I will always be praying you have some peace. please tell Kylie I miss her, and I hope she is having fun in 5th grade.

     Kylie: I am so sorry about your sister. My oldest sister had cancer as well. I will always be your sister in Christ, and I will always be your friend. If you ever need a summer get-away, the beach is 2 blocks from my house:)(Last year, I had a locker by your classroom last year at NCS, I was the really short one with light brown hair, and freckles)

Hi Karen,

I just wanted you to know that Leah and your entire family was in my thoughts and prayers all day long today.  I thought of Leah's beautiful smile and those bright blue eyes with that twinkle -- first thing when I woke up this morning.  I thought of her while I was cooking my turkey and the kids were watching the parade.  I thought of her when we all sat down at the table...and I said an extra prayer for you -- for peace in your heart and strength to carry on each day, especially the most difficult ones.  Leah was with me all day today, like a little bird sitting on my shoulder.  I prayed she showed her presence to you today too.   Hugs to all of you!!!  Love, Lisa

Your Angel is beautiful.  I know it is a hard day!  May peace find you and your family.  I saw your post on Matthew's guestbook.  It's great the foundation you have set up, I would love to know more what you are doing, you can e-mail me if you want to. Always thinking of our angel babies!

Lisa, mom of Matthew, forever five

Today must be hard. You never leave my thoughts and prayers. Leah was, and will always your beautiful little girl. In Heaven, you can hold her, and hear her little laugh, and get Eskimo kisses forever, all eternity.

Hello Karen,

My family wants to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I understand this must be very tough for you. Leah is constantly in our thoughts as well as your entire family. We hope you keep up your journal since we frequently look for updates. We are so glad you have your approval for your non profit foundation. I know you will do good things with it in honor of Leah.

God Bless,

Brian, Colleen, Kate and Erik Hrischuk

Just a quick msg wishing you a peaceful Thanksgiving day and I hope you are spending the day with a circle of loving friends and family.  Hugs to you and Phil, hugs to Kylie and love love to Leah.

Karen, I hope you will continue to journal. It is such an extraordinary gift from your heart. I have a song in my ipod that is called "Afterglow" by INXS. It is one that I thought you should hear, then when you talked about the songs on your ipod, I knew it. I have it if you want to stop by, you can listen. Bring Kylie. If you have more bracelets to stuff,bring them too. As always I am thinking of and praying for your family. Love, Sherry
