Looking back .. thursday marks 11 years since kennedy has been gone. me and kennedy have been best friends anmd really close ever since we were little . he was the truest best friend i had ever had. i think about him all the time and all the memories we had together playing together all the time. he was always there for me at school . when i fouund out that kennedy had gone to be with the LORD i was devastated. the only friend i had that knew me the most was gone .. but i realized he was there with me still, and he always will be. i go and visit him every year on his birthday and if i can throughout the year, leaving little things everytime. one year i left a yellow cross necklace and on that day it was really cloudy , well as soon as i put the necklace down the sun came out and it was bright and shiny and i knew right then that he was there watching me and he will always be there watching over me protecting me , and he is my guardian angel. i love and miss you so much kennedy and i hope you have a wonderful birthday friday just dont party too hard :) i love you <3

Dear Rachael~I dont know if you remember me but we met here on line many years ago...Your sweet Kennedy was one of the children on my first "Wall of Courage". My beautiful son was Dakota Michael Gay. I just wanted you to know that I feel so much the pain in which you still go through and still find a way to count your blessings in all that our wonderful sons had done for so many and all whos hearts are touched by these AMAZING children. I truly understand about what you say in hearin a "song" can bring back floods of memories and how "dates" (days of the week & anniversaries) can rip you a part. I just wanted you to know that I REMEMBER your sweet boy and his brave fight.....and those of us "who get it" will NEVER forget him!!! I pray for many each & every nite but tonight it is ALL about YOU....The BEAUTIFUL momma to Kennedy!!!! God bless you my dear and I think if I could have one wish come true it would be be for us angel moms to be able to meet and share with one another because for that one time I would know that I am with a group that REALLY "gets" it!! My thoughts are with you as with so many that are on the same road we travel.
With luv through caring~

I found this site while looking for info on brain tumors as my friend's daughter is facing it for a third time. It is so hard to know what to say but I copied and posted your "what cancer cannot do" on her facebook page after she posted not to feel sorry for Jadyn(6). I noticed the date and I realized what you will be going through today. It does not matter how long we are here, some of us accomplish in 10 years what others never do in 100. May God give you strength for today and tomorrow.

Thank you for always being there for me and for thinking of Rachel. I so understand how you feel....he IS a part of you and you miss him....and as for those feelings every October...I think it has to do with our bodies kinda "go through it" again during those last days.
And I know what you mean about the dates falling on the right days of the week....just like 6 years ago, its like the same calendar! Rachel died on a Tuesday and her anniversary was on Tuesday. So here's some (((HUGS))) for you.

Rachael,
I found Kennedy's website sometime back and have begun reading it. I am amazed at all the work and love you have put into it. I especially enjoyed your account of our visit on Mothers Day, May 8, 2005. It was five years ago when I came to see you! I'll never forget how you went to your mother's closet and took out the picture of Kennedy and decided to hang it on your wall. It had been much too painful for you to hang it before then, but suddenly you had the longing to do it. I felt blessed that the message I had shared with you from God had in some way given you not only the strength, but the joy to hang a rememberance of him. I have read of your sad times and your happy times. My heart breaks to see how you have longed for your child. You are such a loving person. You have endured so much and God knows this. You are not alone. He is with you always and loves you unconditionally. Just as he does Kennedy's brother and sisters. Reading through the guestbook, I am amazed at all the people you have helped....all the mothers that have found your website in the middle of the night and have gotten comfort from it.

It is heartbreaking to lose a loved one....even more heartbreaking to lose a child. It is a pain that never goes away. I read one entry where you felt cheated. Cheated of all the time you could have had....all the birthdays, Christmases and other hollidays. I can only imagine your anquish. But Kennedy would be so proud of you. I read in one of your postings when you were feeling down, that you felt you had failed him at times. Sweetheart, we are not perfect, nor were never meant to be. We all get caught up in the "busyness" of life and sometimes we are not at our best. But, we do the best we can at the time. Kennedy loved you up until the day he left you, as you loved him. He knew you loved him and that you were there for him. You are such a wonderful comfort to so many people. You have alot to be proud of. You have endured the greatest heartbreak and you need to be gentle with yourself. Let the past lie where it belongs. God has chosen you to be a light to others. And you have done that. You are an amazing person! Take pride in what you have become. Remember always that God loves you and will be there for you. I wish you all the joy and happiness your heart can hold!

As this year's Relay for Life approaches, I look back at the beautiful memories of our KT as he danced until midnight at the first Relay for Life in Iowa Park. His memory is still an inspiration to our family and the town of Iowa Park.

Rachael...you are a shining example of perseverance in trials of this life. God will reward your love and determination to continue on the memory of our brave hero, Kennedy Tyler Kimbro. I love you, Mom

And someday we all will meet together there. Kennedy and your family are still in our thoughts and prayers even though time has been past.

