Wendy,
I'm sorry I haven't written here until now, I just found it. I wanted to say I think you are so strong and an admiration to mothers everywhere for being able to live each day to the fullest despite the fact that your most precious angel, Karley, is gone. You have a great job now that you seem really happy with, and you, and Mike, and Ryan have been so strong through this horrible tragedy. As you know I have my two angels and I can't even begin to imagine the pain you have all been dealing with. I unfortunatly never got the chance to meet beautiful Karley but I love her because she was yours, and I love both of your families. I especially wanted to say I'm sorry because I know that you just lost another loved one in your life, your best friend, in a tragic car accident. Stay strong Wendy, they are both watching over you now, Karley & Laura, and know if you ever need me, I am here.

Christmas’

Each Christmas I remember
The ones of years ago;
I see my Parents and Grandparents with their Santa glow.

Each Christmas finds me dreaming
Of days that used to be,
When we hid presents here and there,
For all our family.

Each Christmas I remember
The smell in the air,
Of roasting turkey, pies
And cookies everywhere.

Each Christmas finds me longing
For Christmas’ now past,
And I am back in childhood
As long as memories last.

From our family to yours.

Merry Christmas and Happy New year!!

I saw your story on another website and after I read through your journal I had to write to you. My son Owen is 19 months old and 6 months ago he was diagnosed with a brain tumor AT/RT, when we took him to our local emergency room he was clenching his right hand in to a fist and walking kind of weird and they told me to stop pulling his arm out of the socket and that was it. I was enraged that a professional would say that I demanded that they send us to the children's in Milwaukee where he got the CT scan the showed the tumor. We have had issues with our oncologist not giving us all the options out there and basically telling us that he doesn't have a chance. Owen is doing well, he has had 5 high dose chemo treatments two brain resection surgeries and with one of those they did internal radiation, which we hope will make a difference in Owen's outcome. As of today he still has no sigh of tumor but as you know that can change in a second. Please contact me if there is any thing I can do. Also please check out Owens story at www.caringbridge.org/visit/owenlyons Again I am sorry for your loss but we all need to fight together to change this

I miss karley so much,Its so hard to put into words all the feelings that you harbor inside after the death of a love one, expecially your grand daughter. She was the most beautiful little girl. I feel so bad for wendy ,mike, and ryan, I know how my own pain is ,I cant even imagine theres. Even after 2 years it seems like a month ago. I visit her resting place every couple of months and i leave with a pit in my stomach and feel horrible when i leave. I do realize she's not suffering anymore but i feel our family was cheated out of watching her grow up to a young lady. My wendy has endured so many bad times in her life god knows shes deserves better times ahead. thank you to all the people who still check the web site, it does help wendy. thank you. Wendys dad mike.

I want to first say that your daughter is beautiful. What an angel. I was just scanning the internet, looking for someone I went to high school with when I came across this website. I was outraged when I read your entry on November 5,2004, the letter you wrote in regards to Karley's incompetent doctors. What ashame. I hope you are awarded the justice you deserve from that. I can only imagine what you have been through the last two years. I am good friends with Tom and Jennifer Bowen, Big Ben's mom and dad ( I noticed they had signed your guetbook, what a small world) and with Tammy Pinnow, Hanna Gibson's mom, if you know her. I know what they all went through when they lost their little ones. I imagine it never gets any easier. I will pray for your peace and comfort. God bless St.Jude Children's Hospital!!
In Memory of Hanna and Big Ben-

Id like to thank everyone who writes in this guestbook. Wendy is doing fine with her job as a postman or postwoman. we sure miss our granddaughter. thank god she suffers no more.Its so hard to write without feeling the pain over and over , i think thats why wendy doesnt come on here as often as she would like.Wendy is a strong woman but her heart is broken as is her husband mikes im sure. I dont know if time ever heals when you lose your baby at 20 months. I try to update as much as possible but its hard on all of us. the family is doing fine. It lessens the pain knowing how many people really care about the children with these terrible cancers. Please give a donation to st. judes whenever you can ,it really does go for a worthy cause. dont think a small amount doesnt help, it really does.these children need our help.

Ephesians 1:18-20
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, [19] and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, [20] which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, HAPPY EASTER!

