Guestbook 2

Dear Susan and Jeff,I wanted to send you a lil note today to let you know you are on my heart and mind as always.
I, along with so many others I am sure, want to say Happy Mother's Day ... I know it is a bittersweet day for you, however, I want to say in a BIG WAY thank you for sharing your beautiful Stephanie with us and the world. Just imagine the loss we would have had not knowing about her and the many lessons she has shared and how you and Jeff have taught so many from your journey. All the lives that have been touched and nutured. You are so very special to share with all of us. Don't let one rotten apple spoil all the good that has been done. Just bask in the miracle of your special Angel and know she is right there with you for she has put footprints on your heart. All my love to a very special family. God Bless you always. Hugs and Kisses, Jan P.S.

They are keeping a promise to their daughter and are doing a great job. Sam has received so much love and support, joy and laughter from them. Take all your energy in bashing these awesome people and turn it into something positive.

Thinking of you all as alwaysDarla and Robert L - Monday, May 7, 2007 3:05 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Susan and Jeff,
Our hearts still grieve with you in the loss of Stephanie. She was such a beautiful young lady and it is such a beautiful gift that God allowed us to be her uncle and aunt. Her life was too short, but in that life she was such a wonderful young lady who gave of herself and loved so unconditionally. We miss her and pray for your comfort and strength through this anniversary of her home going. Remember David as he said of the death of his child, "I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me" (II Sam. 12:23). We have that same promise of eternal life with Christ and we will see Stephanie again.Terry and Barbara Robinson Mayflower, AR USA - Monday, May 7, 2007 11:58 AM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Susan and Jeff,Hello, it is Marsha. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you as the 3rd anniversary of Stephanie's new beginning with Jesus nears. May God strengthen you and give you a peace that passes all understanding. As far as the one who is trying to cause you problems, they will answer to God for that but we know as long as we are pleasing God, the devil will try to block us or discourage us but we arise victorious and NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSPER!! Keep going forward because every step you take will bring you closer to Jesus and to Stephanie. I believe it won't be long til Jesus calls us home. Until then, when satan puts blocks down to try to make you stumble, use them as stepping stones. May the love of God shine on you and through you. Susan, please feel free to e-mail me anytime. I am only a keyboard away! I love you.forever friends,MarshaMarsha Robinson <marshar@dcwin.org>Birchleaf, Va USA - Monday, May 7, 2007 10:49 AM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Know u r in my thoughts and mind and heart daily. Know you are responsible for so many smiles on so many little faces and their family and friends and parents. You are just AWESOME!!!
You are very important and appreciated by so many.God Bless, Love, JanJan, Prayer Bears <SedonaHeart@aol.com>Smileyville, Heartland USA - Sunday, May 6, 2007 3:16 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Jeff and Susan: It just pains my heart to know there is someone out there trying to tarnish your hard loving work which is truly from your heart and a promise u made to your loving daughter. And to report you to CaringBridge, PLEASE, those people need to get a life and try to become something with their life. Don't worry or waste a moment of your valuable time about them, you have much more important valuable things to continue with your time and energy. I vouch big time for the truth of all you do. We are one in agreement how much it means to help children. I can't count the hours that Jeff and I have shared our stories about the special children we work with and the great gift of giving to them. I am so sorry for the pain and anguish this has caused you. It is so ignorant. Just know there are more people for you than not. We stand united in true friendship and love toward you. Your precious daughter did more with her life the short time she was here than some people never do. She was not greedy and even till the end she was still thinking of others. Her Legacy lives on and will continue to do so. Please know I am here for you and you, the Ott family, is a MIRACLE to so many people. You, along with Stephanie, have placed your footprints on everyone's heart. I love you and am so blessed to have you in my life. Know I am here for you anytime day or night. I know this month is hard for you and I am only an i/m or email or phone call away. Please know how important you are in my life. God Bless, Love always, JanBELIEVE IN MIRACLES AND SOAR
You know everyone has to answer to God when they die, and he will be the judge of all, it does matter that we love one another and be there for people in life. It's sad how some people decide to waste their lives away isn't it?

She's a lovely girl and I can just imagine how Jesus is greatly enjoying her company in heaven. Your daughter's web page is wonderful and the music is awesome. My daughter loved the song you had on your web page a couple of months ago. She loves songs about rain. I was wondering if you would mind sharing the name of that song and who sings it with me. That particular song and your web page seemed to touch my daughter deeply and I would love to find that song for her again. May God keep his loving arms around you and your family. Thank you Liz Buck <Elizbuck@aol.com>Austin, tx usa - Tuesday, April 24, 2007 11:54 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Stopped in to say hello.

