Making an attempt to message Debbie Hargett Deas. Search lead me here. Just looking up some old friends and I smiled when I found your name. I stopped moving and settled at the beach. Haven't seen many old friends lately. Difficult to find my way around in Rock Hill now.

Hi Creighton,
It has been a while, but you have been in our thoughts and prayers almost every day. It was good to read your entry and learn that you are fighting your cancer so well - both mentally and physically.Keep it up!
Here in Sweden, winter is still holding its grip on us. We have lots and lots and lots of snow but the light is slowly returning.
Thinking of you and praying for your complete recovery.
Greetings from the Teneb�ck family in Sweden

Hello from the Cranfords! Will thought it was cool that he took your tent on his 13 mile hike. Do you remember when he came to your Eagle ceremony in his cub scout uniform? When we left he said that he wanted Creighton to speak when he made Eagle. Little did we know than that you would embark on this journey and have a meaningful story to tell. Your old troop is thriving. The boys are all great and are working hard. I think that many of them will join you as Eagle scouts from troop 205.

I know that you can't wait to get back to Wofford. Your Mom will miss you so you must remember to call her at least 3 times a day. We would love to have you back in Rock Hill every week-end, too.

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Hi Creighton,
I'm so glad you continue to do so well. I have been reading your journal since it was started. Your aunt is the best and you truly are an inspiration! (BTW, Men with the shaved head look is the "Thing" right now. Some guys can't pull it off but from some of the pictures I've seen, you can! So don't sweat it!)
Did you get the pictures I sent of you and Meredith Gettys taken at Glencarin Gardens the day of NWHS Sr. Prom? You both looked sharp.
Take care,
Cindy Caudill (Anna and Sera Lind's Mom) <ccaudill@comporium.net>

It sounds like the light at the end of the long tunnel is getting brighter...just continue to hang in during these next few weeks. Knowing that you will soon be able to rejoin your friends at Wofford should help during the tough treatment times. The praises for your improving health and the prayers for continuation won't let up! And, I agree with your Aunt Margaret...it is wonderful to really hear from YOU. But, what a wonderful job she did of keeping all of us informed about someone so special to so many of us!!
Much love,

PS... I knew there were visitors there when I came by so I just left the bread at the side door. I'll bring more by soon!

Creighton-
Just wanted to let you know that the Lee family is still thinking about you! I have been living in Charleston all summer and haven't been able to check this site as regularly, but I stuck with the "no news is good news" motto while I was away. I'm glad chemo is still going well and I'm sure your family is keeping you in good spirits. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers! I know you will finish this trying period as bravely as you began.

Creighton,
I was in high school with your dad and yes, he was very impressive then too. We were all sure he would be the President one day. You are quite an impressive young man, also. I pray you will get through your treatments and make a complete recovery. You will go through this life and appreciate each day and have the wisdom of those much older. When my son, Richard, almost died from falling off a waterfall, I sat by his hospital bed and prayed repeatedly he would one day tell his grandchildren about the accident. I knew if he had grandchildren he had to be pretty old. I'm praying you will tell your great- grandchildren about your illness. God speed your recovery.

Hi Creighton. I'm glad that you are tolerating your treatments and your mother. (Sally, you know I'm joking--sort of). Jack was disappointed that he didn't get to see you earlier this week but he did enjoy seeing Margaret and hearing about her adventures in France. He hopes to visit you before too long--and so the does the rest of our family. Take care. We miss being your neighbors!!!

Hope all continues to go well, Creighton and hope you are feeling as well as you possibly can for what you are going thru. You better get better so you can come out to the river and supervise your brother. He's been living it up as far as I can tell ( all the beer containers on the pier). Or are you all going to try to blame that on poor innocent Mrs. Hayes again. I am kidding (Little Wes). I have yelled at him down the bank and asked about you and his graduation but I am keeping a watchful eye - he' behaving. Continue to do well and I know you are continually in peoples' prayers. God Bless and boycott Aruba and Dell computers. Had to get my humor in!

Hey Creighton, How's it going? I have been out of town for a few weeks(the beach) and haven't been able to check in on you. Guess what I did? Your Uncle Ronnie is not going to believe it...I am such a scaredy cat!!! I went Parasailing!!! It was great!!! However, the ride out to the boat was TERRIFING(sp)!!! Had to ride a banana boatWAY out to the Parasail boat and the water was soooo ROUGH!! I was screaming and yelling the whole ride!!! It's been almost a week since and my arms, hands, fingers, & shoulders are still sore from holding on for DEAR LIFE...hahahahaha! Some of the wave swells were 4 to 6ft or more high(no kidding). I told the guy who was driving the Parasail boat I would give him a generous tip if he would get me as close to shore as possible, so I wouldn't have to ride that dang banana boat for such a long time and thank the Lord, he did it.
And get this, while we were out Parasailing, the Coast Guard called all boats in because the winds were too high for small crafts...yiks! We were the last boat in. Freaky !
I tend to bring on the freaky stuff...hahahaa! Ask Anna Katherine, she knows, about my iceskating accident in Colorada about 10 or more years ago.
Well I am sure you would have gotten a real kick & a huge laugh out of seeing my Parasail adventure! I can be a bit melodramatic...hahaha!
Take care, and all my thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.
Lots of love,
Debra

Dear Creighton and Family: Just a short note to let you know our prayers from Calvary Church in Charlotte have not ceased. We are following your progress and keep you and your family on our prayer list and will continue. Just a side note: I love to walk/run half marathons. With every one I do; I start out praying then as each mile goes by Philippians 4:13 is repeated over and over...."I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I am praying that for you as you get through this month of chemo. Great is His faithfulness......Karen Tinsley Helms

Morning Creighton,
Well I did not forget you nor did I die - my computer did. Took the old Dell to Value PC on Cherry RD - was just running a little slow and had a few bugs i could not get removed myself. Well they wiped out the bugs and all - called me and said you can pick up your computer but everything is wiped out. We could not fix it. I was livid!! It was wotking just fine when i took it other than some winpup I could not remove and adware said it was not good. Well they removed winpup and everything. So long story short - had to order and wait on new Dell and STAY AWAY FROM VALUE PC in Bilo shopping center!! But glad you are doing well and still going to tell you about the time I spent the night Betsy and what your granddaddy Hayes did to us. But we did deserve it. Imagine that.
Well even though I have been pc'less, you ahve still been in our thoughts and prayers and kept up with you through my mom who talked to Mrs. Hayes a few times. What a special lady!! And of course your family follows right along with her greatness. Take care and Godspeed.

Please tell Wes and Sally hello from Nancy (Hyder) and Bill Robinson from Greenville. We saw them at our reunion last year. We are praying for you and wish you a speedy recovery.

Hey Toon Man, Just read the newspaper article about you online. I've been at the beach and missed the paper. GREAT ARTICLE!!!! You still continue to amaze me..such an inspiration!!! Back in April,I emailed your site to everyone on my email list and they all continue to ask about you and continue to have you & your family in their prayers. Gosh, how PROUD you Mom & Dad must be of you! Although, I can imagine how hard it can be, your strength, attitude and faith are helping keep them strong. God's Love is surely shining on you & your family.
Well, I am gonna be out of town for a couple of weeks, so I want be able to keep up with you on your site. My granddaughter, McKenzie & I are gonna be major beachbums this summer, as much as possible! The rest of the family will be coming off & on. I will check up on you through Ronnie & Katherine. I hate it when I miss some of the cute pictures your Aunt Margaret puts up. Love that Tweetsie photo!
We were at Myrtle Beach for both "Bike Weeks". It was wild! I had never been there for these weeks & boy, some of the sights we saw..too many fannies & much more...ewwwww!! Blew my mind!!! You couldn't even get out on the road, unless you wanted to be stuck in traffic for a couple of hours. There were some cool looking motorcycles and cars, though, but you couldn't get me on one for nothing!!! I tell ya, those bikers can party like crazy, 24/7!!! Everybody lined up in chairs & golf carts, etc. on the side of the streets & highways to watch all Bikers . It was like a all day/night parade! Never seen anything like it! I must say it was pretty entertaining, even for us old folks..hahaha!
Well, I'll stop my babbling for now!
Always know you are in my thoughts & prayers! Send my love to your Mom & Dad.
All my love,
Debra

Creighton, you and your family are in our thoughts prayers. Our son, Brian Stewart, 28, from Chester was diagnosed with Hodgkins in 2002, he went thru chemo and radiation. We know what you and your family are going thru. Brian has an identical twin brother. Brian met a wonderful girl just as he got sick and couldn't understand how she could like him. He used to joke that he looked like an Alien with no hair, eyelashes, or eyebrows. He is in remission and continues to have good reports. He is now married to that wonderful girl who saw him at his worse (March 19, 2005). I know you are going through a tough time but hang on, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

I read your article in The Herald yesterday. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. You have always been a very special young man. I remember when you entered Richmond Drive Elementary. I was your principal and felt very privileged to get to know your family. You lived across the street from the school and I remember watching you grow and mature into the special person you have become. Hang in there. God continues to bless and work miracles daily.

Hey Creighton:
You may not know us but you may have had to have a wrecker a time or two, hopefully you called us! Ha! No, anyway we read your article in the paper today & we just had to write...Frank was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in April of 2004. He has just completed a "Stem Cell Transplant" at CMC. He is doing good! We are to have a CT Scan done in July to see how the Transplant did. But I would like to express to you that we know what you and your family is going through & that prayer really does work. The Power of Prayer is really unbelievable. Frank had many people & churches praying for him just like you. They are still praying! Just keep your faith & your attitude & it will be no time you will be back & healthly. This time period in your life is just a blink of the eye! Time does fly by & it will be Christmas & you will be over this before you know it. We will be praying for you & your family (I know 1st hand that it effects the whole family. We have two boys...13 & 11. We have all learned alot.) If you would like to talk to Frank please do not hesitate to call him. You can probably catch him at the shop. He would love to talk to you. We will be thinking of you for the next couple of months. Take Care, Good Luck & God Bless.

You don't know me, but I read about Creighton in the paper today. My name is Niki Bayne and I'm currently undergoing chemo too. I have osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. I am battling cancer for the 3rd time, chemo for the 2nd time. I have a recurrence of osteo in my lungs right now. I wanted to sign this because not everyone can say they know what Creighton is going through, but I do. I had 19 rounds of chemo the first time and they were all impatient. Now I'm getting outpatient chemo. I just wanted to let Creighton know that there are people who have been in his shoes. He seems to have a good attitude and from experience, I've learned that's what it takes. I hope everything goes well this week and I'll be praying for him.

I spoke with your father this morning at church to see how you were doing. Jason and I hope to drop by sometime soon to visit. I'm so glad to hear that things are going well with your treatments. Just keep the faith and "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28).

