Brandi, it is so good to hear from you. I have thought about you often these last few weeks. Christmas Eve night, the boys and I asked Jesus to tell Chipmunk hello for us. We talked about what a wonderful celebration she must be having. You are such a good momma for letting Tyler choose where he spends his time. I know that must be hard, but it is really neat that you get to do Christmas again with him. God bless you all. xoxo

Dear Neal ,Brandi and Family,Thinking of you tonight knowing how you must feel on this Christmas Eve without your Beautiful Maddie being with you here on earth but know she will always be with you in spirit. I will pray extra hard for you during this Holiday season,when I pass the cemetery I stop by to say Hello to your Beautiful Princess Angel ,I am looking forward to her monument being cut,finished and installed,I am sure the drawing you did will be a lovely protrayal of her life.I know you will probably not believe me now but the first year is the hardest,we do not ever get over the death of a loved one ,but time does help heal our broken heart's.Sending Christmas greetings, best wishes and much love to all.

Dear Maddie,
Happy Birthday, sweet girl! I hope you are having a birthday fit or a princess up in Heaven (I can't even imagine how wonderful it must be!).
I know your family is missing you "extra" today, so please try to send them a message that you are OK, and are still with them. Send your little sis Ella a kiss to feel better, and help your big brother with his tests, OK?
Gotta go -- just wanted to let your mama and daddy know you're never forgotten, and are always prayed for, sweet princess.

Hi. Mrs. Beamon. I signed your guestbook once before last year when Madelyn was on the Kay Jewelers posters for St. Judes. I was just looking at my cousin Melissa's myspace and saw your pictures with my aunt and uncle Brion and Debbie Burress. I don't know if you had met them before or if you ever got to meet Christopher or not. Congratulations to you on all the money raised for St Judes through the marathon.
Hope your family is well. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Thanks for the update.
I was reading in Job last night and for the first time the words really hit my heart as well as my head. I could feel the agony Job was going through. Besides his whole livelihood, he lost all TEN of his children in one moment! His agony just flows through his words in Job, yet in the midst of all that come THE most beautiful Gospel. May these words comfort you, and know I'm praying.
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Thinking of you as St. Jude begins its Thanks and Giving program. We remember Maddie's commercial with Bernie Mac this time last year and her pictures in the ad campaign. Amber saw a commercial one day for St. Jude and remembered that Maddie was treated there. She said, "We have to give to the hospital so they can help kids like Maddie, right?" I said, "Absolutely."
Maddie is never far from our thoughts or our eyes (on those starry nights!), and you all remain in our thoughts and prayers.
May God bless and keep you this holy holiday season.

God bless your sweet family. My 17 year old son, Jason, and his best friend Joshua, went to be our Lord 02/23/98. They were in an auto accident on their way to school one morning. Ours was such a sudden loss. At times I wish so much we had been able to prepare and understand what was coming. Then I read of your experience and know God gives us only what we can handle. You both were graced to give Maddie what she needed for her time here and courage to face what was ahead. God has given you a special mission now to support and encourage other families through similar circumstances by your testimony of His love and all sufficient grace.

Hello Beamon family,
Hope all is well with you and your Halloween was full of fun. We went trick-or-treating and as night began to fall Amber looked to the sky and saw her stars that she always looks for -- her Great-Mam-Mam and Maddie. So Maddie was shining on Halloween night! We think of her often and stop by her Web site to check in and see her sweet smile.
You remain in our thoughts and prayers. Take care and God bless.

Revelation 21:2-5 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hey all!! Just checking in to see how things are going!! I have started back to school and there is a girl that I see everyday named Maddie. She reminds me of our angel Maddie soooo much that I can't help but to think of her daily!! She also has the dark hair that Maddie had! I didn't write this to make you sad, just to let you know ^^Maddie^^ shows up in so many unexpected places!!! On a different note, please pray for a young mother that is also featured on Caringbridge. Her name is Julie Cossar Jones and her site is www.caringbridge.org/visit/juliecossarjones I know the power of prayer that this site holds and they need it now greatly!! She is at Vandy very sick with complications that I think stem from preeclampsia sp? She has just been rushed back in to surgery due to uncontrollable bleeding.Her daughter is at Jackson thriving at 1 pound 15 oz at last report.

Hello Beamon family,
Still think of you everyday and hope you are well. You say to look for Maddie to shine in our lives, and she does! A while back, I mentioned how at my grandmother's funeral a friend of the family wrote a poem about looking to the stars at night, and that the first star would be "Mam-Mam" shining down on us. We have added that the second star we see would be Madelyn.
When Amber and I look to the stars and we see the first one, we say "Hi, Mam-Mam!" and the second one we see in the night sky we say, "Hi Maddie!"
Cute story: One night last week we saw the first star, but had to look for the second one. Amber asked, "Where's Maddie?" After a few seconds, we found that second star! I told Amber, "I guess Maddie likes to play hide-and-seek!"
Miss Madelyn is always in our thoughts and prayers, as are all of you. May God continue to bless you with good things!
Much love, thoughts and prayers from PA,

Psalms 34:6-10 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Psalms 121:1-8 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

Dear Brandi and family,
Just wanted to let you know that I remember your little princess every day, and include you all in my prayers each night.
I have to say that upon learning of the unexpected passing of Bernie Mac last week, one of my first thoughts was that Maddie was probably there to welcome him into Heaven. Perhaps they are up there right now, and he's still teasing her about "eyeballing his hat." It is just mind-boggling to me to think that so many from last year's SJ Thanks and Giving campaign are now angels in Heaven, both children and now adult alike, not to mention so many others who have earned their wings and are Maddie's playmates in Heaven. It is my most earnest prayer that we find effective treatment, and dare I say even a cure for pediatric cancer, as well as much-needed support for the families of these bravest of warriors. Some steps are being taken in the right direction, finally, but there definitely is a long road ahead. Count me in to walk that road, in honor of Maddie and so many others I have come to "know" through the CB community.
I pray you find a home for all of you soon, and that you can get settled in, including finding just the right places for some of Maddie's very favorite things.
Never forgetting your girl,

2 Samuel 22:29-33 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

Christ died that we might have hope and salvation through Him. Praying so right now!
Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Hello Brandi and family,
I haven't signed in for quite some time now, but look at Maddie's Web site almost every day. I still smile when I see her little face. My heart aches that she's no longer her on earth, but at the same time rejoices in the fact that she is with Jesus, free of pain and smiling down on all of us.
I hope to do something for Team Madelyn, and am encouraging family to do the same. If I was in better shape (and not expecting my second child -- smile) I would run in memory of Maddie in the Jude Marathon. Perhaps next year I could plan ahead and look to doing it. I ran Chicago in 2005 -- no easy feat, but I take great pride in the fact that I finished :) -- and hope to run a marathon again.
Hoping you are having a good summer and things are doing well with Tyler and little Ella. You are always in my thoughts and prayers!
Much love, thoughts and prayers from PA,

Romans 8:15-18 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Hi there! I have been a prayer warrior for your family for quite some time now. Your precious Maddie touched my heart! I looked in my hometown for the people mag. and couldn't find one. I was in Panama City last week and guess what I found one! The beach is my favorite place on earth and as I looked for Maddie's pic. I prayed for your family several times. As beautiful as the beach is to me, I know that she now knows the beauty that I long for and will one day see. My prayers remain faithful for you.