Hi Rachel,
I found your caringbridge site and Kennedy's website through the aol support group. You've done a great job with it. I'm thinking you are located in the DFW area. If so, I thought you might be interested( if you have not heard of it already) in the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation Ride for Kids. The motorcycle ride is Oct 5 2008 at Grapevine Mills Mall. Email me if you are interested in any more information. You can also go to www.pbtfus.org

God Bless,

Dear Rachel, just read your son's page- Kennedy's Korner- wow, you are inspirational. I am scouting around for support and prayer for my friend's little one Ruby, she is 10 months old and being treated for medulloblastoma- it is not looking good- yet we know that isn't the end of the story- she is still breathing- just, my prayer is her mum meets Jesus through all this, expereinces his peace, that divine peace that passes all understanding- cos none of this stuff makes sense does it!? i THANK gOD FOR COURAGEOUS SOULS LIKE YOU WHO ARE ABLE TO SHARE THEIR STORY. Thankyou and may your family experience major blessings in 2008.

Thinking of you and Kennedy. I can't believe it will be 3 years soon. Thank you for signing Rachel's guestbook. Your message came at a time when I needed it most. I was struggling about my Faith and the things you wrote really helped me. I too miss our chats, the baby has me so busy, right now she is playing with some toys, so I actually have a few minutes.

Take care and please know that I think of you and your son all the time.

I found your website as I was searching tonight. Searching for answers. . . just as I have been since June 19, 2004 when my son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He knows the Glioblastoma Multiforme too. His name is Ryan,he will have his 14th birthday on May 21st, and we have a caringbridge website also. (caringbridge.org/visit/ryanotto)
The night before he had his second surgery December 15th of last year, one of the resident surgeons came into the room and explained to me that all we were doing was buying time. That he had already beat the odds once and that it would keep on coming back and he estimated that he only had maybe 1 1/2 years to live. It is now only been 5 months and doctors are telling me there may not be that much time. We are supposed to make the best of the good days and have as much fun as we can while we can. I am still in shock...Where are my other 13 months??? After all of this time, he has only just now begun to actually have signs of brain damage. His right eye doesn't want to open all the way and he is dizzy when he turns his head or gets up too fast. We decided this week he can't go back to school as it is just too tiring. He mainly sleeps and lays on the couch. (Eating me out of house and home thanks to decadron LOL). I read the poems on your Kennedy's website and I felt a bond with you even though we have never met. I have to know some things and start making plans for things a mother should never have to do. A mother should not have to bury her children. I would really like to talk with you one on one if you are interested. I have so many things going on in my mind and maybe only a mother would understand. I sure as heck cannot find any answers from friends and most of my family as they avoid us like the plague because I guess they don't want to think about the unmentionable or they can't handle the way Ryan looks. I just don't know. I hope that I can be as strong as you are and continue being a cancer advocate after my baby is cured from cancer, when he goes to meet Jesus. My whole life is dedicated to my son right now. I have a whole computer jammed with websites and links to information about cancer. I even made my MySpace page totally about Ryan and finding friends all over the world who share a common feeling...CANCER SUCKS! You can visit if you like www.myspace.com/uneek1966. I feel like I am an expert on this brain tumor...except that I don't know how to stop it. I hope someone does soon. I hope the studies my son has been in has taught someone a little bit more about this horrible thing that they can learn how to end it. I hope and I pray that no other mother has to go through this agony. Knowing when you are looking straight at your child who seems to look healthy... only he isn't ...he is dying. God Bless You and your beautiful family.

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

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


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

All my love,

Viks

I share in your sorrow. My younger brother, my twin spirit, left this world May 30, 2006. He had gliblastoma multiforme grade 4 when he was diagnosed April 12, 2006. We only had him six short weeks later, but he lives on in our hearts. Perhaps he has already made acquaintance with your Kennedy. My brother, Chet, loved to fish and hunt and would often mentor younger boys who had no father figure to influence their lives. God bless you.

Rachael,

Thank you for writing to me about my brainhospice.com site and that you had found it helpful when Kennedy was battling. I discovered your site through a bit of searching. How wonderful to "meet" your family, including your wonderful angel. I have three children, the youngest of whom, my son Kyle, was also born in 1994. Mom to mom, though I cannot imagine your pain, this sure does hit close to home for me and I'm sending you a long-distance hug. I read back through your journal entries. What a touching image it is that little "Nick" came to visit Kennedy and the other children. I've heard so many similar things over the years that it doesn't surprise me anymore, but it always fills me with awe. It's a comforting thought that none of us leaves here alone and that heaven sends little companions back when we are most fragile. Maybe Kennedy is another child's angel somewhere. Wouldn't that be something?

