You looked like you were having a great time. I saw Elena waving at everyone, (your Grammie told me that was her favorite thing to do!!hehe!). Andres and Alejandra looked like they were enjoying the festivities also. What a wonderful day to celebrate with family and friends. I was with you in thought. Enjoy all the special times this summer. Every day is a gift from GOD. Our family enjoyed watching the movie "Facing the Giants" last night. Thank you for telling us about the movie. I so enjoyed the religious aspect. It really made me think about how we live our lives, and how people should live their lives. GOD should be included in everything we do. GOD loves you and is shining down on you with HIS peace.

You are a very special girl! It is awesome to see how you and your family stay so close to the Lord, even in trying times, and to see how He supports your family in the way that He does.

Sherri Duarte Sherri Duarte <msduarte@charter.net> Morgan Hill, CA USA - Friday, July 4, 2008 1:28 AM CDT My Dearest Fernanda, This day brings me back to four years ago when I got the phone call from Auntie Maria about your trauma... It has been a long hard road for you my sweet and lovely granddaughter - too hard for me to fully comprehend. Our Lord has been with us at every momement of the day - even when we did not see Him working in your life or think He was with us - He was there and will continue to be there!! He loves you even more than I do (that is hard for me to believe because I love you so much) but I know His love is the most powerful love there is! I enjoy our outings - most recently when we all went to Red Robin for there opening day - that was such fun - especially eating the mud pie!! I love you so much Fernanda and look forward to sharing life together.

Fernanda is on our minds and on our hearts. --We pray Fernanda's pain is minimal and manageable. She has suffered enough. Please God take some of the burden of pain from Fernanda during recovery. --We pray the surgery is successful and meets the objective of allowing Fernanda to enjoy her family from a chair rather than prone in a bed -- So important to feeling part of the activities in the room! --We pray that Debbie and Jacob and Alejandra can feel at peace with the decision and their worrying is kept to a manageable level. Please God take some of the burden of worry from Fernanda's family that loves her so much! --We pray that Andres and Elena will be content, reasonable and as understanding as small children can possibly be while their sister recuperates from this detailed surgery and their mommy and daddy need to focus on helping their sister manage during this time. We love you all!!!!!!!!

