Hello my love – re-reading your family’s posts just gets me madder and madder!! THIS IS NOT FAIR. This sucks and we are angry right along with you. I quoted Cinderella before and oh how I wish your fairy godmother would come bibbity bobbity boo this thing right out of you… but you are your own fairy godmother here and you will get this out of you. CANCER SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! And you will beat it. You are so brave. I’m constantly reminded of it… you are doing everything you have to do to win this battle and oh how you are winning. Everyday that you smile or laugh you are winning. And you know what, the days that you cry and get frustrated you are winning too, because you are you. You are still you and therefore winning. I know you like to win so you keep going and win for good. I don’t even know what I’m saying – I’m rambling because I think that something I might say might be the magic words to make you feel better. I don’t think there are words to truly grasp what I and all of your ’fans’ are feeling… we are just constantly in awe of you and we are mad for you and we are believing with our whole hearts in you and your ability to boot this stupid cancer right out of you. I hope you laugh and smile today and I hope you never stop believing in you, but if you ever doubt, there are thousands of us believing for you and we will pick you up. Love you lots and thinking of you always, <3 Sadie
Hi Torey, Sharon, TJ and Jacquie, My mom just told me about the website today (although I get the updates from Michelle regularly). I promise to pray each day for all of you. I have a note to remind me… it reads “Believe.” May you feel a bit stronger each day and may your body heal! Take care and be well!!!
Sorry to hear about your setback, but I’ve seen you do your laps around those halls after other setbacks, so I know you’ll be out and about in no time! I’ve made it to the shrine twice lately to put your name in and will continue to do so . . . I’ll be in with Mike on 8/4 for tests, so I’ll look for you! I think of you daily and pray for you constantly.
Jax , You keep fighting! We all will keep praying and BELIEVING! I hate that you have to go through all this pain. We all love and miss your bright smile! Patiently waiting for the day that we can give you the biggest hug! You are the strongest person I know. And we are also “Clapping” and “Believing”!!!!!!!!!
Hello my beautiful, brave, and oh so strong friend. I hope I am finding you feeling at least a little better today than in recent days. So today is my Daddy’s birthday… and while I woke up this morning feeling pretty down, wishing I could just lay in bed all day, I looked at my wrist and saw the words “WE BELIEVE” and I obviously thought of you. And when I thought of you I immediately felt stronger, and I felt ready to take on the day. On days like today when I miss him extra bad, I have you to thank for showing me the strength I didn’t know I had. While I still feel deeply saddened, I know I have the strength to keep on trucking ahead. So THANK YOU my dear friend. If my Dad were here, I know he would be SO proud that you are my sister, and he would be so inspired and proud of you! So when you’re feeling down, depressed, angry, frustrated, and helpless… when you feel like all you are doing is fighting this cancer and nothing else… my love, you are doing SO much, you don’t even know! Just by being your brave, and courageous self, just by BELIEVING, you are showing others that they too can continue to fight & conquer whatever personal battle they have in their lives. So while TJ created this amazing website for us to write to you, for us to try and to give you strength through our words, thoughts, and love — it is once again you who is giving US strength. Keep on fighting love, keep on digging down for that strength that you might not know is there… it IS there. YOU CAN DO THIS! WE ALL BELIEVE!NEVER GIVE IN, NEVER GIVE UP!!<3 delisha <3ughhhhhhh why do I always have to write novels?
Jacquie- I am sorry I haven’t written in awhile…but that doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about you tons and tons…. You sweet thing! I wish so much there was something I could say or better yet do that would make this fight easier on you, your parents and your brother…. I can only say that … I think that you can do this!!!! And Hey, August is a neat month…why not get some new bone marrow…. Stay Strong AND I AM PRAYING really really hard for you!! HUGS AND SMILES FROM FAIRPORT Brooks’ mom!
Clap if you believe~ a very popular quote from peter pan (as you know)… Well I’m clapping for you every single day. I’m clapping for your strength, your humor, your smile, your courage, your fight, and everything in between! You are simply amazing! Love you so much Bowers
hi there dear girl, well, so many say it so much better than i… even cinderella says it so well as sadie said. remember also, ’a dream is a wish your heart makes’ and my heart makes that wish with every breath…..and in my dream you are well. my dream will come true, as will the dreams of all who love you and are sending you all their strength to get you through this lousy journey you are taking. today smile, just a little ,thinking of me at camp with lots of young campers from underpriviledged homes. me in a bathing suit, with jiggley arms as elise says and peeling potatoes or whatever task they assign me and jumping in the lake to cool off, with sneakers on so as not to cut my feet on those dang zebra mussels, and coming out with my really attractive hair plastered to my face with ALL my grey roots showing. i will probably scare those children!! stay the course dear girl, we who love you all so much are shoulder to shoulder with you, believing!!! love, aunt val
Hey Jacquie,I just wanted to say that I really hope you are feeling better soon. You and your family will get through this tough time. Keep fighting and I will keep praying. Stay strong and BELIEVE.
You will get through this..one day at a time..one step at a time… Hope you had a better night..think cold thoughts to bring the fever down…and wash the infection out of your body… And who wouldn’t have a headache? I hope that these too are feeling lighter …. My prayers are with you..
Jacquie, Torey, TJ and Sharon, Thinking of you, fighting with you, sending every bit of strength, energy, courgage and rest, your way. I believe in all the inner strength and love that is in your hearts and souls, especially I believe in all that is in you Jacquie- to keep fighting and to get better!!! ALways with you, even from way out here in NM! Love, Sara and family
We have been thinking about you so much lately. We were away for a couple of weeks and when we returned the first thing we did was read your updates. We are sad to learn that you are not feeling too well right now, but we know how strong you are and what a great fighter you are so we know you will defenitely get passed these infections. As always you are in our thoughts and prayers and we are hopeful that your transplant will take place as scheduled so you can start feeling better! Our love and support are totaly with you. Keep thinking positive thoughts and remember how much your family and friends all love you. You are truly a wonderful girl and we can’t wait until we hear you are headed home where you belong!