It was a pleasure to visit your site for Kennedy. I appreciate so much that you took the time to write. I will think of your brave boy next month when you celebrate him.

Just wanted to let you know I am thinking about your family this Memorial Day. Have a happy day.

Taps

Day is done
Gone the sun
From the Lakes
From the hills
From the sky.
All is well,
Safely rest.
God is nigh.
Fading light
Dims the sight
And a star
Gems the sky,
Gleaming bright
From afar,
Drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise,
For our days,
Neath the sun,

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



A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

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

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

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

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

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

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

We have just recently had a little neighbor boy that has passed away from the same terrible disease, hopefully someday they will be able to put an end to the little ones suffering and find a cure. What a wonderful site you have made for your little angel! God bless you and your family!!!

Just stopping by to let you know we are praying for you all!

These all had faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them a far off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had the opportunity to return. But now they desire a better, that is a heavenly country. God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

Rachel,

What a joy to hear such a likeminded faith. I was only at the site for a minute and I am already encouraged. It is almost 3 in the morning, and I've been having one of "those" nights where I'm up missing my daughter. I decided to scroll through the guestbook on Adrienne's site and pop in on other caringbridge pages listed there and see who I might encourage, but you have encouraged me. You are in my prayers.

Blessings,

Nichelle

Hi,
I am sorry for your lose. I too lost my five year old daughter Hayley. She died Dec. 24, 2005. She had a diffused intrinsic pontine glioma (brain stem tumor). I miss her so much the pain is unbearable at times. God had showed me that he was going to take her before I even knew there was a problem but I didn't want to accept it. He showed me Visions of her wearing one of her favorite outfits laying in a casket. She was diagonsed June 21, 2005. When she died that night I asked God "I don't understand did I not have enough faith?" He then showed me the Vision again. Which let me know it was not a lack of faith and it didn't matter what treatment we did He was going to take her. At the funeral one of my sisters closed her eyes to pray and saw Hayley wearing a beautiful white dress holding someone's hand and smiling. Later when she went to tell her husband about it He said I bet you saw the same thing I did. He said she was holding Jesus' hand and Hayley waved by to him. I know she's with Jesus and she's happy and healthy. But I will never get over losing her. God bless you.

Hi Rachel,

I just wanted you to know I shared the poem "Please say his name" to two other mom's who have lost their sons. They were so blessed and touched by it. I hope that is ok? I lost a brother when I was a young girl, and I KNOW firsthand how much it meant to my mom when people talked about him.

You have such an amazing faith, and walk in God's supernatural GRACE. I pray 2006 will bring you many wonderful memories of Kennedy and God will continue to use you to be such a source of inspiration and HOPE to so many. I know you have been to me!

Keep holding on to your hope,

Susan

I just finished reading the updates and was so moved. Your poems were just beautiful. Although I don't sign the guestbook often, I want you to know how very often you and your family are thought of and prayed for. What a great sense of comfort you must have to know that so many love and care for you.

I will be praying for the healing you were speaking of. I don't think any of us can ever know your pain, except those who have experienced it firsthand.

I still have drawings Kennedy made for me, and I love to look at them and remember him. Precious memories. Now he's a precious angel--very missed and remembered.

Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I like to think it was Rachel too. Rachel does have a pink dress that was her favorite. If you go on my site, and click the caringbridge photos, the top photo she is wearing a pink dress. you should look at it and see if that looks like what you saw. I went into your journal history and i couldnt find the day you were talking about. was it in your personal journal? I think it is so awesome that you had that dream and i am very glad that you shared it with me. it gives me hope....hope that i need. thanks.

I think Rachel and Kennedy are friends now and that is why I get that good feeling. I know...I sound strange...I just don't know how to put it into words the right way.

Rachael, I wanted to share this with you. It is called the 23rd Psalm-Defined:
The Lord is my Shepherd-(That's Relationship!)
I shall not want-(That's Supply!)
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures-(That's Rest!)
He leadeth me beside the still waters-(That's Refreshment!)
He restoreth my soul-(That's Healing!)
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness-(That's Guidance!)
For His name sake-(That's Purpose!)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death-(That's Testing!)
I will fear no evil-(That's Protection!)
For thou art with me-(That's Faithfulness!)
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me-(That's Discipline!)
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies-(That's Hope!)
Though annointest my head with oil-(That's Consecration!)
My cup runneth over-(That's Abundance!)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life-(That's Blessing!)
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord-(That's Security!)
Forever-(That's Eternity!)
We've got to face it--he's CRAZY about us!! With that kind of support, how can we ever go wrong?

It has been a while since I too have visited the site. Kennedy's darling picture, I miss him and Acy and Alexis. The family reunion will not be as bright this year without him there. The kids have usually so much fun, this year will be different for them, I feel there will be an emptiness. I am so sorry Alexis did not make cheerleader--I know she will indeed blow them away next year. Her gymnastics will help a lot. Tell her I am very proud of her . and tell Acy I am proud of him for his baseball--isn't he handsome?? Also let them know that I love them and I hope to see them soon!! Rachel and guys hang in there.