Dear Creighton and Hayes family,
I was so glad to see the article in the paper about you. I heard about what happened through the "wrestling grapevine" and have been praying for all of you. While I know we can never really know all that you have endured, I do know from personal experience a small bit of what your family has been through. I truly believe that only your faith can get you through with the kind of peace and grace that I have heard all of you display. I cannot express how high our regard for you and your family has always been through our years of knowing you. My only regret is that we didn't know your "real" name during all of those wrestling seasons--TOON-- would have been much easier to yell!!:)
Will our WARMEST regards and earnest prayers,

Let's see, Will was a Confederate soldier, a Knight, even one of the three musketeers (with the Snyder boys for Halloween, Pressley Snyder was the ghost of a musketeer!) But Will's all time favorite, and I bet it was yours, was a GI Joe combat soldier. It's fun to think about those times when ya'll were little.
Will's going to be home at the end of this week and he hopes he can visit you. All the McCarthys think of you and your family and send you our love and prayers.

Hey Creighton. I'm sorry Robert and I missed you when we came to Rock Hill, but I was thrilled that you were able to get out to a movie! We are continuing to pray for you and your wonderful family so that you will all come through this illness very soon:--you well and back at Wofford and your family secure knowing that you are healthy and back at the business of growing into the successful person you will become. You may be weary of the "process" right now, but to borrow a quote you may have already read through your marvelous Aunt Margaret's efforts: God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way." We are praying for this next round of treatments to go well and for you all to come through it stronger! Susi, Robert, Rob, Larry, and John McWilliams

Creighton,
Just a note to say that we are continuing to pray for you here in Virginia. You are making an impact on folks that you've never met. God is always good. Hang in there on avoiding the raw fruits and veggies. After five months of no salads (and no "eating out"), I went to "Golden Corral" with my son, Benjamin, and we did our best to make up for lost time. We were very full....

Creighton, we just found out from Susi McWilliams about your illness. I have read everyone's comments and best wishes. You sure do have a lot of friends and supporters. You know we are thinking of and praying for you. Of course, it will not be long before you are back at Wofford. Please let us know if we can do anything. Remember how you and Ben used to talk about wrestling when we got together at Christmas?? He is headed to law school. Your Dad was a big help in getting him in. You have a great family, and I know they are doing everything to get this behind you. We will stay in touch. Ben, Beth, Susan and Joel Stoudenmire

Hey Creighton, I just had a thought...if you're anything like my sons, you might be getting a wee bit tired of "you know who." Hint: put the bag in the car (the golf bag, that is) and tell her there are three others waiting for her at Waterford C.C. Remind her to bring her antics.

Hey Creighton,
I have been thinking lots about you and your family, but haven't written on this site lately...so thought I would let you know we are still praying for you. I know that you are going to be the one graduating in just a few years, even though it probably won't be from CU. That's ok, I have had to live with CU grads myself...you will make it! Now that I know you are home and having guests, I will send Ray over with some food and a visit.
Keep the faith-

Hey Creighton, I'm very impressed at how many folks are continuing to keep in close touch with you and your progress. I have thought alot about you since your journey began. Some of the reading I have done lately is relative to what you are going through and I have thoughts about why God chooses people for different tasks that we certainly would not chose for ourselves. Of course, our Presbyterian Doctrines teach us in Romans how we are chosen by Him before time as we know it began, and how He created time. John Clayton's book "The Source" is a good read talking about the deminsions of God relative to the demensions of man and how God relates to time and space. All that relates to His ultimate plan for us and his foreknowledge of us and our choices. Another was about what God thinks of each of us. How much He loves us and how He chooses us for different paths. That coupled with the fact that He won't give us more than we can handle tells me that He thinks you are one tough guy knowing how you are going to respond. Few people can rise to such an occasion. Rest assured that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. Your Friend, Rusty Darby

Hey Cruton! Just to remind you, the Tinsleys are still in your corner along with so many others. We are continuing in our prayers and confident of your future. God is so awesome, He never forsakes us and never forgets us. He knows every fear we have and it's so cool the way He reminds us He's always there. You may think you haven't seen Him but you have. You know that time in the morning as the sun is just coming up, you look out across the lake and see the mist rising from the still water? That's Him. God shows Himself through natural revelation every single day, take a little time and see for yourself. Keep fighting, Drenner

Congratulations on the progress Creighton and to Little Wesley even though he is not graduating from USC, he still deserves a big hug. I know when there were not alot of post and entries on my nephews site, that was always the case - no news was good news. Now I promise to tell you what your grandfather, Bob did to me when I spent the night with Betsy but right now I am going to include you as well as Judge Hayes in my prayers - a Clemson graduate in the family - yuck!! I am kidding Little Wes! I know you will be successful in whatever you do and congratulations, again.

Creighton - I ask your daddy every day how you are and he smiles and says "He's doing great"! I'm so glad - the power of prayer is remarkable and there are hundreds of thousands of people all over the USA praying for you and your family - and most importantly, too - your doctors and nurses, giving them the wisdom and love to care for you! Susi McWilliams is one of my friends from church and we used to live across the street from each other when her boys were babies. Anyhow, I love to cook too and I told your daddy to get with you soon and tell me something spectacular you'd like to have to eat and I'll make it and send it home with him from the State House - anything - absolutely anything you want!!! You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers every day - I still have your name written right by my computer keyboard so every time I get on the computer I think of you and say a prayer - that's a lot of prayers on any given day at the Senate!! Have a great weekend - and get those tastebuds busy about what you want me to fix for you - your daddy is expecting you to come up with something good!! Gale Kennedy, S.C. Senate

Hi Creighton,
Glad to see things went so well with this surgery. Stay strong and let Sally and her sisters pamper you all you can. One of my favorite little inspirational sayings is you have to remember when dealt a bad hand, "God's delays are not God's denial's."
Now tell your daddy I never thought I'd see the day "Tiger fans" would be allowed to sign this site. Your grandfather, Bob is doing flips which next time I sign I will have to tell you a very funny story that he did to me and Betsy when we were small and it is one of those childhood memories that has always stayed with me. Now, I will admit, not good with me and Betsy involved but I always admired Bob and thought the world of him. This just made the admiration grow. - Give youa litle cle - he punished me and Betsy. Imagine that.
Well thoughts and prayers coming your way from our household and Godspeed, Creighton.

Creighton, Sally, Wes, and family,

We have been keeping up with Creighton's illness and great progress but just found out about your website from Jimmy Stegall at the State Dental Meeting last weekend. What a wonderful way to keep all who care about you and your family informed! Please know that you have and will continue to be in our prayers, as well as the prayers of our church family, and Community Bible Study which covers 3 counties in the upstate.

As all of us who have been down a difficult road with children know, this is a part of God's plan and there is great comfort in knowing HE is in charge and will never leave you or forsake you. Follow Him. Rest in his arms on difficult days and soar with his eagles on bright ones!

We will continue to pray for your complete recovery and ask a special blessing on all those close to you, as they seek to witness for God's glory in these difficult times. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In ALL your ways acknowlege him, and he WILL direct your paths.

We love and miss all of you and wish we were there to help out. Mary

Good Morning Toonie,
The boys are getting dressed for school and wanted me to tell you that they each said a special prayer last night and this morning that the insertion of the catheter goes well. They also wanted to tell you again that they love you. I am getting dressed (wow the crossing guard will be so shocked I am not in my Pajama's this morning!!!) too and will see you in Charlotte before you go in so I can give you a hug and tell you that I love you in person. I'll bring one of the new war movies we got saturday and we can watch it when you get in your room if you feel like it. I'll bring another one on VHS too in case your mom and dad want to watch one with us. With all my love, Aunt Margaret
PS-last night during the boys prayers and bedtime readings the boys and I discussed how heroes and soldiers come in all sorts of venues---we recognized that you have displayed tremendous courage in your fight against this cancer and will forever be our "brave warrior" !

Adrian and Bill have been making more stars for those in the neighborhood who want to shine their light for you. All the wind recently had worn the electrical wire to our star so much it went completely dark. Adrian lowered it last night and we spliced the wire to get it working again and hung it back up. I trust you have seen the stars aroung the neighborhood; I'm sure some folks must be wondering what is going on??? I'm praying for you and all your family daily. Dwight Neese

Creighton,
Did not get on pc yesterday (strep throat) and did not feel like sitting. But first thing I did this AM and thrilled to read Monday's great report. I am sure you enjoyed the night at Nakato's and getting out in public. Like I said, been there and done that with a close relative and sure no fun being secluded. But you are still in all our thoughts and prayers. Godspeed and say "hi" to your mom and dad. To heck with George W and I voted for him but Wes and Sally are "fluential" enough for me.

Creighton- I heard about your sickness through some friends at Wofford. I have been amazed by the love and the power of prayer that has been in your life. I was very relieved to see that you had such a wonderful day today. My mother was sick when I was a senior in high school and I remember that it was the little things like sitting on the porch and getting a few minutes in the sun that really helped pick up her spirits as well as help heal her body. I hope you enjoyed the sushi. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers! A verse that I cling to often in times of trial and good times as well... "Now stand still and see this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes." (I Samuel 12:16) May God bless you with continued progress!

Rock Hill, SC USA - Monday, April 25, 2005 4:39 PM CDT

Creighton I think Aunt M. is taking this time to teach you some painful truths about this family! Yes, it is true your mama was the favorite of the Charlotte grandparents. I think she is the favorite of many! Ask her how many times I whined, "No one loves me." I even had this quote printed in Reader's Digest. Leila Greeley sent it in. "I don't love anybody but God and the Red Cross! Because they are for people no one else loves!"
Mag., the pics are great. How about that face on AK at the beach?! Typical. Keep being strong Toon Man. I know this wasn't the best weekend. Hang in there. There are much brighter days ahead.
I love you (and obviously you are really loved!)

Hello from the country - we are watching the trout jump for food...literally, and one or two or three.....are waiting to be caught (and eaten?) by you!! Michael and I would love to have you come out when you feel like eating trout!
It is so cool to read about your daily progress and get information about specific prayer needs...the incredible gift of caringbridge and emails...however, I just wonder how you have allowed, permitted, authorized, choose your own word - your Aunt Margaret to "oversee" your site...that is really taking a risk! I don't know her, but will make it a point to meet her and soon. :-) Seriously, how blessed you are to have family - including extended family - that care soooooo much.
You are in our prayers. Keep the faith! Take care of yourself...watch out for the bad guys (the germs) and know that many, many people love and care for YOU!

