Hey Maggie,

Just wanted to say that I'm thinking of you. My boyfriend was recently diagnosed with cancer and I've been in the hospital with him while he gets chemo. Thinking of you, your incredible strength, and your contagious smile keeps me going. Thank you for making me strong :)

All my love,
Stella

I'm happy to see Maggie's page is still here. I've been thinking of her a lot since I was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago and am fighting my own battle these days. It hasn't been easy, and when I have bad days I think about how positive and brave she was. Remembering her strength usually pulls me out of my little pity party and ends up putting a smile on my face. Thank you Maggie.

Hey Maggie,

Tomorrow I'll be buzzing off my hair to raise money for the MACC Fund. When I heard about Buzz Cuts For Cancer at Shorewood I knew that we needed to start it at Bay. We have 8 girls buzzing their hair along with girls doing locks of love and guys buzzing their hair off. I'm really excited but really scared too. Help me stay strong, ok? I love you and miss you...a lot. I think about you everyday.

All my love,

Hi Cindy,
I was looking through some photo albums and came across a picture from halloween 1999 of Maggie, Megan, Bobby and a bunch of the other neighborhood kids taken in front of the Anderson's by the big pine trees. Good memories.

This morning I was complaining about exams and thought of Maggie. I realized that she didn't get the chance to go to high school or take the exams that I dread. She makes me understand each day that I'm lucky. I hope to live with the passion and energy that Maggie had. I hope everything is going well and that the Wisconsin winter hasn't made you crazy like it has me.
Love,

Team Maggie,

Last think I thought about last night was Maggie
and the first thing I thought
about this morning was Maggie. The
girl is never far from my thoughts :)

Went to Relay for Life last Friday. I made a luminary for
Maggie again this year. She will always shine bright.
Sending positive vibes your way...also sending hugs.

She is very missed. But, I know she is watching over
someone and keeping her strong :)

Just a long time lurker signing in and confessing that I still check your site regularly. I just wanted to let you know there are lots of us still lurking and thinking of you guys daily. In case you didn't know our mutual little friend Jessie spent her first week at Maggie's camp this summer and by all reports loved it. Just thought that was worth passing along in case you hadn't heard from her mom Jackie. :)

Hey cindy,
so glad we didn't have to send out the search parties. Speaking of parties, I recently went to a small One Step fundraiser gettogether and meaghan brennan, Breann, Penny, Annie Gabuzzi, and Ashley Gold were all there. We talked about camp and Maggie and had a good time. Mexico sounds like a blast and I'm really glad that you two got to get away for a while. I'm shaving my head again this year in honor of Mags. I'll try to snag you a picture.

Dear Cindy, Thinking of you and Maggie on Thanksgiving Day; it seems that holidays are forever changed when someone special is no longer with us at the table -- although, of course, they are with us in spirit and in so many small ways every minute of the day. Your description of the memories contained in your car was bittersweet. When my husband was battling cancer, I found my way to a few caringbridge sites that somehow mirrored the journey we were on, but none spoke more to me than the story of you and your beautiful daughter. I think of her often, so much grace under pressure. Blessings to you today and during the holiday season.

�If we could, by some wonderful force from heaven, be allowed to slip from this earth in our present state and into the glory of heaven, we would not find one shred of evidence that reveals panic. You would never once hear �oops� from the lips of God, or �I wonder what we�re going to do about that down there?� Nor would we ever observe anxiety across the face of the living God. We would be stunned with amazement at how calm things are around his throne.

From this side of glory we see the tapestry of life from underneath. It is full of knots and twisted threads and frayed ends that lack meaning and beauty. But from God�s perspective, looking at the top of the fabric, it is all under control.�
From Encouragement for life by Charles Swindoll�

May you see that glory of God in your life today�.

Cindy,

I just remembered something. I signed in on 8-21 and mentioned Maggie's birthday. I am so sorry. Of course I wanted to sign in and write something about the anniversary of her passing. Her resting place sounds peaceful, surrounded by family.
Take care.

Team Maggie,

Its a beautiful day here in Utah today, not only for the Sabbath day but also celebrating Steve & Hayli's Birthday. Hayli said to me today when getting ready for church "Mom today was the day Maggie was laid to rest" I thought for a minute how sweet that she remembered Maggie on this day. How very unselfish of her. Hayli is such a good sweet girl that I hope she will always remember Maggie on her Birthday too. I hope you have blessed day and may you continue to feel our thought and prayers! Lots of love to you all.

Hello Team Maggie!

I have been thinking of Maggie so much these past couple of weeks! I was doing hair and had to go and pick up some supplies and Hayli went with me she had said to me "Mom remember when I put pink in my hair for Maggie?" I said yes I do... Hayli said can I do it again for her? I got tears in my eyes and thought OF COURSE YOU CAN!!!! How could I not let her show her support and love for such a wonderful and courageous young women! The entire time I was doing Hayli's hair I thought of Maggie! We so love and miss you! May you continue to feel her love and support! Heavenly Father loves all of you and is there for each and everyone of you!!! He loves you so very much! Its crazy to think that it has almost been a year since she has physically left us but she will continue to be with us in Spirit and in our Hearts! We love and care for you all!!! God Bless You at this time!
Lots of love and tears are being shed here in Bountiful for you and your family at this! We love you!

Peacock #1 and I cried a lot together. By the way, I have officially been accepted as a Peacock. I'll have to stock up on feather earings and pajamas. We all miss her so much.

Could those of you who have seen the mural tell me if it is visible from outside the school or would I have to go inside to see it (inside a building)? I may be in Madison later this summer and may drive over to see the mural, if I could do so.

i thought of maggie today when i was making tye dyes with hollis and her sister catherine... it was so funny. i didn't use gloves and my hands were multi colored. so catherine and myself had dye on our hands and we tried getting it off. leave it to hollis to "try" to help us get the dye off our hands. she gave us every possible thing you could find in her laundry room. i thought of maggie all through out the entire time. so hope you and the family are doing well. you guys are in my thought and prayers always.

Cindy,

I am sorry that I couldn't make the dedication ceremony for the mural at the middle school. I was visiting WFBMS with my students on Thursday, however, and saw it. It made me smile -- it's every bit as bight and dynamic as Maggie. I talked with Jeff Truel and he told me how lovely and fitting the dedication was. That painting will always stand as a testament to Maggie and her courage.

I hope to see you soon; it's been a while. I'm still thinking of you, though.

It makes me feel peaceful to think about the Middle School mural being in place as a beautiful reminder of a beautiful spirit. I look forward to seeing a photo of it (for now) and someday will see it in person. (My middle school had a mural that I still remember vividly, so I think it is a wonderful way to keep your daughter's memory present.)
Once again, I appreciate your keeping this page up for this lurker who continues to find meaning in Maggie's life.

Dear Cindy & Team Maggie-

Thank you so very much Cindy for the update on here! It was so great to hear from you. I check in almost daily to see if there is any word from you (anxious to see how things are going). I think of you all often and have you all in my thoughts and prayers. I love spring for the fact of it being a new beginning for things, the freshness of new flowers and singing birds the smell in the air! I just love it. I hope you are doing as well as can be expected! I hope you know that I love you all and think of you all the time. I'm not sure if I had said that I started selling jewelry for LIA SOPHIA. I was getting to the point that I needed a "mommy break". I love my children dearly and wouldn't change if for anything but I know that EVERY MOM NEEDS "MOMMY TIME" just to enjoy things for ourselves once in awhile. Its not being selfish its just something that makes us feel better and makes us be better parents. I hope you are able to enjoy things for YOU and know that Maggie is there with you all the time! Lots of love and hugs are still being sent your way to ALL of you!!!! May God continue to bless you and comfort you all!

