Dear Jackie and kids,

I just received an update from my CCL magazine on Bill. I was so sad to hear about his passing. You are a wonderful family. You are so centered and I know that you love our Lord with all your hearts. I know Bill was so fortunate to have you, his sweet family, by his side during all of this. What a blessing to him!! You can tell by your journal entries how loving of a husband he was. I know you must all miss him terribly. It was so nice reading your entries and seeing Jesus being glorified in all of them. You can truly tell that you are a family of God. May God continue to give you peace, hope and strength.

Love, Kealey Bullinger

PS) Please let Marielle know that I have always loved that name and plan on naming our next daughter that too!!

Jackie-

I love your writings! You make me laugh, you make me cry, but always there is wisdom. Your postings are truly a gift to all of us. Thank you for continuing them.

I was also pleased to see that you will be working on the Vodnany Church at Broom Tree. My husband, Todd has been the general contractor on the Broom Tree projects and it is very dear to our hearts. It is a special place and I believe there is a good reason God is calling you there.

I'll leave you with a favorite quote of mine from Dietrich Bonhoeffer...

"Nothing can make up for the absence of someone whom we love, and it would be wrong to try to find a substitute; we must simply hold out and see it through. That sounds very hard at first, but at the same time it is a great consolation, for the gap, a long as it remains unfilled, preserves the bonds between us. It is nonsense to say that God fills the gap; God does not fill it, but on the contrary, God keeps it empty and so helps us keep alive our former communion with each other, even at the cost of pain....The dearer and richer our memories, the more difficult the separation. But gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy. The beauties of the past are borne, not as a thorn in the flesh, but as a precious gift in themselves..."

Dear Logue family,
Sorry about the mix-up in my entry the other day. As I found an old picture of HopeAnn in school, I had so many wonderful memories of her. I realize now that I meant to say I can't wait for the appearance of Madeleine's book. I knew it was Madeleine who had the book deal but in my sadness, I made a mistake. Both HopeAnn and Madeleine hold a special spot in my heart. Please wish both girls my deepest sympathies and let them know I am thinking of them.

Dear Jackie and kids,
My dearest sympathies for you and your family. May you find comfort in the joys of all the many wonderful memories with Bill. I am saddened that Bill's journey on Earth is over but know that his suffering is gone. Now he may watch over his family from Heaven and continually smile! I know you hear this often, but your family has been an inspiration to me. I am a better person after meeting you, Bill, and your beautiful family. You continue to encourage me to keep my faith no matter what. As I was cleaning over the holidays, I came across some pictures of when I had HopeAnn in 2nd grade. I always loved her beautiful smile and kind heart! I think of her often and wondering how she is doing. I can not wait until her book is published. Keep me posted as I would love to buy a copy! She has always had a talent for expressing her words in a marvelous way! I will continue to pray for you. May God comfort you! Nichole Caylor

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
It has been your amazing grace for the past two years that has held you and your family together. I have never had the honor to meet your or Bill or the children but I have had the honor of laughing, crying and celebrating Bill's life with his Uncles' John, Dick and Jim and his sister Joan Marie last Saturday at my niece Angela's wedding. As many of the people have said over and over again, your strength and unwavering faith have had an impact on so many…I am just one of those many. You and all the Logue’s are in my thoughts and prayers. You have amazing grace and dignity and are a true inspiration.
I was lost but now I am found, thank you so much for showing me the way back.

Dear Jackie -

You do not know me but, as with many others, I have been following your family's journey through your journal and finding such inspiration in your faith and strength.

Whenever I read your entries, I am reminded of a quote from a book (Seeking God's Will, Rev. Philip Schuster, 2002)...

"Holiness does not consist in our doing great things for God, but rather in surrender, this abandonment of our mind, heart and will to be one with His....The conclusion for us is that really the great things that we will do in our life - if indeed we do some great things - will be the little things that are done to us, things we are asked to bear, things not of our own choosing, things we would rather avoid, but which we bear patiently and lovingly, and with deep faith in God's guiding hand..."

You have indeed surrendered your will to be one with His, and in doing so while sharing with us here you have furthered God's kingdom.

God does indeed make all things work for the good of those who serve Him.

My prayers will continue for you to feel the strength of His love.

Dear Jackie and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I have been checking your website since I had Hopeanne in my class. In this way I could witness Bill's struggle with cancer. Your family has blessed me with a wonderful year of having Hopeanne in my life and also giving me hope for all of us by reminding me of the strength and comfort God gives us. Take care of yourselves, you are very loved. Robin Stahl

Much Love,

Jackie, Michele Hutchmeier forwarded this to me. You & your entire family are in my thoughts & prayers. I'm so sorry for your loss. Even tho' I did not have the opportunity to meet Bill, Michele shared he was an incredible husband & father to you & your kids. I wish I could have attended our 20th reunion. Michele had also shared that you & Bill had attended. She also wrote your love story & how the two of you reconnected at a wedding dance. She wrote that you had joy ever since! You are an inspiration to us all. I have thought of you often over these years and loved seeing your picture on this website. You haven't changed one bit! You still have a beautiful smile. I did attend our 10 yr reunion and was sorry to see that you weren't able to go. My family & I plan on making a trip up to Yankton this summer. I would love to see you. I will be praying for you. God bless you!!

Jackie & the entire Logue family: I was so saddened to hear of Bill's passing, but know that he is with his Heavenly Father and is finally at peace. Thank you Jackie for all of the work you did with the journal, as it kept so many people informed of Bill's progress over the last couple of years. Everytime I read the journal I would pray for Bill, you and the kids. It just breaks my heart knowing that you have lost the love of our life, much too early. I can't even imagine (and I've only been married 11 years!). I will always remember the high school Bill (those few times when the Warriors played the Tornadoes). May God wrap his arms around all of you at this very difficult time in your lives.

Dear Jackie, Over a year ago you and Bill came to our team meeting to explain Bill's condition to us, and to explain what a difficult year you anticipated for your children. I sat in the corner of the room with tears running down my face- I was in such awe of your strength and faith. Today I cry with you again and celebrate the only comfort in life and death- Jesus our savior. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Please tell Hannah she remains in my thoughts and prayers- as do you all. Sincerely, Karen Thaler

I have been following your journey since the article in Family Foundations and keeping you close in prayer. I am so saddened to hear of your loss, but overjoyed that Bill is home with his Father. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

"Do not look forward to what might happen tomorrow; the same everlasting Father who cares for you today, will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings."

Jackie & Family....there has never been a braver man encircling a braver family. You have all been such an inspiration to all whose lives you've touched. We've all been blessed to witness such a love in a marriage and in a family!