Hi,
I come to your site pretty often, but this is my first message. Your boy is precious.
Just wanted you to know we think of you and your sweet son often.
My daughter put his name on her list of friends. I hope that is OK with you.
May the Lord bless you, and keep you in His care.

Hi, I linked to your site from Emerald's page, which I linked to from some other caringbridge page. Some days I try to avoid them because it is painful to identify with the pain of missing your child who has gone to Heaven before you. But sometimes I just have to keep looking so I'll know who needs my prayers tonight. May God give you peace!

Blessings,

i wanted you to know that i had to stop by and look at your son. his photo always captures me. i can honestly see my daughter rachel wanting to be around him. i see his strength. that inner strength. it is a really powerful feeling i get.
i think of you often and i was wondering what you have been up to. How is the rest of your family doing?

Hi Rachael and family,
Just wanted to say hi and let you know that we continue to think about you. This part of the journey is so difficult and frustrating. Even when you think that you are at peace with it all, a wave just comes along and wipes you out. With God's goodness and grace we are picked up and dried off. We then walk with confidence that God will be there to pick us up again and again.

May God's light shine on you. May you see Kennedy's smile when you close your eyes. May you dream of Kennedy playing while you sleep.
Love and blessings~

Dear parents of kennedy, I read your web page and it brought tears to my eyes. my son has a JPA with only partial resection. You are in my prayers. Your strength and going on amaze me. i understand the sighs of the other kids about listening to something. my oldest is the same way when i want to talk about things. She is tired of it and just wants a normal life. I don't know if we know what normal is anymore. you are in my prayers.

Hello Kennedy. I just want you to know that little KheliJo is up in Heaven just looking for a sweet playmate to hang out with. She just got there in December so you may not have met her yet. Since ya'll both no longer have the ugly GBM tumors you can run, laugh and swing and enjoy the eternal sunshine there. I hope you find each other. Maybe someday you can come to your Mommy through a medium like Kheli did to me. I hope I'm not too bold in suggesting that and hope that I haven't offended anyone. Your Mommy loves and misses you very much. Send her a sign that you are watching over her and want her to smile again.

Love, Linda Dennis

Rachael, I am glad that you updated Kennedy's page. I know to put your own feelings and grief on the back burner for your children isn't the easiest thing to do when all you want to do is either cry, talk, shout or even sing. However, you are intune with how Acy and Alexis are feeling and with this unselfish act it makes it harder for yourself..but believe me you will cry, talk, shout and even sing for Kennedy. I pray for you and yours. For healing and guidance. As you said, the Lord is ahead of us on our path of life. I love ya'll, Mima

Hello!

Our home is still in chaos and my hand holds a paint brush way too often but we're getting there. Moving during the holiday season really isn't as easy as I thought. Thank goodness LaRae was very understanding about the lack of Christmas decorations. We had a tree with lights and stockings. But we also had a set of grandparents and that was the best!

LaRae has adjusted beautifully. I can't even imagine how difficult it was for an 8 year old to walk into a new classroom in a new town after Thanksgiving. She was awesome! Her teacher is a Godsend to us. We are behind in math but do a little extra homework almost every day and we're slowly getting her caught up. It would help if she had some excitment or even a bit more interest in the subject!

We had a cold white Christmas. It melted after a few 50o days. We got snow last week and it too is gone thanks to more of those 50o days. Turning colder and maybe snow again tomorrow.

We have family coming starting in February and they will be here one right after the other until late March. It will give us a great chance to check out the area...multiple times!

Wishing you all the best in 2005.

Hugs from Colorado Springs!

Sending prayers to Acy, Alexis and Claire. I am so sorry that you are facing such difficult times during the holidays. My little girl, Hadley, is 4 and she has a brain tumor too. I've checked up on Kennedy for quite a while now. God is personally taking care of a healthy happy Kennedy...now our prayers are for his loved ones here on earth. I know that Kennedy will be looking down on you all over the holidays. He's probably chuckling that he knows what gifts await you under the tree. You are such a sweet family. My prayers are with you!

Dear Rachael:
I have followed Kennedy's journey, and, although I'm sorry he is gone from earth, I'm glad that he is with Jesus. Kennedy will always be with you, remember all the good memories that you made as a family. Remember his courage, his wisdom so beyond his years, and his love for his family. Rachael, I just think that you are a great Mom. I'm so sorry for your pain, and pray that you will find peace and comfort.