Tell Jeff I said, we aren't that far now so its time for him to bring you for a visit. William can go fishing and play with Spencer and Cierra. Love you guys! Thanks for al the hard work you and Brenda did on the page, it looks great!Darla Lindenmayer www.caringbridge.org/in/angelbarneyboo <littlesisdarla@aim.com>VA - Thursday, April 19, 2007 10:35 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was about to go off line and you were in my thoughts so I decided to stay on and stop by to see how you are doing.As always, your page looks beautiful. You find some of the most gorgeous backgrounds etc that I have ever seen on a webpage.
Spring is here and hopefully I will be able to get outside a little and pamper Katelyn's garden. It makes a LONG winter when the garden looks bare, it makes me miss her even more. I wasn't sure it was possible but I guess it is. Did you guys ever get the email I sent with the picture of the butterfly chairs??? I always think of you when we pick out special items for her garden.
I hope you are all doing ok.DebAngel Katelyn’s Mum, Debbie <miraclegirl101@hotmail.com>Wheatley, Ontario, - Wednesday, April 18, 2007 11:56 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Susan, Jeff and William: I think of you daily and pray for you always as well as send my love and thoughts to you. I pray the pain eases and know Stephanie knows you were the best parents and brother to her. She is your Guadrian Angel now and she loves you so. She knows you are keeping her legacy going so please find solace in that. I am here for you any time day or night. God Bless ... Susan, this latest tribute to her web site is an example of the love you have for you lil girl. It just amazes me how you outdo yourself with each new design you do special just for her. I saw this and since it was purple and for the month of May, I had to leave it for her. I can't wait until the day that I get to meet her face to face. She is such an inspiration to me and to everyone else who gets to learn about her. God Bless, Love and Bear Hugs, Jan

The Easter Bunny <TheEasterBunny@aol.com>Bunnyville, Bunnykins Carrottville - Saturday, April 7, 2007 2:14 AM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------My Easter Wish List

Dear Mr. Easter Bunny,
I just had to write today…
To ask you please to stop in Heaven
Before you hop along your way.

I wanted to know if you’d come here,
and if I could ask a favour of you.
Can you bring a basket to Heaven
so I may add some goodies too?

I need to send my love to Mum
She’s terribly sad you see,
Please give my Mum a bunny hug
And tell her it’s from me.

Mr. Bunny, could you tell my Dad
That I’m sending all my love.
Please tell him that I’m smiling down
From my home in Heaven above.

Please give my Nans and Pops
A tender loving touch,
I’ll send a big wet kiss for them
‘Cos they are loved so much.

My cousins need to know I’m there
When they go out to play,
I’ll send to them some tickles
To brighten up their day.

My Aunties and my Uncles
Will also need some care.
Please give them each a loving hug,
To let them know I’m there.

Mr. Bunny, there are many more
On my Easter wishes list,
So let them know on Easter morn
They’ve each been dearly kissed.

Please tell them all I love them
And I’m with them everyday.
I’ll hold their hands ‘til it’s their turn
to come on up my way.

Thank you Mr. Easter Bunny…
I appreciate you coming this way.
I will say a loving prayer for you
As you hop from Heaven on Easter day.

The Four Leaf Clover
A four leaf clover...A treasure...priceless and rare,Like my child in Heaven above...Now in God's tender loving care.
Each leaf...a meaning....a part of my griefOne leaf for strength...one for memories so dear...One leaf for peace...and one for my faith in God above...Each represents a part of my life..My child in heaven...forever missed and forever loved.
The first leaf on the clover....Stands for strength....to make it through the day....From morning to night....darkness to light...With Gods help each step of the way.
The second leaf on the clover....Stands for peace...that only God can bring...A Peace that restores my mourning heart...Smooths the edges of the pain...and help me learn to begin to live again.
The third leaf on the clover...Stands for Memories...that I will always hold dear...Their spirit will shine on in the memories left behind...Although time may pass...they will never disappear.
The fourth leaf on the clover...Stands for my faith in God above....Believing with all my heart in what I cannot see...Knowing we will meet again...By the golden gates....in Heaven above.
Until then I'll keep my memories...Tucked deep inside with love...Along with my 4 leaf clover...My treasures from Heaven above.
A Clover? A Treasure?Blessings from above?Strength, peace, memories, and faithAll sent from Heaven....with Gods everlasting love.**~ BRENDA~**MY LOVING DAD'S SITE <brurka@shaw.ca>****Edmonton~Alberta~Canada****, - Monday, March 12, 2007 11:22 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sitting in the parking lot as Christian takes his SAT's and borrowing his computer so I can tell my special friends Hello.

