our life- just in other ways. She loved purple. Purple shows up in our lives at the most remarkable times. I know it is her. and that brings soo much comfort.

Your beautiful Kailie has truly blessed many lives. And now she will continue to bless us, just in different ways.

I will be praying for all those who love Kailie. May God continue to comfort them as they learn to live on earth without her.

Thank you John and Johnelle for the update, even though that is probably the last thing on your mind to do it is good to know that you are surviving as best as can be expected. You give so much wisdom and direction in how we can relate to your pain in even a small way. While I cannot pretend to know what you are going through, it is a comfort to know that when tragedy comes, that God will surely see us through to the end and we can still have hope. I just can't imagine how someone who does not know the Lord gets by. I think we are all certain that God is going to use your family in a BIG way. Please know that we think of you throughout the day and sometimes into the night.

John and Johnelle-
My heart truly aches for you all because I know, I understand your pain all too well. I just checked the website, as I always do several times a day, and was glad to see an update. We love you guys so much and are so thankful for the closeness that we share. Fate and God brought us together, our love for eachothers' daughters is what has made our friendship grow over the years. We are in awe of your family's strength and love for the Lord. We are blessed to call you friends. As you travel down this very difficult journey of excruciating pain and heartache called grief, please know that Grant and I will ALWAYS be here for you, any time, day or night. From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank you for the wonderful gift you have given us over the last few months........the gift of precious time with your daughter, Kailie Amanda Rhines.
I know the girls are looking down on us and have been reunited in heaven. We are praying for you all in these most difficult days and weeks to come.

With all our love-

Another angel takes flight.

My deepest, most sincere sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!! Kailie was a fighter, there is no doubt about that! She is now pain free, free to fly in the Heavens and watch over all of you!
We lost our precious Pam on Oct. 7, 2003, so I know what you are going through. There are no words that can ease the pain.

The worst thing that can happen to a parent is to lose a child. It feels like someone ripped your heart out. You go from the unbelievable to the unbearable.

Kailie is in a good place now and I'm sure Pam is with her. She just loved children so much.

I would just like to share a saying that was on the card my wife Diane picked out, and we bought for Pam:

If you were a star
That wasn’t expected back
In the universe
For a thousand years,
I’d wait.

If you were the sky
And everyone went inside
When you got sad
And started to rain,
I’d stay.

And if you were a peach
And the world decided to get rid of all peaches,
I’d pick you up,
Put you in my pocket…

AND KEEP YOU……..FOREVER.

I would also like to share, with you and your family, a poem that was put on Pams website:
God's Garden


God looked around His garden
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face

He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.

He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace Be Thine."

It breaks our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

You are all in our prayers. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

We were sent the news of your daughters homegoing from a friend in Kansas City. We know the Pearls and when she noticed their name she sent us your site. Your family will be in our prayers. I was reading in John11:38 today, and when I read this portion I wanted to share it with you. "Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." For some reason I could just hear the Son of God, God in flesh , speak in such a loving and gentle voice; yet one of conviction and truth say,"Take away the stone." He alone knew what lay behind that stone. While everyone else shuddered at the thought of seeing the lifeless body of their dear loved one, Lazarus; Jesus Christ Our Lord knew instead His words,"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." His words were about to be fleshed out in the body, spirit and soul of Lazarus. As soon as your daughter left the temporary restraints of this earth, her Savior said,"Take away the stone" can you hear the love in His voice, the compassion, the truth of those words. Your precious daughter is now experiencing her inheritance that is incorruptible and undefiled and that will not ever fade away, and that had been reserved in heaven for her. I really don't know what to say for the deep sadness you feel right now, the void of not having her with you, but our family will pray for you, that God will comfort your family in a way that He alone can do. One thing we are sure of, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, your daughter is home with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and God her Father and all the holy saints of the Old Testament and New Testament and the angels." And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no ore pain, for the former things have passed away." Behold, He makes all things new. We are praying for you. Love, Marty and Bev and Nathan Zide

To Kailie's family,

What an absolutely perfect celebration of life! Seeing so many pictures of Kailie, her drawings and paintings, her writings, her medals, her Eeyores...so many things to bring me closer to a child I loved and prayed for, yet never met.
And then the service began in the sanctuary..... those, beautiful, beautiful pictures of Kailie with a smile that always radiated love and truly served as a witness of knowing and feeling God's love for her. I cried because I felt I was so close to someone who accepted Jesus as her best friend.

Dr. Griffin's (I think you call him Dr. Bob)delivered such a moving and powerful message. 2Kings 5...of course, I reread it when I got home. Yes, God did indeed choose your Kailie as a messenger, too.

The next day on Sunday, August 22nd, Brenda West, the pastor at Mt.Zion United Methodist Church where I teach Preschool,gave a wonderful sermon in which she told the congregation about your precious Kailie and her extraordinary faith. I know Kailie's story is one that won't soon be forgotten by Brenda's congregation.

And, yes, Paul K., I too, by God's grace, will look forward to seeing Kailie's smile face to face. Amen!

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
I can feel His mighty power and His grace
I can hear the brush of angels wings
I see glory on each face
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place

Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers this week! Remember, she will always be with you in your hearts even though now you can't physically have her here, she is there in spirit.

All will draw near to Him tomorrow. It will be so awesome to see all the glory from Kailie's life. The heavens will be rejoicing as Kailie is home with Jesus. I pray the Lord will bless you during the cermony. Know that today, tomorrow and the days to come Kailie has brought thousands to Him. She is such an eternal flowing fountain. Her waters will continue to flow till we all reach Heaven. God bless you.

Dear John and Johnelle,
I am keeping you in prayer, especially for tomorrow. I am so sorry you have to go through this. It is a pain that no one should have to endure. We are blessed though as Christian parents to know 100% that we will again hold our children, and to know that God will never leave us through this time of deep sorrow. I know the feelings you are feeling right now, it is an unexpainable pain, yet I also know the peace God gives us even now. I pray for that peace for you. It is a long road to travel until you are with your precious girl again, but you are not alone, Paul and I will be here with you whenever you need us. We are forever brought together through Kailie and Jacob and our relationship with the Lord. We love you all.
Love,
Lisa and Paul

Dear sweet family, What a testament your words and Kailie's site are to our Lord. Praise Him, and praise you for your testimony. Your sweet girl is a beauty-I see in her smile and sparkling eyes that same contagious spirit that I saw in my son Robert. They never knew each other here on earth, but I am certain they are friends in heaven. As I read your final moments here and got to know your daughter through your words, it was as if I could see my Robert waiting to greet her as she stepped into the presence of their Lord into their eternal home. I am so sorry for your loss and the pain-no matter what we know and how much faith we have we still ache and hurt beyond words. God bless you all-I will pray for peace for you all. Kathy Charlton

Kailie is now in the arms of God where she has found peace & comfort. You now have the difficult task of trying to go on without your precious little girl. She was truly a gift sent to us all by God. I will treasure my memories of her spirit & her smile. While Kailie may be gone in body, she will live on in the lives of those she touched. I was honored to have cared for her, & to have been able to tell her one last good-bye. I'm looking forward to celebrating her life with you tomorrow. You remain in my thoughts & prayers.

I've opened Kailie's site everyday this week so that I can continue to be uplifted by her beautiful faith and the faith of your family.

Dear John, Jonelle, Ian, and Jaren

I just wanted to let you all know that I have been thinking of you. I have watched you all go through so much with Kailie's illness and observed your strength and courage through it all. I hope the love and support from those who care about you embraces you and helps you through this difficult time. Kailie was a precious and special girl. She not only touched my life, but she touched many others with her presence, charm and smiling face. I am honored to have known and cared for such a wonderful, brave girl as well as her family over the years. Kailie will be forever in my heart and your family will be forever in my thoughts and prayers.

This really breaks my heart---what an understatement. And, I know that "a broken heart" doesn't even begin to describe all that you are going through at the moment. Certain people just capture my heart and your family was one of those families. Please know that I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. What a testimony your entire family is. Kailie will be just like Jesus in her death as she was in her life. When Jesus walked the earth, he had a tremendous impact. When He left the Earth, He had an unsurpassed impact on the entirety of history. As much as Kailie touched people in her life, I can only imagine how much God is going to continue to use her story of faith and courage to touch people around the world. Blessings and love to you in Christ. I will check back in on you soon.

I came to visited from Janice's site and want to say how sorry I was that Kailie became an Angel. My daughter Michelle became an Angel on May 31, 2004, after a battle with diffuse pontine brainstem glioma since June 10, 2003. She was only 9. I also want to let you know that your in our prayers, love from Kim m/o Michelle.

Dear John and Johnelle,

I am so sorry for your deep loss. I heard about Kailie's site from Jan Livingstone.

Kailie is a beautiful girl and while this is the greatest pain parents could ever know, I am glad to see that Kailie knew the LORD! Her faith is incredible...a gift from the Heavenly Father.

She is resting now and her soul is joyful and she will wait for the rest of her faithful family to join her some day.

Praying for strength from God.

God bless,

THIS SIDE GOD'S GOLDEN GATE

The Lord God, He had need of me.
It was the Father's will,
There was a job He needed done,
One I would best fulfill.

He sent for me, though very young,
I heard Him call my name,
I didn't want to heed His call,
He called me once again.

I'm alive, completely healed,
In the Presence of the King,
Fear not! Your prayers indeed were heard,
A brand new song I sing.

And though I know you miss me so,
From morn til nighttime late,
I'm blessed more than you'd dream or hope,
THIS SIDE GOD'S GOLDEN GATE.

Note:
I have prayed for Kailie for a long time. Like so many of you, I believed God would heal her. And He has!
Early Sunday morning I dreamed the Lord was returning for those who gave their lives to Him and as I was on my way up in the clouds to be with Him, I held the hand of my twin sister and kept repeating, "Thank you Father, Thank you Lord." I was so excited, I was speaking in my sleep and my husband awakened me.
As my husband and I were driving to Florissant, MO, I wanted to share this dream with my him, but decided to give more thought to it and determine what God was saying to me before sharing it with him. However, I kept pondering this in my mind on our way to visit my Goddaughter and her family. I wondered if we would be in an automobile accident and I would be leaving my family to be IN THE PRESENCE OF THE KING. Clarification of the dream came to me after returning home today, reading my emails, and hearing about Kailie's Homegoing. I had prayed for her Saturday evening. I believe God gave me this dream so that it would comfort all of us, and expecially you, her family. She knew what was happening, she saw her King, and she was holding the hand of someone very close and dear to her.

May this poem ring out her message to you, I'M ALIVE, COMPLETELY HEALED IN THE PRESENCE OF THE KING!

The Lord gave me this poem years ago after the passing of a precious little girl who so bravely battled leukemia, as did Kailie. We're praying for you. God be with you.

Love,
Don & Hildred Lewis

John & Johnelle-
Your entire family has been such a testimony to me & so many others throughout Kailie's illness. I've watched you go through so much and to witness your strenghth & courage throughout it all is a true testiment to your faith in Jesus Christ. I know I've been far away in miles & regret I didn't e-mail more or call, but please know you were constantly in my prayers & your story was shared with many others, & you were lifted in prayer by them as well & will continue to be lifted during this time. Kailie impacted so many lives through her illness - she was so strong & so brave and gave God all the glory. She completely trusted in him every day & what a testimony! I myself have learned alot from Kailie - she put each day in God's hands & what ever came her way she trusted in him that he had a plan. She always seemed cheerful & optimistic & I know that came from her strong faith. I know she is spreading that cheer around Heaven today, singing with the angels. I will continue praying for you. Much love, Your cousin Stacey

She looked like a little Angel in her pictures. She had a great Love for Jesus. I am sure Jesus is holding her on his lap and smiling down at her. He is very pleased with
the gentle Love she showed to others. Kailie is healed and well, and living her new life with happiness, being close
to her Lord & Savior. Kailie your strength has encouraged
me... Thanks for the precious memories you left behind for all your Family.

To the Rhines Family: I can relate to your pain very well and I am so sorry you have to go through it.I only took care of Kailie a few times but always managed to find time to hug her and her black puppy that she carried around when she was up on the Peds floor. She was a real trooper and sweetie. She will be forever in my heart and your family will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope the poem that you'll read will help you as much as it has helped me.
"For those who love me,
When I am gone release me, let me go,
I have so many things to see and do.
You must not tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love. You can only guess,
how much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you have shown,
But--now its time I traveled alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It's only for a while that we must part.
So bless the memories that lie within your heart.
I wont be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and i will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,,
I'll greet you with a "Welcome Home."

