Jacquie and Family- WOW…2 GOOD DAYS IN A ROW!! AND WALKING SO MANY LAPS!! WHAT A GIRL!! HUGS TO YOU ALL AND KNOW YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS … Have a FEEL GOOD DAY!!! thoughts and prayers from Fairport! Lynn
Good Morning Jax! I have a picture in my office and when I look at it it reminds me of you and this horrible battle you are bravely fighting. I’ts a beautiful picture of one man running on an endless road with nothing around him but desert and mountains. It has the definition of the word “Success”..it says…”The race is not always to the swift, but to those who keep on running”. You keep on running my brave little soldier, and with all the love and support from everyone around you, we WILL win this battle–together. I love you so much and pray for you, always. Stay strong and never stop BELIEVING!!
Dearest Jacquie, Sorry I haven’t written for a while, but I’ve been reading every day. I miss you so much and I’m so jealous of your “visitors”. Please keep fighting and we’ll keep praying! Bash and Sara said to say “hi”. Love, Charlie
Jacquie, Its great to hear that you are doing so well- you must be getting ready to two step with me! Do not listen to Aunt Sheryl I have overcome my two left feet- Just like you are going to overcome this cancer thing. And I can carry a tune but it has to be in a brown paper bag. See you on the 29th Love Uncle Mark
HOLY SCHNIKIES!!!!! (or is it shnikies? shnikes? I have no idea) anyway, HOLY TOOT!!! 286 LAPS?!?!?!?! Cheez whiz, who am I writing to, Super Woman? no no no, how could I forget, its WONDER WOMAN I can’t wait to get you a tiara like the wonder woman in the comic books has for you to wear all the time, and no one will even give you weird looks or question why you are wearing it because it will be so apparent that you are entitled to wear a tiara 100% of the time, because you are, after all, the wonder woman! (well you & sharon are both, you two can share the title haha). And is it any coincidence that Wonder Woman’s signature colors are the same as the Bills? I think noooooooot. I am SOOOOOOO proud of you!!! Holy guacamole, cancer takes its best shot and you and you just keep beating it down, throwing it jabs, hooks, upper cuts, lower cuts (is there such a thing?) until its cowering in the corner crying “Uncle”. Well you keep it up, you keep on showing cancer who is boss!!!! KEEP ON FIGHTING!! Jac, Sharon, Torey, TJ… WE ARE ALL behind AND beside you ALL of the time, 100%! You are NEVER alone, you have a mega surplus of people out there, all across the nation, who love you, BELIEVE in you, and are supporting you 100%. STAY STRONG TINK!!!WE BELIEVEIn my heart and on my mindxoxoxo<3 delisha<3
Hi Jax and fam….Dan Magill’s mom again! I have been thinking and thinking about how to give you some relief from this horrible monster. I thought that in your ’spare” time, perhaps you could use your wonderful educational talent and pair it with your wonderful compassion for the children who are inflicted with this monster and write a children’s book! I think you would do an awesome job writing about a subject area that you are dealing with, yet, flavor it with the love and compassion for education and kids. I think children really just need to hear about how it really sucks and how to think happy thoughts. You could even interview the kids for ideas….anyways, you can ask Samm…I do tend to blather on…but I hope this is something you would consider. It would be such a positive thing for you to do…help kids to keep believing! Peace and prayers, Olha Magill
Hi Jacquie, I just want you to know you are in my prayer’s every day. Your grandmother keeps me informed about you as well as your web site. I know your a fighter and you have the greatest suppport group in your family and friends. Keep fighting and I’ll keep praying. Keep Believing. Take care. Santa
Hi Jacquie, The kids and I will be heading back to NM tomorrow. You and your family will be close in thought and heart though! ALWAYS. It is really cool that your new house is right aound the corner from my parents. I look forward to the next time we are home and we can do the short walk and see YOU! Keep getting better and better and stronger and stronger and always believe. We believe in you and your family- Love, Sara