When we were in Brookings for the "3 Wishes" last year, we thought our days with Bill were short. We were granted 365 more than we thought we had then!

We wish that this illness would be somthing that we would talk about with Bill when we were all old and grey, but it just didn't happen that way. Jesus had a greater plan for this great man. Bill is finally at peace resting with Jesus.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers...we love you!!

Blessed be God, in His angels and in His saints! He is ever merciful, ever mysterious, and as always, ever loving.

You are so close to my heart today and always. Today's Mass (on the feast of the Holy Family) is being offered up for you & Bill. May Our Blessed Mother, dearest Lady of Sorrows that she is, be your comfort and your strength. I am certain that her beautiful face was one of the first that Bill saw upon his passing from this world into the eternal one.

In Him, with much love & many blessings,

I trust God to give you the strength you need for the things that are ahead. And in the midst of mourning may you hold close the special memories you will always cherish and find comfort in knowing that God has wrapped Bill in His arms and blessed him. I wish I could give you and the kids a hug but even better, I encircle you all in my prayers. May you know strength and peace as the Lord carries you through these days. Always, Deb

Hi, Bill, Jackie, and kids,
This is the first time we've tried writing you a message, but we do think about you often and pray for you daily. Last night when I was alone at our new house stripping wallpaper, I felt the need to say a special Hail Mary for Bill. Luke says, "Hope you get well soon, Bill, and hope everyone at your house stays well." After Christmas, my family all got sick with a quick bug. I'll send out our family picture/Christmas card probably by Valentine's Day!
Love you all-Paul, Karla, Luke, Anthony, and Marie Carr

The love you all have for each other shines forth like a glowing ray of sunshine! Guess it must be the silver lining shining from the middle of your clouds! Your strength and support you have for each other as a family sends forth a tremendous message to all of us. Our prayers are always with you for God's grace to carry you through. I can't help but think of the words to a song "He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater...
to multiplied sorrows, His multiplied peace." I think the angels have adapted this as your song! We love you all and pray without ceasing. As always, Deb

I eagerly check your site as much as my shedual allows me to. College has been tremendously full of blessings, and God is continuously making me aware that blessings come in all kinds of packages. Particularly the kinds called suffering. Your family has been instrumental to me in first opening my eyes to that! I'm eternally blessed and grateful that God allowed our lives to be intertwined for nine months!
Merry Christmas...there's still eitht more days left
Say "hi" to everyone and give them hugs for me.

Thank you for posting the new picture so we can picture you both clearly and pray---I can't imagine how difficult this situation is, and the most amazing thing is how you continue to lift the hundreds of people up checking this website.

I thought about you all day yesterday, Bill. I hope you didn't party too hard! Jerry tells me he's jealous that he didn't get a cool Air Force shirt like you got this week and I told him that Santa only comes to good boys and girls. He'll have to try again next year. ;)

It was so good to see you, Jackie and the kids! We had a wonderful time at your house. We just took the kids to see Charlotte's Web last night and Caleb said, "It's just like our cousin's house!!" Then Michael added, "Yeah, but all the animals are invisible in their barn!" I think he really liked the idea of invisible animals. You're so lucky!

Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas. Peace be with you all.

Dear Jackie,
We have never met, but because of Anne Rybak, I feel as if I know you well. When Anne came to live with us, about two years ago, she always prayed for your family during our evening prayer time. Even after Anne left, there hasn't been a night in which Bill was not in our intentions. We all rejoiced when the tumor was stable, and we are so sad to hear of his decline. (I had not checked this site for a few monthes, so only learned of his condition last night.) We went to daily mass this morning to pray for all of you and my 10 year old, Nathan, has decided that he will lead all of us in the Divine Mercy chaplet at 3:00pm everyday for Bill. And he will!
May the love and prayers of those who know you, combined with those of us who don't, sustain you. Be not afraid!

I feel a kinship with you, even though we met so briefly. I sensed a friendship there that I truly treasure and I understand so well why Deb cares so much for you. I just wanted you to know that you and Bill are in my prayers daily and I know God has you both in His care. Thank you for being Deb's friend. I also think of you as my friend.

It is such an emotional ride this roller coaster of life. We struggle as best we can with the trials, we hold on to the beautiful joys. Thanks be to God for both. For without the trials the joys can not be nearly so joyous. We will hold you all in our prayers in this struggle. May the Holy Family give each of you exactly what you need, when you need it.

Hi Logues, especially Hope and Hannah,
We here at the Mickelson Middle School speak of you often and love and care about you, each in his/her own way. I speak for us all when I say how much we have always admired you as a family, showing the rest of us what truly resting in the palm of God's hand is. Bill is a hero to the whole community. The beautiful analogy of birth pains and death's door struggle pictures your present time and relationship with the Lord in a way that we can relate to and again, admire you for your perceptiveness in the midst of harsh reality. Lean back and rest in the love and protectiveness of the palm of God's hand. He will carry you through. God bless. Love and prayers.

Hi Hope Ann and Hannah,

It's your music teacher, Mrs. G. from MMS. I am very choked with emotion as I have just read your mom's web page. 2004 was a brain tumor year; that's the year my husband had surgery in March, and 5 subsequent surgeries finally resulting in removal of most of his skull in October of that year. While his tumors are benign, he still has 6 more in his brain (he has battled them since 1974), and each surgery takes more of a toll.

Still, God has blessed us in many ways. He allowed Don to continue working while we raised 6 lovely children, one of whom we adopted and two who were born after his first surgery in 1974.

The 2004 surgery finally forced him into retirement though. Your family has been through much more than we have; my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I love you all so much. Your pregnancy analogy really hits home to me today as my niece just gave birth to triplets yesterday. As she looked ahead to their birth, she wrote a blog called "Triple Blessings". I'm thinking of your analogy and just know that God has "triple blessings" in store for Bill as well as soon as he gets through this time of pain. The Trinity holds those "triple blessings" for him and is awaiting Bill's coming into the arms of the Father. May He help you through all that each day holds until then. My prayers and love are with you EVERY day!!!

It was great to visit with him, we are always so busy on Guard Drills that there is not much time to catch up. Our Unit has been blessed with your service and his. Keep the Faith, hopefully God will answer our Prayers for you very soon. May God Bless You and our deployed Brothers and Sisters that are in Harm's way.

Bill, Jackie, and family,

I was so sorry to read about Bill's health. I have been so busy for the last couple of months, I haven't even been reading your journal--until tonight.

We just returned from the Rome pilgrimage with Fr. Mike. It was a wonderful trip, with only a few snafus due to trying to communicate with 41 people. Probably the high point for me was touring the Scavi and hearing the story of how St. Peter's bones were found. There was so much beauty in all the churches we visited. And, with everything being so old there, I decided nothing in this country is old at all.