No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep believing, the dream that you wish will come true…Cinderella knows her stuff. You keep believing my love – your dreams are going to come true. Things are very sucky right now and it’s hard to see beyond that but keep believing in yourself and your future because it will be beautiful. I love you and am thinking of you constantly. Keep going and never give up. This is a fight worth fighting that you are going to win. Always Loving and Believing, <3 Sadie
Dear Jacquie, TJ, Sharon and Torey, We are with you all the way. This fight isn’t fair, isn’t right, isn’t easy, and really sucks, but we must continue to fight every day, to overcome. Stay the course! There is a donor, so let’s get to that day to use it. One hour, day at a time. With all our love, fight, prayers and energy, Indie, Pat, Anjalie and Ryan
This cancer has nothing on you Jacquie. You will be the winner of this fight. And when that day comes, we can all celebrate you, as we do everyday. There don’t seem to be words to describe how incredible you are. The words aren’t strong enough. My heart is with you! I BELIEVEPauline
Life partner,I know there are no words to make this thing go away and it makes me feel helpless. But I know you are strong and will beat it. I was reading a speech online given by Jimmy Valvano, the NC State coach who delivered a really amazing speech at the ESPY awards. You should read it sometime. A part that stuck out was… “Cancer can take away all my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever.” This battle is the toughest one you may ever face, but you are still Jacquie Hirsch, Life Partner Extraordinare and we all BELIEVE you will beat this. I love you and am thinking about you constantly. Stay strong,MA
Aquel que hoy se cae, se levantar maana. He who falls today may rise tomorrowAnd what a rise it will be!I believe in you with every ounce of my being… from my toes, from my core, with every single bit of me, I BELIEVE!!!! NEVER STOP BELIEVING! NEVER GIVE UP!!!! WE ARE ALL HERE WITH YOU!!! ILOVEYOU<3 delisha <3 In my heart and on my mind, ALLways!!!
Oh Jax…. I agree with Alicia! I hate this cancer too!!!! I get so mad every time I read about the struggles you have to go through everyday. This is so not fair, and nobody should ever have to go through something like this. You are doing an incredible job, and I know some day you will be able to share your struggles with people who are going through what you are, and be one of those amazing people your Mom talks about when she writes about Roswell. You are such an inspiration right now, that your future holds no limits. I’m thinking of you always… I BELIEVE you will beat this!!!!
dear beautiful girl, so many say it so well and alicia’s last note just brings it home for me….we who are angry, we of faith, we who believe you will win this fight: we all love you and send you every ounce of love and strength possible… we beleive. aunt val
The first thing I do when I wake up each and every day is pray for you. And the last thing I do before I go to sleep is pray for you and also countless times inbetween. With all the prayers of the hundreds of people that love you and your strength and determination, you will NOT lose this fight. I Believe. Love, Carol
Hi Jacquie, I AM PRAYING AND BELIEVING Your transplant on Aug.6thor 7th will take place as planned! I know you can do this!!! I believe, believe, BELIEVE!!!! Sending so much strength to you through prayer everyday. Keep strong Jacquie, We believe in you so, so much! There is nothing you cant do! NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!!!!You demonstrate that to the world every day! You are moving forward everyday, closer to being done with this for good! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH! EVERY BODY!!!!!!!! WE BELIEVE IN JACQUIE HIRSCH!!!!!! Clapping Praying BELIEVING Missy
Jacquie: Life isn’t always easy, it’s not always fair either. Sometimes we get our hopes up, only to be let down. And sometimes life seems to be testing our patience and our faith-all at the same time. We just need you to stay focused…it’s the end result that counts! I know that things seem to be one big struggle after another right now-but thereare wonderful things waiting for you down the road. Just keep moving forward and these wonderful things will start coming to you. You, more than anyone else, deserve it. I, also, want you to know that I believe in you more than I will ever, or have ever, believed in anyone else. I have a good feeling about your future…. This fight of yours has taught me that great things come to people, like you, who have the courage and strength toNEVER, give up, or give in to this awful disease. You are such a precious Child of God, and I couldn’t love you more if you were my own daughter! Fight on my little soldier because….. I will always be believing in you! With All My Love, Aunt Sheryl
