Jax,It was soo nice to see you yesterday! I hope you enjoyed our visit as much as we did. I know it sucks and it’s frustrating, and well it’s just plain not fair. Remember you have sooo many people who care about you. We’re all believing and praying for you. I’ll be praying extra hard for good news monday. Always believing,Melissa
HI Jacquie! I wanted to tell you that I had a lot of fun yesterday getting our bums worked out by Kevin! I hope you are not as sore as I am! It was a pleasure meeting you 🙂 you are an inspiration to me. I believe.-Diana (the OT student)
Hey Jax!! As always I’m thinking and praying for you constantly. Your story has humbled me. Whenever I hear someone complaining about an ailment, or if I’m not feeling the greatest I think of you. I think of how unbelievably strong you are and how much you have endured. You are so brave and such a fighter-you can do this Jacquie. We all Believe in you. I hope this weekend finds you in better spirits and Monday you are ready to kick some cancer butt!! WE Believe, Gaudy
Hi Jacquie, Please know how very hard I am praying for you. While you rest, know that everyone of us are fighting for you with the most powerful cancer wepon…. prayer. Sharon, Tory, and T.J. please know that we will never stop fighting either. Sending so many positive thoughts through prayer, to create positive results. Those counts will go up, I belive that! Jacquie, you have been doing such an unbelievable job at at everything that has been asked of you! You are doing everything right. As you rest, please know we are all fighting for you, moving you forward through prayer. You are going to win this!Clapping Praying BELIEVING Missy
Jacquie, I couldn’t have said it better myself,’Even though its only you that the leukemia cells are attacking, its all of us who are fighting back.’ I wish we could all take a small piece of your battle as our own, divide it among all those who care about you. But we are all fighting for you by thinking about you often and believing. It is not fair for one second that you have to go through this, but I know good news is on its way. Keep going, push forward one day at a time, we are all here fighting for you. XOXO Sarah
Dear Jacquie, All our thoughts and prayers are with you, especially this weekend. You WILL BEAT this terrible disease. I know it and more importantly you know it. We Believe always. God Bless you, Harry PS please go to your AOL site, We have a small surprise for you.
Just stopped by to say HI. I hope you will be able to sneak out for a lil while next Sunday and come to the Benefit Concert and Car Show. All three bands will be performing Mustang Sally in hopes that if they play it hard and loud enough in hopes our Miss Mustang Sally will appear! And this year we’re auctioning off your brother to some unsuspecting little hottie! I hope you are feeling better and please have more good days than bad days. Thinking of you. BIGJACK.
Dear Jacquie — I’ve been praying to St. Peregrine (the patron saint of cancer patients) every night since I learned about your leukemia… I will be sure to say extra prayers this weekend. I can’t begin to imagine what you and your family have been going through all these trying months, but I truly hope you’re finding comfort and strength knowing how many of us are out here sending our most powerful, positive wishes your way on a daily basis. You will WIN this war against such an ugly enemy … none of us (aka all your “groupies” who pray for you on a daily basis — and considering how many of us there are, I’d put you in the rank of a #1 hit rock star!) have a single doubt that you won’t WIN! Hang in there this weekend… and for whenever you’re not feeling as upbeat as usual… no worries… just remember that your hordes of fans are holding you up! We love you andWE BELIEVE more than ever!!! Sending all our love, strength and best wishes your way… Elise, Marty, Quintin, Aidan, Gabriel & Fiona
Jacquie, I am sending warm wishes, good luck and all the strength I have your way. Keep fighting!! You are stronger than this and you show that every day that you keep up the fight! I, along with so many others, believe in you.