I was told that you went to Philmont with your father just as I did. I know that Philmont was full of difficult challenges, but you were big enough to complete every one. So I know that you will be big enough to keep fighting through your treatments. I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Good luck with the rest of your treatments--nearly half way through and you are fighting like a champ! We are thinking of you and your family and praying that the process goes as smoothly as something so challenging can. I know that you and your parents are calling upon all your inner strength to get through this--please know that there are thousands of people praying for the continued renewal of that strength, so that you can and will get through this!
P.S. I am prepared to deliver my world-famous pound cake just as soon as you are allowed visitors! I don't like to brag, but I do believe it is the best ever made--I'd love to bring you some as soon as you can enjoy it! Take care,

Clemson, SC US - Saturday, April 23, 2005 2:24 PM CDT

Creighton, just a little information you've probably already learned through the years but maybe good to hear from a different perspective. I was fortunate through the years to have known your grandfather Harry Shurley and considered him to be one of finest men in Rock Hill. My dad (Harry Tinsley) served with him on the session at Westminster and I can remember him always speaking of Mr. Shurley with a very high regard, and dad was never the one to throw out undeserved praise. Mr. Shurley always showed courtesy to everyone he talked to and had an interest in what you had to say. I recognized this trait in him even as a child. He was one of those old guys you knew when you shook his hand and he told you something you could take it to the bank. Mr. Shurley had a gentleness about him that made you feel comfortable being in his presence, I suppose you could say he was a true southern gentleman. The point I'm trying to make Creighton is that it's obvious you share some of those same traits and they're admirable. Through all this mess you're going through you've shown us all something about yourself we knew all along, you've got the right stuff kid. Keep fighting, Drenner

Creighton,
It was great talking to your Mom last week. We are still trying to get this family reunion thing going.
By the way, don't you know you can get in trouble for painting your face? I guess you were not getting ready to go eat in a restaurant. In case you don't remember, y'all were here visiting. On the way to Julians Restaurant to eat, you decided to write all over your face. Sally, to say the least, was not very happy with you! Once inside the restaurant, low and behold, they were having face painting for the kids. That lady could not have PAID you to paint your face.
Continuing to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Dell

Like the time the two of you jumped out of a window at the beachouse one night to go meet some girls? Too bad the girls stood the two of you up. You see Creighton??? Everyone thinks you are such a boy scout(I know, that would be Eagle scout) but all they need to do is just talk to me. And heaven help anyone get anywhere near your face when you're eating.

Morning Creighton,
Glad to hear all is still well and you are able to be home where your mom can spoil you. And i read most of the posts abd noticed the one from Amelia Cotty. Believe half you hear about your dad on Ascot and everything and MORE you hear about Betsy. I went over to my mom's yesterday. It saddens me everytime I turn the corner off Sumter onto Ascot. My daughter and I are going - "Hey, that Mrs. Hayes" house but she is such a special lady and my mom says she is happy. She is so well loved, I am sure she would be happy anywhere.
Continue to do well and know you are in our prayers every day' Having had a nephew with leukemia, I understand more then you know the daily strives and feats a cancer patient can accomplish when so many are praying for them and keep the positive attitude. And all the "lingo" about the counts and all is all too fresh in my mind. God bless and stay strong. And by the way, you are lucky Wofford is still standing after my son, Brad and your cousin, Hayes left their mark on it. Just kidding - they are 2 good boys.

Creighton, I wake up each day so sad that you are having to go through this awful and unbelievable time in your life. I look back at the precious pictures of our families and think how I wish that we could go back to those happy, sweet, innocent times in our lives. God doesn't give us more than we can handle and I continue to be amazed at your strength, your mama's love and devotion, your daddy's unending stamina, Margaret's adorable sense of humor and unconditional love, Wesley's "big brother" protection and adoration. I am thankful this awful disease has enabled us to remember and reflect on how much we love each other and remember how important it is for us to be there for each other. I am just so very sorry you have to go through this. You really are a great nephew and I love you very much. Hang in there and continue to display an attitude that reflects the best of each person important in your life.

I love you and am very proud of you and your determined, fighting spirit.

I guess I will have to break down and watch Napoleon Dynamite and pass judgment on who I think is right. I may wait for Laurens and Anna to come home as sometimes I laugh just because they are laughing! I guess the same goes as I cry just because others I love are crying! When you quit hurting...so will I.

Always,

Dear Creighton,
hey! You may not remember me or know me but i went to Northwestern with you. I saw what was going on and i wanted to tell you a few words of encouragement. I know the past weeks have been very hard for you but i know you can get through them all. God has a special way of testing people and i guess this is the way he wants to try you out. I know things are very hard for you right now and one more person saying, KEEP IT UP or YOUR DOING GREAT might not mean as much, but hey what do you expect? HaHa I know you can get through this and i know you are already a wonderful person as it is, but this will surely make you so much stronger...as i can see it already has. Take everything slowly and one step at a time. And when you feel like you want to cry, think of all the good times and just laugh the tears all away. I promise they will make you feel somewhat better inside. A little quote i always try to live by," If God puts you to it, he will surely get you through it." Keep in mind all the people that are here for you and know how much you truly mean to everyone. Love always- Paige Fowler

Wesley just told me the good new about your health. I have and will continue to prey for you each and every night. I know momma is at home taking very good care of you and after being away at collage you need a little TLC(LOL). I wish you the best in your recovery and I hope you will like this quote I got for you. "Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away." Dont worry about a thing I love you and my family wishes you and your family blessings. I will stop by when your better and talk with you for a while take care.

Hi Creighton,
Well, it sure sounds like you and your body are fighting this crazy thing like mad!!!!!!!!!!!Keep it up. I love the head shaved!!!!! Believe it or not, but Ric is finally letting his hair grow a little because Citadel upperclassmen would come up to him on the streets of Charleston and ask where his uniform was. I can imagine they were not very nice when they said it either. I am sure it will be shaved again as soon as classes are finished. I hope you are enjoying the iPod. I took Ric's to the gym one day with me and it sounds like the band is right there with you and nobody or nothing else is around you. Really cool , ugh.
Take care of yourself and just know we are all still thinking of you!!!!!!!!

From what your Aunt Margaret says, it sounds like you hung pretty tough against the first week. Just keep that strong, positive outlook that this is an obstacle that can be taken down. You know you have God with you, as well as a gazillion others that pray for you everyday and there is not a one of us that is going to let up. We just know that soon we will be offering prayers of praise for your returning health. I now have pictures of you ("Thanks, Maragret!!") to share with the "newer" teachers at R.Dr. that didn't teach you but have still been praying for you and your family each and everyday. Keep fighting and we'll keep praying! Love to you and your family!

I am so glad to hear that your chemotherapy treatments are going well so far. You'll be back to normal in no time! On Friday night, I went to the College Town Relay for Life in Spartanburg. It was sponsored by Wofford, Converse, Spartanburg Methodist and USC Upstate. At the Relay, we had a moment of silence and a speical lap around the track in your honor. Everyone here in Sparkle City is praying for you and hoping for your quick recovery. Hopefully, the money that we raised on Friday night will help fight the battle against cancer and one day overcome it. I look forward to seeing you soon!

Oh yeah, wanted to ask you, is that pretty long dark hair girl who's in several pictures with you & your family, well is she your "girl"? Just a little curiosity on my part or do they call that "nosey"?

Hello Creighton,
My name is Carrie Ghai and I learned about you from Kathy Watkins who I understand is a friend/neighbor of your family. So why is someone from Dallas TX in your Guestbook? Well Kathy & I are working together and I told her thatI am running for Team in Training part of the LLS. I am midway way to raising at least $4000 to support research that I know will help you and and many other heroes. That's what we call you. I may be able to run to help find & fund a cure but you are the real one racing & I'm sure winning a far more important race. I am training for the 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles) in Anchorage on June 18th and am doing well with my training - well for a nearly 40 old girl who never ran a mile in her life before this:-) . Anyway I would like to add you to my list of heroes that I think about when I face the next huge hill (or infact tommorow the first 10 miler) - if that's OK - you'll be joining Christine who's 13(in remission) and my best friend's neice, Chris who's 30 here in Dallas in treatment like you and Tre also 13 in remission. I hope that's OK? Just know that I along with many hundreds of TNT particpants are routing for you. If you ever want to check my TNT webpage let me know.(PS Don't be fooled by my accent it really is British ;-) )

Hi Creighton,
My husband Bill Cotty serves in the House and got an email about you and your progress and since I grew up in Rock Hill and am a good friend of your Aunt Ruth,I wanted to let you know that you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers and we know you're gonna sail through all this. Since Ruth and I used to babysit for your father and Betsy ,I can give you the real scoop on them ,including the time your dad set up a road -block on Ascot Ridge Rd.,while Ruth and I were supposed to be watching him!!!
We're all pulling for you!!

Creighton, This website is proving to be more than just a message center for you, it's a window of opportunity for many of us to see the love and heartfelt feelings that other people have and are willing to display. I've read every message and it's obvious to me that God is working through you and the situation you're faced with. I believe God is telling us all to pause a moment and decide what is important in our lives. He has a way of getting our attention sometimes, you think? I want you to know Creighton, God is in control and He will see you through. This is going to be an episode in your life you'll look back on and realize it was a defining moment. It will be a moment in your life you may view as an interuption but after reflection I believe you'll realize it was a special time God used you as an example of His grace and mercy. We will be in constant prayer for you through this journey and can't wait to celebrate your victory over it. And by the way, Blake will be home in about three weeks from The Citadel and since he's accustomed to being ordered around, I'll just go ahead and loan him out to you, do with him as you will. Love Drenner,Marsha,Blake and Miles

Hi Creighton,
Suzie Amerson, again, and I love the collage of picture. But i check in each day to read your journal each day and just wanted to comment. But since Kevin showed me the picture of your grandmother inthe boat and one of your "so called" friends blamed the beer cans on Mrs Hayes, I have been concerned. Tell your dad I hope he is in Columbia, as with swiming weather approaching, I hate BUI" as badly as I do "DUI." So tell he to work on a law against "boaters under the influence" and keep us sober people safe. Just had to throw in a little humor ( I am like your Aunt Betsy), but glad to see each time i read it sounds as though you are doing well. You are still in our thoughts and prayers. My nephew has a caringbridge web site and he was in Seattle ( far away from all his loved ones) for about 6 months and they are are wonderful ways to update family and people who care about you. Keep on doing well and Godspeed.