We did get to the Papal audience and St. Thomas More was announced as Pope Benedict XVI waved to us--like we were old friends. I took lots of pictures--about 19 rolls--but need to write down what they are before I forget.

We are gearing up for the next set of Cursillo weekends at Broom Tree. The men's is Oct. 26-29 and the women's is Nov. 2-5. We are praying for candidates--especially men. Please keep the weekends in your prayers.

Here is what I have for Stella's e-mail if you haven't gotten it yet: ovaltine94@verizon.net

It was good to hear the kids are getting involved in their new school. We will keep all of you in our prayers. I am always inspired by your faith. May God bless you with the peace only He can give.

Love,
Ronda

Hi Bill, I was at the farm over the weekend and Diane and I started thinking about all the things we did as kids at your parents house and grandma's. Remember the silver Christmas tree? Or the horse you guys had! I always had exciting adventures when I stayed with Joan, who knew boys could play that hard? Must be why God gave me two girls!!and several 4 year old boys to teach with the twinkle in their eyes! It was great seeing you and your family.Have a great weekend! Love, Julie

We will be praying for you and offering up our struggles for your present cross. Thank you for letting us know how Bill is doing. Louis, especially, wants to send many prayers your way. Veronica is praying for your children. She said it has been so hard for her since Brad died and she wants to pray for the children. She realizes all these ups and downs can take a toll. Our Lord has all things in His Precious Hands. His desire is our sanctity. I know I don't have to tell you that. Your strength and trust in Our Lord is a great encouragement to us all. Much Peace and Joy, Victoria

Love to you all. Words cannot express the feelings of my heart. I need to be there with a hug to truly "say" waht I want to. Please know I'm "praying without ceasing" for whatever God has planned and the days He has to give you yet to share. Bill - may you feel the Lord's awesome strength and assurance filling you and know we love you. All I can think of to say is to share the memory of a time I spent in your home. When I got ready to leave after a wonderful chat with you, Jackie, Marielle came to me and said "Can I bless you?" As that darling girl made the sign of the cross on my forehead, I felt uplifted beyond words. I'll never forget that day. So now with that thought in mind, I simply say "Bless you" all and pray you will be at peace. My heart and prayers are with you. Love always, Deb

Hi all! I had the most beautiful dream last night re-living the Three Wishes Carnival/Concert, which drove me to check in on how everything is going for your family. I have to admit that I was taken a bit off guard as I've been living on the hope that no news is good news. Please know that all my love and prayers are being sent to you and I will spread the word on to others who will join in with me in hoping for yet another miracle sent your way.

May the strength of our Father help you all and make you cherish the days you have together!

Jackie...be sure to take care of yourself. I know you are an amazing woman, but even Wonder Woman needs to take a breather once and awhile.

Please be sure to say hi to Jacob for me! I miss seeing his smiling face around town!

Love to all....Kim

Bill, Jackie & all,
I check for new entries every day & worry when there is nothing new, but then I realize how buzy you must all be settling into the new schoolyear & all. Now, a new entry, and so much new to pray for. Bill, we've all been blessed to have you as long as we have, but I'm the 1st to admit that I am selfish and not ready for you to go. Your strength through this all has been absolutely amazing. There are no other words. The strength and love shown by Jackie, the kids, everyone around you are something which we all can only admire and learn from.

This test came at at time when you don't need to be on the mower as much anymore, you can just rest and be well by spring for the new mowing season.

We'll all be praying for healing strength for you and all around you. We'll be praying for that ray of sunshine to come down and bring something glorious once again.

We love you all so much & hope for peace for you all each day.

Dear Bill & Jackie,
You don't know me but I feel like I know you. Bill, I know your mom from Wakonda. I use to teach in Wakonda and got to know your mom when she came to school to sub. She did quite a bit of subbing. Jackie, your sister Kelley is our secretary here at Lincoln Elementary in Yankton where I am now.
I wish that I had wonderful words of wisdom for you...I don't but please know that you and your family are in my prayers. The Hospice worker was wise. None of us want Bill to go now (and I pray that it is not his time now) but she is right...we see but a glimpse right now of heaven. God promises that it is more wonderful than anything that we can know right now. May God truly bless you with his love, kindness, and strength...an unending sense of His presence & love. I pray that He will just wrap His arms around you in His love and strength. With love and prayers, Karen Baker, Yankton, SD.

Please know that we are thinking about you guys and praying constantly for you all. Jackie, get some rest! I know you must be exhausted. Bill, we love you and your entire family. Your Grandma Catherine would simply say, "Take it easy, Grandson." I know, because those were her last words to your uncle Rodney. Take care.....

Richfield, MN - Wednesday, October 4, 2006 8:50 AM CDT

I don't feel I can even put into words how your love for each other and your faith in GOD has inspired me. Your entries in this journal "kick me in the gut" sometimes. I can only put my head down and ask for God's forgiveness of my selfishness of living a "worldly" life and not a "Godly" life. I call myself a Christian, but I don't attend church regularly, and my 3 children are suffering from it. My marriage suffers, my life suffers. All because I try to handle my burdens on my own and I don’t make time to allow God in my life. Granted I have faith, but I don't practice it 100%. I can complain a blue streak as my time is eaten up by my worries. It keeps me from enjoying and living life to the fullest and without regret. You, however, thank God for everything, place him first, lift up your burdens to Him. In return, you and your family are surrounded by the Light of Jesus and minister to all our souls. Your entries in this journal are profound. Your continual strength, love, and devotion for Bill, your family, and above all God has and will continue to bring people to know the Savior of the World. This is my prayer: God, I want to Thank-YOU for putting the Logue’s in my life, even if by long distance. Their trials in this life were not wanted or anticipated. Despite this, they continue to give You thanksgiving. They place their faith in You and the promise of Eternal Life. Their daily example of joy and peace are proof of the gifts you provide for those who live by your word. Continue to Bless and Enrich this family and thank You for allowing us to be apart of their journey so that we may experience and yearn a closer relationship to YOU.

Bill and Jackie,
It's been a long time since we've talked or I've left a message but I wanted you to know that you are still in my thoughts and prayers. I caught up with your journaling and was very encouraged by Bill's progress. I'm sure this recent MRI is only a temporary setback. God's blessings on your new home! My son, Alex, passed away in May and although I miss him more than words can say, I continue to thank God for the 23 years he was with us. People beat this crazy disease every day - I know Bill can do it! Hang in there and know that you all will forever be in my prayers.