Jacquie, Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you this weekend and always. You are remembered by so many people that believe in you. You have touched so many of our lives with your positive spirit and determination! Just keep remembering how strong you are!!! We all BELIEVE… Love, Missy, Mark, Emma, Kate, and Amelia Somers
Jacquie and Family- I am so glad that you were feeling up to company today…Brooks was so glad that she was able to see you…Hopefully, they filled your ears with DRAMA!!! (Brooks certanly has that in her life-haha) We got our Jacquie stickers in the mail the other day and they are on our cars driving around Fairport now.. I know that the days are long and you are getting tired of this crappie cancer…But I am hoping as hard as I can that Monday brings good news….so, I will cross my fingers and pray harder the next couple of nights….STAY STRONG …….. AND KNOW THAT YOU HAVE A HUGE FOLLOWING….. HUGS AND SMILES FROM FAIRPORT!!! Lynn(Brooks’ mom) :)))
Jacquie,I believe in you. This is so unfair and it really stinks…. but you have bright, beautiful days ahead of you once you get through this. I believe….Barb Mueller
My heart just aches for you and what you are enduring. God works in mysterious ways, ways a human cannot understand. I’m sure the reason for all this will be revealed some day. You do not deserve this torture, and I pray every day that things will turn around and everything will start looking better. You and your family have gone through more than most people do in a lifetime. Keep the faith. Love you. Donna
Jax!Hey girl! It’s been so good to see you. I know you have it in you to keep fighting! You have so many people behind you and more than u can imagine. Half of them you prolly don’t even know, but every day the thought of you run through our heads only hoping with that little thought it will somehow reach you and help you keep fighting. Stay Strong Jax…. You can do this!WE BELIEVE!
Jacquie, All of us here in New Canaan, are pulling for you each and every day! We know that there are times when you are so very tired of all of this and it doesn’t seem fair.. Jacquie, just one minute at a time, hang in there, stay the course. With determination, you will be stronger than ALL! Love always, Aunt Indie, Uncle Pat, Ryan and Anjalie
My Jacquie… Sweetie, In all the conversations I have with you in my mind, I’m strong and always seem to be able to say the right things. But in reality, things are different. I don’t know what to say or feel or think. A couple of weeks ago you told me we can only affect what is in our control. But sometimes that’s not enough. I want to have an effect on what’s happening to you and feel helpless that I don’t know how. I’ll keep believing and praying and being there for what ever you or any of you need. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon. I love you…Aunt Deee
God how I wish I could send a complete cure your way. I will be among the many that are praying morning, noon and night for your bone marrow to be cancer free. I hope all of you feel the strength that all of us are trying to send your way. Words other than “we all believe” seem small. God Bless. Hugs.
Hi Jacquie, Sharon, Torey and TJ, As so incredibly hard as your moments absolutely have to be….keep taking a breath, and a step, one second and one moment at a time and always hold onto every dream you have. So many things are possible when ones heart and mind believes. I know it does not ease any of the pain or make any of your moments less scary or easier but we are ALL with you, supporting, listening, caring, wishing and believing. I can not even begin to imagine the crazy things you feel, but I know what crazy things I feel about it and I wish you a restful night and a day with some smiles and laughs and renewed energy whenever you need it!! Jacquie from the sounds of things you have so many fun, special, friends…I hope they are able to visit with you and just be with you when you need it. Take care of you all and keep fighting. Love, Sara and family
Hi Jax, how have you been doing!? I have been constantly keeping you in my prayers and I know that they will work! I have so much faith in you that you can achieve this sickness becasue me and so many others know that you can do this! I believe in you!!! You did it once you can do it again! Dont give up!! Keep on fighting and moving foward, look at the positive! Things will get back to normal! LOVE YOU JAX! WE ALL BELIEVE!!!! ~Natalie M.