This is the second half of the hymn "Abide with Me." The words are so comforting. Know that I'm still here praying!
5. Thou on my head in every youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
6. I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!
7. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me.
8. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Hymns have been going through my head all day for some reason. This one is long so I'm only doing the first half but oh it's special. Continuing to pray so very hard!
1. Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!
2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see.
O Thou, who changest not, abide with me!
3. Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.
4. Come not in terror, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

The Brave Little Soul
By: John Alessi
Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. She especially enjoyed the love she saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day she saw suffering in the world. She approached God and sadly asked, “Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the world?”
God paused for a moment and replied, "Little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks the love in people’s hearts.” The little soul was confused. “What do you mean,” he asked.” God replied, “Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.”
The little soul began to understand and listened attentively as God continued, “The suffering soul unlocks the love in people’s hearts much like the sun and the rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately most people keep it locked up and hardly share it with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this - it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer - to unlock this love – to create this miracle - for the good of all humanity."
Just then the little soul got a wonderful idea and could hardly contain herself. With her wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, "I am brave; let me go! I would like to go into the world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people’s hearts! I want to create that miracle!"
God smiled and said, "You are a brave soul I know, and thus I will grant your request. But even though you are very brave you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask for this and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however they will also share in your suffering. Two of these souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.”
God and the brave little soul shared a smile, and then embraced. In parting, God said, “Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear the pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed.”
Thus at that moment the brave little soul was born into the world, and through her suffering and God’s strength, she unlocked the goodness and love in people’s hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys – some regained lost faith – many came back to God. Parents hugged their children tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased.

Brandi...I'm so thankful that my message reached you. I wasn't sure I had the right number so I didn't go into too much detail. My 5yr old little girl looks at this magazine several times a day. She knows Madelyn from her website and we are also Partners in Hope and we have her pic on our fridge. You know how 5yr olds can be. When we talk about Madelyn, Riley says, "That Madelyn, I sure do miss that girl". Its really cute and I tell her when she asks that Madelyn won the ultimate goal in life...To be with Jesus. She understands on a 5yr old level. I love the picture of Madelyn with Miley Cyrus. I'm so thankful that the Lord had my mother pick up that book for Riley b'se she loves Hannah Montanna. When she started looking at it herself she recongnized Madelyn right away, she is a loyal fan of Madelyn too (Margaret Kirby). The Lord works in mysterious ways.

We sang this hymn in church this morning and I wanted to share it. Am still here praying!
"My Hope is Built on Nothing Less"
by Edward Mote, 1797-1874
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
3. His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

I have been keeping up with Maddie's site, however, I have not wrote in in awhile. I loved the Father's Day pictures. Ella looks so cute, I actually think that she looks a lot like Maddie especially if you look at the younger pictures of Maddie. It is hard to believe that Ella is a year old. I hope that she had a wonderful birthday! I think Team Maddie is an excellent way to honor and remember Maddie and share her story with others. She truly is a special little girl! I hope that you all are doing well! You all are in my thoughts and prayers!

Hi Brandi, Neal, and family. I was wondering if you could email us your addres. Saturday Morgan had her hair cut for Locks of Love in memory of Madelyn. Madelyn said that she loved Morgan's hair and that it was so pretty. Morgan decided to have the 10 inches cut in memory of sweet Madelyn. Morgan has never had short hair but she loved Madelyn. Maybe another sweet little girl can have something special from this gift.

What others can only dream of discovering until they themselves are standing in the presence of the almighty king. I am still praying for you and little maddie. Bailey

2 Corinthians 4:15-18 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

It gives me great comfort knowing that madelyn may not be here but her spirit does live on in all of the hundreds and hundreds of hearts that Madelyn touched during hertime here.

God makes things happen for a reason, no matter how hard it is on us, he always knows what's best for us. Going back to work may be hard at first, but your right, Madelyn will be there with you helping you through the days and making each one a little easier. I'm praying for you!

Oh my precious Brandi, I know it is so hard. You and Neal are so amazing and I see why GOD entrusted Madelyn to you because He knew that you would do the best for her. I can sense just a tiny fraction of how you feel. Missing her so much touches every function in my life. I think, Oh, Madelyn would love that or Madelyn likes to do this and then I fall apart. But I get up and go again when I remember her strengh and courage because I am going to see her again. The Amazing Madelyn, such a Super Hero. God Bless you as you move into a new phase. ALL my love, ALL the time, ALWAYS and FOREVER. AIMHP

Brandi I wish I could be there for you! I can't imagine the pain that you, Neil and Tyler go through everyday. No parent (or child) should ever have to go through what your family has. I've said before we don't know eachother but after following with your family for the past couple years I feel as if I do know you. I can understand how hard it will be to get back into the work force and I pray that if this is the path you choose that it is an easy path for you and your family. God will take care of all of you!

If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Neal and Brandi, I read this poem recently and it reminded me of Maddie. She truly was a brave little soul and brought so much love to all who knew her and even those who never met her. Still praying for you both.
THE BRAVE LITTLE SOUL
Not too long ago in Heaven, there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. He especially enjoyed the love he saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however, the little soul was sad, for on this day he saw suffering in the world. He approached God and sadly asked, “Why do bad things happen, why is there suffering in the world?”
God paused for a moment and replied, little soul, do not be sad, for the suffering you see, unlocks to love in people’s hearts”. The little soul was confused. “What do you mean”, he asked. God replied. Have you not noticed the goodness and love that is the offspring of that suffering? Look at how people come together, drop their differences, and show their love and compassion for those who suffer. All their other motivations disappear and they become motivated by love alone.
The little soul began to understand and listen attentively as God continued, “The suffering soul unlocks the love in people’s hearts much like the sun and rain unlock the flower within the seed. I created everyone with endless love in their heart, but unfortunately, most people keep it locked up and hardly share with anyone. They are afraid to let their love shine freely, because they are afraid of being hurt. But a suffering soul unlocks that love. I tell you this- it is the greatest miracle of all. Many souls have bravely chosen to go into the world and suffer-to unlock this love-to create this miracle-for the good of all humanity.”
Just then, the little soul got a wonderful idea and can hardly contain himself. With his wings fluttering, bouncing up and down, the little soul excitedly replied, I am brave: let me go! I would like to go into this world and suffer so that I can unlock the goodness and love in people’s hearts! I want to create that miracle!”
God smiled and said, you are a brave soul, I know, and thus I will grant your request but even though you are very brave, you will not be able to do this alone. I have known since the beginning of time that you would ask, and so I have carefully selected many souls to care for you on your journey. Those souls will help you create your miracle; however, they will also share in your suffering. Two of those souls are most special and will care for you, help you and suffer along with you, far beyond the others. They have already chosen a name for you.
God and the brave little soul shared a smile and then embraced. In parting, God said, “Do not forget little soul that I will be with you always. Although you have agreed to bear this pain, you will do so through my strength. And if the time should come when you feel that you have suffered enough, just say the word, think the thought, and you will be healed.”
Thus, at that moment, the brave little soul was born into the world, and through his suffering and God’s strength he unlocked the goodness and love in people’s hearts. For so many people dropped their differences and came together to show their love. Priorities became properly aligned. People gave from their hearts. Those that were always too busy found time. Many began new spiritual journeys-some regained lost faith-many came back to God. Parents hugged their kids tighter. Friends and family grew closer. Old friends got together and new friendships were made. Distant family reunited, and every family spent more time together. Everyone prayed. Peace and love reigned. Lives were changed forever. It was good. The world was a better place. The miracle had happened. God was pleased.
Believe in God’s promises….