Love forever,

I love to see updates! I would also love to see a picture of the mural in Maggie's honor...if it wouldn't be too much trouble to maybe post it on here?
We have also been working in our yard, trying to get the back yard finished. We just need to spread out the topsoil and then get some hydro-seed. It's been hard work but I enjoy it and it will be so nice to be able to hang out back there.
Hudson has horrible hives right now and we haven't figured out what from. It looks like we'll be making our 3rd trip in 5 days to the doctor tomorrow. I hope we can figure out what is causing them.
Jeff and I celebrated our 7th anniversary in Park City this weekend. We went into a few art galleries and it made me think I need to get painting again. It's so hard for me to get inspired and/or motivated. And to find time when I'm a mommy to a 2 year old! But I should just quit making excuses and just do it.
Still sending love and prayers,

Hi Cindy, I know I see you and speak to you often enough at work and at social events........but I thought I would share something very touching with you. The other day when you and Betsy came over for knitting group.........Jorge reached up and hugged the both of you without any prompting from me. He did that totally on his own. This isn't something he does very frequently........But every once and a while, he takes a special liking to certain people.....You and Betsy happen to be two of those individuals. In my book....that makes the two of you some pretty special people!

I recently returned from the Washington DC advocacy trip with One Step. I met so many inspiring people there, and a lot of them reminded me of Maggie. I think of her every day and I miss her so much. Thursday was my 12-year remission anniversary. I know Mags was there congratulating me. I still think about the time at summer camp when we taped the boys' doors shut.
Stay strong.

I am also glad to see an update!
I've been out working in the yard a little, mostly pulling weeds before they think they belong there. The weather here hasn't made up it's mind if it's winter or spring, but I am thankful for the days it decides it's spring. I love it.

Dear Maggie,
Happy Birthday!! Sorry I couldn't sign in earlier but I was visiting friends in South Carolina, and I wanted to make you a cake but I didn't want to ask them to get cake mix, so I'm dedicating my ice cream that I'll be having to you!!! Hope you're having fun in Heaven. We all miss you a lot, but I'm sure it's great up there. Anyway, happy belated b-day!!!! oh yeah, I got this great necklace that has a turtle, and I wish there was some way you could have it. It would be a great birthday present. Anyway, love,

Dear Team Maggie and especially Maggie's mom,

I wanted you to know that Maggie was remembered on her birthday and we think of her often, as her Caring Bridge site is one of our bookmarks. Although her birthday is a difficult and sad time, I hope your memories were of comfort to you. There aren't a lot of words to offer, but caring journal entries about your daughter conveyed her spirit and strength, and she is still a bright star on the computer screen and in our hearts and in the sky above. My thoughts are with you.
Leigh (and the Pancake Bunny)

This past week, I was skiing in Colorado, and I frequently thought about Maggie skiing in Utah! She definitely had the skier at heart - the ski trips were always on the forefront of her mind! Wishing you a happy (belated) Easter. Happy Birthday Maggie!

I just wanted to drop in and tell you all I love you and you all have been on my mind the past few days! I think its because Maggie's birthday will be here in a couple of days. It's just still so hard to believe she is physically not with us. I know she is with us and watches over you all! We love and miss her so very much! Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you! May God watch over and comfort you at this time! Lots of love comes to you from the Chaffin Family!

Hi Cindy, I am still weekly checking the website and thinking of you (and of course Maggie too!) I still have a picture of Maggie and I from graduation on my bulletin board next to my desk at school, and I frequently look at it and smile, Maggie was so fun and I so enjoyed our time we had in school together, thanks for sharing her with me :) I know I will always keep her picture up next to my desk, because she was such a great inspiration to me on what true courage was and she still is for me. Have a good Easter.

Warm weather! Finally!! I love it! I planned on coming to

and that happens to be on the same weekend!! So, I guess
I won't be seeing Dave Matthews at Alpine Valley this
summer....I have bigger things to do....find a cure for
this f#(*$& cancer :) I want you to know we would LOVE
it if maybe, just maybe you would like to come to MN
on 8-08-08 and join us. Can't forget that date!
Just a thought...you should see all the bags of Mags on
our track :)
Keep going Cindy...Mags still gives off her strength..she
still keeps us strong.

Dear Cindy,
I still check on Maggie's page almost everyday, watching for updates. I know you must be busy, but thank you for keeping us posted.
I'm glad the sun is starting to shine here, and the snow is almost gone. I hope things are starting to brighten up where you are, as well.
I turned 26 a couple of days ago and I decided I am going to do all I can to be a new me: healthier, thinner, happier, kinder, more patient, more adventurous, more artistic (not listed in order of importance, of course!). I've just decided I need to make more out of my life, and quit saying "I wish" and actually "do". I'm sure Maggie would agree. She was a good example of that. I will think of her when I am discouraged in reaching my goals (because I'm sure that will happen!)to help give me a boost of determination!
Lots of love,
Nichole Walker <duckie3nb@yahoo.com>

Hi Cindy-
I still check your website often. It seems like you are keeping busy, I can't even imagine how many hats and scarves Maggie has. Everytime she would come for radiation she would have a different color scarf on : ) She was so colorful! Making quilts out of clothes/scarves is a great idea. My mom actually had a lady make stuffed teddy bears out of my grandpas old flannel shirts, needless to say it is a great keepsake. Take care, thanks for the update on the website.

Thinking of you, Cindy. It was so great to see Betsy and the family in Utah for a bit. Betsy was wonderful, such a terrrific listener. Daea is running around emptying all my cupboards these days. Right now she is walking in a big circle, drumming on a pickle lid with a spoon. She really cracks me up.

Dear Cindy!
It has been awhile since I have dropped in! My computer crashed so I had to wait till I got a new one! Glad to be back! Much love going out to you and all of TEAM MAGGIE! While Betsy, Chris & Deann were here in Utah I got to see them and on that day me and all my girls had our T-shirts on that we had made for the family. They were a tribute to Maggie and on them they say in big PINK letters...
CANCER SUCKS
Maggie Schumann
March 31,1993 - August 18,2007
Early on in the evening I don't think everyone saw the entire shirt they only read the Cancer Sucks part I started to second guess myself in having the shirts done and then I thought NO I did this for MAGGIE!!!!!!!! I wanted to commend her for all that she had done and you know sometimes the truth hurts and cancer really does suck! But then when I was talking to my MOM Chris read the entire shirt. I hope they understood them after that! I will tell you this they are MY GIRLS' FAVORITE SHIRTS to wear and we are SO PROUD to wear them!!!! I have had several people comment on them and tell me that we are strong to keep on going! But you are the one who is strong and I commend you for all you do! We love you and keep you in our thoughts and prayers often! Much love to you all! God bless

Hello Cindy. Mom and I just got back from seeing Rent in the city. It was amazing. Sadly, I had no secret admirers on Thursday. Tomorrow I'm competing in a karate tournament. I'm trying to think of some way, like a representation of Maggie, to have her there with me, since it is almost the 6 month anniversary, and plus it is a memorial tournament for a girl in the karate club who died from cancer. Just thinking of ways to keep you all closer in my heart, now more than ever.

