Hi Jax, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Torey, and TJ: You guys must be so happy to be together. It will make for a nice Easter. Oh, and I mentioned to the Easter Bunny that you guys were in the City so he’ll be sure to stop by so don’t forget to leave out some carrots! LOL… I hope ALL is well for everyone. I miss you guys so much and I think about you everyday. Today is Molson’s 3rd birthday so I’ll be taking him toPetSmart, and maybe my work, to pick out some fun toys and yummy treats. He’s getting so old. I wish they stayed puppies forever, minus the puppy “accidents”, chewing, puppy breath, sharp teeth, etc. So I hope you ALL have a wonderful day. Hold eachother tight and never forget that WE ALL BELIEVE!!! I love you =>)
Good morning, beautiful granddaughter. I hope you had a good night. I’m sure today will be a good one with your Mom, Dad and T.J. there with you. I’m so glad you’re all together again for a while. It is a good break for all of you. I miss you so much and think of you all the time. Keep up the eating,walking, etc. you’re being so awesome! Give my love to Mom, Dad and T.J. I love you SO much and I believe.
Hey love!! Thats so great that tor 1 and tor2 are back down. I really wish I were back In ny so I could see you. You’re so strong. That little heart of yours is workin overtime because its trying to make room for everyone who cares and who is thinking about you. I love you so much!!! <3 brina