Dear Rhines family,
My heart has been aching for all of you for quite some time, but especially since Sunday morning. There are no words in the English language to express to you how sorry I am. I believe with all of my heart that Kailie has won over this terrible disease called cancer. She fought the good fight and won the ulitmate battle and is now with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I could always feel that she was clinging to Jesus throughout her entire illness. It was always evident in her journals. She had a faith that was way beyond her years. The Holy Spirit was very much a part of Kailie Rhines, He lived within her each and every moment. I never met your little girl, but she touched me greatly. Very much in the same way that Alexandria Haddock touched me. I would say that they are in very good company with each other in that regard. I grew to love Kailie and her family through Kailie's web site and my life will be forever blessed because of knowing her. I read in an e-mail that came to me about another child yesterday and I could not help but think that it applied 100% to Kailie Rhines. It said, "Death is not the enemy of the child of God. It is very painful for those left behind, but ultimate joy for the believer." Kailie now is basking in ultimate joy in the presence of her Savior, and for that I will ALWAYS rejoice. My prayer for Kailie's family in the difficult days ahead will be for strength and peace. May you be surrounded by many of God's people and may they help to carry you and lift you up during this heartbreaking time.
In His love,

Debbie Nagy <nagyhome@earthlink.net>

Dear John,Jonelle,Ian and Jaren,
We met at your church around the middle of May, the Sunday my nephew Paul Kempland preached. It was good to finally meet you. I first learned about Kailie from my daughter Karen Todd. With all you were going through you still took the time to pray for her during her trial with breast cancer. She was always so encouraged by Kailie and your family, your strong faith and complete trust in Gods will.
I can't even imagine losing a child, but I know that God tells us that "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 and "Blessed are those who mourn
(have deep sorrow),for they will be comforted" Matthew 5:4
I don't know how, but His word is true. We will pray for your family. God bless you.

Dear John and Johnnelle,

The last time we met was such a joyous event. Dennis and Stephanie's wedding. We were so happy to get acquainted with you all. So many changes have happened since then. We are so sorry for your loss. Your little girl was very brave. We have kept up with her illness through Dennis, Stephanie, Breanna and Barrett. They loved her so much.

When we go through the valleys of life, our strength is in the Lord. During these trying times, our faith increases as we depend on him for comfort. We draw closer to God for these times, even though they are so painful, he will be there to comfort us. There is a place in your heart that will forever be a space held for your wonderful daughter. Even though she is gone from this earth, she will still be there, in that little space.

Our prayers are for you and yours. May your burdens be lighter because of Him.

I wish I could find the words to express what impact your daughter has made on so many lives and how much she will be missed. Just to hear her talk about Jesus and the joy she had when she spoke of Him makes us realize the joy she has now, the unimaginable joy that is in her heart when she fell into His arms. What helps me (I just lost my dad) is to know they will never experience pain, unhappiness, sorrow of any kind and they will always live in our hearts. We will always feel they are near when we need them the most, because their love for us does not end, nor ours for them. Knowing your family and how Christian you are I have all thoughts that you will not get through this, along with the comfort you will find from your friends and family and what is left over all the prayers will lift you up. I am here if you need anything.

When tomorrow starts without me
and I am not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me.
Wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today
while thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love YOU,
And each time that you think of me,
I KNOW you'll miss me too!
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above
and that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
As I turned to walk away
a tear fell from my eye,
for all my life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die!
I had so much to live for,
so much yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we share
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday
just even for awhile
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe even see you smile.
But then I realized that this could never be
that emptiness and memories
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of YOU, and when I did
my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates
I felt so much at home
Then God looked down and smiled at me
from his golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you today
for life on Earth is past
but here starts anew.
I promise no tomorrows
but today will always last,
and since each day is the same way,
there's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true,
though there were times you did some things
you knew you shouldn't do.
You have been forgiven
and now at last your Free,
So won't you take my hand
and share your life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think were far apart
for everytime you think of me
I'm right here, in Your Heart!

GOD'S GARDEN

God looked around His garden
and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you
and lifted you to rest.
Gods' garden must be beautiful,
He always takes the best.
He knew you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never
Get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered "Peace Be Thine."
It broke our heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
We love you and we miss you.

Dear John and Johnelle, You've been on the hearts and minds of so many today...especially those of us that truly grasp and understand all you are going thru. Lisa and I were talking about how we don't cry for the child anymore, we cry for the parents and the pain they are feeling. Then... we had to laugh when we thought about the fact that our kids truly ARE smarter than us now! While we remain here on earth, with so many unanswered questions and doubts...they have those answers!!! Bet our 'teens' love that fact! :) God bless you both, and much love to Ian and Jaren.

God Only Takes the BEST!

God saw she was getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He wrapped his arm around her
And whispered, "Come with me!"

With teared filled eyes
we watched her suffer and fade away
Although we loved her deeply
We could not make her stay

A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands put to rest
God broke our heart to prove to us
He only takes the best!

Dear Rhines Family,

My heart goes out to each and everyone of you during this hard time, but am so very thankful that Kailie knew Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and have the reassurance that one day we will all get to see her again up in Heaven because of what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us by dying on the cross. The verse you picked 2 Timothy 4:7,8 is the same verse we used for my brother, Tom...what an awesome testimony Kailie was to everyone she came in contact with and now she is receiving her crown up in Heaven...I can just picture Jesus looking into Kailie's eyes and smiling at her as He says to her, "Well done, my good and faithful servant!"

Ian and Jaren, I must say that tears come to my eyes when I think of you...I understand what you are going through as I lost my sibling...know that you were blessed with one very special sister...and that she loved you both very much...and I know she knew how much you loved her too. The memories will always be in your heart...and you need to continue to share Kailie's life with those you come in contact with! It is okay to show your emotions! Cling to your family, but more importantly turn to God...because He is faithful...and He is holding you extremely tight in His loving arms!

Love to all...your sister in Christ,

Kristin

No words simply work to express my sadness or give any understanding to what your family is going through. Please know that I pray for peace and unity and strength for your family in the days and weeks and months ahead. Our finite minds cannot simply process all that is taken place with Kailie yet our faith tells us to rejoice in her eternal life. Kailie and your family has been such an inspiration to my faith journey and I continue to see all of the events of the last 3 years or more show God's glory. You have continued to give honor to the Lord in all of the struggles and have allowed this whole ordeal to give praise to His name even in the smallness of our minds where we cannot truly grasp it all. Thank you for that strength and gift you have witnessed to us. I do truly believe that from where Kailie stands she would not choose anything else. It now all makes sense to her. God makes no mistakes. So I have nothing to offer you in this confusing time but my prayers for you and your family. May God's graces be poured down upon you and may you be open to seeing all of God's hand in this. Kailie and you continue to touch us and help us to reflect on God's will and the choices we make in our lives. God will bless you for your faithfulness.... of course, not in this life but for eternally. Although this life may seem forever without your sweet girl, it will be just a drop in time in comparison to all eternity. God bless you John, Johnelle, Ian and Jaren.

Hi, John & Johnelle.

I first of all want you to know how much it has meant to me to know your family and Kailie. You all have touched my heart in a way I didn't know was possible, and I have learned so much as well. I pray that God helps both of you and Ian & Jaren through these tough times. That he gives you all strength through his love.

Also, I want you to know that my life has forever been changed because Kailie was in it; and that I am so glad that I was lucky enough to have gotten the chance to know such a special girl. Thank you for sharing her life with us.

PS. I went out and bought an italian charm for my bracelet with a picture of Eeyore on it so that everytime I look at I will think of Kailie and remember all of her spirit and strength.

I love you guys.

Even on those days when she wasn’t feeling her best, she always had a smile to share. My heart aches for all of you. I know she is in a peaceful place with no pain, no needles, no medicine. A place where she can draw and paint, polish her nails, ride horses all day. Those of us left behind will carry her beautiful spirit in our hearts forever.

Kailie's light is shining so bright in our world and the heavens above.
She has shared her precious testimony with so many.
Her sacrifice has taught us so many lessons.
Thousands of souls have drawn near to Jesus because of Kailie's life.
Her flame will continue for generations. I will keep sharing her love with the people around me. They are passing her love along as well.
Thank you for sharing her life with so many.

John, Johnelle and family I have never met you, but through the loving and heart felt stories and updates I have received from my dear friend Kelly Ethington, I feel like I know you. I have two little ones of my own and can only begin to imagine your loss. I am so sorry for your loss, but at the same time so happy that Kailie is free from these earthly burdens and under the direct love and care of Jesus Christ. I was honored to know her even if only through stories. Thank you for sharing. May the Lord give you strength through this time.

Dear John and Johnelle, We just want to let you know that even though we haven't talked to you recently, you will always hold a special place in our hearts. I remember when Kailie was born we had a baby shower for her. She will be loved and missed by many. But we know that she is in heaven and all who know Jesus will get to see her again. Your family is a precious example of Jesus love, and I pray that you will rest in Him, and know that he cares for all you. We love you dearly.

She also filled that one verse in one of my favoe hymns, "Amazing Grace":
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that hath lead me thus far
And grace will lead me home.
I'll miss you, Kailie, but I'll see you again. Thank you for everything you did for me. You won the war and you fought so hard. It's about time you got a break, Little Sister.

John and Johnelle, These are the lyrics to the song that Dixie Bly mentioned a few posts down. It is a beautiful song with a wonderful message.

Untitled Hymn - Chris Rice

Weak and wounded sinner, lost and left to die
Raise your head for love is passing by;
come to Jesus, come to Jesus, come to Jesus… and live

Now your burden’s lifted and carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain,
so sing to Jesus, sing on Jesus, sing on Jesus…and live

Like a newborn baby, don’t be afraid to crawl,
And remember when you walk, sometimes we fall,
so fall on Jesus, fall on Jesus, fall on Jesus… and live

Sometimes the way is lonely and steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark, and pours the rain,
then cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus… and live

And when the love spills over and music fills the night,
When you can’t contain your joy inside,
then dance for Jesus, then dance for Jesus, then dance for Jesus… and live…

With your final heartbeat, kiss the world goodbye
Go in peace and laugh on glory’s side, … and fly to Jesus … and live
Fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and live.

The pain is finally over after such a long and hard fight. She fought so bravely and taught everyone of us around her how to do it gracefully. (Not an easy task for a 13 yr old). May she rest peacefully and painfree. Continuing prayers for John, Johnelle, Ian and Jaren, that they may get through with God's strength.

We are so very sorry for the loss of Kailie. Sydney only got to know Kailie for a short time through Julie but their sleep over was one that Sydney holds dear.

Your sweet little girl who was so ill for so long has now run through the gates of heaven, straight into her Savior's arms. One day you too will enter and Kailie will be there to meet you. Oh how we all long for that day, for joy comes in the morning.

We continue to lift your family up in our prayers for courage, strength and comfort. God Bless.

My heart goes out to you. Kailie touched my heart from the get go. Although I never got to meet her,I felt like I have known her always. I prayed for her always non stop. She was always on my mind. I have a 13 yr old son and he would also ask me how Kailie was and we would pray together. I will now pray for comfort and peace for your family. God bless your family and know that Kailie is all healed and happy with Jesus. We love you all from Texas. God bless.

Dear Family,
I am so sorry your baby had to leave this life before you, but don't you just know how wonderful it is to be free of anything related to this awful disease.Thank God we serve a risen Savior, who was there to walk her thru the valley. There is a song by Chris Rice, "Untitled Hymn", that so describes the life and death of one of His saints and your precious child has "flown to Jesus". Praying for your broken hearts to be healed in God's time.

You don't know me, but I have been a faithful follower of Kailie's only recently when someone had introduced her to me. I am so extremely sorry for the loss of your precious baby. I know no words can ease your pain and fix your broken heart, but I want you to know that I'm praying for each of you...tonight, I will say a special prayer to my mom who's in Heaven to watch after Kailie till it is your time to be reunited again. May God grant all of you the comfort and strength you need to go through this most difficult time...sending all my love your way...

In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Dear Rhines Family,

You don't know me but I am a friend of Alison Haddock and have been keeping up with your family thru the web and Alison. I am so sorry this is the way your journey had to be. Mine is also a journey of loss, my beautiful daughter Sarah Elizabeth left this world to be with her sweet Jesus on Feb. 28th, 2004. She was 15 and was very close to the Haddock family. She died suddenly without warning, sudden cardic arrest. I am sure that she and Alexandria welcomed her with big hugs and kisses. I feel your pain and will remember you in all my prayers.