Hello, Logue family! Can't believe it's been over half a year since I visited. Are the girls still scrapbooking? :D

I was saddened by your news that the tumor had grown but remain hopeful in God's plan for all of us. This life is a journey--what will we take with us? There is a lot of cancer in my life right now--both my cousin & friend are going through chemotherapy and the rest of us are helping out as best we can. Their names are Suzette & Tina; please keep them in your prayers, as you remain in ours.

Love & Blessings,

Margaret Berns & Family

PS. Let's end on a funny note. My 3-year-old Avila was lobbying for a sip of my Diet Coke. I'll have to admit, I had doctored it up with a shot of real vanilla and it was pretty darn tasty. Still, I'm fairly adamant about not giving diet drinks to the little ones.

Her sweet smile & pleading won me over. When I finally gave in and gave her a sip she proclaimed, "Oh, Momma! This IS good for little girls!"

She is always good for a laugh, my Avila.

Quarryville, PA - Friday, July 28, 2006 11:37 AM CDT

Bill, Jackie, and children,

Tommorrow marks 1 year and 6 months since Brad's death. We will ask for special graces of healing for Bill and your family tommorrow. Our Lord continues to hold you and protect you during this new trial. It is obvious I don't need to remind you all of this. Today the Gospel reminded us that to those who have much more will be given and to those who have none all that they have will be taken away. The meditation we read spoke about our spiritual gifts. Father wrote that the more we allow the grace Christ sends us to increase our faith, hope, and love the more grace we are given. Thank you for your heroic and tangible example of this to us. Sending you much love and many prayers, Victoria and the children

Dear family,

The program three wishes started to air in the Netherlands a few weeks ago. Last week I saw the story of you and your family. I was doing my laundry and when I heard your wife speak about you I started to cry! I could feel her emotions and the pain that she is going through. She told us that she could only say goodbye from you slowly, piece by piece. And now I am reading that you are still alive and with your family. This means that God is watching over you and that you are still needed here on earth. I wish you all the best and hope that you will come out of this battle stronger and that you will stay with your family for a long time!!!
Maureen <wallys@zonnet.nl>

Gosh! Will miss seeing all of you in church do come back and visit. Soo happy that you can be closer to family and know the children will really enjoy it. You are such an inspiring family and your faith is so strong.
I put a card and alittle gift in your door at the house and do hope you found it as I never knew when you were coming and going. It's from a group of us church ladies.
God Bless all of you in your new home. Maggie

Sounds like you're having fun "on the farm"! While the kids may bawlk at first, I can attest first hand that it is a GREAT way to grow up - I wouldn't trade it for anything.
We are still trying to finalize plans for a trip home - we are ALL excited about it - especially George! The kids are simply mysitfied - they cannot even conceptualize what I think is the greatest way to live life. I miss the lifestyle and connection with family and friends.
Even though I've now been away longer than I was there, SD will always be home to me - and you all will always be my family.
Thinking and praying for you daily,

Can't wait to come out and see the new mower. When we were eating supper last night, I told Mark that the mower was being delivered. I am sure Mark can't wait to get out there to see it and try it out too! I think everyone is going to be fighting for time on the mower of all mowers! Who knew?! Let us know when you are down again and if you need any help with anything...ie. stripping wallpaper!:)Love you all.

Hi all! I haven't checked in with you in quite sometime so thought I'd better leave a quick hello! Congrats on your upcoming move - what a blessing it is that you can make such great plans for the future and move closer to those you love most! Family truly is the biggest blessing of all, so I'm glad to see that you are able to make the move. Of course you will be missed around here, but it is God's will for you to live elsewhere. I'm guessing I'll see you around over the summer as I agreed to go back and manage the pool part-time. I'm a real glutton for punishment! God bless you all

Brookings, SD USA - Tuesday, May 2, 2006 9:54 AM CDT

Hi. You don't know me, but we have a lot in common. I just read your article in Family Foundations. Loved it. Made me cry. Happy tears! My husband and I have six children, one of whom went to heaven March 11, 2004 at the age of 10. Elie had a brain tumor. An astrocytoma. She was diagnosed at 8 months...her right side of her body went limp. They thought it was a glioblastoma multiforme and said inoperable. They gave her 6 weeks to live. We were 25 at the time and she was our first baby. We took her home to love her up until God wanted her with him. To make a very long story short, she was operated on in NYC and suffered a severe stroke. She was unable to walk, talk, see, smile or eat by mouth again. We took her to Lourdes. We had a private audience with JP II. The blessings in our life that are attributed to Elie are infinte! In the good times - Thanks be to God! In the bad times - Thanks be to God! In the joyous times - Thanks be to God! In the grieving times- Thanks be to God. We cared for her at home with the help of round the clock nursing. In the end, it wasn't the tumor, it was her intestines that gave out. I was always afraid of how/when she was going to die, but I can tell you God was so very gentle and kind to us and her. She went to heaven at her normal bedtime in our arms. We were told she had 2-4 days to live and she lived 6 days. I thank God every day for the way he orchestrated this. Our lives our in His hands. He knows when we are all going! Would I want her back? The missing is heavy at times, but I would not. I feel closer to her now. Pope Benedict said, when a man goes to God he does not go away. I KNOW that to be true. Elie interceeds for our family every day. We have a saint in heaven! To think I am the mother of a saint is humbling. In the end, I believe God blesses with the cross. He blessed us with Elie, tumor and all. And we are grateful. You will all be in my prayers.

Good morning! Loved your line: "So what are the desires of your heart?" I heard a talk this week about 'goals'. Not the scary kind where you need a plan, action, and due date! But simply - a list of dreams and desires. So you all go ahead and dream the dreams and list the desires of your hearts and we will too!! Thank you for the gentle push to do so.....

Thank you for the prayers, letters, and kind words. I’m doing well. Stable. I fill my time with God, Jackie, children, and doctor appointments. Always something happening around here.

Yes, it’s true that ‘Bill’s in a Jam’ is official going. I’m trying teach my girls a skill and how earn extra money. But, I hope its work with me that really enjoy. So here’s the spread, we have: Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Peach, Cherry, and Mixed Fruit.

4 oz. $3.00 : 8 oz. $5.00 : 16 oz. $7.00 one jar a piece. Or try our sampler 3 - 4 oz. of three different favors (you choose) for $8.00. For you folks that don’t live Brookings, we are willing to ship it to you. We haven’t figured out the rates yet.