I understand the post holiday feelings, the dark days of winter, and being a nurse, of course...working nights can be tough...I work 11-23 three days a week and then a 4 hr shift some time during the week...my co-workers have also been a huge support. I miss Laura always. I just wanted to touch base...peace to you.

Thanks for the update, Cindy. We saw Betsy, Chris and Deann last night, but unfortunately there were so many people there, I barely got to say "hi" to them! I wish I could have visited with Betsy more. She is beautiful, as always! It was so good to see her. I'm not sure if we'll be getting together again before they head home- I hope so. We have all been thrilled that she is here to visit! Thanks for sharing her with us!
Sorry to hear about the tooth incident. That's the only way I go to the dentist- if I'm forced to because of an emergency...bad habit, I know. I've developed a fear of dentists.
You and all of Team Maggie are still in our thoughts and prayers, and we send our love.

the whole time (and Maggie of course).
I pray 2008 brings us the cure we need.
If you are ever up for it...a little shopping therapy (MOA)...
I would love to spend a day with you, I've only met you
for 5 minutes...but, you've made quite the impact on me.

I found Maggies site through Maddison W's journal archives, and spent half an hour readng about your wonderful daughter and how much she enjoyed going to camp. You might think people don't still visit and don't get to know your spunky gal, but you'd be wrong. I hope you keep the site up so others can enjoy her as I just did. Lots of hugs from Pensacola.

Cindy,

I just reread much of your journal about Maggie, and, again, I do hope that there is some way you can preserve this as a book. It is lovely, sad, uplifting, smart, funny, and honest; I did not know Maggie, but it makes me wish I had and it makes me miss her.
My wish for you on this New Year's Eve is that you gain some measure of peace and that your memories comfort you.

Just letting you know that I am thinking of Maggie and your family this Christmas season. She is celebrating with you in heaven. Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Oh and of course, Maggie's cards look beautiful. I was at winter camp with her last year when she made them. I had the pleasure of rooming with her. She is in my thoughts and prayers always. Take care and Merry Christmas.

I can't believe that it's almost time for winter camp. I was just thinking about that and how much fun I had last year with maggie. I came to check in with you to see how you're doing. Please update so I don't have to send out the search parties! Emily and I will have to cause double the trouble this year to make up for the third wangsta! Cindy, there will always be three wangstas, even if the third one isn't here in human form, she'll always be beside us as we cause trouble, wangsta style! Have a merry christmas.

Hi Cindy, Tonight we had a little family Christmas party with my mom and all of her kids and grandkids (it was wild!), and instead of a gift exchange, we made fleece blankets to donate to Primary Children's Hospital in hopes they might bring a smile and some warmth to a few of the children there. Of course, we all thought of Maggie as we made them. Sending love and happy Christmas wishes,

This is Lauras mom. I understand you not wanting to do the Christmas tree...whatever you do to make it through...is OK. I still struggle doing the whole Christmas thing...this year I plan to make cookies for the first time in over 5 years...I missed a concert, I was suppossed to sing, but got a sub...because it was the concert...and I just couldn't bring myself to go..because Laura loved it..and without her, it isn't the same..hang in there.

Hello there Team Maggie!
I have not been on the site for a couple of weeks now and I have so missed it. We went to Zion's for Thanksgiving and am now trying to finish getting caught up from that. Not only am I doing that but now I am putting up with my little Gracie not wanting to sleep past 1:00am! She thinks its time to be awake and after a couple weeks of this sleepless night I don't know how to function! It only made me think of how on earth did you manage that for how many years taking care of our sweet little Maggie! You are amazing! We have also learned in the past month that Gracie is not hearing very well. We will have her tested again in January to see if there has been any improvement but for now we are just going to work with her in trying to increase her vocabulary and see if we can eliminate a lot of back ground noises to see if that is what the problem is. Its so amazing the things they can do for kids and adults for that matter. We love and think of you all often! There will always be a continuous prayer in our hearts for your family and for Maggie! We love you all! I was happy to see that the site is still up! Love ya!!!!1

Yay! I didn't know Betsy was coming to Utah in January! That is great news! (I never hear anything that is going on in the family!) I will anxiously look forward to seeing her...it's been so long! No sticking snow here yet, but it's trying. It's snowing/raining right now and is supposed to tomorrow as well. I was going to put Christmas lights up on our little trees in the front yard today, but now I think I'll stay inside.

Dear Cindy,
I know I haven't written in a while, but I have signed in everyday. Life has been busy. Yesterday I had a Kick-a-thon against cancer at my karate dojo. I did 1000 punches and kicks to raise money for cancer organizations. I hope we raised enough money to kick cancer's butt. Winter camp is coming around again. It just won't be the same without Maggie, but Hollis and I will have fun for her there, memorialize her with love and sadness. All the camp programs will be hard without her, but that is the point of camp- to carry on for the ones who didn't make it. Hope that we can visit sometime soon.
Love,
Emily

Hello Cindy! I just want to tell you we love you and your family so very much. I understand that you are thinking of shutting the site down. I know that it is probably hard on you to keep things going on this, but in a way this is a way for a lot of us to pay our respects to you and Maggie and the family. I hope that I am not being selfish about wanting the site to continue but it's a way for us to grieve with you and to show you we love and support you. But I completely understand what you need to do as well. I guess what I really want to say is that we will miss this site and hearing updates on you and Betsy! We love you all and miss each and everyone of you! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family! I will continue to hold a very special place in my heart for not only Maggie but also you, Betsy, Chris, Deann, Tutie & Phil! We love ya tons! Keep you chin up! Love and hugs to you all!!!!

(I had them made in Maggie's memory a tribute to her life) It has been awhile since I have signed the journal and tonight I just felt I needed to sign it. Just as I was looking at her picture I started to cry and felt this pain in my heart for you! I am so sorry for the sadness you are going thru but yet I feel peace that she is with us and watching over us all. I love you and miss you! God be with you and your family!!!

Hi Cindy,
I have been waiting to tell you a story until I saw you but I feel like telling you today. After Maggie's visitation I walked back to my car. When I open the door, there was one pink craft bead sitting the driver's seat. We had only had the car two weeks before that day and it was spotless. I cannot explain any way that bead got in my car, I have tried. There are none in my house, my purse, Brenna's or Brady's stuff, I did not even have any pockets that day. When I saw it, I had a huge smile on my face. That bead will always be in my car with me. It is one of my greatest treasures. Thanks for sharing her with me. I hope you are doing okay and would love to see you.

Colin had his appt a few weeks ago and I couldn't help but think of you and Maggie as we were walking from the parking lot to the clinic. Of course we stopped and looked at Maggie's cat picture.

Unfortunately I live a bit far to have my car washed, but it sounds like a wonderful gesture and I hope it is successful. Please know that I continue to keep your daughter in my thoughts and her family in my prayers.

I always liked the picture of Maggie with the butterfly. It just seemed to me that she made the most of so many small things that a lot of folks don't even notice.

Much love to you, Cindy, as you begin a new phase and return to work; I know it is daunting, having been through something similar, and my hope is that you will find the activity to be helpful and the companionship of your colleagues to be nurturing.

I can't wait to see you on a regular basis again and I am going to try and get my car washed on that day too! Lord knows.......it sure could use a washing!