I am thinking of you always, and I love you more than you know!! stay strong. WE BELIEVE <3 delisha <3 p.s. have i told you that i miss you? because i do. like craaaaaazy.
Hi Jacquie, Kelly, Kim and I have been following your journey since day 1 and all our prayers are being answered. We know how tough of a journey you are on, the girls had an aunt who went through a bone marrow transplant quite a few years ago so when we read your updates we understand. Enjoy your family this weekend, have a wonderful Easter and we are dedicating this Easter sunday mass to you. “When you wish upon a star your dreams really do come true”. Keep BElEIVING we all do!!!! All our love and continued prayers are with you and your family yesterday, today and always. Jan, Kelly and Kim
I LOVE YOU JACQUIE! Keep your head up, you are truly amazing! I hope you are enjoyig your day with your family. I look forward to an update to see how you are doing. My whole family often asks about you and how you are doing. You are such an inspiration to us all. :)Like many others, you are in all our thoughts and prayers each and every day. Keep fighting and BELIEVING! Miss you! amanda
Hi Jacquie and Sharon! We know that you’ve had a great day with Torey and TJ back in town. We’ll take care of them when they arrive here….as our job is to nourish them so they can get back to you two!!!! Another day down, keep on going! One day at a time is the way to persevere. We love you so much and are here for you always!!!!!! xoxoxoxo, Aunt Indie and Uncle Pat and the kids PS. Writing this in red for good luck!! PPS. Can’t believe the man we saw is the one with the loud TV set, that would not have gone well with me either! Someone would have had to hold me back!hahah!
Hey miss Jax, I have not stopped in to say hey in a while so figured now would be a fabulous time! Even though you cannot spend it at home, I hope you have a fabulous Easter and eat lots of chocolates and jelly beans. Everyone in church was so happy to hear how well you are doing, and of course the prayers continue to constantly flow. And I just want to say, that whenever I eat a banana I think your “eek” and it always puts a smile on my face. Even from hundreds of miles away, you are capable of making many people smile. Keep up the fight. God bless, Casey I Believe
Hi Jacquie, Well if I remember correctly your dad and TJ should be in town with you today. That is great- enjoy the time, I know you will. Let your mom know, we went to the zoo today. We took the kids gramma on Toms side and I sort of forgot it is a holiday weekend and we are off from school starting today for Spring break. Well it was almost like free day. We walked up and saw the very long 4 lines to get in and I had flashbacks of free day…when I believe we took you and TJ to the Buffalo zoo when you were itty bitty. Have a wonderful Easter and continue to rest and do your walks and all and then most of all I just wish you to feel good inside and out with each new moment!! Send a hug your moms way, from me.Love, Sara and family
Come on guess who…you got it… sunny days for weeks to come…same for you!!! my sister is a dork…”uh what floor am i on? they all look the same.” asking for diareah medicine should get you that response dont you think?
Hey Jax!!!! Happy one month!!!!I was stalking your website as I do everyday and I was reading the posts on your guestbook and I just started laughing when Stacy mentioned the shirtless founder of Taebo. I know exactly who she’s talking about and I kid you not, one time I saw him in the middle of winter (topless and shoe less) doing gymnastics across campus and I swear to goodness he leapt from one of those cement half wall things by the gazebo – did a flip in the air and landed on the other cement half wall across the way!!! INSANITY!!!Anyways I love you and am thinking of you constantly!! xoxoxoxoxo<3 SadesI BELIEVE!!!!
Dear Jacquie, Another day gone! You are doing such an outstanding job! Your are stronger and tougher than A.L.L.!! (and I do mean everybody} You prove that every day. Keep moving forward Jacquie, you ARE WINNING! Along with your Mom, Dad and T.J at your side there are THOUSANDS of people behind you! All Beliveing and sending you their strengh, through their prayers. You ARE doing it!! Clapping , Praying , BELIVEING Missy
HI JAX! So, this is soooo cool. They should call today “Great Friday” not “Good Friday” cuz I don’t have to work and I was able to sleep in =) And the first thing I was able to do, after letting the dogs out to do their business, was jump rite on thecomputer and read your updates and write to you! What a fantastic morning. I guess it makes having a “big girl, full-time” job, ok. Now I get ALL “holidays” off!!!! Anyway…I continue to cry tears of happiness every time I read your continued progress. I am so proud of you and Aunt Sharon for staying strong. What a pair the two of you make! I know how much TJ and your Dad are missing you so it’ll be soooo great when they get there 2day. And so how was seeing UncleDave? It sounds like you kids had some fun? He always makes me laugh and I know he probably did the same for you! I meant to tell you the other day that at my work, a 14 week old yellow lab puppy had her fisrt day at daycare and she is so adorable. It made me remember when Shelby was that small. That’s hard to think about…Shelby being small? LOL…I know how much you guys must miss her. I would go crazy without my dogs, and almost did. After all…I am the “dog whisperer”. But just remember that she is having a great time with the other dog. Look at how much she enjoyed that play class at the SPCA. Soon enough and this will ALL be over with and things can be as they were =>) The family trip we go on will have to be one that we can bring our dogs on, ok? Just remember that this is already over 1/4 the way gone. That is something to be so proud of. And YOU did it!! Keep up the fight and just know that WE ALL BELIEVE in you everyday ALL the time!!! I love you sooo much and I can’t wait to see you. Please send my love to your Mom, Dad, and TJ. I miss you guys!
Happy 29th day Jacquie! 29 is my favorite number so I know you are going to have a great day today 🙂 I just look reading the updates and finding out that you are doing so well – keep up the good work. Can’t wait until we can take you around nyc! I’m also looking forward to the day when we can go visit Charlie and Bash and have one of Charlie’s infamous drinks! Keep believing and your 100th day will be here before you know it! xoxo, Jenna P.S. Happy Easter!
Hey Jax! Hang in there!! You’re doing great!! Everyday your just a lil bit closer to be coming home! It’s so great that you are able to walk outside in NYC, even if it’s just one or two blocks that’s Great!! Sharon hang in there! You two are both strong and amazing people who I look up to. I can’t wait to see you both at home soon enough!
hey jacquie!!! how crazy are the people in nyc eh?! u think we’ve seen the worst at geneseo with the topless founder of taebo riding his bike around campus or the weirdo landlord with his cute puppies… but no the people of nyc are a gazillion times crazier!!!elise, jenna, flynn, kev and i would love to come visit u since we are all in nyc and we BELIEVE! hang in there love! xoxo
Hi Jacquie, I just wanted to say hello and let you know I am thinking of you. I and glad to hear your appointment time was not nearly as long as the other day. I can only imagine the waits and appointments wear on you at times. Continue to hang in there and keep pushing forward and in time it will be less and less appointments. It is comforting though that all are keeping such a close eye and monitor on you. Tonight I went to the hospital to do my volunteer work, got in the elevator and waited and waited and thought wow this is slow to only go one floor. Then I realized I pushed the same floor number I was on, as the door opened to the same floor. Luckily no one else was on with me. Please say hello to your mom and Torey and TJ as well. I hope tomorrow you feel well and have more smiles in your day than in the last. Thinking of you and sending all my strength to you and your mom. Love, Sara
hey jax! Keep staying strong, you are doing amazing. i love you so much, i hope having your dad and tj there with you and your mom helps boost your spirits! I’m sure they will! Day 28-wow-almost one month! Stay positive and know that we ALL BELIEVE IN YOU! Im glad clinic went well today for you! I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU JACQUIE! ~amanda