In Hope,
Evelyn Johnson

Good-Bye
by Sondra Burnett

Into His hands I send you now;
If I could keep you with me I would some how;
But you have been chosen to be by His side;
The angels have come to take you for a ride.

Up above the clouds where Heaven is waiting;
Jesus has His arms opened wide;
So good-bye for now my sweet lullaby.

Letting you go isn't easy to do;
We hope you know how much we love you;
The time is come to tell you good-bye;
We'll see you again someday in the sky.

Up about the clouds where Heaven is waiting;
Jesus has His arms opened wide;
So good-bye for now my sweet lullaby.

So good-bye for now my sweet lullaby.

Words can't say enough to express what you must be feeling right now. I'm so sorry. May God fill you and your children with indescribable peace. Don't question any of it. Some things don't have answers. You did nothing to cause this tragedy. But, thank the Living Lord that you planted Jesus into Kailie's heart while she was living so that now she lives eternal and one day will wrap her arms around you once again when she welcomes you to heaven.

John, Johnelle, Ian, Jaren and Extended Family, Our hearts have been broken today. We are praying for you during this very difficult time and hope that you find comfort in the words to the following song that speaks to the heart of a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. So thankful to know that Kailie is in God's hands.

IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW
Written by Kim Noblitt and performed by Truth

Our prayers have all been answered;
I've finally arrived;
The healing that had been delayed;
Has now been realized.
No one's in a hurry;
There's no schedule to keep;
We're all enjoying Jesus;
Just sitting at His feet.

Chorus

If you could see me now;
I'm walking streets of gold.
If you could see me now;
I'm standing tall and whole.
If you could see me now;
You'd know I'd seen His face.
If you could see me now,
You'd know the pain's erased.
You wouldn't want me to ever leave this place.
If you could only see me now.

My light and temporary trials;
Have worked out for my good.
To know it brought Him glory;
When I misunderstood.
Though we've had our sorrows;
They can never compare;
What Jesus has in store for us;
No language can share.

(Repeat Chorus one time)

Last Chorus

If you could see me now;
I'm walking streets of gold.
If you could see me now;
I'm standing tall and whole.
If you could see me now;
You'd know I'd seen His face.
If you could see me now,
You'd know the pain's erased.
You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place.
If you could only see me now.
If you could see me now.
If you could only see me now.

She was a strong little girl, who never gave up! Now she is your angel watching over you!! Hang in there! God Bless you all! P.S.

I am so thankful I had our trip to Lake Tahoe and that our team was able to complete their goal for Kailie. I know that times are going to be rough, if there is anything please let us know. She was a strong little girl, who never gave up! Now she is your angel watching over you!! Hang in there! God Bless you all! P.S. Thanks for always taking pictures John, I will treasure the ones of Kailie and I.

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
I Thessalonians 4:13-18

My heart breaks for your family. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers every day!

Love and Prayers,

A Hymn of Promise (by Natalie Sleeth) for Precious Kailie:

In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity.
In our end, a resurrection; at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

With love and prayers for the Rhines Family
and their friends.

Meghan Morris told me about your website and I thought I'd check it out. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I know that being in the hospital is no fun in any way at all, but keep fighting, and I you can pull through this. You have a very positive attitude, and that always helps recovery go more quickly. God works in mysterious ways, and He will always be with you. Be strong and I hope that you get well soon!

hi kailie! we miss seeing you in the office, but we definatly think of you all the time. i can't wait for you to be more mobile and feel like doing stuff again -- i have quite a stash of jewelry supplies for you to go crazy with. just remember that NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, ALL OF YOUR ST JOHNS FAMILY LOVES YOU, MISSES YOU, AND THINKS OF YOU ALL THE TIME. it's totaly amazing to me to hear about your strength of faith and determination. i know that they will lead you further than you could possibly imagine one day. and maybe that day is coming sooner than you think! we all can't wait for the day that you will be smiling and cheerful again. i get a warm fuzzy feeling just thinking about it. hang in there kailie, we know you can overcome this.
i also wanted to take this time to wish the rest of kailie's family peace and strength. i know this is a hard and stressful time (especially not being at 'our' hospital), but stay vigilant in your fight for kailie's over all well being. i don't really know much about the cardinal glennon hospital, but sometimes you really have to push to get what you feel is right for your child anywhere you go. i hope the boys are coping with the situation all right. i wish there was some magic thing you could say to make it all ok.
anyway, i deeply wish you all the best. hang in there kailie, you CAN do this. take care and we will see you all later.

love--

Kailie,
Yesterday was my birthday. I know you have only one wish when you blow out your candles, and you have to keep it a secret or it won't come true, but God knows what I prayed for, and He's the one who can make it happen, so now we just have to be patient, and trust that Jesus loves us more than we will ever know, and His arms are around us even if we can't always feel them, and that He hears us when we pray to Him....OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!!

Morning precious. I just got back from a meeting, so that's why I'm late checking in. :-) I'm so glad Rachel and I were able to come visit with you last night. I finally got to meet Dr. Kelly, he seems like a very nice man. I think you'll like him - but, I've already warned him that you might "slap" him around a little when you're awake. LOL You know, he was part of Rachel's transplant team too - he was quite surprised to see Rachel last night. He said you challenge him just the way Rachel did! (That a girl - keep him on his toes!) :-) I love you sugar bear...I'll see you very soon!

Hey, Girl. I know I haven't signed for awhile, but be assured that I'm begging God every day that He'll heal you and quick. Waiting to be able to see you again, and maybe I'll bring someone you've been wanting to meet. Yeah. Hope you get off that awful vent soon and that you'll get back to St. John's in a hurry- Glennon's just too far away. LYLAS!

Kailie and Family,

We are praying for you guys every day and Connor continues to ask how Kailie is doing. He said today that he knows she is getting good rest in the hospital and he hopes she is out soon. Connor also said that "her room is full of angels, and that they are watching over her". We are coming to St. Louis next week for work and he said he would color her Pokemon pictures all the way there. We know that the Lord is in total control, and loves Kailie greater than we could ever imagine. We're looking forward to her full recovery!

Hey sweet angel!!!

I miss you sooooo much!!!! Keep fighting, you are so strong!!!! Soon we will be sitting, laughing & scrapbooking with mom. WE HAVE A DATE!!!!! I'm holding you to that!!! Went out to check on my new house the other day and you would have just had a fit if you were with me. As I got out of the car the horses, in the field behind us, came up to the fence. They are so friendly!!!!! I took pictures to show you. You are going to have to get out of that hospital because I need to know more about horses and who better to tell me than you. I love you with all my heart.

God Bless,

(That is, without bothering you all every other day.) I did mail a card the other day, so I hope you got it okay. I also want to say that I am praying for Kailie, and for you all, every day. I even printed a picture of Kailie to put up by my desk. So, not a day goes by that I don't think about her. Lastly, Kailie, you keep fighting and hanging in there. I want you to get better reallllllly soon!

Always in my prayers,

Precious Kailie....I've been in the sanctuary at Mt. Zion praying for you and your family and everyone at Cardinal Glennon who is taking care of you. My best way to pray is to sing and so I chose special hymns to sing just for you.

I also found a prayer in the hymnal that I prayed for you.
"God of love, we thank you for all with which you have blessed us even to this day:
for the gift of joy in days of health and strength,
and for the the gifts of your abiding presence and promise in days of pain.
Above all else we thank you for Jesus." Amen

Kailie, I mailed you a special note this morning to the hospital. I hope you get it tomorrow.

I love you.

I am sure that you are weary and tired, but with the strength of God it becomes possible. You keep fighting young lady! Remember that there are so many of us learning and growing from you. The Lord continues to teach us much from you. He is so proud of you and your strength and your faith. Your faith is reaching and teaching so many others. Remember all the prayers being said for you right now and try to rest in that. Keep fighting! I will continue to keep praying! May we all see God's glory through this all. Peace Kailie and family!

The power of prayer is so awesome, I know your mom and dad are really tired right now, the kind of tired that no one else can understand. I pray for strenght and rest for them, and I pray that God will heal you Kailie. I love you and can't wait to hear your sweet voice.

Singing songs at church today made me think of Kailie. Since she can't sing because of her ventilator, we will all have to sing and raise our voices in praise & worship for her. Hopefully, a few months from now, Kailie will be healthy enough to stand and sing at church with her own beautiful voice. Oh, how I pray that day comes soon!

I want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. You are such a strong and inspiring person to know. I have watched you from my first meeting at the Disney '03 kick off night to the Light the Night last summer to the Lake Tahoe '04 kick off.(I was actually part of the San Diego group, but followed you through the Tahoe participants.) You and your family seem to have strong enough faith to get you through anything that you face, but I have shared your story with many others and want you to know that we are all praying with you. I continue to check on you through your website, which is an awesome site in itself. Keep fighting and get strong enought for that tranplant.

I pray that God will renew your strength as I know how tired you are. You are an awesome family with awesome children who understand the importance of a relationship with Jesus. Please know that we are here and we know how hard it is for you so you are constantly being lifted up in prayer. God loves you and so do we.

Kailie, God has blessed me and my family by meeting you and your family. We have grown closer to Him by the example of your family. The Fruit of the Spirit is so evident in all you do. In your current weakness you are showing us all how to be strong. God has many plans for you and your work in His ministry.We are very excited about your progress. Keep showing the doctors and nurses what God can do. I pray for you and your family as often as I think about you all. We are spreading the word of God and the peace that comes from His salvation to everyone we can by telling your story. Your Dad is such a witness in his updates on your situation. Never do we read anything that is not encouraging, because he and your family lean on God for everything.I am thankful to God that you are making eye contact with your parents and family. We can convey so much in our eyes. You are a sweet girl and I can not wait to hug you when you are well again. I have my little black lab that you gave me in my room and smile because you were so thoughtful and caring to give it to me. My hair has come back and is soooo curly. I will never have a bad hair day again, once you lose your hair and God gives it back you are so greatful for it. We love you all, In Christ, Karen Todd

We will still be on target I think to have it in March so hurry up and get better so you can come. I also have been making bracelets like crazy, they are like the one I gave your mom for you. I sold 9 of them yesterday and one the other day. I am so excited. We will be donating most of the money from each bracelet to Friends, with the remaining money being put back into making more. Can't wait to get your opinion.
Love you sweet girl,

I miss you so very much and I can't wait for you to wake up and I can see those beautiful sparkling eyes of yours. You are so very precious to all of us. I know the doctors and nurses will take good care of you at Cardinal Glennon until we can get you back to St. John's! I will see you very soon little sister - I love you!

Mom & Dad - thank you so much for letting me be there with you yesterday. You both are so very strong, and it is your strength and faith that get me through this. I love you both with all my heart.

Hi, Kailie!

I've been thinking about you. I think about you everyday. It's been a little over a week since I last visited you in the hospital and I really hope to come back again soon. Of course this time I really look forward to you being awake, and hopefully I get to see at least one small smile.

I want to share something with you that is a little strange. Tuesday night I had a dream that I was at the hospital to visit you. As I was walking down the hall people started telling me that you were awake. Then, I looked over and saw you with this huge smile. I then started to tear up because I was so happy to see you up and doing so well. The main reason I'm telling you about my dream is because after just reading your dad's last journal entry I just realized that they actually starting taking steps to wake you up the very next day. I just think that is an interesting coincidence. I just really look forward to the day that this becomes reality instead of a dream.

Well, I have to run, but I really hope you keep getting better and fighting this ugly fight. You and your family are always in my prayers. Take care!!

Hi Kailie! Camden and I were just looking at your page and we decided to leave you a message. I wanted to tell you that I hope your transfer and stay at cardinal glennon goes well. Camden wanted me to tell you, 'I miss you and I hope your cancer starts behaving'. (By his three year old logic, cancer is the bad guy and right now yours is being really bad by making you sick.) We all can't wait to see your sparkling smile and see that you are once again feeling better. That day will be here, the path might get rough at times, but that day will most certainly come. Wishing you and your family continued strength, know that we are all here to support you.

Hi Kailie, you are fighting the "good fight."
Remember what Paul wrote to the Philippians in Philippians4:13:
"I can do everything through HIM who gives me strength."