"Never Be Forgotten"
I’ll always see your face,The corner of your smile,And all the little things that no one will ever know.Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away,Goodbye is just a word that I will never say.
You will never be forgotten.A million days could pass us by,But what is time but just a dream?Oh, I still feel you here with me.You’re more than just a memory.Oh, you will never be forgotten.
I can‘t hold your handOr look into your eyes,And when I talk to you,It just echoes in my mind;But If hearts are made of dustAnd if we fell from the stars,I would look up tonight and know just where you are.
You will never be forgotten.A million days could pass us by,But what is time but just a dream?Oh I still feel you here with me.You’re more than just a memory.Oh, you will never be forgotten.
And the world just keeps on going;It has no way of knowingThat you’re gone.
You will never be forgotten.A million days could pass us by,But what is time but just a dream?Oh, I still feel you here with me.You’re more than just a memory.Oh, you will never be forgotten.**~ BRENDA~**MY LOVING DAD'S SITE <brurka@shaw.ca>****Edmonton~Alberta~Canada****, - Wednesday, February 14, 2007 2:00 PM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thinking of you today................

Valentines...... To Heaven
This Valentine is not of the ordinary kind,Its still filled with love...and blessings inside;But mine has to be sent on the wings of love...You see its destination is the Heavens above.
Its not being sent to my parents so dear,For they are still with me each day of the year;Its being sent to my child...who left earth so soon,Who's now in the Heavens with the stars and the moon.
The message is the same as your valentine,"I love you...my sweet precious child of mine;My love is still deeper than the ocean is blue,And its sent with hugs and kisses...from me to you."
"I know you are with me each and every day,You listen as I talk to you...and hear what I say;For that is one thing that disease cannot do......you'll always be apart of me...and me a part of you."
"I know God did not give you the awful disease,Thank Him for His comfort He gives me...would you please?I dont know what I would do without His undying love...Sent to bereaved parents from the Heavens above."
"I know you are in the best of care,But it's so hard for us left on earth to bear;Could you put in a request from us left behind...For God to send the knowledge..so a cure we can find."
"So that no other family has to go through this pain,Our lives without you will never be the same;When I get lonely I will look to the sky at night...And see you shining down your big bright light."
"Happy Valentines day sunshine...I miss you so much,I know you know how many lives you have touched;You'll always be mine...I love you with all my heart,I know we be together again...and then we'll never part."
So you see the meaning is still the same...The method of delivery is the only change;Mine must be sent by a little white dove...On the wings of Love.

Your entries always come straight from the heart and really hit home. I can understand how you feel when you see how some others view life. It is a gift and we should help others who are not as fortunate as us, not treat them as separate individuals or 'different'.I stopped by to check and see how you guys are doing, it has been too long since I stopped by your page. Please, dont think I forget about you though as you're never far from my thoughts and prayers.I sent you an email, I wanted to share the christmas present Brian and I got each other. I thought of you right away, think you might like it!Take care,DebAngel Katelyn’s Mum, Debbie <miraclegirl101@hotmail.com>Wheatley, Ontario, - Monday, February 5, 2007 8:40 PM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Susan and Jeff, I think of you guys often, I am actually closer to you now. We have moved to VA, and although it was a very difficult decision, it has been the best one. The kids are doing much better with grandparents around and we are to with the extra help. Spencer has been accepted under a clinical trial for his juvenile diabetes. They will be using his cord blood we collected when he was born in hopes that it may cure him. The good thing is he will NOT have to undergo anytype of immunosuppression. Just a simple transfusion of his stem cells. In June, I will be speaking before Congress in hopes that more research can be done with stem cells for not only diabetes, but other diseases and disorders as well. I hope my words will get through. I pray for you guys each day and think of you often.

Dear Jeff and Susan:My goodness, do you realize what a gift you both are? The words you share on Stephs site, are straight from the heart and touch others deeply. You are a shining star to everyone who you come into contact with. It is such an honor knowing you both and having you in my life and among my friends. I love you both and you are teaching so many about so much. Jeff, you know you have my heart as my work with children for all these years seem like it is very similar to what you do and I know how very important it is.

You have told me before it is a tribute to beautiful Stephanie and that it truly is!
I continue to pray for you as we face this new year and my prayer is that you are okay. You deleted my New Year's email and that worried me, I just hope you are hanging in as you face this new year and say good-bye to a very difficult 2006. I Thank God for bringing you into our lives!