I can hardly believe it's been a month since Maggie's passing. Maggie's sweet smile and strong determination are constant reminders of our precious angel. Please know that not a day goes by without me thinking of all of you. My offer for dinner holds true. If you don't call me back with a date maybe I will just suprise you. I said special prayers last week during our New Year services for Maggie's peace and for strength to surround all of you. Shellie Blumenfield

Cindy and all of Team Maggie,

I am so sad as I realize that your sweet girl has been away for a month as of tomorrow. And I cannot imagine your sadness. My husband passed away from a long illness and I try to remind myself that he is no longer suffering -- but he was a grown up and had lived many years. When I think of Maggie, all I can do is hope that her years here were as rich and full as I imagined them to be from reading her web page; I especially liked the picture of her at the ski camp.
I wish there were better words to offer at this sad time, but I know there are not; Maggie was a shooting star blazing across the sky, wasn't she?
Love and many prayers

How absolutely gracious of you to take the time to update. Most of us do not in any way comprehend nor feel the depth of your pain. We can only imagine how we would feel and how we might cope with a loss so profound and heart-wrenching. You are living it and it has to be excrutiatingly difficult.
Thank you for reminding us that we all walk the path of loss in our own way
and that might include needing to pull away and be with those closest and
most beloved. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful girl with so many,
but right now the priority is taking care of yourself. Grieving is so very, very
exhausting. I wish you as many happy moments as are reasonable and some
good ne-newing sleep. Take care, Deb Cefalu

I think of you daily. It is hard not to have pictures of Maggie float through my thoughts daily. The wonderful way she smiled when she completed her swim test, the excitment in her face when she flooded her mask with water underwater and cleared it out. Swimming around in the pool on Scuba. The night of singing with her friends from both Water Sports and Ace. All wonderful memories that make me smile. She was a brave girl. She gave me more than she would ever know. I am so blessed to have known her. She will forever be in my heart - a beautiful young woman.

Thank you for sharing her with me.

Dear Cindy...

Upon checking in after a short trip away...I was saddened to read of Maggie's passing. Such a sweet & courageous girl! Always thinking of others and giving of herself. She will be missed!

My prayers are for you and yours...having been down this path myself...I will pray for peace and comfort for all of you. Hopefully knowing how many lives she touched will ease your heartache just a touch...

The following words I've shared with many via caring bridge guestbooks or sympathy cards. Max Lucado says it so much better than I....

"In God's plan every life is long enough and every death is timely.
And though you and I might wish for a longer life, God knows better.

And - this is very important - though you and I may wish a longer life for our loved ones, they don't. Ironically, the first to accept God's decision of death is the one who dies.

While we are shaking heads in disbelief, they are lifting hands to worship.
While we are mourning at a grave, they are marveling at heaven.
While we are questioning God, they are praising God."

From Max Lucado....Traveling Light.

Peace & Angel Hugs...

Cindy,

Thank you so much for updating those of us who were not able to attend any
part of the beautiful Celebration of Maggie's life. As you said, we are all the
better for having been touched by her "light" and she truly does live on in so many hearts. Just as the e.e. cummings poem, "I carry your heart with me"
says, (Maggie will always be) "the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life, which grows higher than the soul can
hope or mind can hide...and (now she) is the wonder that's keeping the stars
apart"....
And when it comes to those who loved her most and whom she dearly loved, these words ring so true, "I carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it.." May peace come, may time heal.
Fondly, Deb Cefalu

more hours to be there. I didn't want to hold up the line,
as I could've talked to you for hours (after my tears stopped).
And when I got back, I took my daughters hair and I will
remember that smell....I smell it many times a day now.
And Maryah's hair...I know what each part of head feels like,
I just don't know the smell...so, I'm on a mission. She didn't
have hair for so long, that I did forget what her hair
smells like...so, I'm off to find her hair :)
Thank you for sharing Maggie with me...like it was said

Maggie gave more to me as a camper than I could have ever given back to her as a counselor. I'll never forget the day I met her her first year in stepping up...sharing a room with (among others) Emily, Hollis, and dear sweet Laura Westbrook....she and Emily just clicked and seem to have been attached at the hip ever since. Amazing how people come into our lives right when it seems like they are supposed to. Maggie's smile lit up the world at One Step while she was there and now I know her spirit will continue do the same. We will never forget her humor, strength or grace. Thank you for sharing Maggie with us. We have been truly blessed.

Dear Cindy and Betsy (and all of Team Maggie),

Thank you so much for enabling Maggie to live among us for long enough to share her grace and attitude with all of us. She never, ever made anyone who stopped by feel uncomfortable -- entirely the reverse. What a rare and special gift she had of setting everyone at ease, making her enjoyment of everything evident so that our own appreciation of it increased, and smiling. I have many memories (and so many people have many, many more) of her being just such an example � from enthusing over a sewing/fashion project to laughing over some silliness to talking about an art project to glowing while making birthday plans for you to quietly processing medical news but being, unbelievably, perfectly willing to be interrupted to share Model Magic and smile over that, too � she was amazing. A tiny e.g.: hours of washing cars (while surely exhausted from chemo -- though you would NEVER, EVER have guessed it) to raise money for the wonderful Camp One Step. Maggie with a more willing attitude than you can imagine unless you saw it in action. A smile and a nod and a ton of scrubbing, wheeling around to clean each car with concentration and energy and turning to the next with that great smile for hours. She sent 2 kids to camp for a week that day, but really, she sent us all to camp. Thank you for being her Belay Person, allowing her to climb to those heights and teach us all.

Dear Team Maggie,
My thoughts and prayers for strength carry on as you begin the process of Maggie's physical rest. I know Maggie is spiritually at rest, along with her precious Tigger and other loved ones. Her supporters on earth are the ones who are crying. Love from Shellie Blumenfield

Still praying for you Team Maggie. I've been thinking about you non-stop.
I've always wanted to meet Maggie...the stories I've read,
the pictures I see, she always brings a smile to my face.
So, even though I never met Maggie, I hope it's ok that I come
to WI on Saturday to finally meet Mags and say good-bye.
I love all the messages on facebook and in the guestbook.
It gives me comfort to know that so many are praying.

Cindy, I think of you and your family every day. I drive past your house several times a day and I want to stop, yet I know that now is not the time. I know what it's like to feel the need for privacy with your grief for a bit of time.
But say the word and I'm there. Maggies 8th grade picture is beautiful. When I think of Maggie I think of sunshine, smiles and daisys. Her picture makes me think the same things.
Love, peace and His Blessings to all of you,
Chris

Still lurking....still sending love and prayers. I loved being able to see Maggie's 8th grade graduation on her Facebook page. It brought tears to my eyes. I also love seeing all the pictures that have been posted there. I wasn't sure what Facebook was, so for those of you like me and want to see her page, go to www.facebook.com and just create a password (it's free)and then do a search for Maggie Schumann and you should find it pretty easily. That's so neat that a friend set that up for her (and us). Thanks for all everyone is doing to keep us posted. Love, Nichole

Even though I sign and read Maggie's page everday, none of it seems real. Sitting in Arizona removed from the immmediate situation, it just can't be true. but, as I have started to pack my things to head to the midwest tonight, it is starting to sink in. We have all lost an incredible person. Maggie has touched so many people, and I feel honored to be one of them.
We all know Maggie will be missed deeply. The challenge is to continue living using Maggie's inspiration to make our lives and the lives of those around us even better.
Thinking of Maggie and her incredible family always

i am reminded of something i read long ago...
There is no death

I am standing on the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch her until at length she is a speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come to mingle with each other.