The Word says alot about strength:
It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. 2 Sam 22:33; Ps 18:32
You armed me with strength for battle; you made my adversaries bow at my feet. 2 Sam 22:33; Ps 18:39
Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. 1 Ch 16:11
The Lord is my strength and my shield: my heart trusts in Him. Ps 28:7
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Ps 46:1
But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thes 3:3
For this reason, I kneel before the Father, from whom His whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being. Eph 3: 14-16
I am praying for your healing and recovery.

DEAR PRECIOUS KALLIE & FAMILY,

PRAISE THE LORD !!!!!!!

Hello !! Our names are Linda and Jerry Smith from Millville, New Jersey. We have come across your website through a ministry named Hosea Harvest. When we read about you Kallie we became overwhelmed with it ! We both said, " Such a little precious girl, with such a big precious heart and soul." I can say that you have given me such tremendous inspiration in my life, as I am disabled and have experienced cancer myself 5 years ago. Now by the Grace and Mercies of God I am " cancer free " indeed! I believe that you shall be also soon!
We, both are praying for you without ceasing, Kallie ! Don't forget that neither. We both love you always,even though we don't know each other. We are also praying for your brothers and Mommy & Daddy too ! " PRAISE YOU JESUS FOR THIS SWEET PRECIOUS KALLIE !! "
Your scriptures that you love has brightened Jerry and my life !!! GOD BLESS LITTLE ONE !!

I found the following prayer today..

Dear Lord, bless those who work in the health sciences, focusing all their efforts on returning Kailie to health. Their job is never ending, often not properly rewarded or acknowledged. Give them strength and the wisdom they need to contine; reward them for their efforts with peace of mind in emotional times. Be their strength and comfort forever. Amen

I saw your Grandfather RJ at the grocery store today, and he filled me in on your health concerns. Just last Friday, I had seen the card your grandmother gave me with your information on it, and I felt the need to pray for you. I was lifting you in prayer, not even knowing of your recent setback. I just felt the need to pray for you! Isn't God amazing??! My husband and I own a vehicle body shop, and that is how we came to know your grandparents. It is such a blessing to us to know them. I will continue to lift you and your family in prayer. I know God is in control of your life and your healing, and I just ask Him to fill all of you with His peace and comfort and healing. May He bless and keep all of you in His care.
In Him,

I am so moved by your faith in our Great Physican Jesus Christ and touched by your family's story. My son Noah ( 4yrs. )is also awaiting his stem cell transplant. We were unable to locate a perfect donor but we are going to be using a good umblicial cord match. ( less chance of rejection since it is not a perfect match. ) We understand your fear and small joys through this crazy time. I am so glad God sent me to this site today. I will pray daily for your perfect match and the strength for your family during the process of waiting.

Hi Kiddo. You are on my mind, in my heart, and the focus of my prayers, 24/7. I'm praying that a 6/6/ donor is found soon & you can 'get this show on the road' so to speak. I had to laugh when your Dad said he was a 3/6 match, and so was your Mom. For many years, I would tease Andy that he was all Glenn's kid. When he'd do something goofy, I'd say to Gleen, "see, that's YOUR kid." After Glenn and I were tested, and we were both 3/6, Andy looked me square in the eye (with that twinkle in his own)and said "seeeeeeeee Mom, I am half yours too!" I hope today is a good day & I hope and pray that you know you are circled in love. God bless

Kailie, I have had quite a bit of sadness in my life lately.
However, it has made me realize just how much God loves me. He always balances everything with some precious kind of
joy. He will help you to recognize it.
He has made me strong enough to cope & tender enough to feel the caring out-pour of love from friends, relatives and even complete strangers! What a help this is!
I also know Jessica Johnson, who has overcome her own extreme health issues. She has been a shining example for us all, just like you have been! Keep it up, Girl! We will pray along with you! Your new friend, Cay Pilla

Hey there. Just wanting to let you know that I am indeed continually lifting you up in prayer. I know the Lord will provide whatever is best for Kailie. She's such a strong dedicated Christian. If you have to go the Cord route, PLEASE consult with Dr. K at Duke. I know I am biased :) But seeing as how she actually pioneered the process and has done more than anyone else in the world, it stands to reason that she might be the expert to tap for the best ideas on that one. In the meantime, I'm praying for the donor match that God has for her somewhere. Just like with Matthew Pearl, WE may not know where all of the answers are and how things will go from day to day, but something I like to tell myself when I'm going through a setback of some sort is "God is NOT sitting on His throne trembling and wondering what in the world to do next. He knows!" And, from your entries, I can tell you believe that too. So I will just keep praying for increased strength and faith for your entire family. PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me if there's anything else I can do besides pray. I am here for you and will gladly do all I can to help. I'll check in again tomorrow. Blessings and love in Christ. Oh, one more thing. I'm sure the doctors have probably thought of this, but just in case, I thought I'd ask. I have major platelet problems at times too, so when I have really bottomed out---meaning my platelets were continually dropping to zero, we did a few different things that helped tremendously. The first was that we tried HLA matched platelets. That sometimes worked to help keep them longer--much better than pooled donors and even better than single donors as well. Secondly, sometimes giving IVIG along with the platelets has helped me keep them much longer because it helps suppress the immune response that makes you destroy platelets so quickly. And finally, we sometimes had to just put me on a platelet drip to keep them high enough. This has basically been done when I HAVE to have surgery and that's the only way they could keep my platelets between 30K - 50K for the surgeon to operate. So anyways, I figured it couldn't hurt to mention it. Maybe they've considered all those and none of those options are good for Kailie's situation with needing blood products. But, maybe they haven't and one of them might work well for keeping the platelets longer. I know that more transfusions means more transplant complications because that's one of my main problems. I've had so many transfusions from different donors, it significantly increases my chances of SERIOUS GVH. So, we have to be very careful. I remember Diane (Pearl) mentioning this being a concern for Alex as she was preparing for transplant so she may have some further insight on what would help too. Anyways, I've rambled long enough. I am here and I am praying. You are loved.

I almost wanted to tap them on the shoulder and say "please give platelets." But they were deep in prayer, so I didn't disturb them. God, please answer our prayers for Kailie....

Father God, I pray that you would place your healing touch upon this very dear, little girl. Lord, I ask you to provide a miracle in the way of a match, or a complete divine healing. I pray that you would lighten the heavy load on the hearts of John, Johnelle, Ian and Jaren. I pray that you would supernaturally guide them through this difficult time. Lord, I pray that your perfect peace would rest upon this family as you work the situation to your glory. I ask that all who come into contact with this family who do not know you would walk away knowing you. Thank you Lord for being ever so faithful in times of trouble and giving us a resting place. Thank you for the faithfulness of the Rhine's family for proclaiming truth in the midst of this trial. Lord Jesus, please honor their plea for healing Kailie and remove this yoke from them. I ask this in your name. Amen

Kailie - Happy Independence Day!! I can't believe you're a teenager now! That makes quite a weekend for you. You keep fighting and we'll keep praying and together God will see us all through this latest hurdle. Thank Mom and Dad for putting specific prayer concerns on your page.
We love you, Kailie.

Hi Miss Kailie,
Just sitting here thinking about you and your wonderful mom and dad. We are praying for you to be healed, and we are praying for strength for your mom and dad. I know it is hard for them to not be able to talk with you right now. Soon though you will be laughing and talking together, ready to fight the next round. In the meantime we are lifting you in prayer. We love you all.
Love,
Lisa

Hi there kiddo! The cyclists are out in force today, here in Columbia...couldn't help but think of you when I saw them all!!! I was wondering if any of them were training for a Team In Training ride?!?!?! You probably don't know this, but you and I have birthdays together...you on the 1st, me on the 4th. I have a surprise for you... I got the most wonderful gift for OUR birthdays!!!! A baby boy, we've named Peter & a baby girl, we've named Gabrielle. They were both born in May; just like Andy! We're praying that we have them home by Christmas. Just in time for you to be recovered from transplant & be able to play with them! Won't that be fun?!?!?! Got you covered in prayer today... God bless!

When I watch the fireworks this weekend, I will be sending special prayers up to heaven. Each rocket sent up into the sky, will remind me of all our petitions sent up to heaven, and as they burst and shower down, I will think of God's love reaching down to all of us. In my heart, 15 minutes of fireworks will really be 15 minutes of silent prayer for Kailie.

Happy 13th Birthday Kaylie -- You don't know me but I came to your sight through Alexandria Haddock's site -- which she didn't know me either. But I became familiar with her site through a friend of her family. Anyway .... Although I don't know you I continue to pray for you and for all the other children who are suffering from that dreadful disease we call cancer. I too have a 13 year old child and I know how precious he is to me. I thank God he is healthy and I pray that you will become healed by God's loving power and live a long an happy life.

God Bless you Kaylie -- I will keep you in my prayers and look forward to hearing encouraging news about you!!

Hey, Kiddo,

What a special day this is, and what a special person you are. If you ever doubt your importance in this life, just reread all these special messages from your fans!

Sometimes, when we don't want to get out in the cold or rain to train for Team In Training, we think of you, and what you've been through. And we tell ourselves, "Kailie doesn't get to quit -- she doesn't get to say, 'I don't want to get chemo today' -- so you can't quit either. Now get out there!"

You and all the people who have to endure these awful diseases are true inspirations. We see how much life means to you and how hard you work at it, and it puts everything into perspective. And that's a great gift.

We wish you all the best, and all our love. Happy Birthday!

Dear Kailie and family,
It is July 1 and I understand that Kailie will turn 13 today. Ah! Mom and Dad a teenager!!! I so want to say Happy Birthday Kailie, but I know that this is not a happy day in 2004. This is not how you should be spending your 13th birthday. This just isn't fair. I can only imagine what a happy day it was on July 1st the year you were born. I have no doubt that your mom and dad felt so blessed on that day 13 years ago. I have no doubt that today they feel even more blessed because they have had you as their daughter for 13 years. Kailie, you are such a blessing to all that know you and even strangers like me, that are just getting to know you. I do not feel like a stranger, because I have followed you off and on for quite some time and I know a number of Dr. Bob and Dr. Rob's patients. I have always been touched and blessed when I visit your site. Kailie, I am sorry that I am having a hard time saying Happy Birthday to you today, but I can tell you that you are in my thoughts often and my prayers daily. I know that you and your family believe that God is in control, and even though life is not fair, and we cannot understand all that happens, people like you and your family put their complete trust in God. I am so glad and thankful that you have a relationship with Jesus. It is a relationship like no other....isn't it? His name is wonderful, His name is beautiful, His name is forever. There is power in the name of Jesus, and I ALWAYS pray for you in Jesus' name.

In His love,

Dear John,
Your last entry was so touching. I will be at St. John's Friday morning giving platelets for Kailie. Thank you so much for asking for prayers for Matthew Pearl. He really needs them. His results from his bone marrow aspiration on Monday are very discouraging. His Grandpa called me last night asking for as many prayers as possible. It does look as though Matthew is in bone marrow failure and will need a transplant soon. I am sure you know that he does not have a match. I am always praying for a hedge of protection around the Caringbridge children, but I am especially praying that prayer for Kailie and Mattew at this time.

In Him,

Debbie Nagy

You don't know me but we have something in common our lives have touched each others. I have a granddaughter that is in remission and has 413 days of treatment to go. Leah's Page I will add Kailie to our prayer list and want to pray now for her and your family.

Prayer for Kailie, Father God your are all powerful, all merciful and Kailie's healer. I curse the cancer in her body and speak life into every cell and not death for she shall surely live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. I take authority of satan (that tries to rob, destroy and to kill) and cancel his plans he has planned for Kailie. Jesus is her healer for by his stripes she is healed. In Jesus Name I pray. Send for your ministering angels and strenghten her mom and dad to walk this journey to healing with Kailie in Jesus Name. There is Power in Prayer.

I DID IT!I'm a platelet donor! It was SO EASY! Called yesterday morning and they squeezed me in that afternoon. They were 4 of us there, hooked up and having a great time! The nurses are SO NICE! They give you this warm comfy heating pad to sit on, in this neat recliner, give you movies to watch, and then they bring you FOOD! The best soft, warm, cookies I have EVER HAD! I drank my cranberry juice and read the newspaper and then they let you pick out GIFTS, and a free coupon to the lobby coffee bar! I can't wait to go back! I think I have to wait 2 weeks. EVERYONE.....DO THIS! Call right now..314-569-6328 Kailie needs those platelets!