Hey Creighton,
You are one much-loved guy, as evidenced by the outpouring of mail you've received. Though you don't know me, I wanted to send a few words - 1st, to let you know that one more family is praying for you and pulling for you. And 2nd, because we've also been on a journey involving lymphoma.
I see that our son, David, has beat me to this guestbook and told you a little of his experience. His first diagnosis was lymphoblastic lymphoma, but was later changed after further testing. He completed his treatment last summer, along with major nutritional support, and has had a great senior year.
We just want you know that you are much in our hearts and will continue to be in our prayers. I've written your Mom to say we would be more than happy to pass on anything of value that we have learned along the way. Sounds to me like you have been given much wisdom for this journey. Like you, we were trusting the Lord above all. Looking back, we now see how His hand directed our steps as we "listened" and made decisions based on His leading. This is our trusting prayer for you as well. May He bless you with courage and peace and wisdom and the knowledge of His faithful love . . .and, of course, healing. BLESSINGS ~ Joan White

Dear Creighton,
You are in my thoughts and prayers every single day. I can't think of anything different to say than all the other wonderful messages, but wanted to add mine to the list. Rachel and Laura brought me the news from Northwestern and Ray from Clemson, so I know you have support in every corner...and even people who don't know you are writing and praying. Just keep the faith and believe in the power of prayer. You know everything happens for a reason, even though we don't always know what it is at the time. You made sure that nobody takes anything for granted and that alone is a powerful gift you have given to everyone who knows you or hears about you.
Love, Susan Randall & Rachel, Laura, Ray

Creighton,
I just heard about your illness last night. I am a senior in high school at Southside Christian School down in Simpsonville. In the fall of 2003, I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins, stage 1 pre-B cell lymphoma. Although my diagnosis wasn't as serious as yours is, I understand a bit what you've been dealing with. I finished my own treatments last summer.
There are many things that my family and I have learned about, though the process. I'm sure you and your family are learning new things every day. I would love to share some of this information with you.
Quite seriously, if there is ANYTHING that I can do, please let me know. You may be interested in a website that I have developed to provide news, resources, encouragment, etc... to people affected by cancer: http://www.cancertips.org
I think you'll also find some information on there that is not very well known in the medical field, as well as success stories, etc. You'll also find links to other related websites that also contain information that most in the medical field don't understand.
I wish you peace. It is obvious to me that you have a deep relationship with God. Never let that go. He will always be there!
In Christ,
David White

Hey Creigton,
So glad to hear to tolerating the treatments well. You have a very strong will, a gift from God, I am sure.
Isn't your Aunt Margaret doing a great job wiht the photos on your website ? I don't think she ever sleeps...hahahaha! It is just so wonderful to see in these pictures all the love surrounding you. Ain't nothin like family, for sure, buddy, you are blessed. And I think you're also blessed with an abundance of love from a very large "extended family".
You definitely got a lot of love and pprayers all around.
You continue to have mine and my families'!
Take care and God Bless!

One day you will be able look back and see what a difference this will have made not only in your life, but in the lives of others. What an incredible testimony you will have.

Dr McAninch told me of your illness last night and I've been thinking of you ever since. Kate (Ferguson) gave me a few more details today and says that you are doing well, but from the sound of it this is an extremely tough time for you and for your family. This weekend there is a walk for cancer research here at Wofford and I will have you in my thoughts as I walk. We all look forward to your full recovery and to your return to Wofford. In the meantime I wish you all the best with your treatment.

Hi Creighton, You don't know me but I work at Clemson University in the Student Affairs Divsion. I know your parents from their Clemson connection. I just want to say that a bunch of us Tigers here in Clemson are praying for you. When I heard about you, I must admit I asked why God, but after reading your thoughts and reading many of the letters of support I now know that you are blessed and are loved by many. Just like myself and I don't even know you, you are touching people in ways you can't imagine. You are a source of inspiration, strength and courage. We are all learning to live each day to the fullest and not take the simple things for granted. It is amazing that so many people are praying for you and care about you. How could anyone ask for more in life than to be loved and to have people praying for you. I was involved in a tragic auto accident many years ago and I had serious injuries. At the time, I asked why and now I can see how God has used that experience in my life to make me a better and stronger person. It made me appreciate life a whole lot more and made me count everday as a blessing and to not take life for granted. I know you will be fine and will be a better person as a result. Stay positive and strong, be strong in your faith, and know that God hears each one of our prayers for you.

Creighton,
The Patrick's on Farrow are sending their thoughts and prayers your way. We hope you are doing okay during your treatments. Stay strong and focus on what you need to accomplish during this difficult month. I know that you are going to have bad days and you will have good days. But during those bad days, just remember that God has given you the strength, determination and will power to fight this monster. He has also given you a huge support group or shall I say a "fan club" - although we cannot visit - we are here to cheer you, comfort you, and to make you laugh through email. May God Bless you and your family. Take care.

Dear Creighton

I am a friend of your mother and father. My boys and I sit across the asile from you and your family at Sunday moring worship service. I think I know alot about you from the camping and hiking trip you and your father took at Philmont.(Hope I spelled it right.) My son Max, writes your father periodically about political issues that bother him. I have three (3) boys; Max(13), Julian (9) and Loughan (7). All three(3) play Discovery Soccer and Max is in the Boy Scouts. Your father showed the slides of Philmont to Max's Scout Troop. Your faith is strong and the Lord will bless us all through your witness. We will all pray for you and your family.

Creighton,
You do not know know me but I went to school with your dad. I was one year behind him at RHHS and my brother Jimmy was one year ahead. I am also good friends with the Bruce & Kathy Haire - Bruce has kept me up to date with your progress. I know what kind of a Christian man and fighter you father was and have been told you are no different. If that is the case and with God's help, you will beat this thing with flying colors. You are in my prayers, on the prayer list at my Sunday School Class at WEBC and Church Choir at WEBC; so there are a bunch of folks praying for you. By the way, if D. Tinsley keeps picking on you about the past, let it be known that I graduated with him and I have a few stories of my own, so tell him he had better behave himself. Again, may God continue to watch over and bless you.

Rock Hill, SC USA - Tuesday, April 12, 2005 6:59 PM CDT

Hey!! I just wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you. My best friend was diagnosed with cancer (leukemia)almost 4 years ago. It was considered terminal until they could find a bone marrow donor for him. By the grace of Christ, one was found and he is now one year away from being pronounced "cured" from this disease!! I know for a fact that Christ is the Great Physician and I have absolutely no doubt that He is with you through this whole process, carrying you each step of the way. The Bible says "Come unto me all you who are weary and burdedned and I will give you rest" -Matthew 11:28 (NIV) I know you're probably scared of the unknown, but please, never be scared to trust an unknown future to an all-knowing God. He will NEVER leave you nor will he EVER forsake you. So even when times get tough, lean on Christ and that cross with all your weight. There's a story in Genesis about Moses going out to battle with the Isrealites. In the story, Moses prays for God's strength and God answers him that as long as he keeps his arms raised, his army will be victorious, but if he drops them, his army will be defeated. Well, after a while, Moses' arms begin to tire and so his people began to surround him to hold up his arms for him and help him bear through the hard times. And that is what we are here for. We will help hold your arms up through this battle and one way or another, we will emerge victorious!! "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." -2Peter 1:7.
Oh! One more thing before I leave ya, also in Genesis, at the very beginning in the Garden of Eden, God is speaking to Satan as the serpent and he tells the Devil that "you will strike at man's foot, but he will crush you with his heel". So don't just "hang in there", but you STAND with all power and authority over Satan through this thing and just crush his little head!!!

In Christ,

Cindy Baden

I'm joining the hundreds of people praying for you. You don't know me but I went to elementary and high school with Ruth (Hayes Bruner) and found out about your illness from Rusty DePass. One of my former students, a lovely girl, just went through last year the treatments you're going through, for exactly the same thing. It wasn't easy, but she is now healthy and continuing her studies at the College of Charleston, soon on the way to a semester in France. Prayers and good doctors saved her and they will save you. There is hope. Hang on. Lollie Eykyn

Good Morning, Creighton:My 'little' brother, Drenner, tickles me!!! I am so sure he has a story for you every single day, Creighton; and I am sure he loves reminding you of each one of them. Drenner & Marsha have told me of so many wonderful times they have enjoyed with you being with their family; and I am sure Blake is a very anxious young man to get home so he can be closer to his 'very best friend'. "Let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind." James 1:6 I pray for strength and courage today, Creighton; having no doubt God hears my prayer. May God truly bless you indeed. Karen T. Helms, Elizabeth & Sara

One of my alltime favorite stories is "Footprints" - when there was only one set of footprints in the sand it was then that Jesus carried me - what a beautiful thought for you! I'm the "cook" at the Senate - when you're feeling better and up to eating something really special, tell your dad to let me know so I can fix you up right! I'll see him when he returns to the Senate since my office is next to his. I have your name next to my computer so I say a little prayer for you about 50 times a day!!Much love to you all!!

Your message to us confirmed what we have read in every posting to this website...you really are an amazing young man! Thank you for making us all feel better as we are praying so diligently for you to have the strength needed these next few weeks. The treatments may exhaust your body but they won't weaken your soul. I always feel closer to God outside in His beautiful world so I spent the entire day outside and sent up prayer after prayer as you were beginning your treatments. Hang tough and know we all love you and your family! PS...I think Drenner should plan a fishing trip for your group from RDr....sort of an extended P.E. class and I get to go along!!

I know you were a tornado...on crutches!!!You are probably going to feel like you have been hit by a tornado after this round of chemo. But, I have no doubt that you will conquer it with the same sense of humor you have always had! Hang in there and know that we haven't forgotten you-we are all still out here pulling for you!!!

Hi Creighton You & your family have been in the prayers of both of us in these last couple of weeks. I was reading tonight where your chemo was beginning today. We have two childen only slightly older than you, and it is hard to imagine what all of you guys are experiencing. Also, a young lady that works in my veterinary office, Kendall Weaver, began treatment about 3 weeks ago for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It is clear that a lot of folks have been bending God's ear quite a bit lately. Blessings to each of you and we are most prayerful that you will tolerate the treatment very well, and that your response to the treatment will be complete!! Roger & Kathy Troutman

CREIGHTON!!!!!!! DUDE!! I can't believe you posted the picture of you and the fish " YOU TOOK FROM ME ". That redfish was caught in a lake on the grounds at Litchfield Beach. I took Blake and Creighton fishing one morning, baited the hook, threw it out for Creighton , put the fishing rod in his hands, walked 20 feet away and the next thing I see and hear is Creighton yelling WHOA and leaning backward like he was doing the limbo!!!! He fought that fish for 20 minutes and didn't give an inch, got it up to the shoreline and put a net on it. We got a young man who was standing there watching everything to take this picture. I never knew he mailed him the photo. Creighton, if you fight this cancer like you fought that fish it wont have a chance. Get well and I'll take you and Blake and we'll go hunting redfish again.

I thought of you this morning when I read my devotion. Mignon McLaughlin writes, " The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next." You have certainly displayed a great amount of that courage. We will be continuously praying for you in the next weeks. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.