Jacquie love, There are no words to describe the way my heart pulls for you. Reading the beautiful updates from your family just makes my heart break. You are not supposed to be going through this. THIS SUCKS. It isn’t fair. You don’t deserve it. You are so amazing and have endured so much without ever giving up. Please keep never giving up. We all believe 100% and know that you will beat this. It is a battle – the biggest of your life but it will be worth it. You have a beautiful life ahead of you and boy you will have a story to tell. Keep fighting my love – we are all praying, believing and thinking of you constantly. If you asked any one of us if we could trade places with you just for a day to give you a break we so would. Please hang in there and know how many people love you. Love you lots. Always loving and BELIEVING, <3 Sadie
jacquie, i am holding you all so tightly, with all i have to give…strength, love, faith and belief….stay the course dear girl.we who love you and your mom, dad and tj, are here sending you all our strength to help you fight. open your hearts and minds and let us in…. aunt val
The journey ahead has many obstacles to pass, It doesnt matter if you come in last. But you have to remember; you know its true, Tough times don’t last, BUT tough people do. I love you, Cousin Angela
Hi Jacquie, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Amanda is excited to come visit you, be sure she gives you a hug from me. Linda
hey jax,great seeing you. you looked gorgeous as always! if you ever need a competitive mancala opponent let me know. i’m not trying to brag or anything, but i’m pretty formidable. stand your ground and don’t back down! you’re amazing and we love you. tonight we re-named our cat from “marcus aurelius” to “pork chocolate” or as alicia likes to say “pork choc.” i was thinking today, maybe you should take up chess. i am an uber-nerd, as you might know, and i used to love chess. always think a few moves ahead. that’s all for now.
Jacquie!! I just wanted to let you know that i’m thinking about you every day. i read the updates and i can’t help but be incredibly proud of you and your strength! i know you have it in you to beat this thing and anything that comes at you! I believe! ~giggles
Jacqueline…I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and how excited I am that I am going to see you tomorrow and saturday =) please stay strong<333we all BELIEVE <333you inspire us all to become stronger.Love u,Justine Marie.
Jacquie, Hold tight to your dreams. The mind and heart can have magical strength, always keep believing! We are all with you, behind you and ahead of you, always. Sara
after reading your update today, first.. i got sad. and then.. a song popped into my head now DONT ASK ME WHY. but i went to a catholic school all my life so clearly music class was all church songs. and i just think.. well.. you need to hear this one. (and i shall type it as i would sing it to you. teehee) SMILEEEEE don’t ya know, God loves youuu.. come to think of it.. I LOVE YOU TOO take the time to smile at someone and before you’re throughhh… someone will be smiling back at you!!!! i know. it’s the most horrific song you’ve ever heard.. and you may think.. why would she ever tell me this but i duno jaxx.. when you’re sad, i’m sad!! (and everyone else who religiously reads your updates and loves you to the moon) and i am smiling through my computer at you sooo hopefully you will smile back at me too. (even if it’s fake.. i’ll take it) oh and i told alicia to give you a big air smooch for me when she sees you today which is totally unfair by the way. if you see this, sweet pledge mommy of mine,(which i know you will bc you’re as crazy a guestbook signer as i am), I’M JEALOUS OF YOU!!! oh jacko, missing you every day a little bit more.. especially right now bc my mom and brother are dragging me to “The Harvest Buffet”, a chinese buffet place that i know you’d probably start salivating from the mouth if you went to. hahaa keep strong, S-M-I-L-E, and know that we believe and we love you. and especially me. the little one. <3 Oh and my mom says hi too. teehee.
Dear Jacquie and Sharon, You have every right to feel the way you do. I pray so hard each day for your whole family. Please hang in there. Any day now you will see those counts start to go up. I know it. Don’t give in !!! You have all been so strong for so long! Jacquie you have done a remarkable job! Sharon, there are no words to describe your strength. I know you both can do this. Hold tight to each other and all of us will hold tight to you through our prayers. You have come a long way and you will continue to move forward. You are so close to those counts going up, I know it wont be long. Clapping Praying BELIEVING Missy
Hi my love, I just wanted to stop in and tell you how much I love you. Please never give up or lose faith because when we beat this cancer, we want to beat it smiling and be able to say “I told you so ALL”. I know it is so hard, and you are definitaley entitled to be furstrated, confused, angry, sad etc… but always remember that you have a brigade of people fighting, not for you, but with you. And together, we will come out of this healthier, happier, and all around better people. Please continue to inspire me Ms. Hirsch… even though it’s not that hard for you to do. Love you lots and miss you like crazy. I promise to believe every second. xoxo
Hi Jax: I’m so proud of you. That is a lot of laps to do and you did them! Yea!!! So what “challenges” do those doctor’s have for you next? It won’t matter what it is, you’ll do it faster, better, and in less time then they ask…cuz you are amazing! You are a fighter and the strongest, most determined person I know! I love you soooo much. I miss you a lot and think about you always. Never give up and always keep BELIEVING!!!