Your attitude through this heartache and your faith in God is a real encouragement and blessing. I know God gives peace but there's still fear and I just cannot imagine how intense of an emotional roller coaster this is for your family. I will pray that they can find a match for Kailie and that it will be the answer to her cure. Keep trusting the Lord, He's the only thing we can count on in this life.

Hi Sweetie...You're still sleeping, but when you wake up you are going to have a whole lot of wonderful thoughts and prayers from all of the most wonderful people in the whole universe that are praying for you. It is comforting to know that you have all of this support and that GOD is going to fight this battle for us and all we have to do is trust HIM. I shared this with MOM & DAD and others: 2nd Chronicles 20:15&17....Thus saith the Lord unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed....for the battle is not yours, but the Lord's.......vs.17, set yourselves, stand ye still and see the salvation of the Lord...WOW!!!! Takes a load off, doesn't it!!!! If you were awake and read this, you would say AMEN...I already know that, Grandma!!! You're such a strong young lady now and almost 13...WOW, a teenager!! I love you heaps and loads and sooooooooooooooooomuch more. I pray night and day and you are on loads of prayer lists here in Branson. Sorry I had to come home, but as soon as I work a week, I plan to come back to help MOM & DAD at home....til later, Grams in Branson..

Hey there kiddo! I left you a double bag of platelets today; KNOW you will need them! There were several people on the donor board; with your name next to theirs! That should get you thru today. I'm telling everyone I know to make an apt. and go donate. I saw Dr. Rob in the hall on the 7th floor... I can't get used to his head being shaved! tee-hee I wish you knew how many people were out here praying for you...I'm sure you can feel all the prayers thou. God bless! with love

Kailie and family,
I am a co-worker of your friend Lisa Stivers and have been praying for your health and strength. I really enjoyed the photos on your website - what a beautiful young lady you are! You have such a light in your eyes. Continue to be strong and have faith. As a nurse, I have seen numerous patients bounce back from great challenges from what could only be described as a combination of sheer will and Divine intervention. God bless!

Kailie - I have never met you but feel I know you. Your big sister Kelly and her wonderful mother, Joan talk about you all the time. Just hearing all the wonderful stories about you and your vibrant personality inspired me and I went to the bone marrow drive on Saturday and registered on the national registry.
Mike and I are going tonight to St Johns to donate platelets for you. You're in our thoughts and prayers and I can't wait to meet you. Get well soon. Love Mike and Vanessa

I saw your message for bone marrow donors and I went. I have been wanting to register for a long time and didn't know where to go. Thank you for the message. My 18 year old son also went with me to become a donor. I only hope we can help Kailie or someone else fight this horrible disease.

St. Louis, - Monday, June 28, 2004 8:19 AM CDT
You don't know me, but from the first day I received the message about you I have kept you in my prayers. I know my God is an awesome God and I know He hears and answers prayers. I have seen people raised from the dead through prayer, I have seen people pulled from the pits of Hell through prayer. As I have witnessed these things through the grace of God, I stand firm in Faith that God is once more going to hear and answer my prayers that He maybe glorified from it. Father God I stand now declaring Satan a thief and a liar, a murder and all things that goes against You and I refuse to allow him to have anything to do with this little girl, I am claiming Victory in Jesus for her life and am now at this point in time claiming it for the glory of God and of being done at this very moment. Father I am now giving you thanks for what you have already done. In Jesus sweet name I pray and for your glory Amen

Kailie,
We heard your Dad say in church the other day "God is good all the time, and all the time God is good!!" and we couldn't agree more. You and your family have been a true blessing to our family. God has used you and your family to minister to so many people. We love you for your faithfulness to God. We love you for your proclaiming Jesus. We love you for your friendship. We are praying continuously for God's healing for you. Continue to be strong in the Lord, for He is faithful.

1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Psalms 18:1-2

Dear Kailie-
How wonderful it was to spend time with you a few days ago. Even though you could not speak, or squeeze my hand, I knew you were there. I knew you could hear me, although due to Versed, you won't remember it. I know this is a difficult time, but the only thing I can imagine is that God knows the pain you would be in from the chemo and all that you are going through, and He is sparing you that pain. It is hard to see you unable to respond, unable to be the vibrant young lady that you are, but I know you are saving up all your energy and resting so you can get better. To watch you, yes, does break my heart, yet it once again, puts every single aspect of my life in perspective. We just do not realize how much we have if we have our health. We have been praying non-stop over here, and WE WILL NOT STOP until you are healed completely. You amaze me. Your mom and dad amaze me. They must have passed on their relentless faith to you. I am so thankful that God has blessed my life by knowing you all. We love you guys, and as always, please know you can call us anytime day or night.

Hugs -
alison

I want to let you know that as a cancer survivor I really
understand what Kailie is going through, though I didn't
have to have all the treatment she is going through. I
can only imagine what you, her parents, are going through.

I am from Louisiana and as a cancer patient can't donate
blood or marrow BUT I am praying for her, and also you,
her parents. That my friends as I am sure you know is
the best weapon of all......I pray that the Lord will
allow Kailie to be a walking talking praising God miracle
and that her testimony will reach around the world. Amen
in the name of Jesus Christ!

Please find comfort in knowing that YOU ARE LOVED! I will be watching the fireworks in Washington DC on your birthday and will light a sparkler and say a prayer for you. I pray you will be held in God's Love throughout your struggle and he will grant you a speedy recovery. I hope you already feel the Holy Spirit's love within you and that you keep on fighting to survive this nasty bug that has its hold on you. Peace be with you.

Kailie, we have never met you or your family, but received an email asking us to keep you in our prayers. We pray for you everyday, sometimes several times a day. My son, who is 7 years old, has really been prompted by the Holy Spirit to lift you up in prayer! It is such a blessing to see God use such a young child to pray for someone he doesn't even know. Kailie, our prayers for you are thanking the Great Physician that you are healed by His stripes, and that your healing took place over 2000 years ago! We are thanking God that no weapon formed against you will prevail or prosper, and that He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. We are also thanking God for the angels He has sent to minister peace and comfort to you and your family. May God continue to bless you with strength and faith. You are an inspiration to many, Kailie! We will continue to keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers!

Kailie,
We love you very much and are praying for you constantly. Nick and Ryan can't wait for you to get better because they miss seeing your smiling face at church and when you hang out together. I have an empty spot on my desk for the next picture you make for me. Karen could sure use your help keeping the boys in line. Charlotte misses your belly rubs (you know how needy she is!!).
God is watching over you, I know because I asked him to.
Praying continuously,

Paul, Karen, Nick, and Ryan (oh yeah, Charlotte too!) <pkempland@sbcglobal.net>

I'm stopping by to see how Kailie is doing, and to spend some time praying for your family. I know this is not the mission field you would have chosen, but I know the Lord is using all of you for His glory. Kailie's confidence in Christ shines right off the pages of her journal. I don't know too many young ladies with that kind of testimony.
I will be praying for all of you, knowing that the Lord of all glory has you in the palm of His hand.

Hi Kailie. I am praying for you and thinking of you every day. All my friends and family are praying for you too and many are donating blood and platelets and going to the bone marrow drive on Saturday. I have been so amazed at the responses i've received from so many people. You have made such an impression on so many of our lives and I'm so grateful for that gift. The faith and love that you and your family have displayed has been such an incredible example.
I know that God will take you up on his lap and put his arms around you and hold you there until you are well. Hang in there sweetie.

I am so astounded and appreciative at your show of faith at this time - you ARE truly spreading God's grace - thank you for being such wonderful examples. I will continue to pray that Kailie will make a full recovery and be riding with us all at Lake Tahoe some year! Please tell her of my prayers and I hope to see her smiling face again soon. Most of all, please tell her I pray that she continues to be so faithful and in peace knowing that God is holding her in his hands. Love, Anne Blanke

I just tucked Angel and Jordan into bed and heard their goodnight prayers. You were in their prayers as you are in mine every day. I know that you are a tough kid and I am praying that the Lord will continue to give you the strength to keep fighting until you can get the transplant. You have definitely made a difference in my life and caused me to learn about new things. I will be at the America Center on Saturday. See you soon. Jim, Angel, Jordan, amd Melanie

I want you to know that I am praying as unceasingly as possible for you right now.

We will be fighting along side you in prayer. We love you! We will continue to check on you and do what ever we can for you.
Love,
Paul and Lisa
If anyone else reads my reply you need to know that it is hard for John and Johnelle to tell you what they need right now, I know because we have been there. Their focus is on Kailie and they are sleep deprived. So don't wait for them to ask, send meals, gift certificates, think of the things you normally do every day and imagine if you just didn't have the time to do them and then go do them for the Rhines. Pray for them constantly, send cards and call them and let them know your praying. Don't forget the boys either, it is so hard on the siblings. God will bless you for this.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through yet another battle. We know what a fighter Kailie is.

May God continue to wrap you in His loving arms and give you comfort and peace.

Hello,
It has been a while since I have posted, but you have been on my mind alot. When I heard the news I was in such shock, and when I came to visit your site I see such faith and determination. You have such a strong little girl who is never going to give up. You have such an awesome support group with so many friends and families, and even strangers praying for you. Most important, as you said you have God, and with HIM all things are possible. I will pray for a match and a full quick recovery. Let me know if I can be of any help with any questions you may have.

Hello Ms. Kailie!
I am a friend of one of your friends, Loren Culp. He has told me about you for years as he prepares for the bicycle rides. What a blessing you have for friends like him, your family, and your faith in the Lord. While I am not a doctor, the one thing that I can do for you is pray. You are an amazing girl and I pray that the Lord will hold you in the palm of His hand. Ya know...Britney Spears blew out her knee getting ready for her tour...do you think you could fill in for her?

Kailie - Our baby is due on July 5th, and I plan to donate my cord blood to the Cardinal Glennon bank in hopes that it will help. They told me I can't do a targeted donation, but it will go to the bank for someone in the registry to match. I hope you are in much better shape by then, but if not, I hope the blood goes to you!

Love, Mary and Scott, Tahoe '03

Kailie- My mother forwarded me an e-mail asking for prayer for you- this led me to your site! I want you to know God is always, always with you, holding you close. I read your last entry and I can sympathize with your feelings toward the hospital. My 13 month old son, Daniel, has Neuroblastoma (cancer)and we go every week to the hospital for labs, scans, or chemo. I know things are rough for you right now but do not give up! God has a perfect plan! You are special girl and I thank you for sharing your story, you have no idea how many people your bright smiling face and positive words have witnessed to via the internet! I will pray for strength and healing for you and also for your family and loved ones-

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Romans 8:18 (NKJV)

If I wasn't we would have never met and I can't imagine life without you in it. Give me a call when you get a chance we have some scrapbook stuff to get organized!!!! Love you.

Kailie, boy, I'm really sorry to hear about your arm. I think you might be going to the same doctor that my daughter saw for her broken wrist. Take care, and DON'T BREAK ANY MORE BONES!
Carl

Aye yie yie! What are we going to do with you?????? I'm afraid that I have to agree with Dawn - if you truly want to be spending more time at the hospital again, why don't you sign up to volunteer or something?!?!? LOL No need to go breaking all your bones just to spend time at St. John's again. I think I'll have to talk to your mom and dad about padding the walls in your room! That way if you fall again, you'll have a "cushy" landing! Well, my little doodlebug, I guess I'll have to sign all my emails now with "Be Careful"! I love you!

Hi there Kailie,
I am just checking all the websites. Abbey keeps asking when she get's her cast off, every day she ask's. It isn't a real cast, it is a splint with a wrapping around her hand, but she thinks it is a cast. She is so funny. Hey when are you going to change your home page photo, I want to see more pretty pictures of you. I planted some flowers in Jacob's garden, I hope I don't kill them. I don't have the greenest thumb in the world. Well I will hopefully talk to you soon.
Love,
Lisa aka Mrs. Mosley

Thank you! I hope you made it safely out-of-town. I'll pray for a safe return. Take care and God Bless! <'))><

You are such an awesome piano player!!!!! We were so impressed. We look forward to being able to hear you play again! Alot of the songs you know are my favorites!!

Thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures. We look back at those thinking how could we have known what was instore for us in the coming years, but somehow we get through; with the grace of God of course. I am sooooooo completely thrilled for no more chemo and for eating any food and ESPECIALLY for being cancer-free! Normal life here you come! I am sure you can not believe it yourself! Keep the faith strong and always stay as close to God as you are now. You are a terrific family!