She stood up for her daughter in the face of a board of doctors to explain her situation that her and Karley went through during her illness. The board hearing went unbelievable for Wendy. She was a strong young lady and didnt back down but was very calm, she won them over. I was so proud of Wendy and Karley must have been smiling in heaven. I love you wendy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked you lord, to take my hand,
And lead me to the gate.
Where troubles melt, and pain is gone,
And rainbows shine all day.
Lead me to where the grass is green,
And waters run deep and blue.
I feel so far away from home,
I feel so far from you.

I ask you Lord, to show me how,
And give me courage to.
To make it through another day,
To help me see it through.
Give me strenght to carry on,
Wrap me in your love.
Take my hand, my heart, my soul,
They all belong to you.

Because of you, oh Lord above,
You are what gets me through!
So please forgive me if sometimes,
I yearn for heaven too.
I want to say, to you dear Lord,
I couldn't make it without you!
Thank you for the love you gave,
So unconditionally.

I miss you all and think of you everyday. Sometimes it's hard to get through the days, but God reminds me of all my blessing he has given me, and still gives me, everyday. And he shows me that nothing can take, my memories, or my love, for my family, my friends, for him, and Jesus, away from me. Because what he gives us is forever and ever. And his love shows, in so many ways, everyday he shows his love, even in the saddest of times, his love shows. In the little things, especally! Right in front of us is his love. In me and you...his love is...and thats forever.
I miss you, through God though, I feel you, and I send my Love, through him, in the name of Jesus! Amen!
Love to all, Mom

And all who go to this site,I send my love and prayers. Because of a very specal love, we have all been brought here.
And that love is Karley, she might not be here on earth, but she is here in spirit! And she is a spirit of unconditional LOVE, someone so young, who we can't see anymore in this world, still lives. And she will live in our hearts forever, and we will meet one day in heaven, and what a day that will be! For me thinking of Karley and looking at her picture, shows me heaven, she is heaven, so beautiful, so sweet, so true, so pure. I see heaven when I see Karley, thank you God for letting me see LOVE, and letting me feel love, and letting me know HEAVEN. Through the love of one little girl...KARLEY BLOUIN...
Even as I write this I cry, but my tears are tears of love, for her, and tears of faith, in God. I know God is real, and God lives, for he showed me more love than I knew could be! In one little girls eyes, I see spirit and love and truth and all that is good, I see life everlasting in Karley's eyes. I feel the presents of the Lord, now and always, and all I have to do to feel the love and see all that is. Is through the eyes of a child....God Bless us all!

God bless my grand-daughter Karley. We all miss her terribly but know she's in heaven. I wish we could just understand why things like this happen to babies and children. My family is doing well, Wendy and Mike are both working hard and Ryan is on the go all the time. Im so proud of all three of them, its not easy keeping your family and you sanity together after a loss of your child.
I really think Karley is thier guardian angel, looking out for the three of them. Well im at work so ill end this by saying Im so lucky to have a family like the one i have,
I love all my children.

Happy New Year to everyone,
This is Karley's grandpa. We all miss Karley so much but know she is smiling from above. Its so hard to understand why these things happen to babies everywhere. There are so many questions why these things happen. Im greatful that i got to spend 20 months with her, but i feel like Karley was cheated out of growing up and enjoying life like she deserved. She was such a great little girl, ill never loose that picture of her laugh and smile. Wendy is doing better with her new job. I believe it takes alot off her mind though i know she is still tore up inside. Thank GOD she has ryan who can keep anyone busy. Mike and Wendy are both pretty busy with there jobs. It must be hard working different shifts, I hope the best for both of them. They still have a wonderful family together. Im so proud of Mike, Wendy and Ryan and pray there lifes together will will be a happy one. They seem to heading in the right direction. Again Happy New Year to everyone, and GOD bless.

I must say, wendy has been so supportive during this hard time of mine. I didn't realize that finding those little tiny nike shoes and those hats and gloves and mittens, all her clothes I found in the closet, would have such an effect. Gosh, when I put it all in the closet I was still in shock that she died. Well now the shock wore off, and as I entered that closet upstairs, time stood still, and wow it was as I had left it. Bang, the hammer hit me, reality set in. Ouch, that hurts. Those tiny nike shoes so damn cute and no feet to fill them. The feet I know, where cuter then the shoes. And worst of all, 4 socks and 3 people, the one that says Karley on it is enough to drop the strongest man. Don't care how strong you are, this would crush you. Yep, crushed I am, but at least now my wife is talking to me about it. Communication has never existed, but it did the other day, we talked, we listened, finally. Hard time of year, these seasons of holidays. Lots of pain and hurt in the air, missing loved ones, old and young. But, in the end, who can question God's plan. I'm not gonna, but, I will ask him for strength to get through it yet again, and again, and again. Because i know, it will never go away. Mike <------ needing prayers