God Bless You All,
Bill

Hi, Bill and family, Now that I'm on line I can read your up-dates on my own. Used to get the newest news from Dorothy or Kathleen. Think of you often, and so glad that things are 'stable' and Bill is getting on with his own business. What besides strawberry, raspberry, and peach jams are you trying? My thoughts and prayers are always with you all. Such courage, you are examples to us all.
I will be going up to the Cities to help out Tom and Angie with Abby's visit too the doctor after Easter. She, too, seems to be 'stable'. Love to you all, Carolyn

Bill and Family... I am an 'online' friend of Sheri..and was so touched by your appearance on Three Wishes... Amy Grant is a Woman of God and opened her heart to that project. Your story touched me immensly as that dreadful disease has touched my life and those I love more than I care to admit. Bill... your courage brings me to 'prideful tears' and Jackie.... your strength seems immeasurable!! What an incredible family you all are.. I continue to Pray for you all and I truely believe that if God brings us to it... He will bring us through it!!! Peace and Faith in Jesus... Diane

Bill, Jackie and family. I just wanted to let you know you are in our prayers here and I am glad things are looking up. Also, the raspberry jam is awesome. Stella told me about it so I asked her to get me some today. I am having it on bread now. I also love the name.

Bill and Jackie, Before I started reading your website, I would never have guessed I could feel so close to people who are physically so far away. The way you share yourselves is such a blessing to me. I only wish I could come hug you . . . and "help" with the peach preserves!

Dear Bill and Jackie, We saw Bill's story on TV a few weeks ago and he and your family have been in our thoughts and prayers since then. My husband, Stan, was diagnosed with GBM, Grade IV, in the right temporal lobe in April 2005. He had a resection, has finished radiation and is currently doing chemo. His doctors are pleased with his treatment so far. I am emailing you a link regarding a young lady from our area in Alabama that I thought you might be interested in reading. Her tumor was also inoperable but she has survived for over five years. Please keep us in your prayers and we will do the same. God Bless You!

I talked to a co-worker after Three Wishes and she said that night she prayed that Bill's tumor would shrink and eventually disappear. She said she often hoped that Bill would get a chance to enjoy the beautiful backyard they had built. I talked to her the other day and told her about the developments now and she was open-mouthed and her eyes were flashing MIRACLE!!! It was such fun to talk with her!!! She was completely overwhelmed to see God working like that!!! She kept saying "and without any treatment" meaning God had done it all! She left saying "We better all be praying more!" Her faith was strengthened in those five minutes we talked. Yippee!!! Thanks for letting God show through you - you've walked through tough waters and many have been strengthened by it!! Love ya, Deb

Mr. Logue,
You may not remember me but you were my CCD teacher a few years ago. Although it probably seemed like your lessons were going in one ear and out the other, I began to do a turn around in your class. No longer was I too cool for CCD, and last year, the year after being confirmed, I decided to teach 7th grade catechism...oh how courageous you were even then. And, here I am at Notre Dame, Our Lady's University. Tonight I am going to visit the Grotto and light a candle just for you and your family. May God bless you and be with you always.

Your last entry gave me goosebumps. A coworker had just come into my office to ask me what a PET scan was as her brother's cancer may have returned after an 18 month remission. I briefly told her what Bill has gone through and then had her read the last few entries and she left my office with a positive attitude and not as many worries. Bill's continued recovery has effected so many people that you will never know or meet. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. LIVESTRONG!

Logue Family -

I have been following your journey of faith on this website and just wanted you to know that you continue to be in my prayers. I try to pray every morning before dawn and this morning you were lifted up at 5:03 a.m. with the specific intention of a successful surgery today.

The Holy Spirit directed me to this particular verse this morning. It seemed so perfect for your journey of faith...
"For during the battle they called on God, and he heard them because they placed their trust in him." (1 Chronicles 5:20)

Continue to call on Him, great things are happening!

MIRACLE!!! How often we read of the miracles Christ did while here on earth. How wonderful and awesome that He has chosen to do one right now - right here in front of our eyes - right within Bill's brain!!! Praise Him!! I was wonderfully encouraged to read your message of hope. Could hardly read fast enough and take it all in. I forwarded it on to many friends to encourage them by seeing God at work and to ask for prayers for all of you. Melissa's words were "I pray for them TONS!" We are all rejoicing. And we are praying that God would go before you and with you into the surgery on Wednesday. We're trusting for a GREAT report!!! God is so good. I'm thinking the kids are dancing praises to God! As are we all! Your miracle kind of spreads out to us all and gives us all hope - even in our own lives. Be at peace through this wait. May God hold you in His mighty hand. Love always, Deb

Thank you for inviting us to be there for the 3 Wishes nite, it was magical! I think the show came out beautifully...It showed what a kind, loving, peaceful family you are. We're all blessed for knowing you...

I love this site, it's wonderful to keep up to date on Logue-happenings. Glad to hear Bill's doing well & strong. Please keep us posted on the stereotatic radiosurgery, and also your scan, Jackie.

The Logue Family: While we have never met, I lived in Brookings for a number of years and grew up in a neighboring community. Thus, I was glued to the TV for the "Three Wishes" episode. You've been in my thoughts and prayers ever since I heard your story. It's been interesting to read your journal. As I've read it, something a friend once told me comes to mind - "God only gives the toughest rows to hoe to those he knows can handle it." Take Care!

Dorothy has been keeping me pretty much in the loop, and I have been with Abby and parent alot. Wish that I could do more.

Hello Logue Family,
You don't know me but your story has really touched my heart and I have prayed for you and your family a lot of the past few weeks. I lived in Brookings from 1994-2002 and I now live in Holland, MN with my husband of 3 years and our 3 children. I joined the Brookings homeschool group this year. I love and miss Brookings so I watched your story on Three Wishes. I laughed, I cried, and when the show was done I was deeply touched. I wish I had known you previously but I am thankful to have had a chance to hear your beautiful story. I believe you have touched MANY lives that you have never met and I want you to know that all of us out there are praying for you and your family every day. Take care and enjoy each other. You have been blessed and you have been a blessing to others. Thank you. =)

I had a dream about you last night - it was in Sioux Falls at the hotel during State B's - it involved the whole "hamburger hanging on the ceiling" incident. I woke up laughing - George now is convinced I'm insane. We were crazy back then, huh?
We are thinking and praying for you every day. I hope you feel the love being sent your way.

Bill and family

It was wonderful to see your story and beautiful family on the show last week. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers - it looks like you have quite the support system around you - God has blessed you with a wonderful wife and children. The love in your family really came through on the show. It was also fun to see old faces from the halls of WHS. Although many of us drift away to different parts of the state and country, there is always a connection from our time growing up in our small town and the friendships that were made. The memories were great to relive!
May your wishes continue to come through.

Logue Family -

Thank you for your sharing your journey with so many and for providing such a concrete example of living your faith. Julie Becker from the Vermillion Credit Union shared your story with me and I just wanted to thank you for your website and let you know that I am lifting you up in prayer.

