Karen,
I Know it as been along time since I have written and yes I still check on the DIPG children everyday. Noah will come home from work and I will be on the computer and his saying is always "Are you checking on your kids again?" Still, every week or if we are lucky it may be every month that more children pass of this tumor. I still can't wrap my head around all of this. I hate that the first step is always radiation and then they use these children as tests with all different kinds of chemo. How unfair! All of the doctors give radiation to by time and I understand that but then they say we will try something else when it grows back. Well if you live in the DIPG world you know then that it is to late... What is the answer?? Nothing seems to work and it is frustruating to all involved. Anyway, enough complaining. Kylie, we miss you. Julianne really wonders how you are doing. I would like to tell you how proud my kids are that they are getting Leah and Kylies swing set. They think they are the king and queen of the universe. We will see you I believe in the first week of June. I am sorry that I will not be able to walk we will be in North Carolina. I will donate for all of the walkers.
Love you all,
Trina

I just signed up for the walk, looking forward to walking for a great cause. Thanks for sharing your story, it is people like you who make the difference in so many lives. Although I did not know Leah, I will proudly walk in her memory. What a beautiful little angel.

Phil and Karen and Kylie-
I will be seeing you in a couple of hours for Nathan and Kady's communion party, and it is one of those days where my heart goes out to you more than usual. I will be caught up in the celebration, but I will have you on my mind and in my heart as well.
Every monumental moment that occurs in their young lives parallels with a pang of despair knowing you cannot share the same events the way we will. It makes me feel sad and angry for you. It makes me feel a lot of things.
I picture Leah in her communion dress. Sometimes I picture her looking down on us, sometimes I see her with a parade of other beautiful girls in white dresses. Leah in white, like and angel.
The purpose of Communion is to be one with God. It is another level of sharing in Christ's love. The only glimmer of hope and redemption is knowing that Leah shares a communion with our Lord every second of every day.
I love you all. God Bless You. Herb

Hello Karen-
I was just getting the PO Box information for our donation and I thought I should write a quick note in the guestbook since it has been a while. I never do get over seeing that first page, and here at 4 am, I am crying as I always do, thinking of Leah, and what a special child she is! I can still hear her talking to "kitty" the day I dropped off papers at your house and wanting to talk on the phone. Such the social gal! Always strong, always laughing, even though she was sick. Her spirit is still strong and alive as ever in the lives of the people she has touched. I am forever blessed for having known her, and in turn, knowing your family. I know we did not meet under the "right" circumstances, but, I am sure that we will be friends for many years to come. You know I am always here for you, and I will try to call you later this week! Give my love to Phil and Kylie!
All my love- Jennifer

Hi Karen and family, I haven't written in a long time but think of you often. It's so odd how time just moves along while you are in your grief forever. I am so sorry that Leah is gone. I hope you are sleeping and living still. It will never be the same I know.
All is ok w/our family and Gram and Gramps are doing fine still amazingly. How is you dad I wonder. I will check in w/you sometime and know we love you. Cousin Pam xxoooooo