Hello Brandi and family,
Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures of Madelyn. Her little smile brings a smile to my face. I love the pictures of her where it looks like she's really laughing and enjoying the moment (with Toby & Tux and standing behind the white Christmas tree), and the one with her and Tyler making funny faces. Well, let's face it, I love them all :)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Your precious Madelyn truly touched my life. She has inspired me to live my life to the fullest and to enjoy each and every moment with my own little girl. We pray you each and every day -- Maddie too. We pray that God continues to hold you close, and that Maddie is enjoying her heavenly home and is free from all pain and suffering.
Take care and God bless!

I was at the Memphis in May triathlon today out in Millington. Marifrances swam in a relay this year and my job was to pick up cups dropped after the runners passed the water station. I was just standing up after picking up a cup and I saw a sign on a runner's back. It said "In Memory of Madelyn Beamon" I know you will understand this - I was caught so unaware and unprepared for the grief that hits so hard. Here I am sobbing next to a trash can and all these people are staring, thinking I am overwhelmed by the paper cups I suppose! Anyway, I felt a teeny little bit of what it must be like for you daily. We love you guys and continue to pray for your peace.

"SWEET MEMORIES"
In quiet times I often sit
And find my mind adrift
To another place, another time
And oh! My spirits lift!
I see your happy, smiling face,
And that twinkle in your eye.
I hear you sing your favorite song
And I laugh ... and then I cry.
Inside my heart Sweet Memories
Stay with me each day
I cherish, and I cling to them
For I miss you in every way.
Each thing I see ...
Each thing I do, brings you close to me
For everything upon this earth
Brings Sweet Memories of you.
I imagine our reunion
Some day at heaven's gate
It fills my heart with happiness ...
But for now, I'll have to wait.
Until my life upon this earth
And my work here is complete
Sweet Memories will keep me
Until at last again we meet.

And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

I just sent a message to Melissa Thomason telling her about a song I heard today that made me think of you all. It's called "I Saw What I Saw" by Sara Groves:
I saw what I saw and I can't forget it/
I heard what I heard and I can't go back/
I know what I know and I can't deny it/
Something on the road, cut me to the soul/
Your pain has changed me/
your dream inspires/
your face a memory/
your hope a fire/
your courage asks me what I'm afraid of/
and what I know of love/
we've done what we've done and we can't erase it/
we are what we are and it's more than enough/
we have what we have but it's no substitution/
I say what I say with no hesitation/
I have what I have and I'm giving it up/
I do what I do with deep conviction/
Your pain has changed me/
your dream inspires/
your face a memory/
your hope a fire/
your courage asks me what I'm afraid of/
and what I know of love/
and what I know of God.

It was so nice to run into you today at Little Lambs. I have followed Madelyn since I left St. Jude in 2005. She was always so much fun to take care of. She had such a sweet little spirit and always had a twinkle in her eye. Your brave little girl has touched many, many lives.
May God bless you all.

I know it was a very difficult day, but is seems as though you made it through by the grace of God. I know you have such wonderful bittersweet memories of your precious girly-girl!!!! That can never,ever be taken from you!! Ella is growing up so fast & so is Tyler. Sounds like he is going to be very busy with camps this summer. Just know that you are such an inspiration to this Momma! Hugs to you too!

Hello Brandi,
Thanks for the update. You and your family are prayed for and thought of daily! I hope you had a blessed Mother's Day, and I truly believe that Maddie was with you in spirit, as I am sure she is with you everyday in spirit. I still visit her site daily just to check for updates and to see her smiling face. I'm sure that smile is broader still as she rejoices with Jesus, free of pain and suffering.
Sounds like little Ella is a budding princess! The hairband thing is too cute! -- at least you can get hairbands in her hair, with my 4-year-old daughter, it's a struggle!
May the Lord continue to bless and keep you in His care.

Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day, Brandi. Still praying!!!!
Dear Lord,
Today we pray for mothers--
our own mothers, and mothers everywhere,
who have made such a major contribution
to the good qualities we have,
sometimes through genetics,
more often through great effort and patient instruction,
and who have done their best
to gently polish away our rough edges.
Lord, please bless our mothers
for the endless hours of time they spent
and the boundless energy they invested in us.
Bless our mothers for their sacrifices on our behalf
as they often gave up or deferred their own dreams
so that we could have ours.
Bless our mothers for always being there for us,
for being the person we know we can turn to
when we need comfort, encouragement, or just a hug.
Bless our mothers for making a home for us
where we could feel safe, where we felt we belonged.
Most of all, Lord,
bless our mothers for their unconditional love,
for loving us no matter what,
and for frequently showing love
in ways that make us feel valued and cherished.
Lord, please bless our mothers mightily.
Strengthen them, soothe them,
wrap them in Your infinite love
and shower them with blessings
too numerous to count, too magnificent to describe.
We love them, admire them, respect them,
and we wish that You would give them back
many times the good they gave to us.
In Jesus' name we pray; Amen.

Still praying!
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

I still think of your family every single day and check the site very frequently for updates. Even though I don't leave as many comments, you are still remembered daily in my heart and in my prayers. Never forget that you are loved and thought of and prayed for. Your "little princess" still touches my heart daily...

Thank you for the update. There are several "angel" sites that I still visit regularly and Maddie's is one of them. Your family has touched me in a very special way. Maddie was such a beautiful little girl and when she was facing such obstacles and so much pain, she still lived life to the fullest and was an inspiration to us all. Your update today brought tears to my eyes when you described lighting the candle in her honor. I would have been a MESS. You handled everything, even with the intense emotions and now that things have settled down and you have time to think and let go of your control on your emotions, they are catching up with you. Know that there are many, many of us out here that continue to pray for you and the other kids at St. Jude on a daily basis. Maddie might not have "won" her battle at least by earthly standards, but she did win when she graduated to the arms of our Heavenly Father and is seated at his feet. Each day that we take a breath here on earth is a gift and it is one that I do not take lightly after following Maddie and so many other children's courageous journeys. You are to be commended on how you have traveled it with her. You are one classy family and I am happy to "know" you thought this site.