Tarah Duarte <eyesongordon24@aim.com> Mogan Hill, ca United States - Sunday, March 26, 2006 2:35 PM CST Dear Jake and Debbie, I am so thankful that Debbi and I ran into Debbie the other day. God can even use my dysfunctional coffee habit for his glory! I just read the latest entry on Fernanda's web page. She is a beautiful child! From this two dimentional picture, I can clearly see her wonderful spirit! She is a true gift from God and she has a very special purpose indeed. I can see it just by looking at her - she transcends her circumstance, and has brought good and faithful people from all over together. I am committing to you both that your precious daughter will be in our prayers continually. Praise the Lord for her! I will make sure you and your family are added to our church's prayer list, and am also sending out an e-mail to my small group members so that we can support you as a group. I will need to do some more research on the wish list to see how best to support you in a tangible way, but we are committed to helping someway, anyway we can. I love you Jake! It has been a thousand years since we were kids, but I always considered you one of the most solid persons I have ever had the privilage to know. Debbie, you are as beautiful as ever and your family is incredible / adorable / precious / amazing! Please be well. Know that you are loved! Know that our Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. We know that in this world we will have trials. But we also know that Jesus has overcome every trial we will ever face. He has given us his victory in the face of our struggles, his comfort in times of pain, his peace in times of chaos, and his HOPE in all circumstances! Praise God for you! Praise God for your beautiful daughter! Her light is shining brightly! "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that you may be filled to the full measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:14-21 By the grace of God, BE FILLED! Mike and Debbi Sanchez Gilroy, CA 95020 - Monday, March 20, 2006 4:26 PM CST Dear Family, I have been praying for Fernanda since learning from a young man that attends your church about her. I frequent Crosswalk.com forums where "Chemdude" posts regularly. I just wanted you to know that Fernanda and your family are not forgotten. May His grace be sufficient unto you. Jalanda (landabee on Crosswalk) Jalanda <landabee@gmail.com> Palm Bay, FL USA - Monday, March 20, 2006 8:51 AM CST Fernanda, I am about to leave for Jr. High Church camp at Hume. I just wanted to let you know I think about you and pray for you everyday. I hope I can see you when I get back! I'll take lots and lots of pictures!! ;)(It'll be snowing and about 10 degrees!!) Always, Tarah Tarah Duarte <eyesongordon24@aim.com> Mogan Hill, CA United States - Thursday, March 9, 2006 10:38 AM CST Genesis 35:18 She called his name Ben-oni (son of sorrow), but his father called him Benjamin (son of my right hand). To every matter there is a bright as well as a dark side. Rachel was overwhelmed with the sorrow of her own travail and death; Jacob, though weeping the mother's loss, could see the mercy of the child's birth. It is well for us if, while the flesh mourns over trials, our faith triumphs in divine faithfulness. Samson's lion yielded honey, and so will our adversities, if rightly considered. The stormy sea feeds multitudes with its fishes; the wild wood blooms with beauteous flowerets; the stormy wind sweeps away the pestilence, and the biting frost loosens the soil. Dark clouds distil bright drops, and black earth grows gay flowers. A vein of good is to be found in every mine of evil. Sad hearts have peculiar skill in discovering the most disadvantageous point of view from which to gaze upon a trial; if there were only one slough in the world, they would soon be up to their necks in it, and if there were only one lion in the desert they would hear it roar. About us all there is a tinge of this wretched folly, and we are apt, at times, like Jacob, to cry, "All these things are against me." Faith's way of walking is to cast all care upon the Lord, and then to anticipate good results from the worst calamities. Like Gideon's men, she does not fret over the broken pitcher, but rejoices that the lamp blazes forth the more. Out of the rough oyster-shell of difficulty she extracts the rare pearl of honour, and from the deep ocean-caves of distress she uplifts the priceless coral of experience. When her flood of prosperity ebbs, she finds treasures hid in the sands; and when her sun of delight goes down, she turns her telescope of hope to the starry promises of heaven. When death itself appears, faith points to the light of resurrection beyond the grave, thus making our dying Benoni to be our living Benjamin Spurgeon's morning and Evening We keep praying for you and your family Fernanda. Hope to see you Sunday. Jack <NorCalFrahm@sbcglobal.net> - Wednesday, March 8, 2006 9:47 AM CST I can't wait to meet you Fernanda! I'm so excited! I'll see you tomorrow. Shannon Frasher <shayshay_11@hotmail.com> Scotts Valley , CA United States - Tuesday, February 14, 2006 8:33 PM CST Fernanda I can't wait to meet you! Im so excited! Shannon Frasher <shayshay_11@hotmail.com> Scotts Valley, CA - Tuesday, February 14, 2006 8:25 PM CST Dear Fernanda (and family); We had such a great visit with you yesterday!! I loved how you remembered Nicole's (accident-in-her-pants episode, sshhh...) from a few years back. It was funny, wasn't it! I loved how you enjoyed my compliments on your spiffy (butterfly embroidered) jeans; although you didn't let me take them home and fortunately Nicole didn't need them this time. It was exciting to see you enjoying Leah's cowboy dance. I am so happy you are getting more and more pureed foods and you and your parents are doing an incredible job. This is for all of the other 'readers' out there: It is clear, very clear that Fernanda completely enjoys the company of her 'peers'. Sure she has baby Elena, and fabulous parents and siblings but she just SHINES when she is with kids her age!! Make the time!!! Everybody wins! Monica Nascimento <monica.nascimento@synfora.com> Gilroy, CA - Monday, February 13, 2006 6:57 PM CST Dear Fernanda, Our prayers are with you today for a successful surgery to install the new baclofen pump.

Parker Family <parkermail@charter.net> Morgan Hill, - Tuesday, February 7, 2006 11:05 AM CST Here it is Feb. 6th 2006 and I have finally gone through Christmas correspondence. So I am just learning about the unbelievable trials your family have been through in the past two years. I read through the diray in tears to get a sense of what you have had to face. I can not even begin to understand the difficulites that you have been through. Reading about Fernanda has given me new perspective on what is really important. This can be so easily forgotten. I have been in awe at how your family, friends and care givers have rallied around you. It is amazing to read how well a community has come together. No parent should have to face the challanges that you have had with any child. Fernanda is truly blessed with the love that is around her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Kim Axelrod <kaxelrod@gte.net> Redmond, wa - Monday, February 6, 2006 2:44 PM CST Dear Fernanda, Our prayer for you is that the Lord bless you with his peace, joy and understanding. I am reading about miracles and it gives me hope that someday God in His Spirit, and in Jesus's name, would so bless you with healing. All things are possible to those who love God. You are God's beautiful child and He loves you more than we can comprehend. Thank you Lord for this little one. Let her feel your presence each day and comfort her. Thank you for her loving and dedicated family. Surround them all with your strength, peace and faith.