Jacquie I will continue to pray for you…you are amazing…you are WALKING around! WALKING! I would be in bed… Again, I wish I had magic words…There are going to be good days and bad days..it’s just that the bad days are sometimes overwhelming…like trying to eat that elephant …but one bite at a time,…one step at a time…baby steps…but they are steps…When I have had bad times in the past (which is nothing compared to what you are going through) I would say over and over and over and OVER again All Things Come Together for Good for Those That Believe in the Lord… Find what works for you..and say it over and over and OVER again… You WILL get better…
Good Morning Hirsch Family, Everyone is believing and praying for all of you every single second of every single day! Please know that there are so many people standing behind you…while we are here to celebrate the good times with you we are all first and foremost here to stand with you during the worst times…give us some of your pain and anger we are all willing to take it on. Thousands of people are with you BELIEVING that Jacquie’s counts are going to go up, BELIEVING that you will all be in your new home together soon, BELIEVING that this horrible ruthless disease will not win. Stay as strong as you possibly can and easier times will soon be around again. I love you all. xoxo Ashley
p.p.s. Jac, if you haven’t already figured it out… every single person that writes on this website (and obviously there are hundreds) are all your biggest fans. so even if you get tired of fighting for yourself, think of your adoring fans out there, who are all behind & beside you every step of the way!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!!I LOVE YOUlove,alicia
no matter how much despair you feel, DON’T EVER FOR ONE SINGLE SECOND DOUBT THAT YOU CAN DO THIS!! You can and WILL beat this!!!!!! This is the toughest mind game/mental challenge that anyone could face… however, you can’t let this beat you. Never give in. we ALL have 100% faith in you. YOU CAN AND WILL AND YOU ARE FIGHTING THIS AND EVENTUALLY BEATING IT!!! Each day that you haven’t given in is a day that you have WON!!! This journey is made up of thousands of tiny battles and each day is a tiny battle that you have won.I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AND BELIEVE IN YOU 100%!!!!!!WE BELIEVE in Jacquie Hirsch, WE BELIEVE IN WONDER WOMAN!!!p.s. Michael, my top picks for your reality show are “As the meatloaf turns” (imagine a meatloaf rotating on a spit in a wood burning stove!) My other favorite is “meatloaf or no meatloaf” you would be Howie Mandell, Jac would be the first contestant, playing for as many meatloafs as her heart desires!!! (Of course, Jacquie, no more contaminated meatloafs, PLEASE). And Sara, you have the right idea about my ideas of interior design… I <3 Michael everywhere!! hahaKeep fighting kid, we know you can do it. Each day (even the bad ones) get you one day closer to you kicking cancer’s b*tt!!!<3 delisha <3
hang in there dear girl, soon you will be home, i just know it….be angry, be frustrated, be sad, be scared, allow yourself those feelings. my dad always told me to say it out loud, maybe that will help you. yell if you need to…i know i will be yelling into the field for you tommorrow, so listen for my yell. you will hear it downtown. it will be ’i believe’!!! with love, aunt val

hey jax,great seeing you. you looked gorgeous as always! if you ever need a competitive mancala opponent let me know. i’m not trying to brag or anything, but i’m pretty formidable. stand your ground and don’t back down! you’re amazing and we love you. tonight we re-named our cat from “marcus aurelius” to “pork chocolate” or as alicia likes to say “pork choc.” i was thinking today, maybe you should take up chess. i am an uber-nerd, as you might know, and i used to love chess. always think a few moves ahead. that’s all for now.