Hi Brandi,
I have been thinking about you and your family for the last few days.Andy and I were asked to speak at a fund raiser for St. Jude last Saturday in Toledo, Ohio. On each table they had 2 pictures of St. Jude patients. When I was lead to our table right in front of my place was a picture of Madelyn. I had to wipe a few tears and collect myself before I was asked to go up to Speak. When Andy came over to the table, He said "Mom look" so he recognized Madelyns picture too. I did not know any of the other kids whose pictures were on the tables.
Well just know that I do keep you and your family in my prayers.

I still care just as much how the Beamons are doing even though madelyn is not here anymore. I am glad yall had a good weekend. Thanks for continuing to keep us updated on yall's lives. I will be home on the 9th and hope to see yall soon after! can't wait to see the new house! love yall!!

Brandi,
I check in on you often. I know you have moments you can't even begin to talk about. I thought about you guys as you went to the wedding and lit the candle for Madelyn this past weekend. We were at the mall the other day, and I saw some little girls coming out in their makeup and hair from the place in the mall. I don't even know the name. Anyway, all I could think about was little Madelyn and how much she enjoyed dressing up and being girlie. Just know that she will never be forgotten. She has marked a permanent place in the hearts of so many people. We love you guys. I will call you when we get to Memphis next week. Maybe we can get together. We don't have to meet at the hospital because my mother-in-law will have a car I can use. I would love to see you guys.

Just wanted you to know that I think of you all so often & I check this site everyday that I am at work! Your update this time was so filled with emotion- it seemed as though I could just feel it. I know going to the wedding & to the cheerleading competition were reminders of things you know that your Princess will never do. I DO know that God is Still God & God is GOOD! Even in the midst of a storm- HIS LIGHT still shines through. Maddie's light is shining bright through each of you!
God Bless The Beamons!

Maddie has touched me forever, and I know as her mother, that means alot to you, as it would me. I will never forget that sweet face seen in the pictures from this site and the funny stories and antics! You helped her to live and enjoy her life to the fullest. Tyler and Ella are very lucky children also. I pray for you all, and I know God has wonderful things in the future for you all.

I never know what to do about asking for an update. I do care so much and what to know if you're okay or not, but figure you need to deal with this the best way you can and if that involves updates you'll update, but if not....
Grief is a roller coaster ride...there will be times when things go more smoothly and then something will hit you out of the blue. Sometimes it's all you can do to get through the next moment. But the days do pass and the pain isn't as intense...
Going to be away from the computer for a few days. Will be praying while I'm gone!
Psalms 63:5-6 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.

I continue to pray for you and your family. I had the honor of caring for Maddie on occasion when I worked at St. Jude. I was a PICU nurse that got to "float" down to the 2nd floor to work from time to time. She was so full of life and energy -- always laughing and smiling. I fell in love with her from the start! Though I had to move away last year because my sweet momma was suddenly diagnosed with cancer, I still had fond memories of Maddie and my other St. Jude sweeties. I'll never forget her saying to me one day when I didn't have time to put my contacts in before work "Miss Elizabeth, you are much prettier without your glasses on". Hillarious and Honest! I told my mom that story and she thought it was priceless! I am so sad that you no longer have your little princess at home. But, I am comforted in knowing that my momma has a sweet little princess to dance with, laugh with, and smile with in Heaven. May out sweet Lord continue to comfort you. God bless you all!

Dear Brandi,
these are the words of Calling All Angels from the movie Pay it Forward. I wanted to share it with you . . .
Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir
and all the rest
Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
and high above you can hear
the church bells start to ring
and as the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in
somewhere you can hear a mother sing
then it's one foot then the other
as you step out onto the road of hope
step out on the road
how much weight? how much?
then it's how long? and how far?
and how many times oh, before it's too late?
calling all angels calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels calling all angels
we're tryin' and we're hopin'
but we're not sure how...
ah, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
with such love and intensity
why it's ah, it's almost as
if you could only crack the code
then you'd finally understand what this all means
ah, but if you could...do you think you would
trade in all, all the pain and suffering?
ah, but then you'd miss
the beauty of the light upon this earth
and the sweetness of the leaving
calling all angels calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels calling all angels
we're tryin' and we're hopin'
but we're not sure...
calling all angels calling all angels
walk me through this one
don't leave me alone
calling all angels calling all angels
we're tryin' we're hopin'
we're hurtin' we're lovin'
we're cryin' we're callin'
cause we're not sure how this goes
With much love and admiration for you and your family

Thank you again for letting us be with you on this journey. Maddie is missed so by people that have not even met her. And only because your have allowed us to read your most heart felt words whether they are happy times with Maddie and your family or the most heart shattering times when your sweet Maddie was taken by angels to her heavenly home. I just want to thank you for letting us be a part of your journey. And we are praying for you more than you know. May God comfort and keep you.

I have been reading about ms ^Maddy^ for a while now but have never signed. I am so in awe of your strength. my step daughter brooklyndurham is also unfortunately losing the battle with cancer. It is so order to be the other family in times like these. I find encouragement in your words of how your other children are doing because I cant seem to find the words to lessen their pain and worry as she becomes sicker (not a word but). Thank you for your strength and words of courage. I hope you continue to become more at peace as time goes by.

It is so good to finally hear from you Brandi, and I am sooo happy you and your family are doing well. I check every few days to see if there is an update, wondering how you are all doing. Well today...WHAT an update! You write beautifully, you brought tears to my eyes. I am so glad you got to go to that sermon and glad that it helped you so...and believe it or not, it helped me too. Helped me to believe that beautiful children, like Maddie, are brought into this world for many reasons, and we now know what Maddies reason was. I know, or let me say, I can only imagine how hard it is to live without her, but as you learned...you will NEVER really be without her, she will be with you ALWAYS. I am really not a very religous person, wasn't brought up with religon in my life, but reading updates from people like you, make me really understand the power of GOD. I hope every day becomes a little easier for you and your family...knowing that Maddie is in such a wonderful place can surely help, at least a little...

As i sit studying tonight, I can't get maddie off my mind. Brandi and Neal I know that God sent Madelyn to yall because He knew what amazing parents you would be to her and how much love, comfort, and support yall would give her. you did all you could do for that sweet, sweet child. at times like tonight when my heart is filled with sorrow and i am missing her so much the only thing that i can ask God is why? Why would He bring this amazing little girl into my life and then take her away. but then i remember a quote that always reminds me of her from the movie steel magnolias, " I'd rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a life of nothing special." I would rather have 3 years of wonderful with Maddie than a life of nothign special. Madelyn touched my life in so many ways i know ive said it 5 billion times. i truly believe my life would not be the same had Madelyn not been in it. i jsut feel so blessed that yall shared your beautiful daughter with me for those three years and i continue to feel blessed to be able to have yall in my life I love you all and am thinking of yall tonight, as always.
Missing ^^Madelyn^^,

I know that she is only a prayer away and that I'll see her soon but soon is not fast enough. You are so right in the fact that we have to show others the light that she brought to this world and I'm trying. Loving all of you has blessed me so. You are both AWESOME parents and have awesome children. ALL my love, ALL the time, ALWAYS. AIMHP

I was very excited to see that you had updated, Brandi. I was beginning to worry. You continue to be such an inspiration to me. A reminder that whatever problem I'm having compares nothing to what your precious Maddie went through and now the pain of your heart. I pray that God will comfort you and carry you until you get to be with Maddie again. John 14:1-4 comes to mind tonight, sweet friend. 1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going."
Glad to hear that Tyler and Ella are doing well. Please continue to keep us updated and thank you for sharing your family with us.