Sorry all. I cant stop coming to this page. Recently I went in the closet where all Karley's stuff is. I got the x-mas tree out. But I haven't been the same. For the 1st time I have felt really angry and mad. Every little thing bugs me. I just need to collect myself. I dont want to ruin x-mas by my poor behavior and attitude. Sorry to all who know me. This season is a tough one for everyone, I got to stop being an Ebeneezer Scruge guy, or whatever his name is. Ben's parents probably know the mental roller coaster that you go through. Time to get myself back in line. I'm ashamed by this. I'm normally ok. I think.

Things are finally going good for Wendy and I. She got a Great job at the post office. Ryan and I see her very little now but we are hanging in there, spending all the time we can together as a family. At the same time Wendy got her new job, I got moved to a new department at work which is great, but It's so stressful working with someone who hates you. Five years ago he got laid off and I got to stay, and he is still holding a grudge. Making life miserable for me. Saying nice things to me but talking behind my back. Hate that crap, It's very frustrating, hoping Wendy's got it easier then me at her work. Some people try to make themselve out to be such a hero at work, and backstab, make it look like they are helping you and training you, teaching you everything you know..... (ya right) more like teaching you as little as possible, hoping you will fail. But, this is the world we live in. Tied of fakes. Work is getting to me. Be genuine, even at work... Everywhere.

I wanted to share something that was given to be by a friend. It’s a neat angle on the 23rd Psalm:

The Lord is my Shepherd
That’s Relationship!

I shall not want
That’s Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
That’s Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters
That’s Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul
That’s Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
That’s Guidance!

For His name sake
That’s Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
That’s Testing!

I will fear no evil
That’s Protection!

For Thou art with me
That’s Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
That’s Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
That’s Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil
That’s Consecration!

My cup runneth over
That’s Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
That’s Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
That’s Security!

Forever
That’s Eternity!

Ive been thinking of little Karley alot and I miss her terribly. When she walked into a room the place lit up from her smile and big blue eyes. It was strange how a little girl could be in so much pain and be such a good little girl, that was Karley. She was such a pleasure being around. I kiss her picture on my frig every morning on my way out the door to work. Not a day goes bye that i dont think of her. Thank GOD Wendy took hundreds of pictures of Karley so we can remember those smiles and blue eyes forever! My daughter wendy and son in law mike seem to be doing better. although I know both there hearts are still shattered. They try there best to move forward and are doing well it seems. Wendy's new job is going great, takes some strain off mike. Im very proud of both of them. Ryan starts school next year. I think he'll love school. Anyway just wanted to put some of my thoughts on Karleys guestbook because i miss her so much. Ill never forget you Karkar, love grampa

Out of hundreds of apps wendy got chosen for the job. Thank you Karley for looking out for Mom and Dad and Ryan. You are their guardian angel. Its so hard to understand Gods plan. Sometimes your faith wavers when you loose such a young baby like Karley. She's my shining star when i look to the heavens. God bless you Karley, Love grandpa.

Words cannot express the sadness and anger I feel for the tragic loss of your sweet little girl. I am the mother of a 5 1/2 yrs. boy and 2 1/2 yrs. girl. I am praying that some kind of justice has come your way for the misdiagnosis. I know that will not bring back your daughter but from this maybe at least one person will learn to fight, like you did, when you feel something is wrong. I pray for you a peace that passes all understanding.

I Know that words can never repair the hurt in your heart even though you try your best to hide the pain. You have great things ahead of you Wendy. When I look at at you and listen to you i see alot of me in you, that can be scary ha! I know ive done alot of things wrong trying to raise the three of you alone but always know every bit of my heart and love is for my three children. I love you wendy!!!!!!!!!! Your Dad

I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh you left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I feel an angel's touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

In reguards to my last post, I was refering to when your kids are healthy, safe, and happy. Their "well-being" brings such an everlasting peace and comfort to any parent. I know that any of those three things can change at any moment. But until then, life is so good when everyone is healthy and happy. I'm sure everyone knew what I meant in the last post anyway. Just wanted to clarify.

