GOOD MORNING MY LOVE!! Big day today…as you get ready for the even Bigger day tomorrow!!! I am praying for you really hard and I BELIEVE 2nd is the best and this one will be it!!! The next few weeks may be difficult but don’t forget how far you have come and all the strength and courage you have shown!! You are a hero and inspiration to everyone!! Jacquie Hirsch is the #1 Cancer fighter in the world…I think you should be wearing a big gaudy gold belt (Ill see if I can find one)… Stay Strong!! I LOVE YOU! XOXO Ashley!
Dearest Jacquie — We continue to pray for you every single day and, of course, we’re adding in extra prayers this week! We just know you’ll do amazing! Hope this little story puts a smile on your face… Fiona (my 17 mo. old) and I went shopping last night and I bought her a new pair of Crocs, and as I was looking around at the “gibbitz” (little decorations you stick in the holes of Crocs… for those of you that don’t have young children…) I noticed they had a little Tinkerbell — which I immediately put right on her new shoe (after I paid for it, of course…) Fiona proudly wears her Tink in honor of you Jacquie! So, please don’t ever forget that you have fans big and small thinking, praying and honoring you every moment of every day! All our love and wishes are with you — especially this week! Love — Elise, Marty, Quintin, Aidan, Gabriel & Fiona
Hey Jaxy, Just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking about you more than ever on Thursday..I’ll be sending every positive thought, piece of strength and energy, and prayer I have to you. This is the fresh start everyone has be wishing for you..so stay strong and believe!!! Love you, Amanda
Jax, Thursday is coming really fast, and it is scary for me to think about, so I cannot imagine what thoughts are going through your mind. However, one thing I know for sure, is that you can do this. If anyone has the strength, it is you. I was blessed this past weekend to get my grandfathers Bible, and one of the last verses that he read was from II Corinthians 12:9-10: “And He hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” You are strong Jax, you are as strong as every one of us who loves you and is pulling for you combined, in fact, you are even stronger. You have the Lord on your side, and with faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. Keep that faith Jax, never let it go. Good luck on Thursday, and keep the positive in sight, even when it seems impossible. I believe that that passage was the last one that my grandpa read, so that when I opened his Bible, I would have something to encourage you when the right words seem so lost on me. Faith the size of a mustard seed Jax…you’ve got it. God bless you, and always, always, Believe. Casey
Thursday is your day. I just know it is. It is going to work. Thursday is the beginning of the end for this cancer. It is SO over. You got this girl. I know it. By the way my boss who wrote you (Mark C.) still calls the IB the “Inn Between”. It makes me laugh. 🙂 Thinking of you every second. I literally don’t ever stop. I love you lots and I know that this transplant is going to work for you. Keep Believing, because I do 100%. <3 Sadie
Jacquie, as You approach Thurs., a new beginning awaits You! You’re positively a pixie! Continue forward with Your courageous battle! You inspire all! Love, Betsy
Jacquie, you don’t know me but I have the pleasure of working with Sadie so I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m also a Geneseo grad, but as Sadie points out, from many many years ago. It’s amazing to look at your web site and see how much love and support you have. Hearing about you and reading all the wonderful messages from your friends inspires me to keep working hard every day to fight cancer. You’re an inspiration to me and to many people. I can’t wait to hear the good news that everything has gone great on Thursday. Many people will be thinking of you. May God watch over you on your path to recovery.
hey there jacko. just two dayss away… again i havent been writing too much because there are not enough words, or a way to express how i’m feeling for you through my words. i believe in you so fiercely and i am so proud of you for enduring, every day, whatever is thrown at you. i’m getting ready to start preparing myself for student teaching, living in that old bedroom of yours and every day i think about you and how you give so many people around you strength and i am hoping to take a little bit of your strength with me in this new, exciting, and SUPER scary semester ahead!! i love and miss you so muchh and you need to “be strong, believe” that everything will work out.. becuase it will! i asked Daniel, and he is willing to share his birthday with you JUST THIS ONCE, for the transplant so thank goodness it’s gonna be the last =) keep on keepin on, biggles. <3 your littleee one.