HELLO JACQUIE..how are you?? IM SUPER>>THANKS FOR ASKING!!! well another day goes by and you continue to dominate ALL. i was reading down past a few MILLION posts ago and my mom is “brooke” just so you know, i asked her and she goes..”what other brooke would she know” but for some reason i know you probably know pleanty..shannons made me laugh too, RAW..RAW laughter is so true when it comes to the noises you make..thinking about it really makes me miss you much more but it makes me happy to know that its making others at Hope Lodge think MAN shes loud..and begin to appriciate it! haha..like i said before i miss you so much and not a day goes by that i don’t doubt this will be over very shortly!!! i love you jax! keep on keepin on, your the best! i should also probably take my own advice aswell and write BAIT because im sure theres no one else you call that!

Jacquie, keep on going, before you know it , you’ll be one third of the way, I check on your progress every day, and today I thought, ” haven’t said hello in a while” So, Hello, and we love you, and believe in you
sharon this is for you…i tried, i really did. i went into rite aid on transit with a great attitude..i needed imodium for bob[some kind of ugly flu thing] so, of course i could not find it on my own…went around a corner and and ’ hi, can you please tell me where the imodium is?’ she looks at me like i just interupted her from the most wonderful adventure life could throw her way [she was stocking shelves at the time] without an ’oh sure, no problem or i’ll show you’ she glared at me and said ’next ailse’ and then she looked back at her shelf. i said ’thank you’ in my most bubbly voice!!! sharon, you would have been proud, but i don’t think it worked on her. i did follow thru when i went for a breast ultra sound[all is well] tho. i complemented everyone from the appointment maker to the tech and anyone in between. they all responded beautifully!! i was happy! i love you my dear, dear girl and i think of you always. you too jacquie. love, val/aunt val ps: it’s snowing
dear Jacquie, 28 claps today! Great job! all my frends clap for you to. I am going to leave a note to ask the Easter bunny to clap for you to. love corey

Hey Jax… Everyone at the dinner meeting I was at this evening was asking about you. It’s so hard to try to tell them all that has been going on. So I just told them that you are amazing and to check out all the updates on the website! I’m so glad you dad & brother are coming back down to be with you guys. I know it’s been very difficult for TJ to be away from you. Although the cousins have kept him busy making him play nurse to Angela. Glad he was with her! Seeing Aunt Indie and then Uncle David again must be great. I know you must want to see lots of people but we all know that still isn’t possible. We need to stay away will you use your strength to get better, not visit with company. My thoughts and prayers are always with you, your mom, dad & TJ. I love all of you very much & can’t wait for all of us to be together again. All my love….Aunt Deee
Hi Jax! It’s so nice to continue reading good updates. I’m so glad that you are getting through this with such a positive attitude. I can’t wait for your arrival home. The party is going to be sweet and the family vacation is gonna be even better….”MOOOVE”…”PEDRO WEARS A BIG SOMBRERO”…LOL. Oh, how we are gonna make so many more silly inside jokes! Anyway, I miss you a lot, and your mom..tell her I love her and miss her, too. I’ve seen TJ quite a bit. What a “fun”St. Patty’s Day we had.( Hope we weren’t too annoying on the phone!) Well, take care and I’ll be writing again soon. I loveyou soooo much and think about you everyday =) We Believe!! P.S. Again, my dad continues to send his love and prayers!
Dear Jaquie and SHARON TOO! Just a shout out with prayers for you every day…sounds like you are doing so well, putting one foot literally in front of the other, and your SPIRIT and FIGHT are so clear, shining through the words you write and the actions we hear described by your Mom. May you continue to be uplifted by the good thoughts, energies and prayers of those THOUSANDS saying your name to the Man Above daily! And may your family time coming up be full of love and good, healing vibes! For you ALL! Love, Alison McLean Gmerek and family