The some at my side says, "There! She's gone!" Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living weight to her destined harbor.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, "There! She's gone!" there are other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "There she come!"

And that is dying.

...my prayers are with all the family...

Many tears fall as I read so many people pouring out the love they have for our sweet little Maggie but tears well spent.
Cindy, I can't imagine the pain and loss you are feeling, someday Mother and Child will be reunited and all the pain will vanish and replaced with enormouse joy.
Betsy, you are the best sister in the world. I could tell by the way Maggie totally sparkled when you came and sat next to her when we had lunch. You are and always will be Maggies' big sister hero.

I look forward to being with you soon to celebrate Maggies' life.

Dear all,
I have read of your precious girl's passing on Maddy's website. My heart goes out to you for your unimaginable loss. I know that your beautiful Maggie is now at peace and fully healed, but my heart goes out to you, who are left behind, you who were with her during throughout this long battle against such a horrible disease, you who loved her and cherished her and who were so blessed to be her family and friends. My heart goes out to you all. What a deeply touching tribute everybody is paying to your beautiful Maggie, what a moving testimony of her 'light' and 'inspiration', to her zest for life and untamed courage. Reading the guestbook it's all so evident that Maggie has truely touched so many people and surely her memory will be preciously held in so many hearts. As the day of your final earthly salute painfully approaches, may you be comforted by His loving embrace, each and every day, until you can hug your precious Maggie again, this time forever. Hugs and tears from a mother in Italy.

I LOVE the picture of Maggie and Tigger! Just thinking of their reunion brings a smile and tears all at the same time. Thank you for sharing your courageous warrior with all of us! You raised her to be such a bright, enthusiastic, funny, articulate, positive, assertive, and wonderful young woman. Maggie taught me so much, and those lessons will be with me for the rest of my life. I feel honored and blessed to have known her. Please know that you will always be in my prayers.

My name is Nancy Thomas and I was a long time resident of WFB. I learned in 2003 of Maggie's Ewing's Sarcoma through my dear friend, Ana Maria Troast, and have always inquired about her progress. I lived on Kent Ave. before moving to Woodburn Street and then Colorado. My fourteen year old daughter, Libby, and I finally had the wonderful opportunity to meet Maggie at my Nephew, Justin Shor's, Bar Mitzvah. We both so enjoyed meeting her as she was so poised, caring, fun, and considerate. My daughter, Libby, particularly enjoyed getting to know Maggie. When I shared the sad news of her passing she was heartbroken. She said, "Mom, she was so nice, I really liked talking with her." We both feel very lucky to have had Maggie touch our lives.
May time and the love of friends and family help you through this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Nancy and Libby Thomas

I know everyone has herd a lot that Maggie had a light in her eyes this is very true Maggie did have a light in her eyes but not only did she have a light in her eyes her heart and mind was a light too so she was alight all herself.

Hello team maggie,
I just recently found out of the passing of a precious spunky angel named Maggie. I was devastated when I found out but relieved in knowing that she was now out of pain. I remember it like yesterday that Maggie was in my room at camp (room 4...the party room) partying the night away. She had such a wonderful smile and had spent the last night at summer camp in our room. I loved her perserverence and for that she will always be an encouragement, an inspiration, and a life long friend of mine. Many blessings, prayers, and love.
A fellow camper and friend of our precious Maggie

"God looked around his garden and he found an empty place.He then looked down upon this earth, and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering he knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, and the hills are hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be thine." It broke our hearts to lose you but you didn't go alone for part of us went with you the day God called you home."

Cindy,
I thought this poem reflects Maggie. From all the messages sent, I decided to post this to share with all the lurders!
Even though I can't be there this weekend, know that I will be thinking of you and sending you hugs and prayers.

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

Ok, I will admit it now...I am a LURKER TOO! I still continue SEVERAL times a day find myself pulled to the computer to take a look to see who has signed the guestbook and to see if there are any new updates on how you are all doing. I hope everyone is feeling Maggie's love and also comfort from our Heavenly Father. I know I shouldn't make requests but I was wondering if there was any way to put more photo's up of Maggie? I think it would be a way to celebrate her life for those that are unable to be there with you. She is such a beautiful person and her smile just makes my day. You have two very special daughters one that will watch over you from above and one to hold dear to you until the time comes that we all can see Maggie again. Thank you Cindy for all of your updates and taking the time out to let everyone know of Maggie's story. Caringbridge is an amazing program. Know that I love you all and am still praying for your family and Maggie. God bless you all.

Love you lots,

I take comfort in knowing that she touched so many lives, mine included. Being her camp counselor was truly a highlight of my life. She was so much fun to be around... always up for anything and willing to be a friend. Her strength, spunk, sense of humor and beautiful smile will be deeply missed.

An angel has left us! and returned to her Heavenly Father & Heavenly Mother with honor. She was precious, pure, sweet & innocent. A warrior and a peacemaker. You could just see the light of her spirit in her countenance! I believe she was sent here, not to be tested, but to test each of us individually. I know that through Maggie we have each learned something of great value. To be kinder to each other, more loving, patient & considerate. We can all go onward with more courage because of her great example. My love to all: Cindy & Betsy, Chris & Deann, & to all my family that read these entries. I would like to give a special thank you to all those wonderful,magnificent angels of mercy, who loved & cared for Maggie during her illness. With love, Lanet

Good evening Team Maggie,

I just want to say that I want to be there for you in this Celebration of Maggie's Life. But sad to say that I am unable to come. I have tried to figure out how I can be in two places at one time. The first would be to be at home with my Children for Hayli's Birthday is on Friday the 24. I have tried to talk with her about me leaving to go and show my support for maggie and Uncle Chris and Aunt Cindy and Betsy. She has started having Panic Attacks in fear of me leaving (she woke up 4 times last night because of nightmares of me being gone). I want to be there and feel at the same time I need to be here with my kids. I love you all so very much and know that I am there with you in spirit and thought. I am sadened that I can't be there with you in this time of need. Know that we all love you and wish we could be there with you.

As I read through this guestbook and view the many lives Maggie touched... and will continue to touch... I no longer wonder what lit the spark in her fire. It was her sensational smile, her willingness to be the light in the room when all of us felt the darkness, her giggle, her artistic flair. Perhaps her spirit now lives in all of us and we too shall feel the sparkle of life that Maggie left us with.
Bless you Mags,

I think of how ironic it is that it has been raining for days when it has been so dry for months. I know our world is crying without Maggie. I remember her matter of fact manner of telling me how the tumor had reappeared during last year's camp, but I also remember how brave and courageous she spoke. What a delightful, mature, and spunky young woman she was. Words are hard to come by when such a bright light on earth is now gone, but one more star in heaven shines with such clarity.