Jacquie, These next few days will be hard, but know we’re all thinking of you. Just wanted to send my love to you and want you to know I admire your courage and persistence with this!Love, MO
Hey girl, I wanted to send along my thoughts, prayers, and hopes for your transplant Thursday. You will definately be on my mind (as well as many others). When this is all over and you have finally beaten this, we will celebrate like never before. Keep believing Jax and know that many, many others are believing with you too. Love you…
Jacquie, Just think after Thrusady you will be itching your head alot with all that new hair starting to grow. I will be itching with you! Love, Uncle Mark
Jacquie!! Just know that we are thinking about you and your family… You are a very special young lady…You have such a following….you know sorta like a cult… the jacquie cult…. I am happy to belong!! Hope today is not to bad… HUGS AND SMILES!!! Lynn :))
Jax!!! My love good morning!! Just wondering if you know that you are famous! Obama signed your guestbook!! lol!! Last night as I was asking God to cut you some slack and give you strength I started thinking about some of the great times we’ve had together and one in particular poped into my head…we were at the Erie County Fair and had just eaten everything in sight (and I mean everything…) and then thought it would be a good idea to go on the fastest spinning ride there…and then I got really really sick on the ride…and everyone in your family ran screaming (I can still hear TJ saying “Jax it’s your friend go help her” thanks tj.)…thank goodness your Mom and Dad were there or else I would have been in trouble 😉 Thought that would make you smile a bit today!! xoxoxo Ashley stay strong…always believe!
Hello beautiful, I just got back from ACS’s Golf Tournament. There was a Sabres player there – Nate Paetch, or Paetsh? Well something like that – I’m a football girl, not so much with the hockey. Anyways I chatted with him and told him all about you and how awesome you are and he wrote a little note for you that I’ll send in your next card 🙂 Everyone is just in awe of you including me. Thursday is an exciting day. It’s scary I know but oh how it’s exciting. It’s the first day of the rest of your life. I always kind of laughed at that saying but in this case it’s actually kind of perfect. You have been fighting this now for 10 months. It’s so ridiculously stupid and unfair and it makes me so angry – it makes all of us so angry. Yet you are winning. You still laugh, you still cry, you are still you and you are winning. Thursday will begin the chapter where you will have won. You can do this. I know that you can and I know you know it too. Your family is so right when they say that the emotional ’complications’ are often more difficult than the physical (which is saying a lot considering all of the physical complications) but you have just been amazing. The strength and courage that you have… I can’t even find words to say how amazing you are. You keep going – you are so close… you are about to beat this once and for all. YOU CAN DO THIS. Alicia is SO right this effing cancer better watch out!!! You’re about to kick its a**. I love you and am thinking of you and your family constantly. We all BELIEVE in you 100% and cannot wait until we get to celebrate your victory with you. Always loving and believing, <3 Sadie(wow this is a long post)
Hi Jax! You are so strong and amazing. Keep your head up and continue to beat that cancer! You are in my thoughts all the time and we pray for you at night. Sharon, I love you so and cannot fathom your pain nor fears. You find the strength and courage everyday to be a tower to her. You also are amazing. I pray to the Lord for stamina, endurance and peace as you go forward this week. Love you
Dear Jacquie: I know we keep saying the same words over and over but, now more than ever, you are constantly on our minds and in our hearts. We are praying very hard for you this week and we believe that the second transplant will be the one to cure you completely. We are so sorry for everything you and your family have been going through these past 10 months. It really isn’t fair. You shouldn’t have to spend these precious months fighting so hard. You should be out having a good time. Our hearts break everytime we read your mom’s messages. She is a strong and courageous lady. Please give her a hug for us. We now know that your mom passed her strength and determination on to you. Keep on fighting and believing in a total and complete cure. That is what we are doing. We can’t wait to hear that you are starting to feel better. Just take one day at a time and remember all who love and care about you. We will be saying extra prayers for you all week and especially on Thursday! You just wait, you will be stronger than ever and when you walk out of that hospital just think how proud you will be that you beat this nasty disease!! Keep strong and Keep believing! Love, Athena, Alan, Adriana and Stephanie
Just returned from the shrine to have another candle lit for our kids . . . I’ll be thinking of and praying for your entire family on Thursday. It’s great to hear that Jacquie is doing her laps, stay strong and look forward to Friday! My prayers are always with you.
Dear Jaquie,You are always in my thoughts. Be strong and keep a positive outlook. I only wish you good things to come. I am looking forward to hearing good news this Thursday. I really believe that Thursday will mark the beginning of a new life for you. I wish you nothing but the very best.