Dear Rachel--
It is so hard for even me to let go and I am the Great Aunt. I know your loss of precious Kennedy has to be unbearable at times. My Mother--Kennedy's Great Grandmother lost three children during her life. She told me that you go through every emotion there is. At times you will be sad, angry, frustrated, depressed. It will take time to deal with Kennedy's passing. You need to allow youself to have whatever emotion and feel any guilt about it. You have lost a precisous child. We know he is running and playing healthy as ever with Jesus, but we miss his physical touch. I want you to know that I am praying for all of your family and Byron's family. May you all enjoy the memories of Kennedy and one day rejoice with him in heaven.

Their siblings are really amazing and sometimes beyond our understanding. Knowing not any word will comfort, the only thing we can offer is our heartfelt prayer. May God fill your hearts with peace and beautiful memories of your beloved Kennedy until the day we meet again. Please know we remember your family always.

Rachael,

I am so sorry to hear of your personal struggle. That fog will lift when you are ready to deal with life the way it is now. I can't imagine the pain and loneliness you are dealing with. I hope that with the love of family, friends and your faith in God, you will see the new path you will be going down in life. If for now that path isn't clear to you, that's okay too. You deal with your grief the best way you know how and it's not going to be the same as anyone else. We are all individuals and we handle life in our own way...there is no right or wrong way.

Know that I care about you and pray for you and your family.

Hugs,

A Wonderful Way To Explain Death:

What a wonderful way to explain it.

A sick man turned to his doctor,as he was preparing to leave the
examination room and said,

"Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."




Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know."

"You don't know? You, a Christian man, do not know what is on
the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side
came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door, a dog
sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness.


Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my dog?

He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside.
He knew nothing except that his master was here,

and when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know
little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one

thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough."

READ AND RETURN May today there be peace
within you.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet
when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.

Peace be with you,

Happy Birthday Kennedy!