I am sure you were busy visiting family. Sam and Alec waited until Christmas afternoon to open their packages and they absolutely loved them. Thank you so much. They really enjoyed them. I put Sam's bed together and it looks great. Josefine looks very comfy laying in it. And Alec loved all the stuffed dinosaurs and the huge spiderman. He can't wait for the new movie to come out. I'm sure the holidays are tough but I bet William had a great time. If you get a chance, give us a call tomorrow or Thursday. Take care.

Angel Katelyn’s Mum, Debbie <miraclegirl101@hotmail.com>Wheatley, Ontario, - Sunday, December 24, 2006 3:46 PM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Stockings Were Hung:
The stockings were hung by the chimney with careBut one special stocking was no longer thereAll that was left were the memories bittersweetOf a life that had ended so incomplete
The family had pictures all gathered aroundThat sometimes made all of them tear up and frownFor the sorrow and sadness without their sweet childMade it difficult for the whole family to smile
Although there were times when they felt him(her) so closeAs if they were feeling some kind of a ghostThe signs that were sent were so special and clearThat they felt that he(she) truly was so very near
They often would talk to him(her) as if he(she) was thereSometimes they would smile but also shed tearsFor each Christmas that came brought with it such painThat they felt in their hearts would always remain
Then one special moment on one special dayHe(She) came to them and simply took them awayTo fly through the heavens and up to the starsA beautiful place that was not very far
He(She) showed them where they would all join once againA place full of beauty no sorrow or painA place where he(she) is happy with heavenly friendsA place where we too will also ascend
After their amazing visit was throughThis family was no longer terribly blueFor they finally realized one day not to farThey would all be together on a heavenly star

You are such a caring family and I am forever grateful that our paths have crossed. I honestly cannot see anything that you have ever written on your webpage (which looks terrific by the way) offending anyone. That goes to show how caring you are though to worry about that.

I know sweet Stephanie celebrated her birthday with Matthew learning to drive around the pearly gates of heaven. We have had a rough two months, Robert got layed off from work yet again, and Spencer just got out of the hospital today, he has been diagnosed with juvenile type 1 insulin dependant diabetes. I had to take a leave of absence to take care of him. Its been a nightmare because we have no insurance. Robert has not been handling it well at all with everything. He is extremely depressed and I am exhausted. Spencer is on two different insulins, plus he has to check his blood sugars 6 times a day. And even at 3am in the morning so by the time I wake him up, I don't get back to sleep. We will just have to learn to cope and deal, all we can do for now. I will be glad when 2006 is over, its been a crappy year for us. I pray now for a cure for diabetes, aplastic anemia, and fanconi anemia. We need to get some scientists in gear and have them discover a cure for it all. Love to you all. Give me a call sometime or email me.

A Thanksgiving Poem
Dear Father who art in Heaven...Please join our family on this Thanksgiving dayAnd bless each one as we sit down to prayAs we remember those who have joined You aboveSo dearly missed and deeply loved.
Please provide us strength on this Thanksgiving dayBless us with memories of those faraway...Please grant patience to family and friends as we grieveAnd help us reach out to others who are bereaved.
We give thanks to You on this Thanksgiving day....For Your presence in our lives each and everyday.For Your comfort, guidance, and never ending love...And for taking care of our loved ones...in Heaven above.
As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving day...And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today....May their lights always shine down on us and give us light...And may we feel their presence along with Yours tonight.
May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving dayBe an everlasting light within each of us along the way...Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above..For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above...Amen

Jan Johnson <SedonaHeart@aol.com>Churchton, MD USA - Wednesday, November 22, 2006 4:44 AM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Gap
The gap between those who have lost children and those who have not is profoundly difficult to bridge. No one, whose children are well and intact can be expected to understand what parents who have lost children have absorbed and what they bear. Our children come to us through every blade of grass, every crack in the sidewalk, every bowl of breakfast cereal. We seek contact with their atoms, their hairbrush, their toothbrush, their clothing. We reach for what was integrally woven into the fabric of our lives, now torn and shredded.A black hole has been blown through our souls and, indeed, it often does not allow the light to escape. It is a difficult place. For us to enter there is to be cut deeply, and torn anew, each time we go there, by the jagged edges of our loss. Yet we return, again and again, for that is where our children now reside. This will be so for years to come and it will change us profoundly. At some point in the distant future, the edges of that hole will have tempered and softened but the empty space will remain - a life sentence.Our friends will change through this. There is no avoiding it. We grieve for our children, in part, through talking about them and our feelings for having lost them. Some go there with us, others cannot and through their denial and a further measure, however unwittingly, to an already heavy burden. Assuming that we may be feeling "better" six months later is simply "to not get it." The excruciating and isolating reality that bereaved parents feel is hermetically sealed from the nature of any other human experience. Thus it is a trap - those whose compassion and insight we most need are those for whom we abhor the experience that would allow them that sensitivity and capacity. And yet, somehow there are those, each in their own fashion, who have found a way to reach us and stay, to our comfort. They have understood, again each in their own way, that our children remain our children through our memory of them. Their memory is sustained through speaking about them and our feelings about their death. Deny this and you deny their life. Deny their life and you no longer have a place in ours.We recognize that we have moved to an emotional place where it is often very difficult to reach us. Our attempts to be normal are painful and the day to day carries a silent, screaming anguish that accompanies us, sometimes from moment to moment. Were we to give it its own voice we fear we would become truly unreachable, and so we remain "strong" for a host of reasons even as the strength saps our energy and drains our will. Were we to act out our true feelings we would be impossible to be with. We resent having to act normal, yet we dare not do otherwise. People who understand this dynamic are our gold standard. Working our way through this over the years will change us as does every experience - and extreme experience changes one extremely. We know we will have recovered when, as we have read, it is no longer so painful to be normal. We do not know who we will be at that point or who will still be with us.We have read that the gap is so difficult that, often, bereaved parents must attempt to reach out to friends and relatives or risk losing them. This is our attempt. For those untarnished by such events, who wish to know in some way what they, thankfully, do not know, read this. It may provide a window that is helpful for both sides of the gap.