my beautiful big, i havent really been able to write anything to the updates because i just don’t have any words to say. out of everyone in this whole world, it should not be YOU that is stuck in this situation. as do so many people, i think about you all the time and just the other day, a new friend of mine asked me why i was wearing that bracelet? and with such positivity, i told him that yes, my best friend has leukemia, but no no!! take that sad face off!! it’s gonna be ok.. she’s going to break through and beat it, and be more healthy than she ever was before. There is this silly self-help book (that happened to be a best seller) called The Secret and of course i read it bc i’m a nerd but anyway.. in this books it says that YOU, alone, decide your fortune. if you are sending negative thoughts out into the universe.. well then negative things will happen. So i hope you are staying positive, jac. I never really pay attention to those kinds of books, but i just feel that it’s so true. Please.. stay positive. Please.. remember that you are loved. Please.. remember that you are NOT alone and even people all the way across the country are thinking of you every minute of every day. i NEED you to get better soon!!! i NEED you to have one last and final senior year with me! (lol!) Just don’t ever put your head down, don’t ever give up this fight, don’t ever feel that things have been a waste of time during this process because everything.. even the steps back.. are for a reason and will bring you to the end of this never-ending journey. i love you so much, and this post may have even rivaled one of alicia or sadie’s. =) keep doing it jac, we’re all behind you. you truly are the world’s greatest<3 -SAMM "everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright, BE STRONG, BELIEVE."
Everyday I think of you all & everyday I Believe & Pray for Jacquie and all of you. I love all of you so very much! It’s been years since I spent many of my days and nights at Roswell. I do understand how difficult it is for all of you especially Jacquie. Please know that I am here for anything, anytime, day or night. Stay Strong… Keep Fighting & Keep Believing! I Do Believe Tink!!!!!!Love Always,Jill
Hey Jacquie, Sorry I haven’t written in awhile but I wanted to let you know training and fundraising is going well for the Team In Training Triathlon. I did my first triathlon a week ago as a practice event for the TNT one in September. It was a sprint triathlon (600 meter swim, 16 mile bike, 4 mile run) I did pretty well, but know I can do better, my swimming needs work (maybe you should coach me!!). I thought of you the whole way, as I think of you as I am training. You are my inspiration to keep going, never give up, keep getting stronger, and BELIEVE!!!!! Fundraising is going very well too, I am almost at my goal of $4000, should be there by July 31st. I was sorry to read in the most recent updates that in addition to everything else now you may have pnemonia, how much more are you suppose to have to endure!! This is simply not fair and I wish there was something I could do to take your pain away. I cannot imagine how difficult this is on you and your family. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers every single day!!!! I have another appointment to give platlets on Thursday, I hope they help you regain your strength to get you ready for your transplant, this one is going to do the trick, I can feel it, and I BELIEVE!!!! Renee Bowers
fight on jacquie…fight some more…rest…and fight on… we are all here for you and family so know that, and use it to give you strength… fight on kid… ps…the sun is still rising everyday out here, so i know that you are rising each day too…long distance stoughton love to all of you…
Oh Jax, this just sucks so much. My heart just aches for you and your family – no one should have to go through this, least of all you guys. But like Alicia said you are stronger than you know and this stupid effing cancer cannot take that away. You will beat this. YOU WILL BEAT THIS. I believe and we all believe. I believe in you, I believe in your family, I believe in your doctors, I believe in faith and prayer and I will keep praying for you every single day. You are going through hell right now… but keep going. The only way to the other side is to keep going. Keep fighting and keep amazing us all everyday with your determination and courage. I love you and am thinking of you every second!! Always BELIEVING, <3 Sadie
GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!! What a crappy past few days you’ve had…I wish I had some really great/profound thing to write that would magically take all your pain away and make you feel 120% better…but let’s face it I’m not that word savy!!! I am praying for you hard each and every day…I believe in you and your determination to beat this horrible disease. I love you so much you are amazing you are my inspiration you are a hero to everyone. Keep believing in yourself!! xoxoxoxo Ashley.
Jax ~ You have to be the STRONGEST person I know in the world. You have endured more pain in the past two days than I have in my entire life and for that I envy your strength and think the world of you. We all keep believing because we know the person this cancer is dealing with, and she is not one to let ANYONE or ANYTHING get the better of her!!!! Keep on fighting and holding your head high. You are my (AMERICAN) IDOL!… Actually, the WORLD IDOL! We all love you & never stop believing. So much love ~ lagree
you are stronger than you knowYOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOWYOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOWi hate this f cancer… i really fre*ken do! i’m sorry for those words, i just dont know how else to express this. this is NOT fair. jacquie, you do not deserve this! if i could take this pain away from you, i would in a second. i know if all of us out there could take your pain & divide it between all of us, we would. unfortunately thats not possible. so i do hope that at times we can help alleviate it a bit with our words of love, and our many thoughts and prayers. keep hanging in there. you are such a trooper. nothing can stop you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE BELIEVE ALLWAYS<3 delisha <3
Tonight I read your updates for the 1st time in a while. As I read I looked down at the braclet I recieved at your benefit many months ago. Although I do not read the guestbook daily you are always in my families prayers and the “We Believe” on the braclet reminds me of your fight that you will win!!!