The following quote is one that seems to speak about you:

'Holiness does not consist in our doing great things for God, but rather in surrender, this abandonment of our mind, heart and will to be one with His...The conclusion for us is that really the great things we will do in our life, if indeed we do some great things, will be the little things that are done to us, things we are asked to bear, things not of our choosing, things we would rather avoid, but which we bear patiently and lovingly, and with deep faith in God's guiding hand....In considering works of obedience...we must keep in mind the power of God's grace. There is an absolute difference between what we can do under the influence of grace and what we can do without God's grace....'(excerpted from Seeking God's Will, Rev. Philip Schuster, 2002)

Your family is definitely under the influence of God's grace and I will pray that you continue to feel God's presence with you every step of the way.

As you can imagine, your hometown of Wakonda is buzzing today with talk about the show last night! I hope you and your family feel the power of the prayers and love that are surrounding you.

Bill, I was glad to hear Michelle mention how she thought you looked just like Rob Lowe in high school. I don't think Charlie and I ever told you how many phone calls we got from girls who were looking for you (some of these calls were received quite late at night!). I was working at the hospital in Viborg when you were in high school and I felt like the relative of a celebrity when the Viborg girls working as candy stripers would ask if I was related to that cute Bill Logue who looked just like Rob Lowe!

AWESOME!!! STUPENDOUS!!! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!! My dear friends! It was wonderful. I cried through the whole thing. And am still crying now. I feel so blessed to have spent time in your home and felt the spirit of love and peace prevailing there. I know just what Amy Grant was talking about!! You all did wonderfully!!! I can't imagine how hard it must have been to share your heart on national tv. But I'm sure you touched many hearts through your story and inspired many to seize the day and make as many memories as possible. I so loved to see that huge smile on Bill's face as his friends each came out of the vehicles to surprise him. And Jackie - after they presented you with the scholarships and you leaned down and carassed Bill so tenderly with your hand on his cheek and pressed your lips to his hair - what a moment!! Love and strength showed forth through all you did tonight. The world was touched by the Logue family. My heart is full - your love and faith are contagious. Be at peace. It was a glorified night. Love, Deb

I am so impressed by you and your family, you are amazing people. I was thrilled to recoginize some familiar faces from Wakonda.. I had to get out my old photo albums and see how those faces have changed since 1986. Thank you for the memories. God bless you all!

I also think it's funny that your friend also referred to you as Rob Lowe! How funny is that?! We have a consensus! Jackie, you did well.

How fun to see all of your family together and so strong while you are facing such trouble. You have been an inspiration to Larry and I for some time; now you are an inspiration to millions who have witnessed your faith tonight. Bravo.

In Christ,

If God should allow such things, I've already asked to take Bill's place .. and, these tears are for those he *may* be leavin' behind (he's already had such a fortunate life ~;-)

So, let's pray for it to be a long one. Miracles, sometimes, come in the form of the simplest things .. like vitamins and sunlight, in my case, or new information on medical technologies not previously applied to one's cause:

I've had the good fortune of meeting the first survivor of an inoperable brain tumor to have been operated on at the West Virginia University, using a non-invasive technique involving precisely focus beams of energy released only into the tumor .. at that time? There was nothing else like it ...

“West Virginia University is developing an international reputation as a center for neurosciences and the treatment of difficult neurological conditions,” said Robert M. D’Alessandri, M.D., vice president for health sciences and dean of medicine. “We have a unique combination of advanced medical imaging and diagnostic tools and faculty who are at the leading edge of research and treatment of brain tumors and aneurysms.”

Go there, and continue to pursue every possible avenue that modern medicine offers ... never stop fighting back, and never let hope end. "His will; His way," makes my prayers short and simple, and this may be a matter of *your* will.

OK, ok ... I'll go back to watchin' the show (God Bless ~'-)

I'm sitting on the bed in a hotel room in Dallas, eyes affixed to the TV! I don't know how different they are portraying the time you spent with them, but I do know that your amazing spirit and personalaties have been captured beautifully!

How fun to see the first communion pictures, wedding pictures, senior picture of Bill (I thought you looked like Rob Lowe at the time!) and the kids' younger pictures. My husband is racing home to catch the show on tape in Denver!

I've already seen your family and Uncle Joe, can't wait to watch the rest!

Hope you're having a great celebration there in Brookings!!!

Bill & Family,
Praise the Lord for the good things that are occuring as a result of your debilitating path to eternity! With all the negative things that are going on in this world, it is a blessing to see TV shows like Three Wishes! May God continue to bless you and your family and may He continue to use your life to help others come to know Him! God Bless You!

Hello Bill and family!
Don't know if you remember me or not, but I was your 4th grade teacher. (and Jackie's!!) I'm still teaching(and NO, I'm not THAT old!!!)6th grade at the Yankton Middle School.
Just wanted you to know you and your family are being kept in my thoughts and prayers. How brave you all are! If you're still as kind and sweet as you were when you were 10 (and my guess would be you are or Jackie wouldn't have married you!!), your family is truly blessed!
Please know I'm thinking of you!

October 5, 2005....While I do not know Bill or his family personally, I do know about his diagnosis, struggles and heartaches through his former coworker and friend, Mark Moorhouse of Sioux Falls.....and since learning about Bill last year, I have continually kept him in my prayers. When Mark emailed me about the Amy Grant show, it really made get goose bumps. How exciting is this?! Congrats to Bill and his family. I will tune in on Friday night...and pass this on to my friends/family to watch as well. I wish nothing but peace and happiness to you. God Bless, Amy Petrik

Hello all! I just had to pass along this thought to you...

I was a Confirmation sponsor at the beautiful Mass on Sunday at St. Thomas More. One of the points the Bishop made to the Confirmation candidates was to find a way to spread your love for God, through teaching, sharing or setting examples of faith. All I could think of as I looked around our beautiful church was how blessed you are that your family will be able to share your unbelievable and unwavering faith in God with the whole country in just a few short days. What a blessing! I'm sure the entire viewing audience will find themselves just as amazed by your strength and love as those of us who know you.

May God bless you all! Thanks for the example that you are setting for the rest of us! Take care!!

Hi Jackie and Bill,
I just found out about Bill today. You two have been an inspiration to me for as long as I have known you. Jackie, do you remember when you were working at the flower shop and you told us that you knew you wanted to marry Bill when you were in Kindergarten? What a wonderful life you guys have had. You were so strong (and determined) through your cancer, Jackie and I'm sure this is testing your strength as well. You are lovely people and will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you....