Jacquie and Sharon, We are thinking of you everyday. Checking the website and keeping up with your progress. You are in out thoughts so very often. Your strength and courage are a part of our daily conversations. We are praying for you and will say an extra prayer Thursday. Trish, Judd, Madison, Jacob and Savannah
Hello my beautiful friend, as much as I love you, this message is not for you… this message is for your cancer!!!!Cancer/Leukemia, (I am leaving out the “dear” because there is nothing polite about this message, and you are not deserving of a polite salutation). You have been messing with/ making my beautiful friend and her beautiful family’s lives terrible for 10 months now. 10 months is 10 months too long. Everyone has tolerated you for long enough. Come July 31st, Jacquie is going to take her FINAL stand against you… and I say this is her FINAL stand, because she WILL BE VICTORIOUS! Cancer, get ready to fold. Get ready to cry. Get ready to scream uncle. Get ready to LEAVE JACQUIE AND HER FAMILY ALONE FOR FOREVER!!! Get ready to get your A** WHOOPED by the strongest bravest girl that any of us know. Cancer, your days are numbered, and you do not stand a chance against this strong woman, her loving family, and all of us who BELIEVE in Jacquie’s strength & ability to fight & WIN!!! See ya wouldn’t want to be ya!-Alicia Rennie

One hopefully that you don’t already have! Love, Sharon

hi there dear ones, well, i am back from camp and i did survive. actually, it was wonderful and i made a lot of friends..mostly sheriffs, as i wanted to cover my bases when i am stopped for speeding. alas, erie county sheriffs are this coming week, so, it was a no go in the swooze the sheriffs for favors department. i did jump in the lake at 6:45 am and my hair was plastered to my head-lovely. then off to the kitchen to get breakfast for those 135 little campers and counselors!! also, made 135 breakfast sandwiches [bisquit-bacon-egg and cheese] we had an assembly line. wrapped em and made ready for yet another task. we [4 of us] went for 2 days and nights, next year we go for 5days, that’s our goal….. i fished, threaded worms…i can see your mom shudder!!! i did archery: 9 out of 9 into the target and 2 bullseyes! i located a dacshund rescue shelter for a dog that wandered into camp… our cabin was toilet papered by the sheriffs or should i say 1 sheriff who i will get revenge on next year!!! when you are feeling stronger i will bring the pictures….they are fun> i thought of you all the while i was away=knowing that this time next year you will be well and enjoying a wonderful summer. believing as always. aunt val
Hello lovely, So yesterday I saw a woman with the absolute worst cankles I’ve ever seen in my life. Obviously I thought of you and wish I could have sent you a picture for a good laugh. I mean we’re all feeling so bad about what you’re going through but really let’s gain some perspective here, I mean what you’re going through is temporary – this poor woman has to live with those awful cankles for the rest of her life!!!! There should really be a website in support of her. 🙂 I’m kidding of course – I mean not about the horrible cankles part she did indeed have those but about the website part. Annnnyways this is going to be a big week for you. You’re about to experience something tough. It will be hard but we all know that you can do it. You have already proven that you can do anything and this will be no exception. And it will be SO worth it. You get to start getting this stupid effing cancer out of you once and for all. You can and you will do this. Always keep believing that like we all do. You are on my mind constantly and this week especially I’m going to send you love and prayers and strength. You’ve got this thing in the bag – keep going and keep believing!!Love you lots!!!<3 Sadie
Jax, you are absolutely AMAZING!!! You are such an inspiration for all of us who BELIEVE in you!! Your courage and strength are truly admirable. Give them “what for” on Thursday!!!!!
Hi Jacquie! GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!! The 31 it is!!! SENDING LOTS of STRENGTH and LOVE through prayers!!!! You are doing it!!!!! ALWAYS clapping ,Praying BELIVEING!!!! Missy
Jacuqie!!! I am so excited for you….even more so since I know that the 31st IS A WONDERFUL DAY….I happen to know a specialangel that was born that day.(and I haven’t willing given her to anyone before…but the dates make you the right choice!!)….so, I will ask her to watch over you….and she was so strong herself that I am certain that she will be up to the task of keeping a watchful eye on you!!! Know that you (and your wonderful family!!) are in our hearts and prayers… Keep up the good work!! SMILE TODAY LIKE I HAVE SEEN IN SO MANY OF YOUR PICTURES!!! I hope that smile is for no reason at all!!!! Hugs and smiles brave girl!!! Brooks’ mom (Lynn)
Jacquie you are the strongest person I ever met. You are such an inspiration to me. I make sure to tell your story to everyone and give out your website. So many people are supporting you. Congrats On Breaking the Record at Roswell for the most Blood Donations to one person! I’m glad to be apart of that. Stay Strong and Let’s BEAT THIS RETARDED CANCER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jax, TJ, Torey and Sharon,My day begins and ends with special prayers for all of you but especially Jacquie. I keep you close in thought and prayers throughout my day. You are kind to keep the updates going for the rest of us b/c I know it is not easy. I was honestly not surprised to hear that Jax has broken the record for donations at the Blood Center! I pray the Lord sends extra strength your way everyday! I send you all Hugs. Love, Pam