I, too, continue to check this page several times each day. I find comfort in the entries of all of the people Maggie has influenced over the years. I hope that your family finds some solace in them, as well. I've looked at the Facebook page Maggie's friends created. What a tribute to an amazing young lady. Cindy, I often drive past your house on my way home and wonder if you need anything. Remember -- I am around the corner if you do...anytime of the day. Please don't hesitate to call me for anything.
Love,

Dear Cindy and family,

Since news of Maggie's passing, I keep visiting this website and have turned into a lurker. I just can't seem to find the words to say. On one hand, I feel so much sorrow. On the other hand, it is impossible to think of Maggie and not feel a smile on my heart. Her life here on earth may have been shorter than most, but the positive impact she has had on others is immeasurable, and reaches way beyond the boundaries of Whitefish Bay. Her strength and courage were a part of who she was; in addition, they were a reflection of the values so clearly demonstrated over and over by her family. Thank you for letting me be a witness to this and for continually providing perspective on what is important in life. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Maggie, Water Sports went diving together today and it rained all day. The skies would clear for alittle while and as soon as we were ready to go into the water the skies would open up again. Now I know why. The tears of the angels for all of us you left behind who will miss your smile and the way you wrinkled your nose when you laughed. We will miss you but find comfort that you will be in the hearts of all who knew you. Thank you for touching my life.

Cindy, thank you for sharing your precious daughter with me for the first week of camp. You have a very couragous daughter.

Teaching the Martial Arts in ACE and hanging with you kids is to cool.

Taking you you to the med office was a blessing as it was time to talk to you without all the commotion.From me (da Bird)my wife and Sara and Paul my kids we all Love you . Sara says hi too.

I sit here and have no idea how to begin. If my heart hurts as much as it does, I can't even imagine how yours feels. Cindy, you and Maggie has been an inspiration for my job, my family and my life. They tell you when you start on the HOT unit not to cross the line between job duties and personal involvement in family lives. I am pretty sure I crossed that line in October of 2002 and have no regrets. Thank you again for letting me be part of the journey, it has been life changing for me. Now I hope you can find peace as Maggie has. I'm thinking Maggie may be hanging out with another crazy red-head, dressing up and eating donuts (my sister)! Call if you need anything.

Dear Family of Maggie,

I believe I am a grade ahead of your daughter so I did not know her personally. I do however recall seeing your daughter in grade school and in middle school throughout her battle. I would just like to let you know that I cannot even begin to imagine the hardships your family has endured. The fact that Maggie was only a kid just like me, makes me sympathize even more. She is a true inspiration to me and to many others I am sure and she will always be in our hearts and memories.

I woke up thinking of our precious Maggie sewing the quilts on the machine with such speed and intensity..just as she lived the rest of her life..with speed and intensity.

I was going to sign the guestbook yesterday and I couldn't find the link. I thought..."Oh well I can just do sign it in the morning when my mom can find it." I wanted to give Maggie my last good bye. And now I can't...=[

Maggie was a strong amazing girl, who everyone liked. She was in my girl scout troop for almost 5 years. We had some great memories. We did the court case in 7th grade, and I really got to know her. Maggie was an inspiration to everyone and she will be in my heart forever.

My most fond moment of her would most definetly be in third grade. We sat at the back table and passed notes in Mrs.Zazem's class.

I don't really know what to say...other than I miss her already...she made an impact on my life to say the very least.

I will pray for you, Schumann family...Maggie will never be forgotten.

Cindy and Family,

"A light has gone out this world".......a light brilliant in its intensity, fueled by
courage and determination, hued with love and affection for many, flecked
with spunk and sass, and at it's core a spirit so sweet, so patient, so kind,
it takes your breath away. How can we survive without the "illumination"
that is Maggie? I know in time I will be able to believe that her "light" will
continue to shine on in all of us, some who knew her only for a moment, and
those fortunate to have loved her deeply; but for now, all I know is that a beautiful, radiant, spectacular "light" has "gone out this world" and I'm am
profoundly sad. I hope in time "peace" will embrace us all. Thank you
Cindy, for sharing your girl. Love, Deb Cefalu

She had given us hope that this cancer could be defeated and for that I will be forever grateful. The tears fall in silent preyer for you today, my heart breaks that another amazing child has left this earth to soon. You will forever be in heart and in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, I also wanted to share with you a poem/prayer I received from someone on a mass card when my father passed away in 2002.

�Don�t grieve for me, for now I�m free. I�m following the path God laid for me.
I took God�s hand when I heard the call; I turned my back and had to leave it all.
I was not able to stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found my peace at the end of day.
If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. These things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life�s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, loved ones� touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; Don�t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me- God wanted me now, God set me free.�

Maggie, It's almost 12:30 am. We just got back from the Salt Lake City Fair demolition derby. It was a pretty good one. We went with Jeff's parents and Shalyn came with us, too. This was Hudson's first derby and I don't know what he thought about it. It was quite loud and I think he didn't liked that part, but they were giving helicopter rides nearby so the helicopter kept flying really close over us and he loves helicopters and airplanes, so he had fun watching those. They also had a little petting zoo full of baby goats and llamas and as soon as we took him in there he acted like he was in heaven! He had a ball. We also took him on a pony ride and he loved that, too. Needless to say, he's an animal lover. After we dropped Shalyn off at her apt., Jeff stopped to help a woman change a flat tire, which is why it's so late and I need to go to bed(after a bowl of cereal)! Hope you are getting the rest you need and are feeling well. We love you all so much and keep a prayer in our hearts for all of you. Much love, Nichole

Good evening Team!!! I hope that today has been a better day for you all. I am sure you all have been enjoying each others company. Cindy, any more singing? I love you all and hope you all have a nice restfull night. I hope the Hospice Nurse is wonderful!! She had better be a good one because you deserve nothing but the BEST of EVERYTHING!!!!!!! Lots of love to you.

I will just have to say how wonderful SISTER TIME is!!! I got to spend the day with my Sister Valerie and her boys. I really enjoyed it. We got lunch from Parker's drive in and took the kids to the park and let them play for a bit. Then we loaded up everyone and drove over to see my Mom's new condo. We weren't there very long because our Mom was at work. Val and I then went back to her house and I cut her boys' hair and then we went to our cousins wedding. Well I am going to hit the sack now. I am very tired from a long but good day.

Love you lots and will chat with you tomorrow.

Here's a big hug heading your way......

Maggie and Cindy,
I was looking at some of the pictures Angela took of her visit. Maggie you are such a beautiful young lady. Your smile at the cheese cake factory brightened my day! I hope you enjoyed Miss Daea. I am her favorite Aunt by the way. Lacie likes to squable with me about who her favorite is. The greek restuarant in Orem was pretty good. We had a fun time together. Chase is a pretty cool baby brother. I don't get to see my family enough! After lunch we did some scrapbooking. Ang is very talented in that area, I am not so talented. I mostly stick around for the converstaion. A little news on the house, we are countering their counter offer. This fun mess may go on for days, I am done and want to start moving already! We are going to Idaho on Sunday to pick up the kids. I miss them. I have been thinking about you a lot. I hope you are comfortable. We love you! You are our hero!

Dear Miss Maggie and Cindy, we are keeping you in our thoughts this morning. I hope you are comfortable, Maggie. And I hope you stay strong as you comfort her, Cindy. This is such a hard thing to go through and I respect and admire Maggie and her family for doing it with such grace. It simply amazes me.

This morning Daea woke up at about eight thirty and I put her inbetween Shawn and I. Around nine he leaned into me and said, "She has been kicking me all morning!" Such a drama queen. But he changed two diapers before leaving for work so we will keep him around. We love you and miss you all. Thanks for continuing to update your page, Aunt Cindy.

Team Maggie,

Good morning Team Maggie! At least I hope its a good morining for you all. It is about 4:45 her in Utah and I just got Steve off heading to teach Fire School. (wow its early) I'm not an early riser. LOL I just saw that the computer was on so I thought I would check in. I too am addicted to checking in and signing in all the time. Just want you all to know how much I love and care for you all. I guess its our way of showing you our love and support and hopefully a bit of cheer and comfort.