I'm sure you're energized about the Democrats victories last week, I know I was pretty happy about it.

My thoughts are with all of you...I don't know why people give others a hard time through the caringbridge sites; I have known of a few people this has happened to. These sites are for support and friendship, nothing else. Despite your pain and loss, you have done so much to help other people and have made such a difference in many lives. I hope you all are doing well and are enjoying the fall season!

We love the new design of Stephanie's web site....Sam might be sending you a request soon to add a song to her website, for some reason she's having trouble and you're the expert!!!! Take care and we're glad William is doing better in school this year...so is Alec!!!Ellen and Sammi Robertson www.caringbridge.org/mi/sammijean <Scanmom@hotmail.com>Wyandotte, MI - Saturday, October 14, 2006 8:36 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jeff, Susan and William, Just wanted to say HI. I am thinking of you always, but Susan knows that since we talk a trillion times a day. Jeff, Noone can imagine the pain you feel in your heart. I just know William needs his daddy each and everyday and Steph would want you to be the best husband and dad ever.I am here for you always!! Also Jeff, The letter Susan read me , well I would IGNORE the OLD BAT that wrote it, she obviously doesnt understand or know anything about you or Susan. What comes around goes around. Prayers and Bearhugs Love, Marci The Prayer Bears http://www.freewebs.com/prayerbears
Marci Connell <mac093@bellsouth.net>Valdosta, GA USA - Thursday, October 12, 2006 8:36 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------It never fails to amaze me how God lets me know when to visit Stephanie's site. I was going back to bed and had the strongest urge to look at her site (I have been praying so hard tonight) First, I love the new background and picture. It is easier on my old eyes to read.
I would LIKE to say the insensitivity of some people amazes me, but it doesn't. I don't know the woman you are referring to Jeff, I don't know the comments~I DO know she couldn't be further from the truth and your only motivation is a promise...and that you are good people!
SO Happy that William is doing better and I am praying Susan is as well. This is a journey many of us can't possibly understand, thank God and yet you are all three doing it with grace and dignity.
I love the reminder that the little things DON'T matter. I meant what I told Susan though~Any "bad" things in life that transpired between you two have been totally forgotten and forgiven by Stephanie. ALL of that has been forgotten, all she remembers is the unconditional love you provided. Grief is a very strange beast all on it's own and it NEVER follows the same path for anyone...you are not only grieving the actual loss of holding precious Stephanie you are mourning the loss of all of the hopes dreams and plans you had for her. I will not pretend to know how it feels beyond a pain I pray to never know.
You are all in my prayers, as always and I love you all. Praying for you as usual and Thanking God and Stephanie for bringing you into my life!
Love and Blessings, Judy