Kelly <kelly@friendsofkids.com>
St. Lous, - Monday, January 26, 2004 8:11 AM CST
Yeah! No more TPN! That's great! I am a bit curious how the pizza thing went thou... Andy used to do that too! He'd load up on Zantac, knowing that pizza, chili, or nachos were going to tear him up...but he did it anyway! He used to say that it was worth it to 'live a little'. :) Thanks to your folks for the kind words and the many requests for prayer; no, this never gets any easier. The only thing that keeps us going is knowing that we'll be reunited again one day. (soon I hope) I am very thankful for the nearly 13 years we had with our special little boy. God bless you all. Hope to see you soon love to all

I just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed chatting with you at the TNT kickoff on Friday night and I thought you telling your story was amazingly brave and you are a natural born speaker! I am also glad to hear how well you are doing AND that we both have a pair of really cool pink and gray Nike Shox.... we will have to both wear them at the same time to another TNT event! Everyone will be so envious! Take care and I look forward to seeing you again real soon!

Kailie,
I am glad your feeling better and enjoying the silly string, but you are not supose to tell who gave it to you. Shhhhhhhh, don't want to get into trouble, but if you run out call me, I will send more. We got through a lot of hard times and good times with Silly String. Kelley if you read this, I think there should be a stock of it at the friends office, for the kids in the hospital. Just a suggestion.
Love,
Lisa

Hi Kailie,
I'm Gloria, a quilting angel from Smile Quilts. I got to your website via Alison's webpage. I hope that your counts are still improving and that soon you'll be out of ICU with a path headed to your loving home.
In the meantime, we would love to make you a virtual online quilt. One that reflects your personality. If Mom could click on the above graphic and fill out the short application we would get started on it as soon as possible.

It has been a while since I last left a message, but I still check in on you even though it has been a while this time; (due to computer problems). I am so excited for you that you are off that aweful chemo; it's awful in one way but good stuff that helped in curing you(of course with God's guidence and His hand), if you look at it that way. I hope you get to feel better soon so you can celebrate this awesome milestone you have reached!

I went back and read past entries I had missed and you are such an inspiring young lady, your whole family is just wonderful. I got to know Alison through sharing a bmt unit, and I know they are such special people and I know they think so highly of you; this only confirms how terrific you all are and how wonderful it is to have such great friends at times like this.

Have a terrific, healthy New Year! God bless!

YAHOO! I'm so glad you finally let your Caringbridge Family know the good news. It's very hard to keep a secret like that! :-) But, now, we can shout it from the rooftops! (Okay, mabye not rooftops, since I'm a little afraid of heights...) LOL Hope you are starting to feel better my little one. It was good to talk to you yesterday. I hope you got some rest last night - I sure didn't. Sasha was up all night, barking and growling, at who knows what?! And, of course, she is now curled up at home, snoozing away....lucky dog. :-) Love you doodlebug - I'll talk to you later!

Sorry to hear you're in the hospital. Yuk. We live fairly close to the hospital, so if you need anything, don't hesitate to call. I can be there in about 20 minutes. Let me know when you're up to seeing visitors. I know sometimes when I'm not feeling well, I just want to be left alone. But when you feel up to it let me know or let Dorothy know at Dr. Bob's office. I can get an update on visitor status from her. Our prayers are always with you.

I hope I am not overstepping my boundaries here.....I beg for forgiveness if I am. I just wanted people to know that Kailie was in the hospital with tummy pain so they could pray for her. I do not know how the CT scan went after I left the hospital today. I am praying that everything went okay. I do not blame you Kailie one little bit for not wanting to drink that yucky tasting stuff before the test. I felt so bad for you. I am hoping and praying that you are feeling much better really soon.
Hugs to You Sweetie-

Hey you,
I guess I was not specific enough, not only do I order you to stay out of the hospital, I order you to feel better. I know it is hard to want to eat and not be able to. I will pray for you. I think Jacob would recomend cheese curds from Culvers when your tummy is feeling better. So I am your girl if you need a emergency Cheese curd run.
Love ya,

Kaile,
You don't know me but we are old neighbors of the Haddock Family in Ellisville. A very strange and wonderful thing happened today. I always check Alexandria's website and keep them in my prayers, they are such a wonderful family and we miss them living in our area so much. I have seen your name on their website and have always prayed for you and your family too. Anyhow, my neice Ann who was my flower girl in my wedding and has always been very special to me has been talking about doing a half marathon and in her Christmas card sent a letter saying that she was signed up to do one for the Team in Training Organization.The child she was sponsering was a 12 year old girl named Kailie. I had just left a note on Alexandria's site before I read her letter. I had to call Ann to set up an appointment for my son to get his hair cut,(she is a great hairdresser if anyone needs a new one!) and I asked her if by any chance the little girl she was sponsering had the last name Rhines. It was and as I sit here in awe of how God works in our lives I just had to let you know that I will be writing a check to her in your name and it just warms my heart knowing what a precious child you are and praying that my money can help you in some way. I hope you feel better real soon! You keep fighting and I'll keep praying.
Have a wonderful Christmas!

Kailie, thank you for your beautiful testimony, shared by
your grandfather Rhines. I am making copies to share with
my family. What a ministry the Lord has given you, and the
grace to use it for HIS GLORY. We pray for you at our Bible
Study. Just a note so you can put a label on me. My husband was Wayne Jones. We were at the wedding of your
mother and Dad. We visited at your home in De Soto. Kansas
just after your parents moved there. I think you were a
baby then, but moved away, and we did not see you after
that. My husband was Grandma Fritz brother, Grandma Ferril's Uncle, your mother's great uncle, and your great-
great uncle. Now, how was that explanation? Your uncle
Wayne would have been touched with your testimony. I have
known your father since birth, and he is so lucky to have
you for a daughter. How could you be anything but wonder-
ful with all the loving people in your background? And-
especially with Jesus in your life. God is so good!!!!
Give my love to your mother and father.

Dear Sweet Kailie, Just wanted to say hi and to let you know we are praying for you. I also want to tell you how your prayer at Thanksgiving blessed the sox off of me. I sure hope that one day you will get to come see your Grandma and Grandpa here in KC and that I can meet you. I will give a copy of your prayer to Myrna. She is praying for you, too. Your extra "grandma" in Christ. A little boy in Tulsa used to call me "Grandma 2", so maybe that's a good name for me. Love you - Grandma 2

Hi Kailie girl! Wow, it has been way to long since I have dropped in to drop you a note. We recently moved into our new house and I was out of a phone line for almost a full month. That is a very long time for me. No phone, no internet! UGH!!! I am glad to be back though. Especially so I can say hi to you once in a while. Sounds like you are very busy. I am glad to hear you didn't break your ankle. Sprangs can hurt pretty badly though. Keep that pressure off of it and get better soon. Thinking of you always, Kris Evans

Hi LW! GREAT counts!!! And another link of chain gone! Grandpa and I saw a great movie last night and when it comes out in video you'll have to get it, "Luther." It's the story of Martin Luther who founded the Restoration Movement in the 1500's. It was wonderful and such an eye opener to see what he went through and suffered to bring the Gospel to man. LOVE YOU LW!

Hey sweetie!!

I just knew you would do it!!!! Way to go girlfriend. You are such an AWESOME inspiration to kiddos out there to fight as hard as you can for what you want and not sit back a feel sorry for yourself. I was EXCITED when I talked to Alison Haddock and found out that you are going to be at the golf tournament because SO AM I!!!! I am on the Alexandria's Angels Foundation and I am helping the day of the golf tournament. We will finally get to meet!!! I can't wait to be able to give you a big hug. You talk to your counts and keep them up til then. Talk to you really soon.

God Bless you,

Hey there kiddo! I'm afraid that by now, you're all 'dex'd' out and maybe not feeling so great?!?!?! I hope I'm very wrong! I've been busy digging thru JUNK in our basement, and getting ready for a garage sale. I can't believe how much stuff is collected (for what ever reason) over the years!!!! Our neighborhood is having another big garage sale in a couple of weeks, I hope to get rid of a lot of stuff!!! If not, the roofing guys will be here very soon, with a huge dumpster!!! :) I hope you have a good weekend. Hope to see you all very soon! Love ya

Kailie-

Hey kiddo!!! Keep it up with those counts girl!!! YEAHHHHHH! You are in the same grade as my son Josh. Kinda exciting yet scary starting middle school. I'm sure you can't wait to start. Especially ice skating!!! WOW Guess what I did on Sunday. Got to ride in the cockpit of a plane behind the controls. My girlfriend won a contest to skydive and I got to ride in the plane!!! I felt like I could reach out and touch all of our little friends in heaven. That is one of the best feeling soaring in the sky and looking down at the wonderful world our Lord has given us. The clouds were so fluffy looked like giant cotton balls. Are you ready I was 14,000 feet in the air with my window open taking pictures!!! AUGHHHHHHH! Get well and maybe we could get together and have lunch so you can see the pictures. (Either that or I could scan some to you) Ms. Alison, Alexandria's mom, and I were talking about you this past weekend at what a little cutie pootie you are. Hey maybe we could get her to come with us. Talk to you soon sweetie!

God Bless,

Are you eating all the salad you can? I Just had the Wendy's Southwest Chicken salad for lunch, it was good and I am full! My Favorite salad out is the house salad at Pasta House. I fill up on that and take my pasta home for lunch the next day.
Did your mom make the Cheese cake for your birthday? If she did can you ask her to send me the details on how she made it. Dana wants cheese cake for her birthday next year. I missed her birthday this year 'cause I was in the hospital. So next year I really gotta make up for it.
Tonight your Ian and my Dana will be coming home!!! I've kinda missed her, have you missed you big bro?
Well, as always, I gotta get back to work!
Lot's Of Love!

P.S. thank's for the thank's ;0)

I'm so excited for them to be raising money for the cause, and you are a great reminder of it. Hope you had a great holiday, take care!

PS, John/Johnelle, for those of us uneducated on what counts are good or bad, could you post normal counts in parentheses? Thanks!

Hi sweetheart. You don't know me but I have read about you through the Mosley's web page and saw you on the news the other night. You looked MARVELOUS!!! By the way, HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY! I emailed your Mom and before I could hear back from her I realized your page was listed on Jacob Mosley's page, so I decided to drop you a note. You are such a beautiful young lady and I see God sparkle in those eyes of yours. I pray you have wonderful healthy days ahead and I will be following your progress every day. God love you sweetie. Feel free to email me if you are ever looking for something to do. I will write as often as time allows. I have five boys ages 1, 2, 5, 7 and 9 so they keep me busy but I manage to get online from time to time. ;) By the way, my name is Kris.

Hi Kailie!
I saw a few of your Tahoe teammates yesterday at a bike ride (I rode with my girlfriends who were part of your 2002 St. Anthony's team). They said how great it was to have you in Tahoe cheering for them! Team in Training is so lucky to have you (and your family) involved as you are such a great honored teammate! I hope you are feeling better this week!
Love, Julie

It was sooooo great to see all FIVE of you get out of that car yesterday, at the picnic! I was thrilled that you were feeling better and able to come Kailie! It was a rather difficult day, but made easier by your presence. I know Andy would have been very proud of the picnic...and the fact that everyone had fun. Ian, Andy thought very highly of you and enjoyed your company. He was also very proud of the fact that you ALWAYS wanted him on your team, while playing 'brain games' at the doctors office. :) He thought it was kewl that you thought he was smart. Jaren, Andy admired your love of Legos too! John and Johnelle, it was such a blessing to have some strong Christian friends present during some of the most difficult times in my life. You both helped me keep the faith, and to keep my eyes upon Jesus...thank you. I love you all! God bless

It seems like it wasn't that long ago when we were talking about "only 72 more to go" - boy how times flies. :-) Sure hope you are feeling better than you were last week. I had to go to the doctor yesterday - got an icky sinus infection and an inner ear infection! (At least I know my dizziness has a reason now!) :-) I sure hope you had fun at the platelet dinner Friday night - email me and tell me all about it! I love you precious little girl! I'll talk to you soon!