Brandi and Neal,
Your daughter made such a difference in my life. As I prepare for my wedding day (11 days away) I can not help, but think about the first person who wanted to plan anything for the wedding. It was our precious flower girl ^^Madelyn^^ who knew more questions to ask than the bride had answers for at the time. This past weekend, Mom and I finalized my wedding program where Madeyln is still a part of our day. When we put her name down I had to walk away as the tears started flowing because you know me showing emotion in front of other is not my strong suit. She is still very missed by this lady. Love Always

Good Afternoon Brandi!
You & your sweet family are never very far from my thoughts. I continue to check Madelyn's site everyday!
What beautiful & inspiring words you've posted. It brings tears to my eyes. I admit that I cried when I read that
Madelyn had passed away. I was at work & my co-workers knew that I had been following Madelyn's journey. ( I am the Office Manager at a Veterinary Hospital in Starkville, MS. ( I'm sure you have heard of Mississippi State University.) In HIS word, our Heavenly Father said he would never put more on us than we can bear-as Christians,we BELIEVE this & must cling to HIM! GOD is SO GOOD! Isn't he! He allowed you & Neal to be the parents of a very special girl who made such an impact on us all. We have never met! Yet,we ALL are members of GOD's FAMILY. Take Care & God Bless the Beamons!
In Christian Love,

We don't know each other. I first found out about Maddie's Caringbridge website back in January from Stash Phillips' Caringbridge website. I have been wanting to write in and tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. My husband and I are praying that the Lord will pour comfort and strength onto your broken hearts through the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
What you spoke about Maddie in your journal entry today is so true and so poignant. Your girl has left such an impact on this world. And what magnificent joy she is getting to experience now in Heaven, walking with God and still loving all of you.
We will continue to pray for your family. May the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)

This passage always amazes me. Knowing that the Holy Ghost Himself is praying!
Romans 8:26-28 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Maddie- I can't believe its been almost 2 months since you went to be with Jesus. I miss you very much and often think about alll the times we spent together. I cherish those moments and feel blessed and honored to have known you. I hope you know how much i love you and will always love you. you will forever be in my heart. I heard this song the other day and reminded me so much of you.
“I've heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason. Bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those, who help us most to grow, If we let them and we help them in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you: Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun. Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good.”
“It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime. So let me say before we part so much of me is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart, and now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine by being my friend. Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood, Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you: I have been changed for good.”
We have all changed for good because we knew you. I will forever be gratetful for you and you will forever be in my heart. I love you so much Madelyn! Watch over us all.
love,

Hold on to those precious memories you have of Princess Maddie. Keep them ever in the front of your mind and forever in your hearts. She is with you always in spirit. I thought about how she is spending her first Easter with Jesus, clad in the most beautiful Easter outfit and skipping through the meadows of Heaven, finding all of those coveted Easter eggs!

Praying right now!
"I Know that My Redeemer Lives"
by Samuel Medley, 1738-1799
1. I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever-living Head.
2. He lives triumphant from the grave,
He lives eternally to save,
He lives all-glorious in the sky,
He lives exalted there on high.
3. He lives to bless me with His love,
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed,
He lives to help in time of need.
4. He lives to grant me rich supply,
He lives to guide me with His eye,
He lives to comfort me when faint,
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
5. He lives to silence all my fears,
He lives to wipe away my tears
He lives to calm my troubled heart,
He lives all blessings to impart.
6. He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly Friend,
He lives and loves me to the end;
He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
7. He lives and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death:
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He Iives to bring me safely there.
8. He lives, all glory to His name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
"I know that my Redeemer lives!"

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

When I was thinking about today this hymn came to mind immediately so I wanted to share it. Know that I'm praying!
1. There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
2. The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
3. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
4. E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die.
5. When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy power to save.

Easter Prayer
by : Helen Steiner Rice
God, give us eyes to see
the beauty of the Spring,
And to behold Your majesty
in every living thing -
And may we see in lacy leaves
and every budding flower
The Hand that rules the universe
with gentleness and power -
And may this Easter grandeur
that Spring lavishly imparts
Awaken faded flowers of faith
lying dormant in our hearts,
And give us ears to hear, dear God,
the Springtime song of birds
With messages more meaningful
than man's often empty words
Telling harried human beings
who are lost in dark despair -
'Be like us and do not worry
for God has you in His care'.

I can only imagine how hard it must be to have lost her, but I trust that it is only "for now" and that when you are reunited it will be like no time has passed, no fear or sorrow has ever happened. Total healing, peace and love -- that's where she is now, and where we all will be someday. It really comforts me to think this way, and while I know it can't take the sharp edge off of such a massive pain, I hope there's some comfort in it for you, too.

Memories Keep Those We Love
Close To Us Forever
Although words seem to say so little,
I hope they help in some small way
to ease the sense of loss
that you’re experiencing today.
Hold fast to your memories
to all of the cherished moments
of the past,
to the blessings and the laughter,
the joys and the celebrations,
the sorrow and the tears.
They all add up to a treasure
of fond yesterdays
that you shared and spent together,
and they keep the one you loved
close to you in spirit and thought.
The special moments
and memories of your life
will never change.
They will always be in your heart
today and forever more.

Praying right now!
Psalms 22:1-4 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.

On January 2, 2008 SSG Collin Bowen was injured in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb. Over 50% of his body was burned. Early this morning, this brave man, a true hero, passed away. Today's verse is in honor of Collin.
Praying!
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

I have followed your families journey for a long time. I found it through Amazing Jacobs page. I have prayed for you often. You are all so strong. I have never signed the guestbook not quite sure of what to say. I have gained much strenth from you. The funny thing is as I read the last journal entry I realized that you were 1/2 hour from where I live in Nokomis IL. It is a small world. Stay strong . I want to thank you for sharing your precious daughters story.

I just wanted you to know that I have been following your family's story for awhile now. I know your cousin Russell and he first introduced us to your website. I have a daughter who is Maddie's age and the one thing that I have noticed along the way reading your journal's has been the constant presence of Jesus in your lives. I know that he has helped you and will continue helping you through this and it gives me joy to know that he is there for all of us. Thank you for continuing to journal even know. It is very important to some of us to know that you are doing ok, as much as can be expected.

Maddie, there is no doubt that your fun and sweet spirit was with us at Ella's party. Even though I had so many emotions while we were sharing with her, I just kept reminding myself that you will always be with us, and that you are dancing with Jesus and having the BEST party ever. I love you my sweet girl and you are always in my heart.