Maggie, I just want to tell you that when we were at LAKE POWELL a few years ago when you were with us and we were washing our hair in the lake you told me that "when you get to hot keep your arm pits wet and it will cool you down!!" Well I have yet to forget that and I use that bit of advice every time I get to hot!!! LOL now I am sitting here laughing my butt off cause it works. So thanks so much!!! You are such an amazing, beautiful girl!!! Keep up that beautiful smile of yours, you light up the room when you do. Smile's are contagious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lot's of love to you all!!! Sorry your Mom's singing didn't make you feel better. lol (I think she probably did a good job but you have been listening to to much other music that has impaired your hearing) LOL! you should let her try it again. Maybe she could sing OPERA like Aunt Cheralee tries to do when we sing Happy Birthday Uncle Mark joins in and its quite funny!!! Love you lots and I hope you were able to get some good rest.

Love much, Laugh often!!!

How has your day been? I hope things have been more comfortable for you. I will keep this short and tell you we love you all. Have a good night and we will chat with you tomorrow.

Just a quick note we did not end up being able to go to the hotel tonight. The fire academy fell thru with their reservations on the rooms and well Steve had to come home. He will still teach but will have to leave our home at about 5:00am to get there by 6:00 for a meeting and teaching by 7:00. CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!!!!! They should have my sister Val as a cordinator for them. She is good at getting things done and organized!!! LOL (a little OCD) but that's a good thing, I'm not being mean! (love ya Val if you read this) LOL LOL!!!!

Love you Magg's and have a restful evening. We love you and Jesus loves you and is with you in your time of need. He is with all of you!!!!! LOVE YA

Love,

Dear family,
This earth life sure can turn hard so fast. This day has been hard, I know you are having it very hard. I am so thankful to be Maggies' aunt. All the family that surrounds her tonight are so fortunate to have her in your lives. She is the ultimate in all the great attributes you could have in a little girl.
Tonight I have been going through all my pictures finding all that I have of her in happier days. She has the most amazing little smile. I will remember it forever and ever.
I am glad you can be together. Family can help more than we can believe. Is Phil going to be coming home soon. Although I have never met him in person. I have always felt comforted knowing he is there and giving great comfort and assistance to Maggie and the whole family, as is DeAnne. It is also comforting to know how she is willing to give so much love and support. It shows us we are all brothers and sisters and we need to love one another.
I pray tonight that Maggie and all of you will be comforted. I love you sweet little Maggie. Betsy, I loved seeing you. Please let us keep in touch. All my thoughts and love are with all of you. You are all great worriors.
love from
Cheralee

Lehi, UT - Thursday, August 16, 2007 11:43 PM CDT

Maggie and Cindy,

How sweet that your Mom sang songs from your younger years. OK, I know
sometimes once is enough. And sadly, Isabella (almost 4 yrs now) asked me NOT to sing "White Coral Bells" to her the last time I was in Minneapolis. I thought she just didn't like the song, until she told me I didn't "sound good-
like when Mommy sings it." Hmmmmmmm.
Oh Maggie, I am so sad to hear how difficult it is for you to breathe! That is
so unfair and wrong. I know "Team Maggie" is doing everything possible to solve this problem. If only all the love, prayers, and concern so many feel for you had the power to give you those breaths you so deserve, you would
not be laboring anymore!! I am so happy, though, to know that you are not in pain. Peace be with you, darling girl. Mrs. Cefalu

We are constantly praying and thinking of you all. Our warmest thought and prayers go out to your entire family through out this. We love you and miss you so much.

Cindy thank you for taking time to update us all on Maggie. We love caringbridge and the service it is providing all of your family, friends, lurkers and just everyone who has the chance to peek in on you all. You are AMAZING!!! Jesus and our Heavenly Father loves you and is with you always!!!

Today is Chase's nineteenth Birthday and all he wants is to have lunch at a Greek restaurant. No big deal, right? Well there is exactly one Greek establishment in all of Utah County. Hopefully it will be a good one. We realize it's a gamble though. We love all of you and are praying for comfort for Miss Maggie and family.

Steve is teaching fire school down in Orem, UT over the weekend so we are going to go with him and spend some time in the HOTEL (its a break away from home) LOL!!! My Mom lives in Orem so I hope she will come with the kids and swim in the pool at the hotel. It will be a nice little get away. We have not gotten out this summer with all of Steve's working schedule's and school. He will graduate with is Bachlors degree in Fire Science in the spring. I have typed so many papers for him because he is such a slow typer. We will take the lap top in hopes that we will beable to sign in from the hotel to keep in touch with you while we are gone for a couple of days. If it doesn't work just know that we are still thinking and praying for you and your family. Lots of love and will chat with you soon.

Hi everyone!
The sun is shining today and i hope that brings a smile to your face today! Thinking of you all a ton each day and sending you lots of strength!

We went to a new studio near our house yesterday. It is an Art Fusion workshop where you pick out different types of glass and then you can make bowls, tiles, wind chimes, vases or platters. They have really beautiful pieces of glass that you can cut yourself to decorate whatever you are making. I made a cobalt blue tray with lots of purple (Kira's favorite color) glass. Hannah made a green ice cream bowl. Chandler made a tile decorated with a guitar and music notes, all made out of glass. Nate's tile was blue with a big sun, red bird, and tents (hoping he doesn't want to go camping...) We can't wait to see what they look like when we pick them up in a week (after they are fused).

Sending you much love!

Hello again, its Teresa. Well I didn't make it down to Grandma & Grandpa's this evening. I was to emotional to drive and had given myself a crying migraine headache. I wish I was a wizzard like in Harry Potter and could just whip up a potion or use my wand and take away all of this that YOU and your FAMILY have had to go thru!!! I know words can not explain enough how much we love you and your family. It seems with every entry I write I want to say so much more but I can't seem to find the right words to say other than WE LOVE YOU AND ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! I can't seem to say it enough. So if it sounds repetitive I'm sorry but we do love you and are praying for your peace and comfort not only for you but also your MOM, DAD, BETSY, TUTTIE, PHIL, and the list just goes on. Have a good night. Chat with you tomorrow!!! Much love going out to you all. Good night for you all.

Cindy & Maggie - I, too, am guilty of lurking! I've been checking in daily over the last two weeks to see how things are going and finally decided to write. While in the checkout line at Sendiks this afternoon I noticed the sun finally breaking through the grey and dreary day - my first thought was of you, Maggie, and all the sunshine you bring to so many people. Now that's a gift! Keep hanging in there and know you are loved, prayed for and thought of more than you can imagine. Have a restful night.