One of my co-workers had seen a news spot about a South Dakota family being on the show! When I told her it was YOU she was so excited!!! I know many people will be watching! And then you can add more prayer warriors to your list! I'm so happy for you and all the wonderful blessings God has provided. Glad Bill has stayed strong through all the excitement your summer has brought. We'll be watching!!!! Loads of prayers and love, Deb

We so wanted to see more of you, but you had a great way of putting it; who ever gets to be with the bride and groom on their wedding day. On the other hand it felt like the Denver dinner club reunion. We had a great time in our room reuniting with the Denver folks. Please know that we have all of Casper and our Bishop praying for you.

Hi Bill, Jackie and kids, Did you have fun at the Amy Grant concert? It sounds like it was a very busy week for all of you. We were honored to be part of your extended family and have a chance to be with you Wed. night. You all were so gracious and calm under, what I would consider, all that stress. I am thankful for the gifts you received that evening, but I am more thankful for the gift of all of you in our lives. God Bless, see you soon,

By the way, we had some time to visit with people while waiting for the bus, so we had a chance to meet some of your family and friends - it was fun to have that opportunity.

Went to check your website and when your beautiful picture came up, I let out such an exclamation that Andy came to see what I was going nuts about!!! It is the most beautiful picture - captured the love you share and put it in print! I love it! It will go on my fridge as a prayer reminder and I'll take it with me as well to show others. When I close my eyes in prayer now, I will have this beautiful picture of you all full of love and joy. Satan (or ugly cancer) cannot steal our joy!! I can learn from your philosophy of "seize the day". I've learned SO MUCH from you already! Christ shines through you. Take care. Good to hear that the days are going well. I love you all!

How wonderful a place--how fortunate for us that can send you all prayers and peace. One thing that I always remember when I am questioning faith is how you ALWAYS kept a strong heart and unfailing faith even when questioning certain things. In this trying time may you all find peace and love. I pray so often for all of you hope that things get better. I loved the pictures of the family. Boy have the kids grown!!! You look so proud of everyone in all of them. May God continue to be with you and protect you on this journey. Prayers Leslie

I am not good at sending a note but I just have to tell you guys as you face the tough road ahead, how much hospice helped us with the final journey for Bill's grandmother. You will find additional strenght there too when you need it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I admire what faith that you two have and have instilled in your family.

Sounds like you're facing some tough times and tough decisions. Just wanted to let you know that I've had thoughts of you pushing into my brain all day - even though I'm getting ready for graduation and company coming! God must have just been reminding me in His subtle way that you guys needed some extra prayers right now. And believe me -- the prayers are there!!! My heart is heavy for you. I'm thankful for your wonderful strong faith. I know God will carry you. Love and hugs (and prayers!!) Deb

Hello my friends! You will be in my prayers today as you go through another chemo treatment. I trust God will give you strength for what you need and peace in your hearts. My heart has been heavy for my two little friends, Madeleine and Marielle. They blessed my heart the times I was there to visit. Am sure this struggle is hard for them as it is for all the kids. So I'm praying extra special prayers for them all. You are all in my heart as well as that of my entire family. May God hold you close. Blessings, Deb

You challenge me with your expression of faith even in the midst of discouragement and heartache. The tears I shed this morning are for you my dear friends. There aren't many words that are fitting. I wish I could give you all (including your sweet little ones) big hugs!! Instead, I pray and trust for you to feel our love and most importantly, God's never-ending love and grace. I love you.

Bill, Jackie, and family,
I visit your site often and keep you in my prayers regularly. Reading about your journey, sure gives me perspective on all the seemingly important things going on in my life. When it comes right down to it, most of my time-intensive activities won't matter much at all. Am I spending enough time with the Lord? I know I am not. You inspire me to keep him in the forefront of all my thinking and busyness. One of my best friend's mother had to have her lower arm amputated recently to keep cancer from coming back. And, then I realized, "Have I thanked God for my hands lately? My legs, my eyesight, my hearing, etc." I pray that I walk more closely with the Lord, like you, in good times and bad. Thank you for your sharing and inspiration. God Bless all of you with His unending Peace.

But for a minute Jackie, let's just pretend that we're having a Coke at Perkins and discussing our lives. After reading this last entry, I've been thinking of some wonderful spiritual encouragement to write. All that keeps coming to mind is "This sucks." Guess that's the honest truth at this moment. Next time I'll be spiritual!! :) You are constantly in my prayers. And I pass your updates on to many. We love you! Hugs, McVey

Dear Bill, Jackie, and Logue kids,

I love the Black Hills, too. I often refer to it as "God's Country," which was the right place for you to be when our Holy Father passed.

Know that Larry and I continue to pray for you. We're not as patient as you, Jackie and Bill, but we are diligent. I like to tell Larry stories about my family's trips to the farm and how us "suburbanites" didn't fair very well with you farm kids. John, Dawn and I have great memories!

Please know that many, many people visit your website and there are legions that care deeply but don't know how to espress themselves. I'm sure they are praying for you, too.

God bless you, my cousin, and your wife and kids as well.

We found that when Abby was in the hospital that at times there were to many docs and not enough communication between them. Hopefully the news will be better than what you initially found out!!

Hello Bill & Jackie,

An article I read on Catholic Exchange by George Weigel got me thinking of you and how much Hope has come out of your family's struggles with Bill's illness. The article focuses on the modern perception of the Pope's own health problems in the light of Christian doctrine on suffering and the (naturally) perfect example Jesus sets for us during His Passion.

In part the article states, "Contemporary Western culture doesn't have much truck with suffering.... And yet suffering embraced in obedience to God's will is at the center of Christianity. The Christ whose passion more than a billion and a half Christians commemorate this week is not portrayed in the Gospels as someone to whom suffering just happened… The Christ of the Gospels reaches out and embraces suffering as his destiny, his vocation — and is vindicated in that self-sacrifice on Easter."

This passage struck me as I prepare to celebrate the Triduum and continue to pray for Bill's recovery. I pray that this season of suffering for you will be followed by a glimpse of the glory of Easter. I don't know to what degree one can "embrace" cancer and its treatment. As much as Christ's perfect example inspires us, the way you face your suffering inspires many of us who are less than perfect, too.