Jacquie, You continue to inspire sooooo many of us. Remember, it’s not how big the dog is, it’s how big the fight is in the dog!!! Now, I am not saying You are a dog, just an anology!!! You are a feisty fantastic fabulous Tinkerbell!! Looking forward to more Good News! Love, Betsy PS If You were a Dog, what kind would you like to be??
Jax, Iam glad to hear that your up and around. I talked to your dad the other day to get my project underway.I truley hope this works and i can get some more support for you.Hay i will try anything. now that every thing is ending and i will have more time to work on this things will come together faster,. Well just think your mom and dad as coaches and T.J. they will have you doing those laps faster then you think. God its a good thing my mom is not here she would of had you do all of it soon as the doctor said go.Can you picture you on the last 10 and her saying go what are you tired not yet here ill helpyou as she would push you herself. just dont throw up, oh your mom can clean it up. no orangjuice. remember those days. all i can do is laugh you were so small.Any ways the puppy is leaving eveything alone. has been pretty good for the most part. Her play day starts at 2:30am jumping on top of me in bed. then all hell breaks lose when she gets Takoda up. my neighbors got to love it I let them go at it till they drop yes they get in their cageat 6:45am and fall a sleep when i am ready to walk out the door for work. i wish i can break it butin time all of this will work out. any ways i got to go and i will write soon. tell every one we all said hello god bless and keep strong love the Banks crew.
Dearest love, You have already come so far in the past few weeks. You are so incredible and keep on proving how strong you are. This battle smells like indian food in a babys diaper but its not stopping you. I wish I had your endurance and strength. Your perseverance is incredible. Stay strong and remember that thousands of people are supporting you every minute of everyday. (You’re so popular) <3, Brinabear
Jacquie, Congratulations on 40 laps. Great step in the right direction. I can’t wait for the 330 lap day and the day I see you walk out of Roswell. I can’t even imagine how many people are going to be there that day and how great that is going to be. You have so many people that care so strongly about you and your family. It also must feel good to get your “hall pass” and be able to get out of your room. I know I don’t have to tell you to keep fighting, Jacquie I believe in you. Jim Rusin
Hi jacquie, You dont know me, but i know of your story through your co-worker at GBGC, Lindsay Yaeger. She would keep me updated of your progress, as I listened to her caring concern of your well-being. I have just finished personally reading every single update on here from the beginning, and commend you for pushing through every single up and down, no matter how deep it goes. Your story has given me the final push to actually participate in the ride for Roswell. The farthest I have ever gone is about 30 miles. I signed up for the whole 62 something miles. The reasoning behind this, is that people, such as yourself do not have a choice as to how much pain you go through, so i will put myself through what will undoubtably be a very difficult challenge to truely feel satisified with myself that I rode for a real cause. If this was not obvious yet, I am Riding in your honor. Also, I am a blood donor but could just as easily donate platelets. From my understanding, you can use platelets from just about anyone, but do you know if you can use O+ blood? I would rather donate whichever you could actually use. And do I have to donate at roswell, or does the “Green Sticker” thing work at any Red Cross Blodd donor location? I think my main reason for writing to you is that prayers for you extend far beyond just family and friends…well the friends that you know about. I hope I didnt bombard you with too many questions. Stay strong and LiveSTRONG as we all continue to unendingly Believe! -Believer -Joe Browning ilovemudruns@hotmail.com
i’m just gonna start writing down and listing all of the new country songs i hear at work so you can sing along with me. they’re really starting to get to me, jac. i find myself like slapping my thighs and singing with that awful twang that they sing with. i think it’s all your fault. love and miss you. thanks for the reply text… it made me sooo happy. P.S. i happened upon this quote from good old MLK Jr. Hope you like it…. If you lose hope, somehow you lose the vitality that keeps life moving, you lose that courage to be, that quality that helps you go on in spite of it all. And so today I still have a dream. keep hopin and doin it jacko. we all sure are. love always and everywhere, your little one.