I hope your family in KC are all alright and made it through the storms. Speaking of storms ya do know this is just another storm you are going through and on the other side there will be sun shine!! RIGHT;0)
Daniel was in the paride yesterday, in his uniform marchin' all cool like. Dana was going to be playing in the paride but they canceled because they didn't want to melt in the rain. Dana won a lot of Sponge Bob stuff at the carnival. I won an angel Tweety Bird and gave it to Dana. Daniel won some stuff too and gave it to Dana. You have to tell Dana not to be so selfish and share some! ;0)

Good morning cutie pa-tootie! What is going on with those counts? How can we go eat Caesar salad if they don't come up? Time to have one of your 'talks' with your body - remind it of who is the boss! :-)

I sure miss you sweetie. I have the picture of us from my last day at the Hospital in the frame you gave me sitting on my desk. I look at it often and smile. You are the best little sister God could have ever given me!

Can't wait to see you soon! I love you so very much!

Hi. My name is Jane Blanke, Anne Blanke is my sister. I got on this web page because Anne just sent a note to all her contributors for Kaille for the Leukemia ride. Know you are in my prayers as well as Jacob. Thank you for the messages of hope and love you have in your entry for today...I wonder if you know that your faith is ministering to others? God bless you and keep you peaceful.

Kailie-

I know it's been awhile since I signed your guestbook but I have been keeping up by your journal entry. I'm so sorry to hear about Jacob. I will link into his site and leave a note for them. Hey girl you need to get those numbers up if we are going to get together and scrapbook!! I'm looking forward to it. Drop me a line soon. Miss talking to you.

God Bless you,

Oh well, I'm glad you had a good time though - what a beautiful weekend we had!

Good morning little one. I'm so glad I got to see you Friday night - but, I sure hope you're feeling better now. I didn't stay too much longer after you left - I looked through Jess's scrapbook and then headed home. It was WAY past my bedtime! :-)

It is such a dreary day outside - what happened to the sunshine and 80 degrees? It can come back any time now, don't you think?

Well, sure hope you are feeling much much better today! Good luck at Dr. Bob and Rob's! (I think you were going today?) I love you!

Is your fever staying down? I sure hope so, but I'm sorry to see that you didn't make it to the game last night. You keep drinking a lot of stuff, we really don't want to hear about you having to have "the backpack." It looks like it's going to be a wet spring day. A good day to curl up with a good book.

I love this weather! My daffodils are blooming and the tulips are up! Happy happy spring!

I'm glad to hear your counts are behaving themselves. Keep it up and we'll go to the Botanical Garden very soon! (I think it's supposed to be chilly this weekend, but maybe the next.)

Hope you had fun at TH today - tell Champ hello for me! I'll talk to you soon!

I am so glad you were able to get out and enjoy beautiful weather and in just enough time today is suppose to be nasty!! Your closeness with your brother is such a wonderful example for so many siblings. I am very close to my sister, but when we were your age unfortunatly we wasted alot of years arguing and fighting. When it comes to needing support, no matter what, your family is always going to be the one there for you. Drop me a line when you get a chance.

God bless you,

Good morning sunshine! :-) Just wanted to check in to see how you were doing - glad to see that you're counts are holding their own! Way to go! The pictures you're mom and dad posted on the website are great. I especially like the one of Ian's car - definitely a great convertible! Sure hope you got to get out and enjoy some of this great weather over the weekend - Spring is good for the soul, don't you think?

Well, I must get some work done! Lots of hugs and kisses to you! Tell the family hi for me!

Hello Kailie and family. I am sorry that you aren't feeling very good...and that your mom isn't well either. Hope you are both feeling better very soon. These past few rainy days are good for staying in bed...and just listening to the pitter patter on the roof sometimes helps me relax. The signs of spring are really starting to surface..I cannot wait!! Luke (4yrs) and Grace (2yrs) are really looking forward to it as well (they are my two kiddos). Take care of yourself and hope you're back into the swing of things real soon. God bless.

Dear Rhines Family,
I was checking in to see how Kailie was doing. Hopefully, you'll be feeling better soon!!
I read what you had written about my Angel on March 8 (or was it 9?) and it was like I just got a nice, long, warm hug. It's just what I needed. Thank you and much love,

Hi,

I attend church with Allison and Grant Haddock and got to your website through Alexandria's. Kailie, please know you and your family are added to my daily thoughts and prayers. Another family to add to our prayers is Anna Rebecca VanSickle's. Anna on March 4 was called to be with our heavenly father. She had a rare life-threatening immmunodeficiency disease called Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis. She was only 6 1/2 months old and was battling since being dx at 1 1/2 months. Please pray that the Lord be with them more than ever during this extremely difficult time. Thanks to the Lord above and the Haddock family, my eyes have been opened to all the children out there that suffer daily. We have 3 children ages 11, 7, and 4 and have been blessed with good health. Your journal entries and faith are amazing!!!!! Thank you for allowing us, through your entries, to learn about this beast known as cancer. I will continue to check on Kailie's progress via website and PLEASE keep up your AWESOME STRENGTH and FAITH!!!!

God Bless you

I am a mother of an angel...My three and a half year old baby girl now resides in Heaven with many other angels...Sara was diagnoised with Hepatoblastoma, which is a rare liver cancer, when she was 18 months old. She endured many surgeries and chemo treatments. She also endured a living related liver transplant, which I was fortunate to be the donor. She lived for eight really good months after transplant. She got to have her Make-A-Wish trip to Disney just as she asked for. We got to take her to the beach twice over the summer and spent many good quality days at home with family and friends. I have so many precious memories of my baby girl. I will always be greatful to God for her beautiful life, for allowing me to hold her right after her first breath and when she took her last....what a beautiful gift. I pray for your baby girl and your family. May God continue to give you strength to endure what is ahead. Don't be affraid to lean on family, friends, and our Father in Heaven....

Hey Kailie! Hope you are feeling better today. So glad your counts were up, Praise God!! Hope they stay that way and continue to climb.
Let me tell ya, my dog, Kira is VERY jealous of Liza..Kira doesn't get to sleep in our beds!! She is an outside dog..by her choice! When we try to bring her in on even the coldest of nights, she stands at the door and whines to go back outside..she likes to run around in the back yard and keep watch over us. (and she loves to run the fenceline with the neighbor dogs) She has her little dog door into the garage (which is fairly warm) and she has her little bed in there. Since she is outside most of the time..she is kinda smelly and muddy! So, we are anxiously awaiting the warmer weather so she can get a bath! Liza sounds like a very lucky, happy dog.
Take care and feel better! ;-)
P.S. Thank your mom and dad for me for the great journal entries..your family is such an inspiration for me.

Dear Kailie,

Thank your daddy for the update. I'm glad to hear that your counts were up and that you were able to get your chemo, Friday. I'll be praying that your fever is down and the cough is gone--hopefully even by the time you get this message. :-)

I read your daddy's message to you and I just have to tell you--there's nothing like a daddy/daughter love. Your daddy's to "infinity - there and back again" reminds me of how MY daddy and I used to tell each other how much--"to the end of the numbers." Aren't Daddies just the greatest?! Of course Mommies are just super, too, aren't they?! :-)

God bless you and your family, too. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I'll be hoping to hear more good updates on your counts, etc. Stay strong, sweetie.

Together in Christ (and prayer)--
Kristan's Aunt,

Tell your Dad thanks for the update. I am glad to hear your counts are up but sad that you have a fever and a cough. I will pray that both are temporary and that you will be feeling better soon.

Hi Kailie! We didn't even know you had a Website. Cool. Hope you're feeling well today. We missed seeing you Sunday-and Jaren too. This Wednesday the teachers will decide when to get together and visit our homebound members. Hopefully you and Jaren will get to join us. I think they will be glad we thought about them and came to see them. We'll let you know. Rick, Stephanie and Lindsay say hi. It's good to hear that Liza hogs the bed because Gus does too! And I don't mind one bit! Hope to see you soon. Patrice

Hi sweetheart!

Are you having a good day? I sure hope so. I can't wait until I come home so I can give you big hugs and kisses. I really liked sitting next to you at church last night. You are so precious and I love you with all of my heart - infinity and to the beginning and back again. I'm proud to have you as my little girl. You are such a strong little girl and I am so thankful that I was chosen to be your daddy!

I love you pumpkin,
Daddy

Hi Kailie - It was fun to see you and your family at the pizza party on Saturday. I didn't realize your brother was training with us for the bike ride - that's so great! I have three brothers and I don't know what I would do without them. I know sometimes brothers are a big pain, but believe me, you will really be grateful for them when you grow up! You are already so grown up, you probably already know that!

Good morning pumpkin! Now, what happened between when I saw you on Friday and Satuday? You're not supposed to be running a fever or having a cough! :-) It was very good to see you on Friday - and thank you very much for lunch. I was so stuffed I didn't even eat dinner!

I sure hope you are feeling better! I'll be sending lots of hugs and kisses your way!

P.S. - Sasha says she can't wait to see you again! :-)

Hi Kailie and family. Hope you all had a nice weekend. You were on my mind so I thought I'd say hello and I hope all is well. Thank you for the wonderful update in the journal..glad your counts are better. The whole message was awesome and so true. It was something I needed to hear as well. God is so good and sometimes it is hard to understand how or why, but that we know it is all a part of His plan is somehow easier to help us cope. God bless!

Hi!
You don't know me but I've been blessed to find Jacob's mom via Internet and she's helped me through some of my toughtest times. I lost my son at the age of 4 almost three years ago (next week, in fact) after a long battle with neuroblastoma (bone marrow transplant and all).

I was reading, with interest, your latest post regarding families needing more support after the loss of a child and you are 100% correct. There is a great group called "Peace by Piece" that is a grief support group organized primarily for children (there's an adult group also but the intent is for children). Our family wouldn't be where we are today without both this group and our friends. Sadly, due to conflicts of our older two boys, we had to stop our support group - we felt it was important for them to be with their friends and play sports.

Just thought I'd pass the info on. There may be one in the area of some parents that you know!

My prayers are with you in your battle!

Hoping that your Friday went well and thanks for letting us be part of your extended family. It's inspiring to know where you draw your strength, don't ever stop giving praise where it's due. We thought we walked closely to GOD until Matthew got sick and then marveled at how we were comforted when we turned it all over to him. As we draw near so does he. There is so much comfort for us just knowing how dearly all of you love and trust in JESUS. We truly are one big family and continue to pray for all of you daily. Love, Jim and Sue.

Dear Rhines Family,

Well, it seems that my sister-in-law beat me to saying it :-) but, I think she's are absolutely right! I, too, believe you've heard (and are answering) God's calling. I've only recently been "introduced" to your site and am already very impressed and encouraged by your beautifully-written journal entries.

As for getting tired of your "Jesus" talk--NO WAY, NOT ME!! I say, keep up the good work--shout it from the rooftops--the Lord is well pleased! :-) If you only make ONE person look to the Lord, you have done a fine job, in my opinion!

I am here to tell you that I (personally) know that through our family's (including our extended families) trials and tribulations of, especially, the past year--we have all (I hope) grown stronger in our walk with Him. I know I have! And each day when I go through my (what has now become a routine) of checking various children's/parents' websites, my own faith is (each time) renewed.

For years now--since I've come to know Him--I've thanked God everyday for SO much in my life. Now, I'm proud to say, that I have even more to be thankful for. I feel like I've made new "friends" in Christ. While I have never (and may not ever) get the pleasure of meeting you all here on Earth, I can not even begin to tell you how much my life has been (positively!) effected.

You all think you do these websites for your support and encouragement, but you are the real heroes. Do you even realize just how important the display of your magnificent strength, courage and faith truly is?! Thank you SO much for all that you share--what you realize and also what you don't! :-)

May God's blessings continue for you all. :-) Know that you remain in my thoughts and prayers often throughout each day!

Forever touched (and grateful for it)--
Kristan's Aunt,

Good luck at Dr. Bob's tomorrow - and hopefully I'll see you for lunch! I love you bunches!

Guess what?!!! Your Dad was able to order us a new computer and now we can talk to you on your web site! Our old computer would always kick us off when we would try and veiw your site. We are so thankful that the Lord supplied us with a way to communicate with you quicker! Georgia says she will write to you personally. She already has one letter finished from Minnesota. I had a very peaceful birthday snow skiing and enjoying all of God's beautiful creation around me. As I was riding the ski lift up the hill on Sunday and thanked God over and over for His goodness in our lives. I love you sweetheart and would love to hear from you. Take Care.

Dear Kailie and Family,

I thought I'd introduce myself as I'm new to your site. My sister-in-law, Lee Ann, told me I should read your account of Alexandria's celebration service. Since Kristan and Alexandria were in the BMT unit together, I've (through Lee Ann) followed her and recently linked to her site. Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting the Haddock family, I feel like I have come to know them through their website and journal updates. Now that I have been "introduced" to you all, I would like to get to know Kailie and your family as well.