I am sad to hear of the news for the last few entries. I have been in "lurker" mode recently. I know that God is with you guys. He has the most peculiar way of making his presence known. I think in your case, it's all of the love that you are constantly surrounded by, whether it be family or the many, many friends that you guys have. Cindy, I know that it must be heart-wrenching to see your baby sick. You are the strongest lady I know and anyone would be proud to call you "mom". That's why you got one of the greatest kids I've ever known as a daughter. I pray that Maggie finds comfort with the medication and all of you guys' presence. We love you guys very much. Love, Lisa, Junior and BooBoo

Maggie, I know, I know. I'm obsessed with checking your website and signing in. I just got a laugh at Hudson today. We went shopping at Old Navy and hadn't had lunch yet and I knew we didn't have any food at home (I wish I had a kind friend to drop me off a fridge full of food!), and I didn't want to go grocery shopping because Hudson was hungry and needed a nap, so I picked us up some cheeseburgers from Wendy's. As I haven't eaten at Wendy's for what seems like years, I devoured mine, but Hudson was practically gagging on his and wouldn't eat it. So I made him a Lean Cuisine! LOL! And of course he loved it. He'd rather have chicken with broccoli and rice than a Wendy's cheeseburger...weird kid. But hey, I'm not complaining. Lots of love, Nichole

Maggie and Cindy, I hope you are feeling a little better today Maggie. We love you so much. I admire your strength and courage! Well with the kids gone Rob and I went out last night. We ate at La Casita a little dumpy restaurant in Springville, they have the BEST food there. After that we went to see Rush Hour 3, don't waste any money on this show. It was terrible. But the popcorn and "hot beans" (hot tamales) are always great for movies. I don't like Pepsi I'm a Sunkist kinda girl. Today I am wondering around aimlessly, missing my kids. We put an offer on our dream house on Monday and are anxiously awaiting for them to reply. Their deadline is set for today so I am sure they are waiting til the last minute. Too bad they don't know that I am so impaitent. We have a game night planned for tonight, so something for me to look forward to. Well keep your chin up! You are in our hearts and thoughts. Catch ya later.....

You have been through so much it amazes me of your courage and continuous smile even when you don't feel well!!! YOU ARE AMAZING!!! so is your Mom, Betsy & Tutie. Tutie sounds like she would be alot like Aunt Cheralee! LOL everyone needs someone like that in their family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family each and every day!!!

I am going to have to agree with Nichole about the CANCER SUCKS T-shirt. Maybe we should have some made up in your favorite color and wear them. I think I will check into that today. What is your favorite color?

I hope you were able to get to your appointments today. I put your name in at the Bountiful Temple today. Nothing wrong with more people praying for you and your family!!!

Love you!

ohhh Maggie. I am so sad at this turn of events. Kelly and I just met you earlier this summer with you being such a inspiration to the both of us. While lurking around Kelly and I have learned to use retail therapy, art therapy, have quiet cozy, warm family, friends, girls nights to help us walk this journey we are on. We have learned beading and are both wearing knew necklaces. Kelly has the modern larger bead look and I the smaller tiny bead look. Kelly's favorite store for retail therapy is Target. Kelly's friends have not been around since she was diagnosed. Which was a sad suprise for us. Luckily though Kelly has her brothers and sisters and their friends to provide friend therapy. Kelly and I cannot wait to see the picture for next year's camp. Perhaps your picture will help Kelly get over her fears of going to camp!! You are walking this walk before us, Maggie, giving us such inspiration and honor to follow you. You barely know us and yet you have been such a positive influence on us. We are praying for your comfort, peace and love. You are surrounded by love, Maggie, I can see examples everywhere! I hope that you can feel this huge spirit of love surrounding you and Cindy.

I am soooo glad you and Betsy are my nieces. I am one lucky aunt. I was thankful to finally get to see you. I especially was glad to see where you live and see how beautiful WI. is. Now I understand why your mom wanted to return home. I think it would have been a hard place to leave in the first place because it is so beautiful.

I miss you bunches. I am thankful for the time we got to spend with you, but more sure would have been great. It is a shame time goes by so swift. It was really great to see you and Betsy together, I could tell she means a lot to you and you mean the world to her. It is wonderful to see sisters love one another. You have a wonderful mother and father and many others that love you, what a wonderful blessing and than you have MEEEEE! WOW! YOU ARE LUCKY.
But to tell the truth we are the lucky ones to have you Maggie my sweet little Maggie. I love you, I can not tell you how much you and Betsy mean to me. I love you and miss you. love from Aunt Cheralee

Hi Maggie, Just lurking from Chicago. Sounds like you have been a busy girl with all the visitors. I have been training lots for my triathlon since I returned from camp. The best thing about exercising so much is being able to eat lots of ice cream! HA!

Thank you for letting all of us overwhelm you with visitors. We had such a pleasant time just be around you guys and catching up. Seeing Tuttie was such a highlight. I love that she is so spunky. I want to grow up to be Tuttie! Cindy, thank you for welcoming us into your home, and Maggie thanks for visiting with us and taking part in our photo shoots. I got some great pictures.

Maggie and Cindy and Leigh,

I absolutely must THANK Leigh for her wonderful picture of the rabbit with
the pancake on his head!!! I laughed out loud when I saw it and have continued to do so every time I think of him (her)? Of course it makes complete sense that Leigh would have a large rabbit with a pancake on his
head in her dream about Maggie and vanquishing the tumors. After all, bunnies do have "magical" powers, don't they? And Leigh has magical powers
as well--she found just the right picture to make us all laugh. Sounds like Cindy got a chuckle out of it; hope Maggie did too. Here's to the magic of laughter--keep it coming!
Take care Maggie--hope you can eat some of those pancakes!!

Maggie, I wasn't able to sign or view the guest book for a couple of days. I figured it had crashed because of all the enormous amounts of love, thoughts, good wishes and prayers that are being sent your way. Anyway, I'm glad it's working again.
We bought the movie "Holes" last night and watched it while we ate pizza--vegetarian on my half, pepperoni and olives on Jeff's half, and olives (hold most of the pizza) for Hudson! After we put Hudson to bed, we had popcorn with peanut M&M's (which is WAY better than popcorn and hot tamales!).
We played horseshoes at Jeff's parents house the other day. They just put some pits in their yard and this was the first time we put them to use. It was a lot of fun and while I didn't do great, I didn't do as bad as I thought I would, either.
Maggie, I hope you are feeling a little better and that you are enjoying having your family and friends surround you. We all love you so much. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Nichole

Hi you two.
Note on Crocs: do not attempt to yank the heelstrap of your MaryJane out from under the cabinet when you get stuck there. Remain calm. Remove heelstrap gently. It is not built for an argument with a cabinet. Just thought you Croc-types over there should know.
Thanks to Betsy for who and how she is, too. You inspire. Hang in there. I hope today went better.

You have an army of supporters behind you, don't be afraid to call on us! Also tell Maggie that I wore my Irish bracelet to Brenna's dance performance on Monday.

Hey there beautiful Maggie!!!

I was sad to hear that you have not had much energy. I hope that Michelle the hospice nurse was able to get you the things you needed. Hopefully it will make you more comfortable and it will help you get to your appointments easier. We love you so much!

Not much going on her in Bountiful, UT just trying to get some house cleaning done and lots of laundry. I don't understand how three girls can make such a mess and have so much laundry either. I layed a new floor in my laundry room the other day. Well I should say I put some vinyl tiles down on a yucky old cement floor. I think it looks pretty good for my first time ever doing anything of that sort. My advice to anyone who may see it is DON'T LOOK TO CLOSE!!!! lol trust me its so much better than walking on falling apart cement that is probably 100 years old. Our house is over 125 years old. Its an old Victorian style home we really need something bigger but its fun and cute for now. Well I need to go and finish cleaning. The girls just woke up Gracie and she was not ready to wake up from her nap. So I guess Kenli and Hayli need to have cleaning jobs. Have a good day and I will write again before I go to bed. Take care and I hope you are getting some rest. LOVE YOU!!!!
