Beside him lughing at the dogs he said San i never seen anyone weed wack the tops of trees.I swear i cant believe i haven’t got hurt yet. still alot more work to be done i told henry ill save him some money by not going to the bar and give him some free entertainment. at least hes laughing and i am sort of getting my yard done. Well tink, i mean tiger ill keep you up dated on the yard and my neighbor and you give that big roar at those cells. keep up the faith and ill try not to lose my mind with this new puppy. i do love love her and tokoda they are my kids . man and parents have a problem with one.

Hi Jacquie, You don’t know me, but I am Jim Rusin’s secretary and you should have great sympathy for me! I also know your mom. I just wanted to wish you well and let you know that I think about you often and am so glad to see this amazing website for your family and friends. You are to be complimented on your tough fight as I know you get your strength and stamina from your family. I will check in now and then to keep updated. Say hello to your mom….she is a wonderful lady.

Hey Jax,I am so sorry about what happened. It sucks so bad, but you are soooo strong and amazing and I know you will fight through this just like you have fought through everything else. You are the strongest, most incredible person I know and not many people could do what you are doing. I believe 100% that you will get through this because you are so amazing and determined. I am glad that you are back home and with your family. Keep fighting and I will be praying for you every single day. BELIEVE because we all do!! <3

Sharon, Torey, TJ and Jax, Everyday your family amazes me. You are going through stupid, crappy, bad times and your strength and love as a family is such a blessing. I know that when there are setbacks or bad news it’s hard to keep the faith. Know that if you ever need to falter it’s okay – we all are believing for you. We will keep believing until Jax wins this fight and beyond. She will win this fight and fulfill her dreams and inspire thousands of people in the process. I feel lucky and blessed just to know you. Jax – I love you and am thinking of and praying for you constantly. xoxoxoxoWE BELIEVE!!<3 Sadie