Dear Beamon family,
On Saturday our church went to see the Passion Play at Bellevue in Memphis and at the end there was a scene of Heaven with ballerinas dressed in white dancing before Jesus. I thought of Madelyn and cried tears of sadness and then joy because of the Greatness of His Glory she is in the midst of right now. I pray the days will become easier to bear. Lay in His loving arms.

Can't believe Ella's one already!
Jesus understands suffering. Praying right now!
Hebrews 2:9-10 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Psalms 91:1-4 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

I want to appoligize for not writing you guys sooner. It's been a month and almost 3 days since your little girl went with Jesus. Brandi, Neal, Tyler, and Baby Ella (I hope I spelled that correctly) I have been trying so much to write you guys, and let you know how much your daughter touched me. But everytime I would try the words would excape me, or I would delete what I wrote. This battle has been going on ever since Maddie went to be with our Maker. She was so full of life! Even when she was so sick those last weeks. How proud y'all must be of her! I am so sorry it has taken me this long, but like I said, I fell in love with her. And it's been real hard to find the words that you guys need to hear. I just want to reasure you that I have been reading all your updates, and I will continue to do so. I believe that you are doing the right thing in keeping her legacy alive! I rally admire you for that. I believe facing this kind of grief would drive a person over the edge, but you guys hold on to faith, allowing the heavenly spirit wash over you. Before I close my letter, I would like to say thank you for sharing your daughter, and that I will continue to pray for each of you. I hurt for you guys, losing this precious child, but I am so thankful that she is with Jesus. She will never feel pain again. *shouting with praise* Neal, Brandi, Tyler, and Ella, God Bless You.
Your Sister in Christ,

Stroll Over Heaven With You
If I'd surveyed all the goodness
That comes to me from above
And would I count all the blessings
From out of the store house of Love
I simply ask for a favor
Of Him beyond mortal king
I'm sure He'd grant it again and again
I want to stroll over Heaven
With you some glad day
When all our troubles and heartaches
Have truly vanished away
There we'll enjoy all the beauty
Where all things are new
I want to stroll over Heaven with you
So many places of beauty
We've longed to see here below
But time and treasures have kept us
From making plans as you know
But come the morning of rapture
Together we'll stand anew
And then Ill stroll over Heaven with you

Dear Beamon Family,
I am a bit behind in checking in on allmy CB warriors and angels, and just now was able to read about all that was done to celebrate Maddie's life. Thank you so very, very much for sharing this with those of us who will forever be touched by her and rememmber her, but who could not be there. I will admit that I have tears streaming down my face as I try to picture all that you describe, but at the same time, I envision Maddie with a very satisfied smile on her face. Every tiny detail truly was fit for a princess, and it all reflects back just how very special Maddie was and always till be to so very many people.
I pray for your Maddie (family members and other loved ones are "automatically included without always mentioning their names -- God knows who I mean, and it's the children whose names and faces I make sure are mentioned and conjured up as I pray) every single night, and think of her often.
Please know that your sweet girl will never be forgotten, and that those of us out here with whom you have been so generous to share in Maddie's journey will always be here for you.
Most sincerely,

I have never signed the guestbook before but I always read about Princess Madelyn. My 4 year old daughter, Emma, is also a St Jude patient. I kept your family in my prayers always. I came across this song today and it made me think about Madelyn. I have never met you guys but just from reading on this website I can see how much Madelyn is loved. I just wanted to share this song. Its by Beverley Mitchell:
Have you ever met an angel
Whose smile is like the sun
Whose laugh is like a melody
That reaches everyone
Have you ever hugged an angel
Swept up in their embrace
And swear, there’s nothing
In this world that makes you feel that safe
Have you ever really loved an angel
Once you have, you’ll never be the same again
Have you ever had to let go of an angel
Say goodbye, let ‘em fly
My angel
My best friend
Have you ever felt the strength of an angel
When you needed it the most
Lifted by those gentle wings
You know you’re not alone
Every now and then
I feel the peace inside
Wherever life may take me
I’m guided by that light
Have you ever really loved an angel
Once you have, you’ll never be the same again
Have you ever had to let go of an angel
Say goodbye, let ‘em fly
My angel
My best friend
'Cause I have really loved an angel
(And I will never be the same again) How could I ever be the same
'Cause I have had to let go of my angel
Say goodbye (goodbye), let 'em fly
My angel
My best friend

Right after I read your entry, I read the entry that another mom wrote on her daughter's blog. Her daughter passed away 4 months ago. She wrote several verses that I wanted to share.
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." The Lord says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you." "I command you - be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." "When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them." "Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand."
JER 29:11 PS 32:8 JOS 1:9 PS 91:15 ISA 41:10
She also has a song and the lyrics at the bottom of her latest entry called "Held" by Natalie Grant. It is a wonderful song if you want to listen. I know God is holding you, Neal, Tyler and Ella in his hands and I hope you feel "held." http://www.smilesforsophie.com
Praying for you all.

Thanks so much for sharing Maddie's life celebration with us. It was beautiful! It certainly sounds like something Maddie would have picked out for her herself.
Brandi - you are so blessed!! God have given you so much strength and courage. He has given you a great husband, who has done more than most fathers could handle. He also has given you three wonderful, beautiful children. Although, it is very sad to us all that He has chosen to borrow one of them for a little while - just until you can all meet again. In the meantime, I pray that you continue to face each day with more strength and that you continue to rely on Him, your family, your friends, and your church for support. I'm sure that is gladly given from all, because who can know you without loving you!
Love and prayers to you from Tulsa!

Thank you so much for the update. I check your page at least twice a day, every day, but I hardly every sign. I just don't have the words. The other day I heard Randy Owens' song, "Braid my Hair", and I just crumbled, and all I could think about was your baby..A child I have never met, or seen, or touched, or heard her laughter, a stranger to me, yet somehow throughout this journey, she has become such a part of my heart. I cannot explain it. I have found myself praying AS HARD for your baby as I would for my own. For the sake of one child, thousands come together in prayer. I have struggled with this ever since Jake Raborn earned his angel wings and when I ask people WHY WHY WHY WHY do horrible things like this happen and WHY WHY WHY WHY doesn't God give them a miracle, this seems to be the most prominent answer. The coming together is the miracle. Spiritually, I get it, but I am a mommy, and my heart still bleeds for the pain your sweet baby went through on earth. I cannot even begin to imagine what the last years have been like for your family, but please know I will ALWAYS pray for you. Waking up everyday without her is a pain that no parent should every have to endure, and I will continue to pray for God to be with you, carry you on the bad days, and lay his hand on your heart. I just wanted you to know how deeply sorry I am, and that your baby will be one of the many souls in my heart when it is my time to go. I will take her with me. I guess that is part of the miracle as well. My love and prayers to each one of you. God Bless.