Dear Rachel and family, I would like to share with you the lyrics from one of Twila Paris' songs...
~~~~~~~~~~~
A Visitor From Heaven

A visitor from heaven
If only for a while
A gift of love to be returned
We think of you and smile

A visitor from heaven
Accompanied by grace
Reminding of a better love
And of a better place

With aching heart and empty arms
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came.

A visitor from heaven
If only for a day
We thank him for the time he gave
And now it's time to say

We trust you to the Father's love
And to His tender care
And in the everlasting arms
We're so glad you're there
We're so glad you're there

With breaking heart and open hands
We send you with a name
It hurts so much to let you go
But we're so glad you came
We're so glad you came

Twila Paris- Beyond A Dream

Peace be with you all.

My Dearest Kennedy! You were only my precious little boy for a short time, but you are now my precious little Angel for eternity! I know you are not afraid any more! I am positive you have found the Cheetoes already. Eat some for me! Your mom will be OK and even though she may cry some selfish tears off and on, she is rejoycing in her heart and awaiting the day she will see you again. My precious little Angel, Kennedy. I Love you very much. Kiss!! Kiss!! Meet me at the Gate.

Dear Rachael,
I've never met you or Kennedy and I know I missed out on not knowing him. But I have kept you all in my prayers, and felt very strongly yesterday to pray specifically for you and your family. Now I understand the timing as I heard today he passed to be with our Lord. It's an inspiration to read your entries in the journal and see your faith! What an incredible mother-I could never imagine. I know Kennedy is looking down and smiling and wanting us to understand that he would want us to turn our sorrow to joy as he is healed!!! Praise God for the promise we all can have and Kennedy is experiencing it just now!!! You will continue to be in my prayers....

In his name,

I am so sorry for your loss. I only just recently found Kennedy's website. I lost my own son to a GBM brain tumor in 2001. He was born 12/1/94. Kennedy's photo on the first page of this site reminds me so much of him when he was sick. In this short time, I've seen what a wonderful mother you are, as I know exactly what you have been going through. I have been praying for you and your family and will continue to do so.

Dear Rachael and family,
Nothing is more difficult than seeing our child take off. Kennedy knows how much you love him and God knows, too. You have done the best you can do. Knowing "Our times are in Thy hands" we are sure that God knows the best time. He is preparing Kennedy's and your hearts in His embracement. Before Esther's final departure, her Mom has ever made the same prayer like you did. We know how heartbroken and tough that prayer is. However we also learned that prayer is full of abundant love, mercy and grief. We are still here praying for your family. May God's faithfull grace and peace accompany you during this gloomy and storming time.

My Dear Kennedy, Byron, Rachel, Acy, Alexis ,and Claire

At this time we want you to know that we are praying for you all. We saw Kennedy on Sunday and although He was awake for a few minutes He was not in the "mood" to talk. After His medicine took hold then he slept very soundly. Ted and I just want you all to know how much we love you and how our hearts ache at this time for you. Wishing there was more that we could do and knowing that only God can can heal and help you at this time and in the future. God's will is that Kennedy be healed on the other side. We know Kennedy will be in a beautiful , peaceful, painfree heavenly home when God's time is ready. That still saddens us as you and we will miss him greatly. Mom Rachel, Daddy Byron, brother Acy and sisters Alexis and Claire will miss him greatly. He has touched a many hearts with his life. I still see this litlle boy who had such little short legs popping up and down from behind the couch to pick at Ted and I. All the holidays and family reunions. Last May--Kennedy sticking that stinking crawdead (I'M not sure thats correct spelling) up at me to scare me. He got such a laugh at that. And then the chinese gift exchange when Kennedy hid his pokemon gamboy game so no one could get it from him---Little stinker. It has all been fun for us over the years. And Family as your life now changes my prayers are that you will turn to God for your answers to all the questions you may have. This road will not be an easy one. Kennedy will forever live in our hearts as the other loved ones who have gone on before us do. We love you all very much.

happy birthday Kennedy,I hope you are having a great time.
I wrote you last night,not sure what happened to my entry.I had spoke to your daddy one day and he loves you so much.He is so proud to get to spend more time with you now,living arrangements before caused him not to be able to spend quality time with you but now I believe he will be there as much as you want him there and more.Always remember,it is not always about how much time is spent with a loved one it is the quality of time.Your daddy has made some mistakes in his life but so has everyone,not one of us are exempt from mistakes but to be able to face up to them and go to God for forgiveness is the most important step in life.When we do things that are wrong we are the only ones that can change that course of life.Kennedy,I want you to know you are a very special child with a lot of people that loves you. JOHN 3-16 FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS SON THAT WE MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. God made a huge sacrifice for us and i believe you are also giving a huge sacrifice of yourself with your personality and smile,all the innocence,my prayer is that this does not go unnoticed by people around you,I pray their eyes will be opened to compassion,love,respect,trust for one another and eternal life.We are all going to be where you are today and I pray we will all be ready. GOD says you cannot get to heaven with even a small piece of resentment in your heart.Please everyone do not let Kennedy go through all this suffering in vain.I LOVE YOU.

Hello Kennedy. I am on the PBT board. My little girl, Hadley, has a brain tumor too. She just had a birthday as well. We LOVE birthdays in our family. Sounds like you're quite the popular guy these days. I hope your "real" birthday goes well. We were supposed to be walking in the Relay For Life here in CA, but now Hadley has to go back in for another surgery. You are such a brave young man. Know that we are thinking about and praying for you daily. So many times I have hoped that I could just travel around and give hugs to all of "our" kids.

With love and HOPE~

Hello all,