What a fantastic morning. I guess it makes having a “big girl, full-time” job, ok. Now I get ALL “holidays” off!!!! Anyway…I continue to cry tears of happiness every time I read your continued progress. I am so proud of you and Aunt Sharon for staying strong. What a pair the two of you make! I know how much TJ and your Dad are missing you so it’ll be soooo great when they get there 2day. And so how was seeing UncleDave? It sounds like you kids had some fun? He always makes me laugh and I know he probably did the same for you! I meant to tell you the other day that at my work, a 14 week old yellow lab puppy had her fisrt day at daycare and she is so adorable. It made me remember when Shelby was that small. That’s hard to think about…Shelby being small? LOL…I know how much you guys must miss her. I would go crazy without my dogs, and almost did. After all…I am the “dog whisperer”. But just remember that she is having a great time with the other dog. Look at how much she enjoyed that play class at the SPCA. Soon enough and this will ALL be over with and things can be as they were =>) The family trip we go on will have to be one that we can bring our dogs on, ok? Just remember that this is already over 1/4 the way gone. That is something to be so proud of. And YOU did it!! Keep up the fight and just know that WE ALL BELIEVE in you everyday ALL the time!!! I love you sooo much and I can’t wait to see you. Please send my love to your Mom, Dad, and TJ. I miss you guys!

Hi Jacquie, I just wanted to say hello and let you know I am thinking of you. I and glad to hear your appointment time was not nearly as long as the other day. I can only imagine the waits and appointments wear on you at times. Continue to hang in there and keep pushing forward and in time it will be less and less appointments. It is comforting though that all are keeping such a close eye and monitor on you. Tonight I went to the hospital to do my volunteer work, got in the elevator and waited and waited and thought wow this is slow to only go one floor. Then I realized I pushed the same floor number I was on, as the door opened to the same floor. Luckily no one else was on with me. Please say hello to your mom and Torey and TJ as well. I hope tomorrow you feel well and have more smiles in your day than in the last. Thinking of you and sending all my strength to you and your mom. Love, Sara

sharon this is for you…i tried, i really did. i went into rite aid on transit with a great attitude..i needed imodium for bob[some kind of ugly flu thing] so, of course i could not find it on my own…went around a corner and and ’ hi, can you please tell me where the imodium is?’ she looks at me like i just interupted her from the most wonderful adventure life could throw her way [she was stocking shelves at the time] without an ’oh sure, no problem or i’ll show you’ she glared at me and said ’next ailse’ and then she looked back at her shelf. i said ’thank you’ in my most bubbly voice!!! sharon, you would have been proud, but i don’t think it worked on her. i did follow thru when i went for a breast ultra sound[all is well] tho. i complemented everyone from the appointment maker to the tech and anyone in between. they all responded beautifully!! i was happy! i love you my dear, dear girl and i think of you always. you too jacquie. love, val/aunt val ps: it’s snowing

Hey Jax… Everyone at the dinner meeting I was at this evening was asking about you. It’s so hard to try to tell them all that has been going on. So I just told them that you are amazing and to check out all the updates on the website! I’m so glad you dad & brother are coming back down to be with you guys. I know it’s been very difficult for TJ to be away from you. Although the cousins have kept him busy making him play nurse to Angela. Glad he was with her! Seeing Aunt Indie and then Uncle David again must be great. I know you must want to see lots of people but we all know that still isn’t possible. We need to stay away will you use your strength to get better, not visit with company. My thoughts and prayers are always with you, your mom, dad & TJ. I love all of you very much & can’t wait for all of us to be together again. All my love….Aunt Deee

Anyway, I miss you a lot, and your mom..tell her I love her and miss her, too. I’ve seen TJ quite a bit. What a “fun”St. Patty’s Day we had.( Hope we weren’t too annoying on the phone!) Well, take care and I’ll be writing again soon. I loveyou soooo much and think about you everyday =) We Believe!! P.S. Again, my dad continues to send his love and prayers!