Creighton, I am so proud of you, just as I know your parents and family are. Thank you for such a beautiful message for us all in your journal.What a testament to Christians every where! And I know God is smiling down on you. Your strength and faith are such an inspiration to me and to many others too,it seems, after reading the entries in your guestbook. If we all could be more like you, this would be a better world. That verse in Phillipians "I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me" is such a wonderful instrument God has given to us to get us through EVERY day. I know it has brought me through many difficult times and I hold onto it always. You hold onto in too. I have Faith you can beat this, Creighton. You are such an incredible young man!
Also, I would love to see a pic of your shaved head. I bet you are more handsome than ever(as your Aunt Margaret said). Hey, we can get you some lollipops and you can be a "Young Kojak"!!! That would be sooo cool!
Sending you all my love and prayers,

Creighton - Good Luck this upcoming week. I am sure you will see progress with chemo and that you will be back to normal in no time. Over the years, I have seen you become a strong willed person, who could do anything you put your mind to. I am thinking about you daily and looking forward to seeing you soon. You better let me borrow all the songs you have now on your new IPOD. I can't make you, like I did in the past, because you are bigger than me now, but that just means that you will have to give this old man a break. Anyway, Be strong and I'll Talk to you soon.

HI Creighton,
I just wanted you to know that not a day goes by that my kids, Harold and I aren't talking about you and your family. I wish we were just across the street so I could be of help in some kind of way. We have had the best time tailgating at Clemson with your family and almost turning your dad into a huge Clemson fan. Don't tell him, but one time when Margaret and the cheer squad were performing a pom routine to the Tiger Fight song that we adapted to a Raider Fight song, I witnessed your dad clapping and smiling with the girls and their routine. You know, he actually has good rythym!!!! I thought that was so sweet but I have never told anyone before because I wouldn't want to ruin his USC image. Please give yourself a big ole hug for me and give that sweet sister of yours a hug for me too. Take care and know that many, many prayers are headed to heaven just for you. love, Edith Hoke

Edgar here. It was great talking to you over spring break. I just want you to know that it was a pleasure spending my first year here at Wofford with you as my roommate. Nobody else on this earth could replace you in good old Marsh 210. Good old Marsh 210. Man we've had some good times in there. Hanging with the bros, having our 3rd roommate live own our couch, and all that pregaming before heading to the row. You know that our couch guy was Peter. We can't forget Press, Marc, Jonathon, Kate, Katie, Taylor, Steve, Sturgis, Robert, Chapman, Preston, and Kevin poping in on a routine basis. Man we've had some crazy times here a Wofford. (Bid Day in room 210) I want you to know that we are all keeping you in our prayers. I'm praying for you man. Stay strong. Keep fighting. We'll see you back here at Wofford soon, and you know im always in your corner if you need anything. O yea I heard you got an iPod. Those things are sweet. Now you have something to play all those iTunes you stole from me. Just kidding man.
Well, I will talk to you soon.

We are so proud of you and are blessed to call you a friend. At a time when we should be showering words of encouragement onto you, you have been a true inspiration to all of your friends.

Hey Creighton!

I was so shocked to hear about your illness, it is something that seems so unimaginable to people our age at such a small school like Wofford. It has truly helped me realize again how precious every day is. I truly believe in the power of prayer, so it is so special for you to be able to read how many people care about you! Keep up your great attitude! with love and prayers, brooksie

What a wonderful message Creighton...Talk about tears when arising from the computer chair!!Sweet tears though, for such a sweet young man. Obviously we do not know why God has chosen this path for you, but we have always known that you are special and destined for greatness. Whatever that is, I know that you will be filled with a strength and compassion that is rare for anyone, much less for someone of your young age. Reading your journal message today I already see what a strong faith you have...to hear you thanking God...and the resolve you have...well it is truly amazing. I haven't quite gotten there yet, in fact I question it all the time, I wish that I could take your place in this, it just is not fair. Spending so much time with you has been nice though. Many of the years you spent growing up I was in Washington, Cleveland, and Chicago, so I didn't get to spend as much time with you as I would have liked, so I am thankful that I am able to be here now. Looking at your messages on this website it is clear that I am not alone in supporting you. With such great parents, friends, family, and most of all such an awesome God, you will beat this disease!
I love you Toon Man :-)

Creighton, Hey bud! So you went with the knob haircut huh? Blake will be giving you some grief for not letting him do it. You may want to keep that look, you'll be a chick magnet. Be sure to remind your dad that it's a "Citadel" Knobcut, he'll appreciate that having graduated from West Point. You wont have to worry about brushing your hair, you can just get up in the morning, take a shower and airdry! We are amazed Creighton at the volumn of responses you have received on this website, but then again we understand, it's because everyone has an investment in you. A long time ago we all saw something in you that made us believe "Here's a kid to watch, here's a kid we will see great things from" and we still believe that, maybe even more now. This episode of your life is going to make you stronger, I truly believe that. Your mettle is being challenged but if there's any one person I know who's up to the challenge it's you. Monday is significant for you because you know what you're fighting (wrestling) and now it's your turn. You've got the haircut, now it's time to pin this thing down and take it out. We love you and we are with you, more importantly Jesus Christ is with you. Hang in there old buddy, Drenner

I will continue to pray for Creighton and the family. God is merciful and He loves us. Because of His love I am trusting Him for Creighton's complete healing!

DEAR CREIGHTON,
IT IS SO IMPRESSIVE TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE LOVE EXPRESSED BY SO MANY FOLKS ON YOUR BEHALF THROUGH YOUR GUESTBOOK! YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CERTAINLY HAVE THEIR SHARE OF LOVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

IT HAS ALSO BEEN INSPIRING TO READ THE MANY STORIES OF OTHERS' PERSONAL TRIUMPH OVER ADVERSITY. I KNOW YOU, TOO, WILL GET OVER THIS CHALLENGE. JUST KEEP YOUR FAITH AND A POSITIVE ATTIUTDE WHILE REMEMBERING ALL THE LOVE BEING EXPRESSED FOR YOU.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE FOR YOU JUST AS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THEM (YOUR DAD HAS HELPED ME IMMENSELY IN TRYING TO GET ON THE CITADEL'S BOARD OF VISITORS). PLEASE CALL ON ME IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU OR YOUR FAMILY.

GET WELL SOON!

YOUR TRULY,

Creighton,

Just a happy memory of your Mom & Dad to share with you...since laughter works wonders for your body and mind. "A merry heart doeth good like medicine" Ask Wes & Sally to tell you about one of our backyard parties where they had to run across the yard with a lemon between their knees...or maybe the Halloween MURDER party where Wes wore a gorilla costume, Nancy (neighbor)was killed and a horse was seen in the front yard...among other things. Hope you all can enjoy sharing some of these fun memories since you were too young to appreciate them at the time. You are in our prayers as is your family (I play bridge with Wilbur still)and we are remembering your response to the chemo and praying for no infection! Sue & Wayne Lewis

Susi called today to let me know of Creighton's illness and the positive treatment ahead of him. In Bible study today we read Isaih 58:11 " And the Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones;and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail!" I will be praying that the chemo will have minimal side effects. Love, and prayers, Sylvia Foster Page

This past fall at the Richland Northeast and Northwestern High football game the fans raised funds for my brother in their expenses. He is a football coach at RNE. It shows that when someone is in need there are people to help. You just have to ask. Dont be afraid to ask for anything. Stay strong and positive.

Dear Creighton,
I learned of your illness through my friend and co-worker at Calvary Church in Charlotte. (Karen Helms - Drenner Tinsley's sister.) Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I am praying for a full recovery for you. I am so sorry you are going through this, but I also know God is bigger than all of this and He will pull you through and will give you the strength to battle this cancer. I also have a caringbridge page (www.caringbridge.org/nc/vickichicki)even though I am not battling cancer, it is a new, bizarre and frightening disease that has doctors baffled, not sure of the cause or cure. I have had to take the search for much of my treatment into my own hands. I am learning SO much about building our bodies immune systems which can benefit ANY disease we fight. Please know you are in my prayers and I will keep up with your progress from your web site here.
God bless you and your family.

We are thankful to hear of your good progress and will continue to pray for you and your family as you go through your chemo. treatments starting next Monday.

May you have a good weekend and minimal or no difficult side affects from the 4 weeks of treatments. We are do thankful you are in the Lord's hands and He is and will supply everything you need for each day. May you be very aware of His presence in each day and be encouraged by His love and care.

We are praying for your Mom and Dad, as well as Wes and Margaret too.

Hi Creighton,

You are surrounded by so much love! I put my own prayers out there for you today upon receiving this link to your info.

Last night I saw "Witness to Hope," a biography of the Pope, and I recommend it highly. It gives a spiritual history of the man and helps us appreciate his greatness. The documentary was on PBS and can be ordered through their Website. If you are interested, I will send you a copy if I can.

I know the next four weeks will be a challenge, but I also know as a HAYES that Vreighton is are up to it! I must come see Creighton and fill him in on all the "scoop" about his wonderful mom and dad from college days--Sally and I were at ASC together and I know some GREAT stories! Incidentally, my nephew, Andrew McWilliams, is a freshman at Wofford, in KA--perhaps Creighton has met him! We will be seeing you soon!

Though I actually don't know you Creighton, I feel moved to communicate with you and to pray for you and to let you know that I'm aware of a young lady from Augusta who has a condition that was thought to be terminal. Through much prayer and faith and the skill of her doctors, she is coming through in "flying colors". It was a long time before her doctors could determine what was wrong. She has a prayer beeper/pager that buzzes to let her know that she's being remembered in prayer. It's comforting to know that those who love you are praying for your recovery, and it's even more special when those who have never met you are giving you a "buzz". God Bless You and Your Family

Hey Creighton,
I think with an addition of a webcam, your Aunt Markmeat could become a worldwide web sensation. Just think, all your friends will ask to meet the famous Aunt. She stopped by today while walking Sky. She's always fun to talk to and I know she is great company for you.

Creighton,
There is a story in John Chapter 9 about a man who was born blind. Jesus says, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." While I continue to pray for your recovery, I also thank God for the work he has already begun through you (just look at the guestbook). I'm glad we serve a God who can work out all things, even sickness, for good. I look forward to hearing of your progress and want you to know that I will continue to pray for you and your family.