WHO YOU"D BE TODAY
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
Wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughing in the rain
Still can't believe you're gone
Chorus:
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
The death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder who you'd be today
Would you see the world?
Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family?
I wonder, what would you name your babies?
Some days the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy
Chorus
Today, Today, Today
Today, Today, Today
Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know I'll see you again someday
Someday, Someday

Thank you for your update, I can tell Maddie touched so many lifes. What a beautiful description of what I'm sure was a beautiful life celebration. I do feel like I was there. What a lucky little girl to have been blessed with parents such as you and Neal. I don't know what you are going through, but I know that you guys are strong parents and what a testimony you both are to trusting in God and knowing that he is there for us everytime we need him as our friends and family are too! I pray each day that you are able to deal with the loss of Maddie and enjoy and cherish the time you all have now. I can see she was truly a gift and she probably did more here just the short time she was here than alot of people do in a whole lifetime. She was one beautiful person and I know you are so glad to have been blessed with her for the time she was here. I pray for peace and comfort for your family, thanks so much for sharing Maddie's life with us.

I'm sure she was smiling down upon all of you like a princess. As you prepare for the next chapter in your life, you will now begin to see signs that let you know that Maddie is with you always. As long as you open up your heart to the possibilty, they will make themselves known to you everywhere you look.

Brandi,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and details on Princess Maddie's Life Celebration service. I look forward to seeing the service once it is downloaded. I'm sure it was a beautiful as you had described, and rightfully so -- it was planned with a beautiful little princess in mind!
God bless you and your family as you continue to adjust to life without Maddie's earthly presence. I think of and pray for her and you every day.
A little while back you had posted a picture of Maddie wearing a leopard-print sleep mask that you said she wore all night long. That photo inspired Amber to get a "sleepy mask," too, and she wears hers practically every night! Hers is white trimmed with pink that says "I (heart) Dreaming."
So you see, Maddie has touched and inspired many hearts -- including the littlest ones!
Take care and God bless.
Much love, thoughts and prayers from PA,

That had to take you a very long time to type in and I sincerely appreciate the oppertunity to "feel her presence". You are right, Maddie will NEVER be forgotten - her light will always shine. Enjoy your trip to Illinois - and kiss beautiful little Ella (I have a 5 year old neice named Ella) for me, wishing her a very happy 1st birthday!

Thinking of you, and I'm enjoying the pics of Ella and Tyler, too -- what gorgeous kids! I'm sure it must be a very tough time right now, now that it is relatively "quiet" -- although the job search, the move, all of those things must be keeping you busy, too. I think of you all every day, and I'm praying for your comfort. I miss Maddie very much, and miss all the updates about her. I trust and know she's in a better place, healed and free and without fear, and that's a comfort to me... I hope you are finding comfort, too.

Your words inspire and strengthen me, Brandy--your faith is uplifting when we know you are hurting. I agree about the kids needing closure, etc. because we felt the same way when we took Micah to Hanna's funeral. I had mixed emotions about it, but in hindsight have seen that we did the right thing with letting her see Hanna and have since been to her gravesite several times to continue to remember. I know that many will do this for Maddie as well--she had such an impact on this world!
ps. Was the Beijo purse gal named Tracey Sikes? If so, she's a friend of mine and is doing a St.Jude fundraiser this weekend.
Thinking of you guys--

We are in Pelham, AL and my friend, Alison, is in Prattville. It is amazing how Maddie could touch so many people in so many places. I look forward to meeting her in Heaven one day. Your entries have inspired me as a mother and I continue to pray for your family. I have a friend going through a 2nd battle with cancer and thought you might want to pray for him.

I live in Bend, Oregon and have been listening to the Country Cares for Kids St. Jude Radiothon today. As I was listening, they were talking about Maddie and her fight against Neuroblastoma. How I wish the story could have ended with, Maddie and her family experienced a miracle and she has beat the disease. God chose to answer prayers in another way and take Maddie home. I just want you to know that people clear across the country are hearing Maddie's story. I knew who they were talking about right off the bat when they said she loved manicures, pedicures and princesses.

Hi, I read your update cried, prayed, and now thought I will tell you a story if I can.
4 yrs. ago I was burned and near died, today I am physically fine but I have severe brain damage. I cant talk very well, cant drive,barely remember yesterday or what I just read. Thanks to the computer I can write pretty well. I never really tell people about me. I am 45 yrs old and will most likely be put in a home in the next few years so the dr's say. Thank God for my wife, she is the only reason I am in my own home now. Anyhow one day at church some time ago a little girl I had been praying for I finally got to meet. She is six but cant talk, walk, or do anything but smile, and she smiled at me and at that moment I felt God touch me as powerful as if he hugged me himself. She strengthened my faith with a simple smile. I never met Maddie but I can tell you your little princess did the same thing through a computer thanks to you for sharing her life with me. I'm sure there are thousands of "me's" that could tell a similar story. Thank you. In Christ, Joe I hope this makes sense

Lamentations 3:21-26 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.

Madelyn's place of rest looks very peaceful and the valentine stuff is great, I am sure she loved it. I will go visit her when I get home next. I miss her very much, but I am trying to just think of all the fun times we had together and not get sad, because I know that that is not what she would want!

The pictures are beautiful. Thank you for sharing! You can see Maddie in little Ella, who looks like a big girl in her fancy "big girl seat." The pink with the leopard print looks like something Maddie would pick out herself!
Thinking of you daily and praying for you all, and I look to the heavens every day as I think of Princess Maddie. The other night I saw two shining stars beside each other; it was like one was Maddie and the other was my "Mam-Mam." When she passed in 2000, a girl who had roomed with her at the hospital had written a poem that mentioned when you look to the stars and see the first bright one of the evening, then that would be Mam-Mam. So when I see a bright star first thing in the evening, I softly say, "Hi Mam-Mam." The other night, I added another hello, "Hi Maddie."
God bless your beautiful family and keep you in His loving care.

Ephesians 2:4-9 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Hello Dear Beamons!
Tyler is very good looking- you'll soon be chasing the girls off the doorstep and have to battle for phone time!
Ella sure is the picture of Maddie! What a cutie! Maddie's spirit lives on in this precious baby.As one other poster commented, you can see it in the sparkle of her eyes.
Sending hugs

Dearest Beamon Family
Just letting you know that you come to my thoughts often (that's the Lord's doing) and I ask the Father to bring comfort,stength & peace. I know that during this time it's so hard to feel God's presence but after you come out of this "thick dark fog" you will see that He has been with you all along the way. I know that God is increasing your faith as I read your journal entries and I will continue to ask Him to increase it even more. You are all such an inspiration and encouragement to me, so thank you for being faithful and trusting in the Lord. I hope that I can give you some encouragement and love just as you all have done for all who read you site.
Sending Lots of Prayers & Hugs!

I drove by Maddie's place of rest and saw the ballons and was touched--what a sweet celebration for Valentine's Day--I don't blame Tyler for wanting to ride his bike there-what a peaceful place and awesome hills!! Ella looks so much like Maddie--I can see her spirit shine through the pictures. I see a twinkle in her eye, perhaps the twinkle of her big sister?? What a little diva she is turning out to be--still reminds me of Maddie!! Still thinking of you and praying--We love you all!

