I’m glad to hear you had a good day today, keep the spirits up and know that we all love you and are praying for you! God bless, Casey
Hi- ALWAYS, always always, thinking of you both and wishing you better and better moments all along the way. Sending my strength and energy your way. Love, Sara
LOUANNE!!!! Thanks god it wasn’t Ramona! That woman is NUTS! I have to admit that Luanne was my fav. Did you have to kersey? LOL When I met the Sara Fergusson I almost peeded my pants! I was raking my brain as to what the “royal” thing to do to greet her. In my mental turmoil I think I bowed!! Glad that you are feeling better and are back at Hope! Counting down the days until your home! Love to you both!

Jax (and Sharon). Am sure you are glad to be back at Hope. The last few weeks should start to fly by. Spring is here and you will probably come to miss that special time you two have had to bond in NYC. Summer is a great time to be in Buffalo, and looks as if you both will be there soon enough. All your fans are waiting-just keep believing!
Hi Jacquie and Sharon too! I hope this day finds you feeling well and eating lots!! Day 84 ! High fives to you both! Clapping, Praying, Beleiving Missy
Dear Ms. Jacquie, All the very, very best from the Long family. Thought you may be getting tired of our cards, so a little change of pace is called for! ( but admit it is not the smae without those good looking “hunks” as an attachment) We are watching your progress on the site, and are behind you and thinking of you. Won’t be long until you are out there in Central Park with that great Mom of yours. Keep up that wonderful spirit, and then we will all get to see that great smile very shortly. The Longs
Hi Lovely!!!! I love that post!! I love that you are the star of the support meeting – you’re just inspiring people far and wide – it’s AMAZING!! The weather is getting nicer and I hope you are enjoying the terrace. I was on that terrace in November and I think it was snowing so I’m sure it’s much better now! So I still have “Jacquie on a stick” and I thought you should know that you reside in my birthday mug from the vital which holds my pens and whatnot. I thought that was a place Jacquie on a stick would enjoy. haha. Anyways I love you and am thinking of you constantly!!!! You are amazing and strong and getting so close to day ONE HUNDRED!!We Believe Always. <3 Sadie
I am so happy to hear that you are feeling better. I’m leaving for California on Thursday to go to my niece’s wedding. I came on line tonight to get a dose of courage from you because I am scared stiff to fly. When I get back, I’ll be sure to check in on you again. Stay strong. My love to you and your Mom.
Jacquie, as a teacher,you must have noticed I am the worst speller on the face of the earth!!! I think part of the problem is I cant type as fast as I can talk! Come to think of it , I cant do anything as fast as I can Talk!!! Clapping Praying BELEIVING Missy
Hi Jacquie! 17 days until day 100! Never in my life have I looked so forward to a count down!! It was so nice to read from your moms updates how much you are able to help people facing some of the same things you have had to . Your words must have been such a comfort to them and their families as well. You have such a gift Jacquie of being able to connect well with people, and making them feel so at ease with you. That gift will serve you well in the years to come as a teacher! Always Clapping Praying,BELIEVING Missy
GOOD MORNING MY MOST BEATUIFUL JACQUIE!!! I was not surprised to read that you are helping give other paitents tips during the support meeting!!! You always have been able to help others (its one of the many reasons I love you…)!! Anyways I hope the next 3 1/2 weeks or so FLY by (which Im sure they will between meeting famous people and partying around the Hope Lodge you’re pretty busy)…so I was thinking when you come home should I get my dad to put a pool in with a dome over it?? So it will be another great summer out poolside!! LOVE YOU MISS YOU!! YOU’RE THE GREATEST JACUQIE HIRSCH EVER!! XOXO Ashley!!
Jacquie, You are such an inspiration to so many. To read your updates and hear how you continue to fight, and press on even with the little “bumps” in the road is so encouraging. It puts everything in perspective. Your willingness to reach out to others even while you are going through this tough fight is amazing and so many people can learn from your example. Please know that our family continues to pray for you and we look forward to seeing you at the gym real soon!! Sharon, you exemplify what a mom should be . . . your ability to stay strong through this entire trial has been amazing. God bless you both!

Happy Mother’s Day Sharon. I thought of you both yesterday. Did you both hear about coach al going to help the olympic team. Wow what a long way from al’s heart surgery and we heard he is training to swim the english channel. What a difference 7 years can make and how wonderful that he had the strength and courage and determination to get where he is today. I know that you both have all the same traits that will get you through this and we can’t wait to hear about the wonderful things in store for you in the future. I believe we all do.

Sharon, I hope you had a great Mothers Day. You are the best and an inspiration to us all. I’m sure in time you will look back on Mother’s Day 2008 as a very special day. It is the time in your life where your family pulled together ,with you leading the way ,and created a miracle of recovery. Not many people would ever be as strong as you and win under the most difficult of circumstances. Jax, I know you are hanging in. 100 days is coming on fast. Dr. Smith asked about you again the other day. I told him you were doing great and getting ready to work in Williamsville. The kids you teach will be very lucky. I think about you both every day. Jim Rusin

I know how thankful Jacquie is to have you as a Mom so I’m sure todays was special for both of you!! I miss you guys tons keep staying strong!! Always in my thoughts and prayers! xoxoxoxo Ashley!
Hi, Jax (I feel I can call you that now!!!) — So sorry to read that you had to go back to Sloan, but it must be comforting to know what great care you’re getting. As I’m sure you are, just stay focused on Day 100… what an amazing homecoming you’ll have!!! And, to Sharon … I’ve been thinking of you all day… HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to the most amazing mom ever!!! As a relatively “new” mom, I can’t thank you enough for being such an incredibly positive role model for all us mothers out here that continue to be inspired by what you are doing for your whole family! There’s no doubt that Jacquie, TJ and Torey are so proud of you! We all are! And, of course, as always… WE BELIEVE! Love — Elise, Marty, Quintin, Aidan, Gabriel & Fiona
Happy Mother’s Day Sharon. I am keeping you especially close in my prayers today. Jacquie, I am praying the fever is down and you can bust out of there! 100 days is coming very soon! Thank God. Hugs to all the Hirsch’s.