Hey Creighton, Heard you got to come home from the hospital ...that's great!! It's true what ole "Dorothy" says,"There's no place like Home!" (you know, Dorothy, from the Wizard of Oz) I'm sure you've seen it. I'm sure your Uncle Ronnie had Anna Banna & Laurensypoo(that's our nicknames for them)sit down with him and watch it, but who knows his favorite cartoon to watch with them was....oh shoot , I forgot the name of it..that one with the dogs, one was a chihuaua(sp), and Ronnie & the girls would talk like them all the time??? Do you know which one I am talking 'bout? I'll remember it when I don't have to think about it..that's what happens to you when you hit the BIG 50...ask your Mom & Dad, they know what it's like to be soooo OLD...hahahahaha!!!! Man it's driving me crazy, what is the name of that show??? and it's too late to call Ronnie & ask him! Oh,well! Well, buddy, take care of yourself and tell your Mom & Dad I said Hello and yall are all still in my prayers. This website is too cool. I'm enjoying all the pics of you and your friends(CUTE GIRL)& of course your precious family!
It just seems like yesterday, you, Wes, "Baby" Margaret, Anna Katherine, Laurens, my Amanda & April were just little kiddos! Heck, it just seems like yesterday that me and your Mom were in high school being silly teenagers! Oh and that reminds me, ask you Mom how mad she would get at me, Peggy, & Julia when we would get so tickled at her the few times we ever saw her get mad at something or somebody..man, she'd get even madder at us for laughing at her and then we would laugh ever harder!!!! She was so cute when she was angry & her voice would get sooooo HIGH pitched...hahhahaha! Oh gosh, hope she doen't get mad at me for telling you this,OOPs!!!
Again , our prayers are with you all,and yall come see us over at Grandma Shirley Hargett's house for a swim this summer. Maybe, Anna & Laurens will bring some of there girlfriends over in their "bikinis"!!! Whewwwww!
Take care & God bless. All my love, Debra(Hargett)Deas

Although we have never met, we do go to the same church. I wanted you to know that we have been praying for you and your parents. We have an 18 year old daughter, so my heart goes out to your folks. I enjoyed reading your updates. I never expected to giggle while reading the medical updates from someone with cancer. Your aunt must be a hoot to be around. Please share my favorite joke with her.

A Sunday School teacher asked her class what the Bible says about stealing. "Thou shall not steal," said one little child. She then asked "What does the Bible say about how we should treat our brothers and our sisters?" Quickly, one child responded, "Thou shall not kill!!"

Anyway, be good and continue to get well. WE ARE PRAYING!!

Curt was talking to some of your former classmates and friends from Northwestern, who are now at Newberry with him, about the battle you are fighting. When Curt told me, it immediately took me back to the days of baseball and two young boys playing a game they loved. I remember the great heart and courage you always displayed on the field. I know that as a young man, you are facing your current challenge with that same heart and courage. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I just returned from a Montessori conference in Chicago and heard your news. I was overwhelmed: the illness, your remarkable progress, the AMAZING prayer support! You are truly blessed!! You are on my prayer list and I have added you to our "Peaceful Pray-ers" here at The Children's School. You are truly in our Father's hand.

No doubt this has already been asked and answered, but, Creighton, how did you come by the name of "Toonie?" Anybody know or is it a big secret? Is it because you like to listen to "toons?" Just wondering...Marilyn Rogers

Creighton,
After all of my fussing about the importance of careful proofreading, wouldn't you know I would misspell my name in my last message to you???? Obviously, I did that on purpose for a joke. =)
I think I am retiring none too soon!!
It is like "old home week" reading all the messages in your guestbook.I hope we can talk Lindsey and her mom into having us all over again this summer for a reunion. I promise Mrs. Hamric and I will leave early!!
I think of you many times each day and hope this message finds you in good spirits and feeling well.

Hey Creighton, it's Meghan Caldwell! After reading this website for the first time Saturday, I wanted to tell you how I addicted I am (I think I'm even more addicted than I am to Instant Messenger). I am pleased to hear that you continue to get better and I have complete faith that you are only going to continue. Like everyone else, I am constantly praying for you and just to let you know your name has been added to the Newberry College Prayer List and I have already been approached by several students letting me know that you are in their prayers as well. Stay well rested and continue your climb! Enjoy the movies with your aunt and if y'all run out...you know all she has to do is bring some good 'ol Troubadour cds and that'll keep you entertained!!! Take Care! All my love and hugs! Thinking of you~Meghan Caldwell

You have no idea how much everyone's been thinking about you and praying for you. It was such a shock to hear about you...i just assumed you'd been skipping lovely baby chem!! (not that you'd ever do that! ;) ) Everywhere I've been over spring break the Wofford kids have been talking about you (only good things, of course!). I'm just glad to hear that you're on the road to recovery. I'm going to miss you so much, but know that i'll be thinking about you all the time. The rest of the semester won't be the same without you, but next year when you get back everything will be wonderful again.
Love,

Hey Creighton!
God is wonderful! We have been praying for you and passing your name along to other prayer warriors. I was so glad to hear that you were able to come home yesterday. Susie and I tried to come up to the hospital last week several times, but we always had a road block. Your dad told us to come over and visit. We will soon, but we only want to come when you are ready for visitors. I would love for you to meet Cam. He is 1 1/2 years old now and into everything. He is currently dealing with the nasty cough that is going around so I don't want him to spread any germs to you. Maybe we can come by sometime next week when all is well. I mentioned to your dad that the office girls would like to bring supper by for you and your family one night next week. Susie is sick, and she would rather wait to come over as well. We'll keep praying for you and thinking about you. I still can't get the fond memories of you, Margaret, and Wesley out of my head from the times I kept ya'll. We did have some fun times! Well, I better run for now. We hope to see you before long. GET WELL SOON!!!!!!!
P.S. I don't know if your dad told you that I left a message about the head of the German department calling last week to check on you. I updated her with the information we had, and she also said she wanted to leave word that one of the other German professors had asked about you. I left their names on one of his call sheets last Friday afternoon.

Creighton,
It seems like just yesterday, that you were in Troubs with us. I still miss a few of the seniors from my first year in there, and you're definitely one of them man. You were always there and were never hesitated to come up and ask how I was doing and help make me feel welcome in the group. Ever since then I've tried to do the same with others that are coming in. You're an amazing guy man, and I hate that this is happening, but thank God you're doing better. I heard the news not too long ago from a couple of fellow Troubs (you'd be suprised by how much care and concern is still shared about all those that have left. we're all constantly asking what all the former seniors are up to and such and thats when i found out about you) I can't thank you enough man for all that you did to help me back in 10h grade, and I want you to know that if there is any way that I can help, let me know. You're in my thoughts and prayers always man. God Bless! -Brandon

Hey Creighton! It's Ellie, the girl who ESPECIALLY wants to meet you, according to your favorite cousin of course. I just wanted to let you know that Anna talks about you INCESSANTLY and I am so upset that I can't come to her deb ball and meet you, but we ALL can't wait to meet you when you come down!
Hopefully, this will make you laugh:
So I consider Anna one of my best friends at school and we just love to chill and hang out together. One night after watching a movie in her room, I was talking to her about random stuff. All of a sudden, I burst out saying that I wanted to wear a doo-rag (a scarf that people sleep in). Anna couldn't even contain herself and almost fell out of her chair she was laughing so hard. After a good five minutes of her laughing AT ME, so concludes with the comment that she wasn't allowed to be my friend anymore!
Okay, so if that wasn't funny, I apologize, but Anna and I think it is HILARIOUS! Since you are probably getting exhausted just reading this, I just wanted to tell you that I hope you are doing and feeling better. oh, and have fun at the deb ball!

I was sorry to hear that you are having to fight this illness, but having been around your father for a few very fun years I am confident that any son of Wes Hayes will have the courage and toughness needed to beat this one.

Hey Toonie, TOONMAN, THE TOON, CREIGHTOONIE, ECT ECT:) I have been reading all of the wonderful things that people have written, for what seems like hours now!(and putting off writing my paper that is due tommorow, i hope my mom isn't reading this,haha) You are so blessed to have so many people who love and support you, and I am so lucky to have such a great cousin. We have shared so many experiences together: prom, graduation, beach trips, watching maggs, harrison and cameron grow up, ALWAYS having to sit at the little kids table at Christmas and Thanksgiving even though we are almost in our twenties! Haha, but I guess that is where we fit in anyways!! You have such an amazing heart, and I admire that about you everyday. Thanks for being such a great cousin, friend, and role model to me(after all you are like eight months older than me). I cant wait for you to meet all of my friends here and marry one of them because I tell them about you all of the time and how you will be the President of the United States one day. I know they can't wait to meet you! Especially, Ellie!haha(She will kill me for saying that) Well I GUESS I'm going to try and start my paper now! Haha! I love you toonie! Cant wait to see you very soon!:)

Creighton. I am a friend of the Carlisles, Rick and Kay and of course the boys. I saw Matt play in his last soccer game at Northwestern.
I have worked with your dad on some projects and I enjoy his perspective in Sunday School. So all of us are mindful of your temporay setback and we are anxious to see you out and doing well..which you will.
So many people, when they talk about these things, have been "challenged" with an illness or a loss. My personal story was being diagnosed with a terminal illness even as I worked at the Medical University of South Carolina in the early 1980's. My diagnoses was conclusive and terminal and confirmed with surgery. I went home to "complete the process" with my wife and two boys. That was then...23 years later I am still here and I ran the bridge run in Charleston to celebrate the recovery in 1989.
God calls these things..not man.

What makes my prayer for you special is that I am a Furman graduate(go Paladins, beat Wofford)) and a middle of the road,fiscal conservative,pro life Democrat. I am one of two left in York County. The other is Peter Perrill. We have Democratic meetings in a phone booth.
Take care...be strong..continue your faith..keep trusting in God.

I wanted you and your family to know that you are on our prayer list at Calvary Church in Charlotte, NC. Through this website you have given us a glimpse into your lives during your difficult journey. This also gives us a glimpse into our Father's sustaining power and His love. We give God the praise and the glory for the great things He is going to do in your life, Creighton. We pray for strength and for complete healing! God bless you all! Karen p.s. Oh, I almost forgot! I heard about that little "sinking in sand(oops! mud!) far from the peaceful shore....with the blue truck!!!! I don't think my brother was laughing, though.....!!

It's hard to believe that we took the Y trip almost 6 summers ago! I know that it's been a while since we've seen each other, but I was shocked when I heard your news. It is so encouraging to hear about your progress through this website and I am sure that you will continue to successfully fight this disease. We definitely need to get together once you come back to the big Sparkle City because we're only 2 blocks away since I am at Converse. I come over to Wofford pretty frequently so we'll have to meet up sometime. Stay strong and get well soon! I hope that I see you soon in Spartanburg!

I just wanted you to know that we are praying for you, too. I had a brother who had lymphoma in the late 1960's when they were not able to treat it as well as they are today. We are so grateful for the doctors and medical treatment available now and pray that the Lord will fully heal you soon. In the meantime, we pray that you will all be drawn closer to the Lord through this experience and be used as great witnesses for Him.