p.s. I forgot this in my last post. Anyway, once again Jac, in your situation, when you could ball up in a corner & say poor me, f the world for letting this happen to me… you once again have risen ABOVE this horrible disease.More donations than anyone else in 12 years? I TOLD YOU YOU WERE A CELEBRITY DOWN IN THE DONOR CENTER!!! Jac, I know you & your family must wonder everyday why you, why this had to happen… and although no one knows why… we ALL know that some good has come of it! Because of you being so amazing, you have touched the lives of thousands out there… and because SO MANY OF US love you so much, we have come in droves to the donor center to donate blood or platelets. Just think about how many people’s lives have been bettered and have been SAVED because of the extra platelets & blood that is now at the donor center because of you!!! YOU ARE HELPING TO SAVE AND EASE OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES! I feel so lucky every time I get to go & donate platelets to you… but I know, that because of the awareness you & your amazing family have raised… long after you are CURED and have KICKED CANCER’S B*TT I will be returning to the donor center to do what little I can to help others when they need it. You are simply amazing. Please never let a second go by without realizing what a blessing and gift it is to have you in my life, I KNOW everyone that reads this website feels the same way.Keep staying strong.WE BELIEVE<3 delisha <3

Dear Jacquie: I know we keep saying the same words over and over but, now more than ever, you are constantly on our minds and in our hearts. We are praying very hard for you this week and we believe that the second transplant will be the one to cure you completely. We are so sorry for everything you and your family have been going through these past 10 months. It really isn’t fair. You shouldn’t have to spend these precious months fighting so hard. You should be out having a good time. Our hearts break everytime we read your mom’s messages. She is a strong and courageous lady. Please give her a hug for us. We now know that your mom passed her strength and determination on to you. Keep on fighting and believing in a total and complete cure. That is what we are doing. We can’t wait to hear that you are starting to feel better. Just take one day at a time and remember all who love and care about you. We will be saying extra prayers for you all week and especially on Thursday! You just wait, you will be stronger than ever and when you walk out of that hospital just think how proud you will be that you beat this nasty disease!! Keep strong and Keep believing! Love, Athena, Alan, Adriana and Stephanie

Hello my beautiful friend, as much as I love you, this message is not for you… this message is for your cancer!!!!Cancer/Leukemia, (I am leaving out the “dear” because there is nothing polite about this message, and you are not deserving of a polite salutation). You have been messing with/ making my beautiful friend and her beautiful family’s lives terrible for 10 months now. 10 months is 10 months too long. Everyone has tolerated you for long enough. Come July 31st, Jacquie is going to take her FINAL stand against you… and I say this is her FINAL stand, because she WILL BE VICTORIOUS! Cancer, get ready to fold. Get ready to cry. Get ready to scream uncle. Get ready to LEAVE JACQUIE AND HER FAMILY ALONE FOR FOREVER!!! Get ready to get your A** WHOOPED by the strongest bravest girl that any of us know. Cancer, your days are numbered, and you do not stand a chance against this strong woman, her loving family, and all of us who BELIEVE in Jacquie’s strength & ability to fight & WIN!!! See ya wouldn’t want to be ya!-Alicia Rennie

Hello lovely, So yesterday I saw a woman with the absolute worst cankles I’ve ever seen in my life. Obviously I thought of you and wish I could have sent you a picture for a good laugh. I mean we’re all feeling so bad about what you’re going through but really let’s gain some perspective here, I mean what you’re going through is temporary – this poor woman has to live with those awful cankles for the rest of her life!!!! There should really be a website in support of her. 🙂 I’m kidding of course – I mean not about the horrible cankles part she did indeed have those but about the website part. Annnnyways this is going to be a big week for you. You’re about to experience something tough. It will be hard but we all know that you can do it. You have already proven that you can do anything and this will be no exception. And it will be SO worth it. You get to start getting this stupid effing cancer out of you once and for all. You can and you will do this. Always keep believing that like we all do. You are on my mind constantly and this week especially I’m going to send you love and prayers and strength. You’ve got this thing in the bag – keep going and keep believing!!Love you lots!!!<3 Sadie

p.s. I forgot this in my last post. Anyway, once again Jac, in your situation, when you could ball up in a corner & say poor me, f the world for letting this happen to me… you once again have risen ABOVE this horrible disease.More donations than anyone else in 12 years? I TOLD YOU YOU WERE A CELEBRITY DOWN IN THE DONOR CENTER!!! Jac, I know you & your family must wonder everyday why you, why this had to happen… and although no one knows why… we ALL know that some good has come of it! Because of you being so amazing, you have touched the lives of thousands out there… and because SO MANY OF US love you so much, we have come in droves to the donor center to donate blood or platelets. Just think about how many people’s lives have been bettered and have been SAVED because of the extra platelets & blood that is now at the donor center because of you!!! YOU ARE HELPING TO SAVE AND EASE OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES! I feel so lucky every time I get to go & donate platelets to you… but I know, that because of the awareness you & your amazing family have raised… long after you are CURED and have KICKED CANCER’S B*TT I will be returning to the donor center to do what little I can to help others when they need it. You are simply amazing. Please never let a second go by without realizing what a blessing and gift it is to have you in my life, I KNOW everyone that reads this website feels the same way.Keep staying strong.WE BELIEVE<3 delisha <3