Hello to my favorite cousin: I’m so sorry to hear that you are back in Sloan. But at least you’re on the floor that you’re comforable with. And the mini bike is back? YEAH!!! I know you really missed it! (LOL) I wonder if we can get you one of those for home? (Since it’s right around the corner.) I can’t even BELIEVE that the 100 days is just about over. I am so proud of you! You are fighting your biggest battle and you WILL win in the end. I miss you like crazy. Please tell your Mom that I said, “Happy Mother’s Day” and I miss and love her dearly! You two are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Please know that it’s just not the same w/o you guys here with us. We are anxiously waiting for your arrival home. Please concentrate on your health first, though. You’re gonna need all of your strength to put up with our wacky family, you know that! Ha, ha, ha! So keep up your hard work and will power. Your are doing an amazing job. The inspirational words spoken from your Mom, Dad, and TJ in your updates are so wonderful and heart-felt. I love reading them. And I love you! KEEP BELIEVING!!!
Happy Mother’s Day Sharon!! I hope you two have a nice weekend together. Jacquie, I pray you are feeling better-you are so strong I know you will get through this. You are so close to being home in Buffalo, Keep up the awesome work!! I love you and miss you!! WE BELIEVE! ~amanda
HAPPY MOTHER’s DAY SHARON!!!!! We are just checking up on your updates and talking about what a wonderful, amazing mother you have been all year and all the years through!

Jacquie and Sharon- First to Sharon, Happy Mothers Day! You are truly and inspiration to everyone! You and Jacquie have change how I look and life ,family and friends.

I now wake up each morning and count my blessings each day, and am thankful for my children and family and their health. I also check daily on Jacquie, and thank you for sharing good, and bad days with all as I feel so connected to the two of you, and your family. I want you both to know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers, everyday, morning and night and I will always believe!! Jacquie, hang in there, I know for sure that you have so many people praying for you, people you dont even know! Your strength is amazing but that is something your mom and dad gave you since you were little. They instilled belief in yourself to all the little ones at the gym and did the same at home with you and TJ. Keep believing cause we are behind you 100%. Lori Antkowiak

Sharon, I hope you had a great Mothers Day. You are the best and an inspiration to us all. I’m sure in time you will look back on Mother’s Day 2008 as a very special day. It is the time in your life where your family pulled together ,with you leading the way ,and created a miracle of recovery. Not many people would ever be as strong as you and win under the most difficult of circumstances. Jax, I know you are hanging in. 100 days is coming on fast. Dr. Smith asked about you again the other day. I told him you were doing great and getting ready to work in Williamsville. The kids you teach will be very lucky. I think about you both every day.

Hi, Jax (I feel I can call you that now!!!) — So sorry to read that you had to go back to Sloan, but it must be comforting to know what great care you’re getting. As I’m sure you are, just stay focused on Day 100… what an amazing homecoming you’ll have!!! And, to Sharon … I’ve been thinking of you all day… HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to the most amazing mom ever!!! As a relatively “new” mom, I can’t thank you enough for being such an incredibly positive role model for all us mothers out here that continue to be inspired by what you are doing for your whole family! There’s no doubt that Jacquie, TJ and Torey are so proud of you! We all are! And, of course, as always… WE BELIEVE! Love — Elise, Marty, Quintin, Aidan, Gabriel & Fiona

Hello to my favorite cousin: I’m so sorry to hear that you are back in Sloan. But at least you’re on the floor that you’re comforable with. And the mini bike is back? YEAH!!! I know you really missed it! (LOL) I wonder if we can get you one of those for home? (Since it’s right around the corner.) I can’t even BELIEVE that the 100 days is just about over. I am so proud of you! You are fighting your biggest battle and you WILL win in the end. I miss you like crazy. Please tell your Mom that I said, “Happy Mother’s Day” and I miss and love her dearly! You two are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Please know that it’s just not the same w/o you guys here with us. We are anxiously waiting for your arrival home. Please concentrate on your health first, though. You’re gonna need all of your strength to put up with our wacky family, you know that! Ha, ha, ha! So keep up your hard work and will power. Your are doing an amazing job. The inspirational words spoken from your Mom, Dad, and TJ in your updates are so wonderful and heart-felt. I love reading them. And I love you! KEEP BELIEVING!!!

Jacquie and Sharon- First to Sharon, Happy Mothers Day! You are truly and inspiration to everyone! You and Jacquie have change how I look and life ,family and friends. I put myself in your shoes everyday and realize it could be me…and any time, and my life could change forever. I now wake up each morning and count my blessings each day, and am thankful for my children and family and their health. I also check daily on Jacquie, and thank you for sharing good, and bad days with all as I feel so connected to the two of you, and your family. I want you both to know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers, everyday, morning and night and I will always believe!! Jacquie, hang in there, I know for sure that you have so many people praying for you, people you dont even know! Your strength is amazing but that is something your mom and dad gave you since you were little. They instilled belief in yourself to all the little ones at the gym and did the same at home with you and TJ. Keep believing cause we are behind you 100%. Lori Antkowiak