I am posting this tonight to let you all know I am thinking of you. But this note has another purpose. Many people read these messages and I want them all to know what an awesome Mom Rachael has been throughout the ordeal she has faced. She has been so strong...not only for Kennedy, but for Acy, Alexis, and Claire. What wonderful children she has! I have told her what a wonderful job she has done holding it all together during these trying times but I want everyone who visits this site to be aware of it also. I have never seen a stronger woman in my life. Credit can also been given to her parents for the role they played in all of this. What a truly remarkable family!!
Love you all,
Darla

Dear Rachel,
I read your entry on Kyle's web; I am so very sorry about your son Kennedy. I wanted to send you lots of hugs as you have just separated from your son. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you not to have your son next to you as it has always been. Nice to know he will be able to go out at the Hospice Centre; fresh air and sun rays are so very important for the body and especially for the soul. Thinking of you all in this little town in Italy. HUGS.

Hello!

I've been following caring bridge sites for a year; since a friend's son relapsed with leukemia last summer. In a very long about way, I found your site from Chance. I looked at your picture and thought it said Iowa Park and sure enough, your address shows just that.

So let me rephrase this; Hello Neighbor!

The Air Force brought our family to WF and we have been here for 4 years. Of course, that means we were close to having to leave. It looks like we'll be moving to Colorado Springs either in November or January.

My husband's secretary lives in Iowa Park and she has gotten us hooked on Fischer's for lunch. :+D

Wishing you a peaceful weekend.

Hugs!

Dear Kennedy and Rachael,

Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. We just want to tell how much both your faith and braveness have inspired many people like us. We want to let you know we love you so much, because we know for sure Jesus loves you the most without any doubt.
Dear Lord, please help us all to realize that You love us completely and that as we trust in You we will find the inner strength and comfort from You. Amen.
You are in our prayer and thoughts.

"The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."(Deuteronomy 31:8)

Hi Kennedy!
Just wanted to write you a quick note to say hello from a fellow Texan. My daughter is also on the COTP website. Her name is Cassandra. Like you, she is a such a blessing from God. I wanted to let you know that I think about you everyday even though you don't know me. I see that you like getting mail so I thought I might ask the kids in my Sunday school class to draw some pictures for you (they are in kindergarten) and ask the 3rd grade class to write you some letters and maybe even make you some cards. I know once I tell them about you, they will also think about you and pray for you everyday.

In Christ,

Just to tell you a little bit about the hero's in my family- My youngest sister Jessica,has Muscular Dystrophy and has been living with this disease for 21 years now. She is a senior at Villanova and studying to be a psychologist. My Dad, Tom, is not only one of my hero's, but more importantly, my guardian angel- he fought the battle against GBM for over a year and is know with God watching over all of us. We are all so blessed to have the time that we do with one another- and no matter what challenges we are faced with there is nothing that love can not overcome! Shower one another with love!!! Thank you for being for my hero Kennedy!

Dear Kennedy and the Skorner Family,
I was so touched by your story. I wanted to share a neat poem with you.. But first I wanted to tell you a bit about my family and I. My name is Julie. I am married to Danny and we have 2 boys. Morgan (13) and Mason (12). My Dad has glioblastoma multiforme (was diagnosed 1-21-04). My Brother Bobby who had a brain tumor at age 3 was diagnosed with leukemia as a result of it and went to live with the angels when he was 11. (He would have celebrated his 32nd b-day this past Sept. 4th).
So, seeing this handsome young Kennedy, touched our hearts so much. We wanted to write and share this poem with you... It's called "BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE"
The world is full of miracles to those who recognize them,
But we have to look the right way since God sometimes will disguise them.
He shines his light in places where we'd least expect Him to, And often does the opposite of what we think He'll do.
He has a way of bringing out the best within the worst
The moment we stop worrying and choose to put Him first, And if we do, He'll pull us through and help us find the door that opens to the very thing that we've been looking for.
Sometimes things happen that are hard to understand, but I believe that your faith will see you through.

One of my favorite quotes is, "Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away".
We are praying for you sweet Kennedy. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time..
With much love and hugs,
The Lindstrom Family

Hello Kennedy, I found your website, and felt the need to write you. My Dad was also diagnosed with GBM, and I have been trying to find as much info. as I can about it.You know,Kennedy,for some reason I always thought cancer only happened to older people. I guess that's the way a lot of people think,who've never had to experience cancer before. It makes me realize how many of us go through life with blinkers on. I realize I have been very selfish. I had been feeling so sorry for myself, when I should have been thanking God for the years I had my Dad with me. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I pray for you and your family. Never stop beleiving! I won't. Love,Suzy

Okay Kennedy! I think you have the right idea---school in your pj's! Think Mrs. Brandt would let me get away with that? Probably not! I have been going to school myself at MSU the last few weeks so I havent had much time for anything else. Do you think I am tooooo old to be in school? Dont answer that unless your answer will make me feel good! I am ready for school to start though. Mrs. McIlroy is the new PreK teacher that I will be working with this year. I am really excited. She is sooo sweet. Do you remember much about your PreK year? I sure do. Yours, Acy's and Alexis'. Cant wait to have Claire in a couple of years!

Kennedy, Hope you like your new spongebob sandals! Everytime I see anything with spongebob on it, I think of you and how he makes you smile. You have the best smile! Everytime I see you feeling good and smiling, it makes me happy and thankful that God is helping you to be the bravest boy I have ever known. Thanks for giving me courage just by watching you keep on going with a smile.

It was so good to have fun at Annie's birthday party. She really liked your gift and getting to see you made her party extra special.

Tell mom, Alexis, Acy and Claire to smile today and be happy like their brother, Kennedy.

You are loved by so many people, Kennedy because you are so very special in our hearts.

I will be thinking about you and praying for you in my dreams. Night Night sweet boy. LOve, Mimi