Just wanted to say hello and to let you know that I'm thinking about you. I'm happy to hear that you were able to get away on a family vacation, I'm sure Stephanie was there with you in spirit as she always will.
Thanks for emailing us the stem-cell petition...without a doubt we signed it and left a message too.
Take CareNorma Jabbari--Yashar's mom <NLJabbari@Peoplepc.com>San Jose, CA, - Wednesday, August 9, 2006 2:14 AM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jeff, I truly believe that someday the people that make these decisions, who never have a child or loved one in that situation, will read your story or Mia's or Sam's for that matter and change their minds and do the right thing. Please don't get discouraged, please keep up what you are doing and stay strong!!!!Ellen and Sammi Robertson www.caringbridge.org/mi/sammijean <Scanmom@hotmail.com>Wyandotte, mi - Monday, August 7, 2006 8:03 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------my son ages 16 as SAA, we found out earlier this year he is going in to hospital this week coming to have the horse serum,good luck to you i am thinking of you , god bless june newby <junemnewby2806@aol.com>bradford, england - Sunday, August 6, 2006 12:31 AM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I just found your site today, and wanted to send a note. Your daughter was beautiful, and the story about the ring brought me to tears (good ones!). While we are in Canada, we too were very dissapointed about Bush's decision to veto the stem cell decision, but also very encouraged by the fact that he HAD to veto it (meaning it made it through initially!!). While my son has a completely different condition, our only hope at a cure (however far away) probably lies in stem cell research, so we too are praying for the same decisions! I would like to use the stem cell banner at the bottom of your journal entry if you dont mind for our own site...
Thank you for doing what you do, it will touch more lives that you could imagine.
Keelywww.caringbridge.org/visit/brandonandtylerKeely <kschellenberg@mts.net>Canada - Friday, August 4, 2006 2:19 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I of course signed the stem cell research petition you e-mailed to me. I was very disappointed (although definitely not surprised) when Bush vetoed the proposed amendment immediately. But as you said, we are making progress with education of politicians and they are starting to see the light. Hopefully in 2008, we will have a president who is able to see the importance and necessity of this issue. I've been thinking of your family lately...i hope your summer is going well.

Mom to Anna Altamonte Springs, FL USA - Wednesday, May 17, 2006 7:50 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mother's day is coming... and I wanted to send you a sign.Something you can tell others.. "Is from an angel of mine"So I searched the Heavens high and low for that perfect thingAnd low and behold I found it...and a smile I hope it will bring.
So when you look to the Heavens... and see the yellow stars in the skyJust think of me.. your angel.. in the Heavens way up highAnd just imagine those stars... are dandelions up above.........Yes! Dandelions are also in Heaven.. .which you know much I love
So on this Mother's day... when you awake and feel blue.....You will notice those yellow stars... are no longer in view...So just look to the meadows and the dandelions you see...Are the ones I've tossed down this Mother's Day from me!
And when you find a dandelion that.....turned from yellow to white...You're supposed to make a wish.. and then blow with all your might...For you will be blowing kisses.....to me in Heaven above...And I will be catching them and blowing them back... sent with all my love...
Please know that I am with you... on this Mother's Day......And also in the days ahead.... God and I will never stray...We will be with you in the morning.... when you wake and see the sun...We will be with you when you say your prayers.... when the day is done...
For God and I will never be.... very far from your side...For I can now be everywhere and God will be your guideSo... remember when you see dandelions... it's your guarantee...that I am always' close to you...For dandelions are free to roam... now just like me.
I will always' be with you Mom...Happy Mother's DayLove, Your in Heaven

For the people who understand and long for their children it is very frustrating to watch the people who do not take the time with their children or are willing to help the families in need.
Susan, I have a feeling it is going to be a difficult week end. I am thinking of you.

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 appearA rather strange idea, I see everything from here.I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a cardA card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagineExcept I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.She is still a mother too, no matter where I resideI had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to knowThat 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 nightShe plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwellsShe writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earthI must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worthShe needs to be honored, and remembered tooJust as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your bestI have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.Find a way to tell her, how much she means to meUntil I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

I praise you for all you do!I like your invitation to anyone to visit a hospital room of children. I do not understand how anyone can just bypass a child in need or their family.
Susan, I hope that you are doing well. I miss your emails and think of you so often.
My friend found this poem for Brian and want to share it with you Jeff
It must be very difficult To be a man in grief, Since "men don't cry" and "men are strong" No tears can bring relief.
It must be very difficult To stand up to the test And field calls and visitors So she can get some rest.
They always ask if she's all right And what she's going through But seldom take his hand and ask, "My friend, but how are you?"
He hears her crying in the night And thinks his heart will break And dries her tears and comforts her But "stays strong" for her sake.
It must be very difficult To start each day anew And try to be so very brave ~ He lost his baby too. . .

Letter to Mom
Mom, please don’t feel guiltyIt was just my time to go.I see you are still feeling sad,And the tears just seem to flow.
We all come to earth for our lifetime,And for some it’s not many yearsI don’t want you to keep cryingYou are shedding so many tears.
I haven’t really left youEven though it may seem so.And I’m closer to you than you know.
Just believe that when you say my nameI’m standing next to you,I know you long to see me,But there’s nothing I can do.