hello dear girl, what an awsome accomplishment, 40 big ones!!!! yippee! i hope you are proud, you should be. believing ever moment of every day. aunt val
Hey Jax, 40 laps-WOW!!!! That is Fantastic! One day at a time, laps every day, you’ll be home in no time! I’m so happy to hear about all the people you can see now that you’re back in Buffalo, that must be really great. We’re visiting you on line every day! With love, Aunt Indie
Hiii!! I’m glad things are looking up a little! And SO glad you get to get off your floor!! You continue to amaze everyone who knows you. Stay strong and keep fighting the fight. I know it’s frustrating and so hard sometimes but it will be worth it. I can’t wait for the day you get to just remember this experience and not be going through it. Love you lots and I’m thinking of you constantly!!!!ALWAYS BELIEVING!!!<3 Sadie
Hey Jax: Sorry it’s been so long. This darn computer doesn’t work all the time but finally this morning it is! I’m glad to hear that you’re doing a little bit better. Just remember to take it one day at a time and each set back as it comes. You will get through it. I know it’s not easy but just remember that you have soooo many friends and family standing right behind you each and every step you take. So if you fall back, we are here to pick you up! We love you so much and are so proud of how strong you are. Keep on fighting, you will beat this! I’ll talk to you soon. I love you and I BELIEVE!!!
Good Morning Jacquie, Great job with 40 laps! hat is awesome and 330…well that is not that many more at the rate you are going. Also glad to hear you can move about the floors a bit more there. That sounds like you are moving forward and are closer to the steps of moving out and home. so keep doing all that you are, know that so many are with you, behind you and ahead of you and just keep fighting!! Wishing you to feel better- Sara
Hey Jacquie, I can finally write on this because I’m at work and not using my Mac! I’ve been reading your updates daily, and I saw TJ last month and he told me about how strong you and your whole family has been (although I could already tell from reading the posts). And more importantly how strong you will continue to be. So keep up the good work and believing, and I’ll keep praying and believing on my end. One day this will be over, and you will be able to look back and realize you accomplished the greatest hurdle, or in your case dive ever. I need to get back to work before I get in trouble:) -Brian Pittelli
Hi Jax,So glad to hear some of your complications are getting easier for you. I hope you realize just how much an inspiration you are to all of us. I am extremely proud to call you my sister. Brooks and I really want to come visit you soon, when you feel up to it of course. Remember we all believe in you and I know you have the fight in you to kick this cancer’s butt!!Loving and believing always,Melissa
who is the strongest, bravest, prettiest, funniest, most cancer b*tt kicking lady in the world??? Oh my oh my, it just so happens to be my lovely and dear friend Jacquie Hirsch!!!!!I hope you keep on improving, its the small steps that will eventually get you to the finish line! Just remember the turtle (or is it the tortoise?), well whichever it is, just think of him. Each small improvement is a step in the right direction and you are (slowly) — SURELY getting yourself there! You are AMAZING, I honestly am in awe everyday when I read the posts, of your continued strength, courage, and will to keep on fighting this battle day in and out. Keep up the fight, you are doing AMAZING. I love you soooo much!!!WE BELIEVE<3 delisha <3
Hey Jax, Missin you like crazy and its only been 2 days. I hope your feeling well, and your days are cruzin by. Keep kickin butt like you have been!! Always thinking about you! Miss you, talk to you soon. Love you! Billy