I am the proud mother of three beautiful children--two daughters and one son--Taylor (4), Baylee (2) and Braxton (almost 5 months). As I write this, I am being called to fix a (gourmet--HA HA) breakfast of cold cereal. Baylee wants some "ice-cream peas" (usually called Rice Krispies). Mommy duty calls, so I'd better go for now. :-)

I'll check in on you often and will be praying that your counts improve today. It was nice to meet you. :-)

God's blessing to you,
Kristan's Aunt--

Jacob is getting tired of being in the house, we all are, but mostly him. I know you understand how he feels. When everyone is feeling better and Jacob is out of isolation then maybe we can get together. We miss you guy's.

Hello to all!! My name is Nancy Cole, I'm the friend of the Haddock Family that met you today, and made the "take home lunch"! I hope you and your family enjoyed every bite! Did I pack enough cookies and brownies? Those are my favorite! Did you try the yummy brownies with the chocolate icing?
I have to tell you that it was a real honor to meet you and your family today! You are such a pretty girl with an amazing smile!!!!
I remember Alexandria and her mommy telling me about you! I do believe that Alexandria really treasured your friendship via e-mail!!
I will pray really hard for you and hope your counts get better!
I made a promise to you that I would make a fast food run for you, and I will! I'll ask Mrs. Haddock how to get ahold of you very soon and we'll set something up!
My thoughts and prayers will be with you,
God Bless,

Hello, that was such a beautiful entry you made today, we too, even though we were unable to attend, have been thinking about the Haddock's all day. I can not seem to get them off my mind, this is probably God's way to tell me to pray for them each time they fill my mind. Thank you for letting us know some about today and how it went even though I would not want to imagine, and it is so good that you were able to attend, you and your family. Your entry in my guestbook also was so moving, sometimes we have to be reminded of all these things. You are a very faithful person, and I'm glad I found your site!

Hi girlie! I see your Uncle Craig has beat me at writing you -- good for him! It's a cloudy day here in KC, but looking all around you can see God's hand in everything. Even the snow we are expected to get tonight and tomorrow. Yeah! The boys have left to go skateboarding and I've been left behind to man the house, well, and Nicksters too! I think there is a nap in store for the both of us. I talked to Grandma today and she said they are suppose to get about 8 inches of snow tonight and it's already started. Well, I had better get some work done around here. I hope you are having a great day. Give everyone a hug for me. Love you loads, Aunt Lorie

This is my first time signing your book, I have checked your site often and pray that you start feeling better. You have came such a long way, looking back at your past journals, and are such a strong little person. Keep making goals, keep your spirits high, and most important keep your faith. I know it is such a life learning experience for all involved. We too have been through some of it with our child, Kristan, and we went through the bmt unit with Alexandria, and were fortunate enough to get to know her family. We will keep you all in our prayers and we will keep checking back.

Dear Kailie,
I still haven't had time to read your site, but I am checking it daily. I am so sorry you are back in the hospital. Please don't tie the sheets together and escape, broken bones are no fun!!! I will be praying for you sweetie!!

Kailie,
Sorry to hear you're under the weather. I like the idea with the sheets, but make sure you figure out how many sheets you need before you start. I'd hate to hear about the young lady firefighters had to rescue as she dangled from sheets around the third floor of the hospital. Josh had an LP yesterday and is on Dex this week. So you know what kind of week we're having - hey, can I borrow some of those sheets. Hang in there (no pun intended)- I hope you're home really soon.

Hey kiddo, I'll grab some bed sheets, run up there and help 'spring' ya...ok?! I'd look pretty funny circling the hospital dragging my king size flannel sheets, while scanning the 7th floor windows looking for ya! Think Dr. Bob would bail me out after I get arrested? :) We're all praying really hard for those counts to go up, antibiotics to kick in and you to hurry home soon! I hope your Mom feels better soon too! Love to the whole family.

HELLO, KAILIE: You don't know me; I came across your website when I was sending a message to Alexandria's family. I am so very sorry to hear about your friend, Alexandria. We know you must feel so sad for her family. She put up such a courageous fight but for some reason, God, decided that she shouldn't have to fight any longer. She is now in His Hands and without pain any more. I send you my prayers and will continue to pray for you. Please let your parents know the tribute they wrote about Alexandria is beautiful and I know her family as well as anyone else who reads it, truly knows that the physical world has lost a ray of sunshine but who is lighting up Heaven as I write. With God's Blessings, I hope tomorrow is a good day for you!

Just thought I would remind you that you are a blessing to me. I thank God every day that he gave you to me and that he allowed me to be your mom! You are an awesome girl!

Love,

Kudos for your indorsement for Team in Training. The team that ran in the Disney Marathon raised $9 million. The team representing St. Louis raised $400,000. I figure that I'll never be a researcher or an oncologist that finds the final cure for ALL, but God gave me legs to run with, so I can help raise money for such a worthy cause. Kailie, I hope to see you out there on April 6. See you in Dr. Bob's office this week.

Hi Kailie....how is Liza? When I got home tonight our youngest son, Matthew, was here with a surprise....he just bought a puppy and named her "Eve". Eve is a little cocker spaniel, mostly black with a little brown mixed in. Matthew is our son who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's on graduation day but he is doing well. I have told him about you and asked that he add you and your family to his prayer list. You are in our thoughts and prayers! Love, Jim and Sue

I just wanted to let you know that I read your web site all the time and use it to up date the prayer sheet at work. Sorry Kailie about your arm, but if it keeps good timing maybe you can talk to Stephen about playing a tamborene (sp?) at Church.
Jaren shaired his feelings with us in Sunday school, he even cryed. I was able to comfort him and others opened up to him too. Thanks for allowing me to be a small part of your extended family.

I can honestly say that I have never ever met a family where the sense of love and faith is constantly present for all to see! You are such an inspiration to all who know you. I feel so very lucky and blessed to be a part of your 'extended' family. I love you all so very much!

Hello from Jim (the older one) and Sue Meppiel. We are so happy that you made the trip to Andy's celebration and even happier that GOD had you join us at our table! We only wish there had been more time just to talk and get to know each other. Know that all of you will be in our thoughts and prayers daily and that we are spreading the news of your needs. What a family you are and what a GOD we have! Giving thanks today for our new friends. Andy's mom said she would be watching for the good that would follow Andy going home and now we have a new friend named KAILIE!!!!!

I just wanted to say hi to all of you. You were at my church last night (Hope) for Andy's celebration. My name is Jimmie Meppiel (the younger one). You guys sat at our table for the dinner. I just couldn't wait to get home from church this morning to look at Kailie's page. I just wanted to let you all know that it was a pleasure to meet you. People always measure success by the size house we live in, or how much money we make, or what job status we have. They miss the big picture. Success is finding Jesus! I listened to you guys glorify God in everything you said last night. That is success! In the midst of everything in your lives, Jesus shines through! Pleasure to be able to call you brothers and sisters. I'll be checking in to Kailie's page all the time, and Kailie, with your permission, I'd like to be able to say that you are my friend! Is that OK?

Johnelle, I am glad to have the opportunity to visit Kailie's website. Many times I have thought of her and you and wondered how things were going. Now I can check it out myself. I hope Kailie is doing well, and I am so sorry for her friends. Yes, that is a lot of heartbreak for a little girl, but in the end will make her a stronger person, if it hasn't already. May God bless her with full healing in THIS life, but as you said, may God's will be done. Love you and will be praying for you guys!

Hi Kailie, It's your Aunt Stephanie. Breanna & Barrett loved the pictures you mailed them from our visit. Liza is so cute. We especially liked the picture of Liza licking Baby Barrett's face. You looked beautiful, as always, in the pictures. You are such a pretty girl! But most of all...you have a good heart! Keep the faith. We pray our Lord will bless you with good health.
P.S. We need your family to cheer on the Buccaneers in the NFL playoffs. Remember when we got together 3 years ago when the Bucs played the Rams in the NFC Championship? Well, again, we are one game away from the superbowl!

Hi Kailie! Happy New Year! Hope you had a nice Christmas! Sorry to hear about your wrist, I bet that is painful. At least it is not broken. What you said about God in your last entry is SO true. He is so very Awesome and He will see us through whatever comes our way. Your attitude is so wonderful and filled with God's love. When my children get older (right now they are 2 and 4) I hope they share the same enthusiasm as you do for our Lord.
I read how you went to see Alexandria and she had gone home. Isn't that just awesome!
You and your friends are in our continues prayers.

Hi Kailie! I wanted to let you know that I too will be praying for your counts. Also, I have a dog, named Kira who is jealous of your dog, she doesn't get to sleep in our bed...she has her own outside.(in the garage) She loves to be outside and even when we let her inside on the cold nights, she whines until we put her back out. She likes to patrol our yard and run the fence line with the neighbor dogs. I bet she would love to play with your Liza. Well, take care and know that many people have a big place in their heart for you! :-)

My name is Shari, and I am a friend and family member! My husband Brian is related to your grandpa RJ. RJ is Brian's mom's cousin. So, if you can follow all of that, this is how I know you! Your grandparents came to a Soltow/Rhines family reunion we had in August at our home. We really had a good time with them, they are wonderful people. You are blessed to have them, as they are just as blessed to have you. I have seen your website and I am highly impressed with your spirit. You have great faith in our Lord Jesus Christ and that is so heart-warming to see that through all of your trials you are faithful and love your Father in heaven very much. I am proud of you. I will keep checking on you, and I appreciate the updates. You are a precious girl, the Lord loves very much. Hang in there and keep your love and faith and trust in the Lord. We love you.

Hello Kailie,
I am Katy Davis' sister - she told me about your website. So anyway, it's 3:40 am and I just read about you and "Champ". It brought back wonderful memories for me as I used to volunteer at T.H. (Therapeutic Horsemanship). It used to be off Hwy 94 past Whitmoor - before Whitmoor was there. Oh, those brisk October days, the smell of the hay and the horses. Oh I bet you love going there. How long have you been riding? I read also that your brother rides too. How long has he been riding? How much do you two know about the horses? I mean when I was there, we use to "side walk" with the riders to make sure they don't fall off. The riders learned a few commands. It sounds like you are way beyond that point. What exactly do you get to do? One of my little boy's friends (Caroline) from preschool (they are in separate schools as kindergarteners now) goes to T.H. - she has Cerebral Palsy and the horse provides a wonderful form of exercise for her. Kailie, when you described how much fun you had with Champ it just brought wonderful feelings back of horses and autumn days at the stable. Thanks for that! I'm going to say a prayer for you and go back to bed with those happy memories... Have a great day!

Hello Miss Kailier Rhines!
I work with your Grandma Carla. She is just CRAZY about you! Months ago she gave me a card w/your name and info on it. I put it on the wall of my cubicle to help me remember how hard you are fighting to get well--and to pray for your return to good health. Although this illness is really the pits, you are a very lucky kid! (I'm sure it doesn't always feel that way though.) You have a family and church family that loves you & you live in the USA where there are great doctors to help God make you well. Well, I'd better get back to work, or I'll be someone that USED to work here. I just wanted you to know we're all happy about your recent test results & hope it's the beginning of many more!

Dear Kailie-
I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you and praying for you too. Thanks for asking everyone to pray for me. I know all the prayers are what got me through my bone marrow transplant and got me home so quickly. It is so great to be home with my two cats and my brothers and sister. I missed them when I was at the hospital. Love-Alexandria Haddock

You are all in my prayers and your testimony is a inspiration to us all in the comfort we receive though our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I pray that His presence will be felt by each of you at times when it is needed most.

Hello...
We are close friends of Carla and RJ. Richard and Carla graduated together from Beaumont High School. So the friendship for them goes back a long way. We have gone before Our Heavenly Father many times on behalf of Kailie and her family. There are two things which we see in your family which stands out to us...Faith and Faithfulness. It is one thing to have Faith in God. It is quite another to continue on in Faithfulness when things get tough.
It is obvious that your roots go deep. You are an encouragement to the family of God, expressing through your lives your trust in Our Heavenly Father who orders our footsteps....who takes us THROUGH the deep waters.

Kailie, your picture reminded us of our 8 years old Granddaughter Kate! You are a brave little soldier. I know that you have the prayers of a large host of God's people. We will continue to go to The Father in your behalf.

Blessings on Thee

Richard and Susan Hannemann