Hello Creighton,
My name is James Lockemy and I am a South Carolina Circuit Court Judge. As you know, your grandfather was a wise and well known circuit judge several years ago. I was in the Legislature with your father. He and I also have been in the National Guard together for years.
I am pleased to hear how well you are doing. My former law clerk was diagnosed with a similar condition while she was working with me. As you, she was very strong and fully recovered. She now works as a prosecutor in Rock Hill. Your father may have met her. I hope you do not mind if I let her know of your condition. I look forward to your recovery.
Keep strong!!!!!

An admiring friend

Hi Creighton:
Heard the good news that you are doing much better and you may be coming home soon. Got to talk with your dad this morning at the office and it was good to see a smile on his face again. I know he and Mrs. Hayes have really been worried about you as have all of us. Our phones have been ringing off the hook with people around Rock Hill and Columbia wanting to know an update on you and to let Mr. Hayes know they are praying for you. We are praying for your speedy recovery--from the girls at your dad's office (Sandy, Susan, Leila, Jamie, Carey, and Sheryl)

Hi Creighton,

I am happy to read the last update and the encouraging news about you. I have been away and just heard about you and called your dad's office. They gave this address to me. Creighton, I just want you to know what a special young man you are and that I am praying for you to get well and that God will richly bless you so you can in turn, tell others how special He is to you. Watch that nurse and your elbow - remember the basketball games when I kept telling you "watch that elbow," in church league - well just do what the nurse says and "watch that elbow." Seriously, I am praying for you and wish you God's best and a speedy recovery to full health.

Creighton,
Dude! I have been thinking about you like crazy! I actually had a
dream about you the other night. You were driving me around in your car
in the Woody's Music parking lot....bizarre.
Anwyay, I hope you are on the up-slope to a speedy recovery! With all
the postings on your website, it seems that you have so many people who
are praying for you. I realize now how important prayer can be, so
maybe I'll think about giving good ol' God a call, it's been a while
since he and I have spoken. ;).
Patrick has been thinking about you a lot too. We are keeping each
other posted and thinking of some pretty interesting things to send you
while you are "out of comission." You'll have to wait and see what we
come up with!!
School is going great for him in Pittsburgh, but I think he had a
difficult time adjusting to real winters. When I went to visit him
after first semester, it snowed and I couldn't stand it, so I don't know
how he does that every day. I can't believe he's almost done with his
freshman year.
School is going well for me too, though my computer is not working too
well. Maybe I should take a break from being an English major and stop
writing so many papers. I'll graduate this time next year and be ready
to teach English to Middle School and High School students.
I sincerely hope you are doing well and keeping your head up. We're
both (Patrick and I) thinking about you a lot. If you need anything,
let us know. I'm home from school most weekends...if you ever need
anyone to chill with. Anytime!

Prayers are being answered! What wonderful news of the positive things that happened yesterday- such a beautiful Sunday in many, many ways!! Thinking of you, I flashback to last year during the wrestling season. I watched you as you looked at your opponents with calm, focused determination in your eyes. I pray that you continue to recover using that determination and strenghth you have been blessed with by God.

It would appear that just reading through this huge list of "get well" emails is a full time job! Pace yourself!

I know you can feel all the prayers being offered on your behalf. Let me just say that on behalf of Tripp, Lane, Julie Johnson, our prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. Your parents are are in our prayers as well.

You have plenty of reading to do, so we'll just close by saying that we're all looking forward to monitoring your quick and complete recovery and to getting back to being a regular college student again! God bless you and your family,

Hi Creighton,
We're fellow members at WPC who you've never met. But we wanted you to know we're thinking of you and praying for you. We have a lot of experience at CMC--our 9 yr old daughter Jenna was diagnosed with cancer(brain tumor) last year and spent a lot of time there. She is living proof of the power of prayer.
Since we spent so much time at the hospital, we know how bad the food really is. Here's one of our insider tips: you can order takeout from Outback on East Blvd and have someone walk and pick it up! It was much better than hospital food.
Please know you and your family will remain in our prayers.
God Bless,
The Witherspoon Family

Creighton- I'm glad to hear that things have been going well with the tests and procedures. I haven't seen you in forever and I hate that hearing your name for the first time in a while had to be under these circumstances. But I am absolutely confident that you will pull through and get back to 100%. If you or your family need anything at all, don't hesitate to pick up the phone. We will all be praying for you daily and nightly. I'm sure you'll have no problem with it, but if you get too overwhelmed with these "hot nurses" that I'm hearing about, get in touch and I'll see if I can come up and take some off your hands. Good luck and God Bless!

Hey Creighton, I was so glad to get a positive update today from your Aunt Katherine! If you don't remember me, I am your Uncle Ronnie's Big Sister, Debra and a long time family friend too. Of course, me and my family have been keeping up with everything that's going on through Ronnie, and you all have been in our prayers constantly, even in my dreams(for real!) Robert, my hubby and I were at Fripp this past weekend with some friends, and last night I walked out to the beach to look up into the heavens, full of beautiful stars, and sent up a very special prayer for you. I even picked out the brightest star for YOU!
Hang in there! I know you have a tough road a head of you and your family, and remember " I can do all things in Christ who Strengthens Me". I truly believe there is a very SPECIAL ANGEL watching over you and millions of prayers are going out for you. Through an enormous "grapevine", you and your family are being placed on millions of Prayer Lists.
You and Your family are very special to us and we consider all of you part of "Our Family" too! We'll keep in touch and if it's allowed and ok with you, we'd love to visit you. God Bless and lots of Love, Debra(Hargett)and Robert Deas & family

His name is David White, and he has created a website for cancer patients and their families. I only found out about it the end of last week and have briefly looked at it.The address is www.cancertips.org in case you're interested.I know he and/or his mom would be happy to talk to ya'll if you want to. Sherry Anne and I both saved the Greenville Journal with the article. I saw Charlotte's note about Jack's email pictures and when I checked my email just now, there was one.

It was obvious you've been through so much yet you were as sweet and charming as ever. It was helpful to us to see you as we came to encourage you and we left the hospital feeling encouraged by you. I am terribly proud of you. I even think Nurse Ratchett left the hospital feeling a little better after her "visit" with you! I love you lots and lots and then more than that. Obviously a lot of other people do too! Always, Aunt Katherine

Dr. Cranford sent an e-mail saying your mom had left a message at 9:50 saying you were talking and sitting up. That would have been about the time we were praying!! God is so good. Then we went to worship and the anthem today was "A Promise for Strength". It is taken from the text of Isaiah 40:31. I just thought of the Hayes Family. Please tell your Aunt Margaret that I love her commentary! We will continue to pray for your complete recovery. Love, The Darbys

Dear Sally & Wes, Creighton and family
I'm sorry to hear about your illness, especially as a mom-we hurt more for our kids than for ourselves. When I needed an oncologist for my mother-in-law, I was told that Dr. Frenette was the best in Charlotte. Please know that you are in good hands. Also, always remember that God knows exactly how many hairs are on each of our heads and made different fingerprints for each of us and CARES DEEPLY about every detail in our lives. You are never alone, no matter how dark things appear. You have so many prayers on your behalf, I know God will listen and bring you through this "hitch in the road". We will keep you all in our prayers. Much love, The Paterson family (Dan, Shawn,& Amanda)

Hi Creighton,
I just got the news and Erin told me about this website; what a wonderful idea. It was uplifting for me just reading the tremendous words of encouragement sent to you by your many friends. It must make you feel even a little better knowing so many people are praying and pulling for your speedy recovery. I just read a great book; you must get your Dad to pick it up for you. It is by Lance Armstrong, �It�s not about the Bike�. It is an inspiring and real story about a man, not just the Tour De France 5 time winner. He and you will beat this, that I am sure of. Just please also know Edith, Erin, Ric and I are also praying hard and pulling for that strong take-down your going to do on this!

Hi Creighton! I'm glad to hear that your tube is out and you will be moved to a private room! I spoke to a friend of yours at Wofford (THomas from Sumter??) I'm friends with his girlfriend Kristen here at CofC. I told him to tell ppl to take notes for you, so hopefully you won't be too behind in your classes. Anyway, I'm thinking about you!!

PS. If you get bored have jack send you some pics from his Camera phone. Those are always interesting!

Creighton,

The latest news on your web site is very encouraging. Prayers are being answered, and please know that you will continue to be in my daily prayers. When you wrestled in high school, I saw your "toughness" and "determination." Use those skills now as you tackle this challenge. I look forward to seeing you soon.

Hey Creighton, I spoke to Margaret the other day, then I e-mailed Beau. I had just hit "send" and he immediately called me on the phone. He was so concerned, and I didn't have many details at that time. I want you to know that I have always thought so much of you, and that anytime Beau was hanging out with you that I never worried. You are a wonderful person, but how could you not with parents like your Mom and Dad. I have complete and utmost faith that you will beat this, that you are young and strong, and have so many people praying for you. From our family to yours, we think about you and pray for you continually throughout each day. Love, Kim,Billy, Beau, Michael, Bradley, and Clayton Gladden

Creighton,
It is Sunday morning and you know what that means...time to get up and go to church. I suppose you have a really good excuse today so we will bring the lesson to you.
Romans 8:14-17
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out," Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together."
Remember that your difficult current suffering cannot compare with the glory we can know. We are praying diligently for you.

As soon as I heard the news my thoughts drifted back to Richmond Drive and all the trouble we used to get into.... aaah, the good 'ol days!!! You are one of the bravest, strongest, and most compassionate people I know, and your optimism is going to help you get through this mess with flying colors. Know that my family and I and many, many students here at Columbia College are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. We are here if you need ANYTHING.

I will continue praying for your strength to overcome this illness and your faith that God has a reason for everything that happens to us even though most of the time we can not comprehend why He allows the things He does. I also just wanted to let you know how much i admire your attitude toward others, especially those younger than yourself. I have always admired how you befreinded me and treated me no dfferent than those of your own age, like how you invited me to come play golf with you at waterford. I regret that i never could make time to get out there and take you up on it. Once again thanks for being such a positive role model and i'll contiue to pray for your speedy recovery and look forward to seeing you back home!

Hey Creighton, I'm leaving monday on a mission trip to Mexico with my church. I'll be sure to bring you up during our morning devotionals in Mexico so that you can benefit from the fervent prayers of God's children working the harvest, James 5:16. As a soldier in the Army, I've always liked 2Timothy 2:3, Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good Soldier of Jesus Christ. Just always remember Creighton, God loves you and with Him we have no fears Psalms 18:28 and Psalms 28:7. You have my prayers with Love in Christ.

When your dad was a Battalion Commander at West Point, I had the honor of serving as his Adjutant. He was a great server of others then and has continued to serve others throughout his adult life. With that in mind, I'm sure he and your mom already provide all the support you'll ever need! However, just in case you or your parents need an extra boost to strengthen you, I am joining your other friends to lift you and your family in prayer. I wish you the best as you recover.