Hello everyone, I'm karley's Father. Recently a year has gone by, how humbling. Hate to repeat myself, but It is such an honor to be Karley's dad. I wanted to know what love is, and I had some one to show me, Thank you Karley. There was always something extra special about her love. I used to pray to God, Let me talk to an angel from Heaven, speaking to Karley in those simple words, allows me to say.... Amen..
I noticed an entree my mother-in-law left. Saying she wanted to come down and visit. She misses her children Wendy, Lori, And Cody, I know that God will make a way for her to see her children, .. who she loves.
I would like to thank Aunt Sue for planting that tree. And i would like to thank my wife of 4 years, for being such a great wife. Really she is a good one, more Godly-like everyday. Her last name was Goddard. To me that means Godly -like,,,,, right? She lives up to that name more and more everyday, as we all should.
Lastly, I would like to say, Remember your kids! There are no Earthly things greater. Your kids come first. Not wealth and riches, or items of value, or collections of this and that! Love your children first! Where your money is, there your heart is also! So, love your kids! Things of this world just rot away! But, the well-being of your kids lasts forever! Your kids come first always! You never know when their last day is. I know that personally, I hope you can't say the same. God bless.

Covington, LA - Monday, June 20, 2005 7:22 PM CDT

Thinking of your sweet baby girl. God is Good all the time. Sometimes we don't see it b/c we are blinded by what we want. It is hard to remember at times that God's plan doesn't always go along with our plan. That is when we have to put our trust and faith in Him that everything is going to be alright. The best thing is that God doesn't hold grudges and he is always forgiving. I too have done my share of getting angry and blaming him for the bad in my life. Thank you God for forgiving me.

Hi this is Karley's granddad mike. Ive been reading all the past journals my daughter wendy has written about Karley. It brings tears to my eyes. I get angry that I cant fix the pain in our hearts. The pain in my heart is almost unbearable,I can only imagine Wendy mike and ryans. My son cody and lori are also heartbroken over Karley. I found out it really doesnt get any easyer as time goes on. I buy very expensive toys like choppers ,corvettes, boats,ect. but nothing helps the hurt i feel inside about losing the love of my life cindy from divorce, and the loss of my grandaughter Karley. Nothing will ever replace the hurt in my heart. Thank GOD for my children who keep me busy trying to do my best raising them. Karley I'll always love you, I stare at your pics everyday at work. you are so pretty. Wendys birthday is thursday may 26th, Please God let her have the best bithday ever. I love Wendy so much, each of my kids are different from one another, but very special in their own ways. Lori who's 17 has gone thru so much in her on right. and Cody who's 14 and my sports buddy. I love all you guys!!! Karleys big brother Ryan who is 4 is a very special boy with alot of talent at what ever he does is my first granchild. Adam who's 3 is Lori's little boy is also a pleasure to be around, I love both of those little guys. I guess all in all I still have to thank God for everything we do have, and thank you Cindy for all the love we shared together and for the children you had for us. I'll always love you Cindy my childrens mother.

I search for what to say, Wendy, you have been so tried yet so blessed. To have your father and you husband say such honoring words about you. And to have two such wonderful men in your life. A husband who loves God, loves you and has such respect, I know this is a blessing and will be a sustaining force in your life. Karley was a precious gift, and only God can ease the pain. Meanwhile, I know you and your husband will be ready for that grand tour given by one of God's special angels!!

St. Albans, WV - Wednesday, May 18, 2005 10:07 AM CDT

Hi, you may not know me, but I AM, Karley's dad. It brings me great honor to boast of this. For, I have not known any other baby that smiled more then her. I think we should call Guiness, for the worlds longest smile, Karley wins.

The support of Wendy's Father and Mother is an example to all of us, who are parents, in how we should support and love our children, in the time of crisis and need. Everyone expresses their love for one another in different ways, the way Wendy's family does it is loud and clear. I appreciate that. I wish I could be the wind Beneath Her Wings ( Bet Midler).

Mike Goddard and Cindy love Wendy so much, that it brings me comfort and peace, that someone loves her, as much as I do, and possibly more. Karley might have been the "Apple of my eye", but it is Wendy that I adore, and look to for the fullfillment of love in my life. If you knew the life I lived, you would want it for yourself. I have a great and easy life, because of my wife who supports me, and is by-my-side at all times (even when I am severely wrong).

Blessed is the best way to say it. Blessed I am for having the two children I prayed for, blessed I am for having a wife and family who loves me. Blessed I am for Wendy's parents and mine for supporting us. And Blessed are you who are struggling and calling upon the Lord for help. I know that he hears. Surely he has heard me, and given me, and my family the strength, to get through all this and then some.