I am so sorry for your loss. Here is a poem given to me a while ago....
"WHEN GOD CALLS LITTLE CHILDREN"
When God calls little children
to dwell with him above,
We mortals sometime question
the wisdom of his love
For no heartache compares with
the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world,
seem wonderful and mild
Perhaps God tires of calling
the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud,
before she can grow old.
God knows how much we need them,
and so he takes but a few
To make the land of Heaven
more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult still
somehow we must try,
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs
we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children,
Angels are hard to find.

Hello Brandi and family,
I'm thinking of you all and praying for you. Your family is never far from my mind. I think of Maddie and how she lived her little life to the fullest, and I am trying to do that every day with Amber. We sat down and did fingerpainting the other day, and I didn't mind getting paint embedded under my fingernails -- it made for good conversation at work! :).
Hope you are all well. We love you, and miss Maddie, too.
Much love, thoughts and prayers from PA,

Tomorrow is my birthday... my oldest daughter is expecting my grandson any time now... a friend of mine lost her husband yesterday to a heart attack and she is left with 6 year old twin daughters to raise... With so much going on it seems my mind is so full.... And yet, no matter what, I cannot stop thinking of Maddie! Thoughts of her are a sweet spot in each day that fills my heart and reminds me of God's love! Thinking of you and praying for you today as well as every single day!!!!

I was so sorry to see that Maddi passed but I am happy that she is no longer in pain. I have a son who passed from Neuroblastoma last April. It is very difficult but I know that he is no longer in any pain and free to be a kid again. God will direct you to the right path regarding living and working. I to have a hard time answering when people ask me how many children I have. I don't want to leave Ryan out and I don't want to put people in a difficult position so I say I have three children and one special angel. I pray that you all will find peace. So glad that Maddie squeezed your hand to say good -bye. I wish Ryan's ending was peaceful but it wasn't. God Bless, Danielle McCormick www.caringbridge/visit/ryanmccormick

WE think Maddie was here only six short years, but look at your guestbook. What we measure in years God measures in hearts. Look at all the hearts little Madelyn touched without even knowing the person. God sent her to do this and WOW what a job she did for him. God bless you.

I am so, so sorry. Please know that Madelyn has made many people live their lives in a much more loving and inspired way and that she will never be forgotten. I have been following her brave struggle for years now. As a mother, I can only imagine the heartache you must be feeling. Also please know that there are many lifting you up for strength. God bless you and your family. Much love.

Glasgow, Scotland - Sunday, February 17, 2008 12:35 AM CST
Madelyn is never very far from my thoughts. Sometimes it amazes me that a little girl who I have never met could touch me so deeply. My youngest daughter is 5 and I find myself hugging her a million times a day and telling her how much I love her. If you have ever been to memorial park funeral home in Memphis(my mother's ashes are in the scatter garden there), you'll see kids skateboarding through there is the summer. People walk their dogs and there is a huge goldfish pond. It is just a like a park. So I don't think there would be anything wrong with Tyler taking his bike out to where Madelyn is. I imagine she would like that very much. I promise Madelyn will be very much alive in my heart always. Every time I take AJ to build a bear I'll be smiling remembering her visit there(did I ever tell you AJ bought the same bunny a few weeks before Maddy did?)On another note, I am so glad that you found comfort and a home in Memphis. Though I live an hour away, Memphis will always be home to me. I hope that you find a wonderful job there and a home to call your own. God Bless you.

Brandi, I want to thank you too for sharing your Maddie with us. I learned of Maddie through someone else's caringbridge page and have followed along since your sister-in-law started the other page. I went to give blood on Valentine's Day & was just thinking abour Maddie and was looking in an O (Oprah) magazine & saw Maddelyn's picture. She was so cute and solemn. It was for St. Jude's. I'd never seen an ad with her on it before! (have on her web page when she's with Marlo Thomas) It made me happy & sad all at once. I just pray for ya'll every day & find much encouragement from your strength. Madelyn has such a life force and I know what you meant when you said she so wanted to live. I remember all the times when she was on the vent and it didn't look good and she'd pull through. I never ever have known anyone so brave at such a young age. I remember when you said she took her hand and hit her head and said she couldn't get past this dying thing... (I don't remember her exact words) but I know she was comforted by the fact that she was going to see Jesus and her friends where there was no hurt or sorrow. I look forward to meeting her up in heaven one day. Thank You so much for sharing her life with us. She lives in all our hearts with memories of her love for life. I'm sure she's been quite the lively one, as she always seems to be, with the other children that have gone to be with Jesus & I know that must be comforting to ya'll. She is just a precious child. Love, Joanie

The days go by since Maddie's passing and I still find myself checking this site every day and being so excited when there is an entry from you! I was watching Maddie's video with Bernie last night and I was crying... I have it saved in my favorites and I look at it often... Her little smile is so sweet and then her laugh is just angelic when he tells her not to be "eyeballing" his hat because she wasn't getting it! It is like she is not even gone! I could sit and watch it over and over just to watch her giggle! I know you must be in so much pain missing her but it is wonderful that you have so many precious memories of her! I just wanted you to know that thoughts of the princess still continues to touch my heart! Thanks for the updates!

Dear Brandi:
I have never signed here before. My name is Noel Holland. I was Melissa Thomason's roomate in college. I have kept up with Maddie's site from Evan's. I just wanted to tell you a few things about why your daughter's site was meaningful to me.
~I knew how important you, Maddie, and your family are to Melissa, Evan, and their family. Her wishes for prayers become my prayers too.
~ My sister just passed away on November 30 from her battle with Stage 4 gastric cancer. I was a huge part of her fight- and her husband and I were her main caretakers. I am very aware of cancer's impact- as I have seen it first hand.
Meredith had a caringbridge site too...www.caringbridge.com/visit/meredithjones
Caringbridge meant a great deal to our family.
~Your daughter is so beautiful- her smile and radience just shows the amazing spirit she has...for that spirit blessed everyone here who knew her, I know, but is floating on the clouds that her spirit is free of pain now.
~ I live in Orlando. Your daughter's love of the "princesses" just tugged at my heart.
I have never written before- even though I read your entries...but I was drawn to write you. Yesterday I got home from a trip, and picked up my mail. In the stack was a card packet- with coupons and such. Then I look down and see Maddie's smile- on a card from St. Jude in the stack. Her beautiful smile once again- encouraging people to donate to St. Jude. She impacts even the strangers who will get that card in the mail.
Anyway. I think of you all. Grief is an overwhelming thing. Bless you.
Noel

Dear Beamon Family,
My little friend Matty (7 years old) passed away 11 months ago. His family and friends call Matty's final resting place "Matty's Park". Whenever his family and friends go to see Matty to celebrate something or just to sit and talk with him or blow bubbles we are going to Matty's Park. It also is good for his little 3 year old brother knowing he is going to visit Matty at his park. Maybe the next time you go visit Madelyn and bring along the bikes, picnic blanket etc. you can feel more comfortable knowing that you are at "Madelyn's Park".