Oh Jax…. I agree with Alicia! I hate this cancer too!!!! I get so mad every time I read about the struggles you have to go through everyday. This is so not fair, and nobody should ever have to go through something like this. You are doing an incredible job, and I know some day you will be able to share your struggles with people who are going through what you are, and be one of those amazing people your Mom talks about when she writes about Roswell. You are such an inspiration right now, that your future holds no limits. I’m thinking of you always… I BELIEVE you will beat this!!!!

The first thing I do when I wake up each and every day is pray for you. And the last thing I do before I go to sleep is pray for you and also countless times inbetween. With all the prayers of the hundreds of people that love you and your strength and determination, you will NOT lose this fight. I Believe. Love, Carol

Jacquie: Life isn’t always easy, it’s not always fair either. Sometimes we get our hopes up, only to be let down. And sometimes life seems to be testing our patience and our faith-all at the same time. We just need you to stay focused…it’s the end result that counts! I know that things seem to be one big struggle after another right now-but thereare wonderful things waiting for you down the road. Just keep moving forward and these wonderful things will start coming to you. You, more than anyone else, deserve it. I, also, want you to know that I believe in you more than I will ever, or have ever, believed in anyone else. I have a good feeling about your future…. This fight of yours has taught me that great things come to people, like you, who have the courage and strength toNEVER, give up, or give in to this awful disease. You are such a precious Child of God, and I couldn’t love you more if you were my own daughter! Fight on my little soldier because….. I will always be believing in you! With All My Love, Aunt Sheryl