Christmas Without You
The lights are blinking merrilyThe tinsel’s on the treeIt sits there in the windowFor all the world to see.
The house is filled with hollyAnd pinecone scents the airThe Christmas cards keep comingEach one is hung with care.
The gifts are tied with ribbons redAnd topped with pretty bowsI’m done with all the detailsAs far as Christmas goes.
The fire is softly glowingI think about your touchBut Christmas isn’t ChristmasI miss you oh, so much.
If I could have just anythingMy Christmas wish would beTo wake up in the morningAnd find you here with me.
Staring at your pictureI long to be set freeTonight the tears are streamingAs I hold it next to me.
Flakes of snow swirl through the airI’m braced for stormy weatherI wait for brighter days aheadWhen we can be together.
So hold a place in heaven Someday when life is through I’ll be the Christmas angelWho shares this day with you.
MY CHRISTMAS ANGEL

Angel Katelyn's mom, Debbie <miraclegirl101@hotmail.com>Ontario, Canada, - Saturday, December 24, 2005 10:15 PM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I found your website through Angel Katelyn Laforets webpage. Katelyn's family and mine became forever joined in friendship when we met in the hospital. Katelyn was my daughters best friend and they earned their wings three weeks apart. Your daughter is truly beautiful and I am so sorry for your loss. It's clear how dearly she was loved. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers this Christmas.Toby (Angel Caillin's mommy) <toby.fairservice.i4xq@statefarm.com>Oshawa, ON - Friday, December 23, 2005 3:45 PM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hello and Happy Holidays to all of you. Your family remains in my thoughts and prayers. We only visit Wisconsin and their wonderful staff every other month now because our Jimmy continues to do well. We too are so grateful for what they have done for our son, and most especially for the many friends we had met while living there. Stephanie's site looks beautiful, and your entry spoke a million words. I am sure your angel is so very proud of you. Thank you.

Angel Katelyn's mom, Debbie <miraclegirl101@hotmail.com>Ontario, Canada, - Tuesday, December 20, 2005 10:38 AM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Greetings Ott family,My name is Tom Straka and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for visiting my son, Jamie's, web-site. My brother (who maintains the site) forwarded your e-mail on to my wife and me.
I spent about 3+ hours reading every journal entry on Stephanie's web-site. I was deeply moved. We would consider it an honor to have Jamie associated with your beautiful and heroic daughter by placing him on her web-site.
Thank you for all your efforts to shed light on this little known, but vicious disease. We too had never heard of SAA until it struck our five year old son. Like you (and many others), we were blessed with being led to Dr. Margolis. We are at peace knowing he is receiving the best medical care available. Currently, things are going well but this disease has taught us to take everything day by day (and sometimes hour by hour).
Happy belated birthday to Stephanie. Peace and strength to you during the upcoming holidays.Tom Straka <JThomasS21@aol.com>Peosta, IA United States - Tuesday, December 20, 2005 0:31 AM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi Susan and Jeff,It is just a quick note tonight as it is getting late.

I noticed your daughter was born the same year as ours. My heart breaks for your family and wish you all prayers and hope over the Christmas holidays. I cannot begin to imagine losing my oldest girl or any child. You write about loving your children now (how true) I can tell you last night my heart was light watching my 15 and 12 year old girls build a snowman and play in the snow. I secretly took their pictures through a window and thanked God for the blessing. Hold on to her memory and God Bless.Laura MichaelisLaura Michaelis <klmichaelis@sympatico.ca>Tecumseh, Canada - Friday, December 16, 2005 3:23 PM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------JEFF & SUSAN,i THINK OF YOU GUYS LOTS WONDERING WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF WE HAVE NEVER MET IN CHW. I KNOW DOUG AND STEPH ARE WATCHING OVER OUR FAMLIES AND TAKING CARE OF EACH OTHER. JEFF WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT STEPH BEING AT THE HOSPITAL WITH THE OTHER KIDS I FEEL THE SAME WAY.I KNOW IT IS HARD BUT YOU WILL FEEL BETTER AFTER TALKING TO DR. MARGOLIS AND SEEING ALL THE STAFF IT WAS HARD AT FIRST BUT IT WAS LIKE A CALMING FEELING CAME OVER ME WHEN WE GOT THERE IT WAS HARDER TO LEAVE THEN TO GO IN I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS ONCE AGAIN LEAVING WITHOUT DOUG. I CAN SO RELATE TO ALL YOU HAVE WRITTEN ON YOUR PAGE. I KNOW I HAVE TO KEEP GOING ON FOR OUR OTHER TWO CHILDREN JUST LIKE YOU GUYS DO FOR WILLIAM BUT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR IS BY FAR THE WORST. I LOVE YOU GUYS AND I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON AND A BETTER 2006. LOVE ALWAYS DEBBIE.DEBBI WHEELAND <debbidoo60@yahoo.com>GENOA, IL USA - Thursday, December 15, 2005 8:53 PM CST --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I got this link from my adorable niece's website.I was reading your story about being a bereved parent and it deeply touched me. I can't even begin to imagine what a parent goes through to lose a child. As i watch my sister and her husband go through losing a child it just breaks my heart to see that sparkle gone from their eyes. I look at pictures of them with thier daughter and they had such a glow on their face and a twinkle in thier eyes and it is not there anymore. The pain shows in their eyes no matter how much they try to hide it.If anyone says "to get over it" they have never walked in someone's shoes that has been in this situation.People say it gets easier, but I don't believe this statement.
Your daughter is very beautiful and Heaven must be a very special place with all these amazing children.