Creighton, God uses us all in any way we allow Him. Because this cancer was found and is being treated,
you have a chance to meet and reach people for Jesus that you would never have met otherwise...this must be how God can use all things (even this present situation in your health) for the good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose. Our cancer support group at First Baptist Church is called " Elephant Dancers" because when you hear you have cancer, its like being told you have to dance with a huge elephant - one mis-step and he could squash you...so you talk to others who have danced and survived...learn from them. Like "Mic" in an earlier e-mail who went through your dance and survived in an outstanding way...you will make it! You may have to write a book about this later! God is pleased to see so many praying for you. Your ex-neighbors from your childhood are praying for you and for your caring family, too. Sue and Wayne Lewis

Last night, Charlie Wade and I prayed for you and for the Doctors and Nurses treating you. Wow, just look at all of the people praying for you and pulling for your complete recovery. I imagine that you can feel the prayers. You will overcome this, but it won't be easy. Time to draw on the lessons you've learned from scouting, sports, Sunday School, your parents, etc.

Creighton,
I am a classmate of your magnificent Dad, Wes. I just got the word of your temporary condition and, like others, will put into motion the most powerful, often misunderstood, action -- prayer. My prayers along with the countless others will result in your most speedy recovery. Your condition will continue to improve and you will end up being another example of the temporal nature of sickness and disease. So my friend Creighton, I will do my part to pray for you and to thank God that he has returned you to the healthy state that everyone knew a short time ago. We all are on the verge of seeing God's work and it is good. God Bless you Creigton and thank you for helping us all witness the true nature of what us mortals really are -- children of God who reflect Him in not some things, but everything. Soon, very soon, we will reflect on this and will be able to cite you as an example of God's Love as this temporary and unreal condition completely disappears. Our prayers are with you and congratulations on your quick recovery to who you really are -- a totally healthy child of God.

Was hoping you would pick UVA for college then we could see you and your family more often. Mom asked me to tell you that you once gave her a prescription to take 1 "ty-la-lol" and 2 jelly beans and call in the morning. I'm sure your Mom and Dad will remember what we are talking about.

Woody and I admire your courage and know that you will get stonger every day. Elliott doesn't know this news but we are calling him tonight.

I have known your father for over thirty years. You obviously have good blood in you.

They want to come see you and to be able to do something to help as all of us do. For now the best thing we can do is to keep praying for you to just get well and for your mom and dad to get some rest which will be hard for them for awhile. We love you all and just know we are always here for you. Your Aunt Margaret really is doing a good job. Love, Donna Givens

You are well loved. Your friends and family here on earth testify to that in this journal and in their prayers. Your Father in heaven testified to that 2,000 years ago in Christ's Death and Resurrection. Fear not. Be strong. You have everything it takes to defeat this illness. And you will be borne up with wings as an eagle and live for a long time to come. You are not alone -- no matter what it may seem in the dark of night. You will never be alone.

Your Dad has meant a lot to me and others who have known him. An officer and a gentleman. And the fruit does not fall far from the tree.

God bless you all. May blessings and joy be yours now and forever.

Hey Creighton,
I'm a senior at Northwestern - it's only my second year in Rock Hill, but I met you a couple of times at Westminister through Lauren Bowers and Brittany Smith. I also baby-sat a few times for the Roehls - I live in their neighborhood. I really don't even know that many people in this town, but I can tell that you are loved overwhelmingly by everyone! I know that everyone is praying for you and your family, and I thought maybe one more prayer could help. The reason I am writing is to maybe offer you a little bit of encouragement - as if everyone else hasn't done that yet! I wanted to let you know that my younger brother, Mic, who's a sophomore at Northwestern was diagnosed with ALL when he was younger. He was given the exact same treatment that you are undergoing and he came out on top, stronger than ever! The doctors said that leukemia stunts growth, but he is almost 6'4" and over 200 pounds! He proved so many facts of this disease wrong, and I know you will, too. Especially with all these friends you have! Okay, I know this is long, but I just thought that it might help to hear from someone who has had a family member go through the same thing. I know that you are in great hands...good luck with your recovery!

Creighton Hayes! or should we say Master Tooter! haha we had to say it and dont deny it. We know you are just trying to get attention and you've got it! We already miss your special ramen recipe and those tasty cheese platters. Here's a little something to help you get better... think of senior year, james taylor, "late night study sessions" with calls to Mrs. Hamric, chester (wink wink), movie nights at your house, "you crazy yo!", smacking sounds, One Stop, breaking benches, "why the south won the civil war" haha, peach bowl in ATL, can we say it again...MASTER TOOTER, "sorry but you are horrible at public speaking", cocktail night at Wofford, spring break '04, Charleston and FOORREEVVVEEERR, and how much we freaking LOVE YOU and always have fun together. So get up out of that bed soon because summer is coming and so many more memories lay ahead. (and so many more embarrassing moments to laugh about)We can't wait to see you, we will be coming to visit you soon. We are praying for you here at Clemson!

With Highest Regard,

We do not know you personally, but we used to live in the same neighborhood as your family. When I was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 1/2 years ago, your mother was so sweet to bring us a treat to show your family's support. I just want you to know that we will be thinking of you and praying that all will go well and that you will be all well again.

Hey Buddy
I trust by the time you receive and read this you'll be doing just fine. In my toughest hours I've always been able to pull on Jesus through his Word...his promises. Reading and believing Proverbs 3:5 has worked for me and I know it will work for you. I believe through the triump over this attack on your body, you Creighton will bring our God his undue Glory. I'm not a quitter, never was, so I'll be praying and pulling for ya. You are winner, an overcomer, a beloved child of God and my Bud. Be encouraged and stay encouraged. I'll speak with you soon.

Hello Creighton, I just wanted to write you a short note to let you know that God loves you and that he sent Jesus Christ not only to die for your sins but also to take away our sickness and disease. Isaiah 53:4-5, Psalm 107:20; Galatians 3:13. There is no sickness or disease that God has not already healed us of through Jesus Christ. So when you get some time please read these scriptures. I will write another note later.

But I know that you are strong and will be able to get rid fo that cancer. I am glad that you are my cousin and I like to play games with you. Most teenagers probably wouldnt want to be as nice to me as you are. i am very lucky to have you for a cousin and I wanted to tell you that. When you get home I am going to see if my mom will let me bring our x-box over and we can play video games together. Get well soon-your cousin, Harrison

Dear Creighton, Senator and Mrs. Hayes,
I was very saddened as I just learned today of Creighton's diagnosis, but my spirit was lifted when I read the positive update on the website. I am prayerful he will make a complete recovery.
There is great power in prayer, and God does hear our prayers and does answer our prayers. Remain strong in your faith and know that He will restore your health.
"For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds" (Jer.30:17) God is faithful - He is our healer, He is our leader, He is our strength and restorer - God is Almighty. Creighton, you will be in my prayers as I ask God to continue to place His hand of protection and healing on you and to give you and your family strength as you go THROUGH this experience. God will carry you THROUGH this.
Senator Hayes, if there is anything I can do to help you and your family, please let me know.

Creighton, It's David Vining from Camp Greystone! If I'm not mistaken, was it you that wore that UVA hat instead of a Clemson hat? Perhaps my memory is a little bit off. Anyway, I was disappointed when you didn't come back to camp, and I have also missed Margaret Mellon (isn't that her middle name?). Anyway, I was sad to hear that you are not your normal studly 100%, and I want you to know that I just prayed for you and plan to do so more. I know that you are a champion, and we need champions like yourself to get better soon. Hang in there, keep fighting, and transfer to Clemson when you are 100% well.-David Vining

The IB "network" has really been buzzing as we have all tried to find out about your condition and be sure that everyone knows. People are coming out of the woodwork wondering about you!! You are special to so many here at Northwestern, and I am certainly one of them. It seems like yesterday you were all on my back porch as we reviewed for the oral commentaries!! Sometimes the most important things we learn in school have nothing to do with academics, and I am sure the same strong character and self-discipline that you came to us with and that you strengthened by following through with lots of rough IB assignments and novels will also get you through this.
I am praying that angels will surround you and protect you.
Love,

I have not met you, but you graduated with my daughter, Maggie Burton. Maggie told me about your troubles. I have asked the Prayer Warriors, a group of teachers who work for Rock Hill School District, to pray for you.
Keep you spirits up and know that many people are praying for you and care about you.

Hi Creighten! Just wanted to send our best wishes and to let you know we are thinking of you! Hard to believe that little boy I had at Richmond Drive is in college! You were a precious, spirited, loving, and strong kid at RDr...so, you will have much to fight this current battle with. You are in a wonderful hospital. A teaching hospital can offer so much. We were pleased with the quality care our daughter Jessica had and feel lucky to have been there. We will keep up with your progress and keep you and your family in our prayers. The teachers and staff at Richmond Drive are thinking of you,too. "Mrs. Doctor" Hayes

Hey Creighton!!!! These past few days have been such a blur. I want you to know how terribly proud I am of you. Tuesday before the surgery you were so handsome and brave! It's been 3 1/2 days and you've been through a lot. An incredible amount of people have shown a TREMENDOUS outpouring of love and concern for you. Uncle Ronnie and I hang up the phone and have 5 messages waiting...then we repeat the cycle! I'm having a blast with Baby Margaret. She and Wesley love you so much. Laurens and Anna Katherine have about worn out my cell phone checking on you.
Know how much I love you.....am praying for you.....keeping you in my heart (it's a little heavy now) at all times.

Creighton! Jiminy crickets dude! Just when I thought I had you and Blake out of my hair this has to happen---! You are going to have to hurry up and get well Cruuuton, Blake is driving us nuts calling us everyday, twice a day, trying to find out how you,re doing. I know this is not what you had planned old buddy, but we are all going to help you through it. The Tinsleys have been praying for you every day since we heard and will continue to do so. Normally we save the star at Christmas time to hang in our tree because we feel it represents hope and the promise of what God did for all of us through His son. We're going to hang that star starting today for a new reason of hope and confidence and that's for you to recover and come home soon to all of us. We love you, Drenner, Marsha, Blake, & MIles. PS As soon as Blake heard what was going on, he rushed over to The Summerall Chapel and had a word of prayer for you. He has been greatly affected by this Creighton and is anxious for his buddy to get well.

Hello, Creighton. We have all been concerned about you and are praying for you. Laura Anne and Elizabeth call every day to check on you and keep their friends informed. You have people all over the world praying for you.

Your website should be interesting, with your Aunt Margaret in charge. Does this make you a little bit nervous? If she becomes famous you can publish it and become rich! I look forward to seeing what she writes every day.

So many people are concerned about you and your family. We will all continue to pray for you as you recover.