hello to my favorite kennedy in the whole wide world! guess what! i saw you last night in my dreams! you were in the green wagon hanging on for dear life! lauren was pulling you as fast as her legs would go. your hair was standing straight up and we were all laughing and having so much fun!
boy do i need you help with this crazy dog, dogzilla! she ate three shoes! one of mine, one of noel's and one of jessalyn's! she wouldn't eat just a pair, she had to sample one of three pairs of shoes! she is driving me crazy. she also ate my sweet potato plant and the plastic lid to a spray paint can. tonight she ran outside of the fence and was running up and down the ally like a crazy person, and i was too, for about 3 or 4 times, she would run up to me like she was going to let me touch her and then dash off back down the alley! i decided that if anyone needed to run it was noel and lauren, so i hollered for them to come help me. guess what, that crazy dog runs up the first time noel calls her, she was all happy and tail waggy like she was sooo happy, and wanted back in the yard sooo bad! she is a mess!
well my dear friend, i must get to bed so i can go to work tomorrow. hey, look for me and the girls in your dreams tonight --- i will be looking for you in mine!
i love you always!

Hey Kennedy,I just heard about your web page,This is great.I pray for you every day.I keep in touch with your grandmother kimbro,she loves you as much as the stars.I understand things are not so great tonight,my heart aches for the whole family.I cannot begin to imagine the heartaches each and every one of you are going through but i do know GOD is there with all of you,just simply by allowing him to come into your hearts.At this time a lot of emotions are running but lay them all at the foot of the cross and JESUS will take your burdens and carry you.Heaven is a beautiful place,a place where i hope we will all one day reunite together but as of today we all have our faith and hope of tomorrow as long as we let JESUS enter and lead us.This is the time when family and friends should pull together, not further apart.My greatest prayer tonight is that kennedy is at peace and resting well and that all hostilities can be laid to rest.please do not let this baby die in vain.He is such a loving child,a very prcious angel for GOD to have,GOD loans us these angels for ever how long He believes is necessary for a soul to be reached.Please lets all pray, Dear Lord,I thank you for all the blessings you have bestowed upon us,i thank you for being a just God and a forgiving God,please help me be forgiving and thankful.please keep us all safe in your bosom from danger and harm,if from words or physical,help us to start every day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude.help us to make the bestof each and every day,help to clear our minds so i can hear you speaking,keep us uplifted that we have words of encouragement for others,i pray for those that are misjudged and misunderstood,that are lost and cannot find their way,i pray for those that do not know you. I believe that God changes people and situations if we have faith and it does not have to be much,my God tells me if i have as much faith as the size of a mustard seed,He will hear and answer,I pray all these things in Jesus name AMEN Love you all,Aunt Susan

Hey Kennedy,
How is my favorite student? I loved seeing you at Track & Field. Could you hear my message on the bull horn? I do miss you and love you. It was just wonderful looking up and seeing you up top. I saw you earlier on the other side before seeing you at the end. I also saw you at Relay for Life. I couldn't get to you, you were surrounded by friends and family. Is Spongebob doing ok? When you wrap up with it, think of me wrapping my arms around you.
Take care and continue to have fun. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Miss Wood

Hi Kennedy,
You are the bravest person I know. I am so glad I got to see you play a little soccer today. I know how scary it was to get out there but you did and that other team did not score a goal on you. You are such an inspiration to everyone around you. You are truly very couragous. You are such a perfect gentleman. I enjoy our visits and our time together. Faith likes to visit you, too. She thinks you are really very nice and gentle with her. She knows you like all animals and that makes you very special to her. (Faith is my little dog). Kennedy, you were also so very brave when you went to the Hospice Center. I admire you so much. You are a hero. Your family, friends, schoolmates, caregivers, and everyone who meets you loves you so very much. You make such a wonderful impression to everyone you meet. I pray for you and your family often. I am always just a phone call away if you or your mom needs me. I am so glad God put our lives together. I will see you very soon. Anything you need at all don't hesitate to call.
With love,
YOUR Marsha

We had so much fun that day!!!! We have many memories to share, good memories!!!! I wish I could see you and make more happy funny memories. I have your picture here on the desk so I can see you everyday and smile and send you my love. I love you and tell everyone I love them too...hugs and kisses!!!!! oxoxoxox Mima

Hi Kennedy, Robin Walker told me about the web site and I just think that is cool. I had breast cancer and I took Chemo and Radiation. My hair fell out. But you know what I didn't let that bother me, I didn't wear a wig because it was too hot. At home I just ran around with a bald head. My kids thought it was funny. I think my Husband was embarrassed that people would see me with no hair. But you know what I thought, that those people didn't know what I was dealing with. So, you hang in there, it really does get better. Thinking of you, Rebecca Bucchi

Dear Rachael,
I found your site and needed to respond and tell you that my wife and I share your pain.Our son Rusty had suffered a brain hemorhage in Feb. 2003 and we too ride that emotional roller coaster that I am certain you are on.There are just no words to discribe the feelings of a parent in times like this.In our sons case his hemorhage has left him totaly paralized on his right side and has taken his ability to speak. In all this darkness there is always renewed hope and God has been good to us since that tragic day with first his miraculous survival and his inspirational fight to recover.We shall be praying for Kennedy and your family and hope that there is another miracle from God to be delivered for your son very soon.
God Bless you all,
Rusty's Dad

Dear Kennedy, I have heard so much about you from my grandson Jackson Poole. I love your sweet website and you certainly have a lot of friends that care about you a lot!

Kennedy,
Hi. We are Jackson's mom and dad, Gretchen and Scott Poole. We just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and think you are a very special boy! You are such a hero and a true warrior. Jackson talks about you all the time and misses you very much. We remember seeing you at your birthday party and how much fun you were having. Jackson's dad is a policeman who got shot a couple months ago. Some people say he is a "hero" but he thinks that you are the real "hero". Stay strong "big man".