Hi Jacquie, It is me again…my mom suggested I tell you this story as you and your mom might get a small laugh from it. So the day after I donated the platelets I called the donor center to find out my blood type as I did not even know and mom did not have it documented in my baby records. I am listening to my voice mail and my mom is sort of reprimanding Elise or lecturing in a sense about something and I said once ” Oh I am B+”. She does not hear me so I again say “I am B +”. Suddenly my mom turns, gives me the look and proceeds to give me a wack and says “would you eave me alone already”. Now I am confused because she had been wondering…finally I say something,she cracks up and is like “oh my gosh, I thought you were giving me a hard time telling me to be positive with Elise”. She missed the “I am”. I hope it has been a decent day and that you have a good night sleep. Take care of you and hi to your mom. Love, Sara
Hi Jaquie Just wanted to tell you that the author of Crazy Sexy Cancer was on Oprah yesterday …and she is a beautiful, beautiful woman…(much like you). She had such a great attitude and recently was married. She eats all whole foods ; for breakfast she juices cucumbers, celery, and whatever ’green’s are in the fridge..she swears that it is delicious! She calls her tumors on her liver ..’beauty marks’…and believes that she cannot control the cancer but she can control her reaction to it (again much like you) Keep believing. Me, Autumn, Brianna and Alyssa are going to Disney World in August, we will try to find a special tinkerbell for you! Hope you sleep well tonight and know that i am praying for you.
Hi Jacquie, OK, Well, since I really like you and you and your family mean so much to me, I will let it slide that my brother in his attempts to make you laugh does so at my expense. THAT is a good thing and quite OK with me…If it were for anyone else though, I might have to be switching my flight for Sat. to stop over in Phoenix before going to Albuquerque so I could beat him up. Sometimes he needs a little of that to bring him back down to reality. We don’t want his ego to grow too much too fast. Thinking of you and your family, constantly and just wishing you a better day, better minute, better moment than the last one. Hang tight and fight. Love, Sara and family
Hey Jax……just an fyi–Uncle Mark couldn’t carry a tune if we gave it to him in a paper bag. So be careful and wear protective shoes if you plan on doing the Two Step (or what ever step he can do!) on the 29th!!!
hey jax, Keep fighting, you ARE so strong and you WILL beat this. We are ALL behind you 100%! I love you and miss you so much. Thinking and praying for you always Jacquie. WE ALL BELIEVE IN YOU! ~amanda
Keep believing with your positive attitude, and remember we’re all behind you believing with the same positive attitude. When things get hard, I always think of what you’re going through and it really helps to put things in perspective. You really are an inspiration to all of us.Love in SDT,JenP.S. When are you going to get a book/DVD deal?
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know we were thinking of you. It was so nice to see you the other day! Good news, the sunburn is fading and I am starting to look more like a human again! Olivia misses you like crazy! I’ll come by real soon with more pics. See you soon Tink!
Hi Jacquie, Glad to see you are feeling a little better! Now we all have to pray extra hard to get those counts up! Keep those postive thoughts,postive attitude, and never stop looking forward to tomorrow! You are doing a wonderful job! We KNOW you can do this! Clapping Praying BELIEVING Missy
hey there dear girl, well, sara left me again today…earlish in the morning and elise came to be in bed with me and she wanted connor to change the tv because she was afraid of batman…finally we worked it out and we chatted from time to time and she watched ’noggin’. THEN she shattered every little bit of self esteem i HAD! the blessed little thing told me my “breath smelled”. [how do you explain morning breath to a 5 year old]. then she proceeded to ask “why do your arms jiggle like that gram?” of course when sara returned and i filled her in, she laughed like crazy…i didn’t quite get the humor. we made cards for you today and they will be coming your way. stay the course my dear girl and know that we all believe!!! love, jiggles [aunt val]
Hello! The “Crazy, Sexy Cancer” girl was on Oprah today. Of course I thought of you the whole time – you’re our Crazy SexyCancer girl!!! I’m thinking of you nonstop as always. Keep fighting and being amazing, wonderful you!! WE ALWAYS BELIEVE!!!<3 Sadie