As Weigel concludes, "...the light of Easter is always preceded by the darkness of Good Friday, not just on the calendar but in the realm of the spirit."
God Bless you and the kids.
Tim

Once when I was getting chemotherapy my white blood count was to low to receive the treatment and I remember being very "bumped out"- I even tried to talk the oncologist into making an exception! Of course, the answer was no. It was a reality check to me that none of it was really in my hands any way, so I didn't need to worry. Sometimes I need to be reminded I'm not in control! I appreciate your updates and we pray for you everyday. Much love, Daine Bottolfson and Family

Logue Family,
It is today, Ash Wednesday that I visit your site for the first time. As I read the heartfelt prayers of your many family and friends, I actually am able to see God at work. Please know that we think of you so often, and have you in our prayers. Your family is such an inspiration. I know it sounds cliche but, if you need anything, we seriously want you to call us...watching the kids, entertaining, feeding, whatever! I will be sure to keep the hot chocolate warm for Jacob on those cold days of delivering the papers - but I know we can do more! God's blessings to you and your family. We will be there tomorrow at the benefit.

Bill and Family,

From our family to yours, we are all praying for you and will alway keep you in our thoughts. It has been a while since I worked at Corporate (Daktronics). We now live in Wisconsin and I am a Keyframe Technician here in the North Central Region.

Enjoy your retirement and catch a big fat Northern Pike for me. Those are the best. I remember when we lived in South Dakota we used to go fishing alot. Cleaning them was not so much fun, but they were very tasty!

Take care of each other and may God Bless!

Hey, it's us again! I'm sorry that Bill's starting to feel the effects of his treatments. I imagine it's not fun to slide back even if it's just a few inches. Jerry's dad had his first chemo today - it took almost 3 hours (no port) but they had doughnuts so he was happy. Been thinking about you so much lately. We love you all!

My dear Logue friends! Just a reminder that I'm in your corner! I check your site every day and will be praying tomorrow for the next chemo treatment. Even as we praised God for the shrinkage, we now trust Him for strength to deal with the tiredness. I read just recently that God isn't the Light at the end of the tunnel. God is the Light IN the tunnel!!! Hope you can see Him shining brightly there beside you as you make your way through this tunnel. My heart and prayers are with you! Be at peace. Love, Deb

Now - you have surgery coming up Monday, Jackie! I can't believe you have been given yet another load to carry but trust that all will go well with the surgery and recovery.

It is beautiful that you are thankful for so much with all the trials you are living through. You are both such an inspiration to so many, more than I’m sure you are aware. And I’ll tell you something else: you have impeccable taste because Grandma Helen’s mashed potatoes are the best in The World!!! Makes me curious about your favorite appetizer!

Bill and Jackie and Family: I am glad that Bill seems to be OK with the side effects of the chemotherapy and you are able to be out and about some. It is so true- we all need to remember to not focus on the petty things with those we care the most about. May we each remember what a precious gift every day with our family is! Have a good week and know that we are praying for and care about you.

I feel like such a SLUG! I don't even talk to you people these days. (But my prayers are daily - NO DOUBT about that.) But, the good news is that I have quit my job! Yes, as of 11/13/04. 17 years of the perfect part time job and I just simply had a tug at my heart from God that there are other things for me to be doing! I talked to Stella today and hopefully can be in better touch. LOVE this website!

I always wait anxiously of any news from Mark about your current condition. You are in my prayers always. After reading this webpage it seems that God has blessed you all with peace like a river. May he continue to do so. It cannot be easy to face this at any age. I've been considering the fact that we are the same age and how I would deal with your situation. The only answer that keeps coming back to me is Trust Jesus. You and your family are the epitome of trusting Jesus and I pray He will keep you all in his tender mercy.

While I was reading your updates, I couldn't help but think back to your beautiful wedding. What an incredible day and what an amazing life journey you have been on together bringing five precious children into the world! Wow! I have one child, and the joy he brings me and my husband is immense. To multiply that by 5 is powerful! I will pray that the energy and hope you receive daily from the love of your children, family and friends will fuel you, heal you, and keep you stronger than any medicine has the power to do.

Hello Bill and Jackie. We remember spending a day last spring at the Omaha Zoo with you, Kelly, Mark, the kids and the Beavers. It was a wonderful day and we're glad that we got to meet you. You both sound so amazingly courageous and an inspiration to others going through the same storms. We offer these words as some extra comfort and I wish I could remember the author:

I walked a while with pleasure, she chatted all the way
But nothing did I learn from her while pleasure walked my way.

I walked a while with sorrow and not a word said she
But Oh! the things I learned from her, while sorrow walked with me.

My dear friends, Just read your new entry and my heart is heavy with sorrow for you. But I can hear your strong faith and know it will carry you now. You are in my thoughts and prayers continually. I told my kids and my co-workers and am sure many there are praying as well. Andy is now at the Seminary in Sioux Falls and he said yesterday that often they share prayer requests before class. He was planning to share yours - so the whole Sem will be praying for you as well!! When we said good-bye, the last thing he did was turn around and give me thumbs up and say "Bill and Jackie". We all love you so much!! Here's Lamentations 3: 21-23. "I will never forget this trying time...yet I shall dare to hope.....His compassions are new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness."

Jackie and Bill,
We have known Mark and Kelley for quite some time--our youngest daughters went to preschool together. I just want you to know that we are keeping both of you and your family in our prayers. I had a heart tranpslant two years ago and my family and I used CaringBridge to keep in contact with family and friends. It was wonderful! Everyone that wanted to get the latest updates could do so at their convenience. I heard from relatives I hadn't talked to in quite some time, heard from total strangers, and of course kept in closer contact with those very close and dear to me. The best part for me was knowing that there were really all those people out there thinking about us and praying for us. All those messages were like "warm fuzzies" and meant the world to us. You will continue to be in our prayers. Remember, God is with you always. I would like to leave you with two imageries that were, and still are, soothing and comforting to me. Imagine that God is either carrying you around, holding you in the palms of His hands or that He is encircling you with His arms giving you a warm, healing, calming hug that only God can give.

Mary Jo Renner <rmrenner@iw.net>

Jackie, Bill & Kids -
Kelley has been keeping me updated. Your hope and determination are such an inspiration. God's Word is the ultimate message of hope! And within the pages of the Bible one can find beautiful passages which reflect the hope that we have in our Lord. King David, author of Psalm 27, gives us an exceptional example of crying out to God in expectant hope and anticipation of His protection and care. I pray you continue to "call upon the Lord" and "seek His face" during these trials and tribulations, and that Jesus Christ will be your "light" and "salvation". God Bless and keep you all.
Psalm 27

Hi! I'm a friend of Kelley's. I just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers. One of my favorite chapters is Psalms 46. Verse 1 says "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" I pray that you will be able to use his strength to get through these difficult days.

Hey my Friends!! This is such a fantastic idea to keep everyone updated and close in heart. My prayers have been and will be for you. In the midst of this struggle may you feel God's peace. I will forward this on to Bev as she's been asking. By the way - GREAT picture!!! I'll print it and put it on my fridge as a prayer reminder. I love you both. Hugs, Deb