my beautiful big, i havent really been able to write anything to the updates because i just don’t have any words to say. out of everyone in this whole world, it should not be YOU that is stuck in this situation. as do so many people, i think about you all the time and just the other day, a new friend of mine asked me why i was wearing that bracelet? and with such positivity, i told him that yes, my best friend has leukemia, but no no!! take that sad face off!! it’s gonna be ok.. she’s going to break through and beat it, and be more healthy than she ever was before. There is this silly self-help book (that happened to be a best seller) called The Secret and of course i read it bc i’m a nerd but anyway.. in this books it says that YOU, alone, decide your fortune. if you are sending negative thoughts out into the universe.. well then negative things will happen. So i hope you are staying positive, jac. I never really pay attention to those kinds of books, but i just feel that it’s so true. Please.. stay positive. Please.. remember that you are loved. Please.. remember that you are NOT alone and even people all the way across the country are thinking of you every minute of every day. i NEED you to get better soon!!! i NEED you to have one last and final senior year with me! (lol!) Just don’t ever put your head down, don’t ever give up this fight, don’t ever feel that things have been a waste of time during this process because everything.. even the steps back.. are for a reason and will bring you to the end of this never-ending journey. i love you so much, and this post may have even rivaled one of alicia or sadie’s. =) keep doing it jac, we’re all behind you. you truly are the world’s greatest<3 -SAMM "everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright, everything is gonna be alright, BE STRONG, BELIEVE."

Hey Jacquie, Sorry I haven’t written in awhile but I wanted to let you know training and fundraising is going well for the Team In Training Triathlon. I did my first triathlon a week ago as a practice event for the TNT one in September. It was a sprint triathlon (600 meter swim, 16 mile bike, 4 mile run) I did pretty well, but know I can do better, my swimming needs work (maybe you should coach me!!). I thought of you the whole way, as I think of you as I am training. You are my inspiration to keep going, never give up, keep getting stronger, and BELIEVE!!!!! Fundraising is going very well too, I am almost at my goal of $4000, should be there by July 31st. I was sorry to read in the most recent updates that in addition to everything else now you may have pnemonia, how much more are you suppose to have to endure!! This is simply not fair and I wish there was something I could do to take your pain away. I cannot imagine how difficult this is on you and your family. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers every single day!!!! I have another appointment to give platlets on Thursday, I hope they help you regain your strength to get you ready for your transplant, this one is going to do the trick, I can feel it, and I BELIEVE!!!!

Oh Jax, this just sucks so much. My heart just aches for you and your family – no one should have to go through this, least of all you guys. But like Alicia said you are stronger than you know and this stupid effing cancer cannot take that away. You will beat this. YOU WILL BEAT THIS. I believe and we all believe. I believe in you, I believe in your family, I believe in your doctors, I believe in faith and prayer and I will keep praying for you every single day. You are going through hell right now… but keep going. The only way to the other side is to keep going. Keep fighting and keep amazing us all everyday with your determination and courage. I love you and am thinking of you every second!! Always BELIEVING, <3 Sadie

Jax ~ You have to be the STRONGEST person I know in the world. You have endured more pain in the past two days than I have in my entire life and for that I envy your strength and think the world of you. We all keep believing because we know the person this cancer is dealing with, and she is not one to let ANYONE or ANYTHING get the better of her!!!! Keep on fighting and holding your head high. You are my (AMERICAN) IDOL!… Actually, the WORLD IDOL! We all love you & never stop believing. So much love ~ lagree

you are stronger than you knowYOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOWYOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU KNOWi hate this f cancer… i really fre*ken do! i’m sorry for those words, i just dont know how else to express this. this is NOT fair. jacquie, you do not deserve this! if i could take this pain away from you, i would in a second. i know if all of us out there could take your pain & divide it between all of us, we would. unfortunately thats not possible. so i do hope that at times we can help alleviate it a bit with our words of love, and our many thoughts and prayers. keep hanging in there. you are such a trooper. nothing can stop you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!WE BELIEVE ALLWAYS<3 delisha <3

Tonight I read your updates for the 1st time in a while. As I read I looked down at the braclet I recieved at your benefit many months ago. Although I do not read the guestbook daily you are always in my families prayers and the “We Believe” on the braclet reminds me of your fight that you will win!!!