Hey Jax: Sorry it’s been so long. This darn computer doesn’t work all the time but finally this morning it is! I’m glad to hear that you’re doing a little bit better. Just remember to take it one day at a time and each set back as it comes. You will get through it. I know it’s not easy but just remember that you have soooo many friends and family standing right behind you each and every step you take. So if you fall back, we are here to pick you up! We love you so much and are so proud of how strong you are. Keep on fighting, you will beat this! I’ll talk to you soon. I love you and I BELIEVE!!!

That sounds like you are moving forward and are closer to the steps of moving out and home. so keep doing all that you are, know that so many are with you, behind you and ahead of you and just keep fighting!! Wishing you to feel better- Sara

Hey Jacquie, I can finally write on this because I’m at work and not using my Mac! I’ve been reading your updates daily, and I saw TJ last month and he told me about how strong you and your whole family has been (although I could already tell from reading the posts). And more importantly how strong you will continue to be. So keep up the good work and believing, and I’ll keep praying and believing on my end. One day this will be over, and you will be able to look back and realize you accomplished the greatest hurdle, or in your case dive ever. I need to get back to work before I get in trouble:) -Brian Pittelli

Hi Jacquie, It is me again…my mom suggested I tell you this story as you and your mom might get a small laugh from it. So the day after I donated the platelets I called the donor center to find out my blood type as I did not even know and mom did not have it documented in my baby records. I am listening to my voice mail and my mom is sort of reprimanding Elise or lecturing in a sense about something and I said once ” Oh I am B+”. She does not hear me so I again say “I am B +”. Suddenly my mom turns, gives me the look and proceeds to give me a wack and says “would you eave me alone already”. Now I am confused because she had been wondering…finally I say something,she cracks up and is like “oh my gosh, I thought you were giving me a hard time telling me to be positive with Elise”. She missed the “I am”. I hope it has been a decent day and that you have a good night sleep. Take care of you and hi to your mom. Love, Sara

Hi Jaquie Just wanted to tell you that the author of Crazy Sexy Cancer was on Oprah yesterday …and she is a beautiful, beautiful woman…(much like you). She had such a great attitude and recently was married. She eats all whole foods ; for breakfast she juices cucumbers, celery, and whatever ’green’s are in the fridge..she swears that it is delicious! She calls her tumors on her liver ..’beauty marks’…and believes that she cannot control the cancer but she can control her reaction to it (again much like you) Keep believing. Me, Autumn, Brianna and Alyssa are going to Disney World in August, we will try to find a special tinkerbell for you! Hope you sleep well tonight and know that i am praying for you.

Hi Jacquie, OK, Well, since I really like you and you and your family mean so much to me, I will let it slide that my brother in his attempts to make you laugh does so at my expense. THAT is a good thing and quite OK with me…If it were for anyone else though, I might have to be switching my flight for Sat. to stop over in Phoenix before going to Albuquerque so I could beat him up. Sometimes he needs a little of that to bring him back down to reality. We don’t want his ego to grow too much too fast. Thinking of you and your family, constantly and just wishing you a better day, better minute, better moment than the last one. Hang tight and fight. Love, Sara and family

Hey Jax……just an fyi–Uncle Mark couldn’t carry a tune if we gave it to him in a paper bag. So be careful and wear protective shoes if you plan on doing the Two Step (or what ever step he can do!) on the 29th!!!

Keep believing with your positive attitude, and remember we’re all behind you believing with the same positive attitude. When things get hard, I always think of what you’re going through and it really helps to put things in perspective. You really are an inspiration to all of us.Love in SDT,JenP.S. When are you going to get a book/DVD deal?

hey there dear girl, well, sara left me again today…earlish in the morning and elise came to be in bed with me and she wanted connor to change the tv because she was afraid of batman…finally we worked it out and we chatted from time to time and she watched ’noggin’. THEN she shattered every little bit of self esteem i HAD! the blessed little thing told me my “breath smelled”. [how do you explain morning breath to a 5 year old]. then she proceeded to ask “why do your arms jiggle like that gram?” of course when sara returned and i filled her in, she laughed like crazy…i didn’t quite get the humor. we made cards for you today and they will be coming your way. stay the course my dear girl and know that we all believe!!! love, jiggles [aunt val]