after reading your update today, first.. i got sad. and then.. a song popped into my head now DONT ASK ME WHY. but i went to a catholic school all my life so clearly music class was all church songs. and i just think.. well.. you need to hear this one. (and i shall type it as i would sing it to you. teehee) SMILEEEEE don’t ya know, God loves youuu.. come to think of it.. I LOVE YOU TOO take the time to smile at someone and before you’re throughhh… someone will be smiling back at you!!!! i know. it’s the most horrific song you’ve ever heard.. and you may think.. why would she ever tell me this but i duno jaxx.. when you’re sad, i’m sad!! (and everyone else who religiously reads your updates and loves you to the moon) and i am smiling through my computer at you sooo hopefully you will smile back at me too. (even if it’s fake.. i’ll take it) oh and i told alicia to give you a big air smooch for me when she sees you today which is totally unfair by the way. if you see this, sweet pledge mommy of mine,(which i know you will bc you’re as crazy a guestbook signer as i am), I’M JEALOUS OF YOU!!! oh jacko, missing you every day a little bit more.. especially right now bc my mom and brother are dragging me to “The Harvest Buffet”, a chinese buffet place that i know you’d probably start salivating from the mouth if you went to. hahaa keep strong, S-M-I-L-E, and know that we believe and we love you. and especially me. the little one. <3 Oh and my mom says hi too. teehee.

I know it. Don’t give in !!! You have all been so strong for so long! Jacquie you have done a remarkable job! Sharon, there are no words to describe your strength. I know you both can do this. Hold tight to each other and all of us will hold tight to you through our prayers. You have come a long way and you will continue to move forward. You are so close to those counts going up, I know it wont be long. Clapping Praying BELIEVING Missy

Hi my love, I just wanted to stop in and tell you how much I love you. Please never give up or lose faith because when we beat this cancer, we want to beat it smiling and be able to say “I told you so ALL”. I know it is so hard, and you are definitaley entitled to be furstrated, confused, angry, sad etc… but always remember that you have a brigade of people fighting, not for you, but with you. And together, we will come out of this healthier, happier, and all around better people. Please continue to inspire me Ms. Hirsch… even though it’s not that hard for you to do. Love you lots and miss you like crazy. I promise to believe every second. xoxo

Hi Jax: I’m so proud of you. That is a lot of laps to do and you did them! Yea!!! So what “challenges” do those doctor’s have for you next? It won’t matter what it is, you’ll do it faster, better, and in less time then they ask…cuz you are amazing! You are a fighter and the strongest, most determined person I know! I love you soooo much. I miss you a lot and think about you always. Never give up and always keep BELIEVING!!!

Jacquie I will continue to pray for you…you are amazing…you are WALKING around! WALKING! I would be in bed… Again, I wish I had magic words…There are going to be good days and bad days..it’s just that the bad days are sometimes overwhelming…like trying to eat that elephant …but one bite at a time,…one step at a time…baby steps…but they are steps…When I have had bad times in the past (which is nothing compared to what you are going through) I would say over and over and over and OVER again All Things Come Together for Good for Those That Believe in the Lord… Find what works for you..and say it over and over and OVER again… You WILL get better…

no matter how much despair you feel, DON’T EVER FOR ONE SINGLE SECOND DOUBT THAT YOU CAN DO THIS!! You can and WILL beat this!!!!!! This is the toughest mind game/mental challenge that anyone could face… however, you can’t let this beat you. Never give in. we ALL have 100% faith in you. YOU CAN AND WILL AND YOU ARE FIGHTING THIS AND EVENTUALLY BEATING IT!!! Each day that you haven’t given in is a day that you have WON!!! This journey is made up of thousands of tiny battles and each day is a tiny battle that you have won.I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AND BELIEVE IN YOU 100%!!!!!!WE BELIEVE in Jacquie Hirsch, WE BELIEVE IN WONDER WOMAN!!!p.s. Michael, my top picks for your reality show are “As the meatloaf turns” (imagine a meatloaf rotating on a spit in a wood burning stove!) My other favorite is “meatloaf or no meatloaf” you would be Howie Mandell, Jac would be the first contestant, playing for as many meatloafs as her heart desires!!! (Of course, Jacquie, no more contaminated meatloafs, PLEASE). And Sara, you have the right idea about my ideas of interior design… I <3 Michael everywhere!! hahaKeep fighting kid, we know you can do it. Each day (even the bad ones) get you one day closer to you kicking cancer’s b*tt!!!<3 delisha <3