I am thinking and praying for your family often, and I continue to be amazed by the generosity and love you all deliver to other families in pain, despite your own. It may not sound like a big deal to you, but it really is. Thank you for all that you do.

I know you have some wonderful memories of her and thank you for sharing some with us.Sandi <sadams@modempool.com>Jackson, MI - Tuesday, October 25, 2005 3:27 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wow, as I read your story on the main page the feelings run through me. I can understand your need to help others, not being able to leave the webpages without signing guest books and never forgetting the children who are too young to be fighting these battles, they haven’t even had time to do the wrong things in life to deserve what they were delivered. I also don’t understand how people can just ‘forget’ about them.
As I go through your history and read about the boxes in your basement, I understand the emotions, wanting the memories near you always but dreading the feelings that they will also bring. It has only been 7 months for us but I cannot see these emotions changing, I worry that I am alone and should be able to move on someday. After reading your page now I understand that I too am normal, it is not going to change for a long time.
We too have friends that think we are ‘ok, doing great’ and no, we are not either. Sometimes I think they just want to BELIEVE that we are ok so they don’t have to deal with it themselves, it is hard for everyone around to think about losing a child.
I have only read a few entries but know I will find myself reading your entire page over the next little while…….your daughter is beautiful.
Thanks for visiting our page and signing our guestbook, I appreciate you emailing me the link to your webpage. I will be back to visit your page frequently.
Bless you both!
When angels sense you need them, and angels always do, They come, unseen, from everywhere to help and comfort you... They hover close beside you till all your cares are gone -- Then fly away to other hearts so you can carry on... But one, at least, stays with you as your constant friend and guide, For guardian angels never leave -- they're always at your side.

Norma Jabbari--Yashar's Mom <NLJabbari@Peoplepc.com>San Jose, CA - Sunday, October 16, 2005 1:13 AM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------To the parents of Stephanie,
Words cannot express my deepest sympathy for what you are going through and what you have gone through. Words can be very cruel and i'm not here to say that you should just get over it. As a parent who's lost a child myself, I fully understand that we will NEVER just get over it. Yes, we should move on with our lives, but that doesn't mean that the pain isn't still there.
You will remain in my heart, in my prayers, today and always. May God bless you.Lynn Garland, TX usa - Friday, October 14, 2005 7:17 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Susan and Jeff,
I think of your family every day. I don't know how else to thank you and Steph for being our guardian angels...all of you.Kristy and Mia <kristy@wt.net>San Antonio, tx - Thursday, October 13, 2005 3:13 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------As a mother whose 5 yr old daughter is currently going thru AA treatment, I stumbled upon your site. I have , however, heard your names and , of course, Stephanie's, many times in my explorations of this cruel disease. Please know that there are many people who have recd great comfort and support from you and your words and Stephanie's Foundation.I do not know you but have cried for your daughter.And for you.Stephanie is spreading her wings and affecting other's.I am sure she is with God and helping fight for the other children here who are still stuck fighting this monster called Aplastic Anemia. God Bless you!!!Sherri Kitzberger <sherri_ffg@msn.com>Cleveland Heights, OH USA - Monday, October 10, 2005 6:28 PM CDT --------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was checking in and wanted to say hello. I can't imagine the pain you feel but I could never tell you to just move on or forget it. Stephanie was a beautiful, special girl who was lost at an age that just seems way too young. But I think those perfect little kittens are her way of telling you that she is okay and is with you...I know she is always with you, looking over you and your family...and believe me, I know she is with me too. I haven't felt this peaceful about life in years. It is a true blessing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful daughter with everyone, and for using the pain and sadness you feel from losing your daughter to help other people. You are truly good people with a beautiful angel as a part of your family.