My heart is with all the other families who have lost their babies too, such as the Family of Ben, and Hanna, and so many more. It's hard, but you find out if you are built on rock or sand. Let me tell you, I have learned what I am built on with Wendy, It's definately rock solid, because it would have washed away by now, in the hard times we have been through.

We must trust in him (the lord Jesus), even when our children beat us to him, even when we pray, and still our will is not done but his will is, and we must understand that God has a plan, he knows best, and he is on the throne. I believe that God is fair, and he is just, and now there is something in Heaven that all our eyes are focused on.......Karley. How I want to be there too. With her. Could there be someone better to show me around Heaven? ( besides Jesus?)

Wendy,
There is not a day that doesnt go by that I am not thinking about one of you...When ever I see Lori all I can think of is Karley, I think thats why its hard for me to really see everyone as much as I used too. I know she wasnt my "real" neice but to me she seemed like it..most of the time whats goes through my head is, why Karley?,its harder to think about it knowning you know her and her family. I miss you very much...Email me anytime you would liek I would love to hear from you...

Having you as a daughter Wendy is pure heaven-sent.Having you kids,with your Father,was my greatest achivement...ever!And my heart soars with unconditional love for all of you,your Dad too. I really am proud of you all, and am forever greatful to your Dad for keeping you all together as a family for all these years. I read the letters your Dad writes to you here in these pages and I can see the love and concern he has for you Wendy. He would do anything to take that pain away for you, and he has worried about you, and I feel his heart is broken, as is mine, and yours, and Mikes, and Ryans, and Lori's, cody's and Adam's for the loss of Karley. And being a parent with no way to help your children is an truly unbearable thing to endure, as I know you know this too. So just know Wendy, we feel your sadness and if we could make it go away we would.All of us would. So Wendy next time things get a little hard to take, let your Dad help you, and you can do that by just going over to him and give him a big hug and let his big shoulders hold you up for a while, and just tell him you love him and that he does help you, by being there for you. I know you will feel better, and he will too.And know when you do this your hugging me too! Cause your Dad has big shoulders, and he's strong and loving and can do those kind of things. If I haven't told you lately Mike that you have done a great job with the kids, well you have done a great job. Thank you. I'll always be greatful to you for being there for the kids.And keeping a roof over their heads and food in their stomach. You've done a fine job in being a parent, for both of us. You are a good man, with three great kids! Take care everyone, I miss you and think of you everyday. Love Mom

I have ben blessed to have the children ive had. Its so hard to see my daughter harboring the sadness she has to endure with the loss of her baby Karley. I wish somehow I could make it all better for but I cant. hopefully time will ease the pain in her heart somewhat. There's nothing that hurts more than a broken heart,I know !! I think of Karley everyday and depending on my mood, I either smile from her good memorys or im sad at the latest one. But we can all feel lucky we got to know her before she left to be with the lord. They are so lucky to have her in heaven I only wished we could have had her longer. My daughter Wendy and my son in law were the parents people could be proud of. They truly love their little girl and boy. I love you guys , your dad

Rosie has this inner warmth and caring about someone she never knew but somehow its like shes been sent to know us.

Wendy,
You were awesome this morning on the radio. You were so articulate and compasionate the way you spoke of Karley. You moved me to tears (again) and everybody that heard her story as well. I made a donation to St. Jude in honor of Karley. You should be very proud of the work you are doing for childhood cancer. You are giving back when you have lost so much. I loved the song that you had them play for Karley. It was just beautiful. Keep up the good work and best of luck with the hearing. Keep us posted.

I hope that you continue to fight for what you think is right (and what your "mommy mind" knows it right). I know I didn't know her, or even you, but Karley is in my prayers and thoughts...Ryan too! Please, never give up. We are all behind you!

Its been a while since I have signed the guestbook. I just wanted to check in and say how much I've missed Karley. She is always on my mind, Adam always talks about her telling me how much he misses her and wants her to come back. He used to always play with her and Ryan when Wendy would watch him while I was in school. He says prayers to her everynight, we both do. She was such an amazing baby, so cute and full of smiles and joy. I thankgod shes safe and doesn't have to suffer anymore. Karley is an angel, a guardian to everyone she loved and loved her, which if you knew her you had no choice but to love her, you just had to fall in love with her when you saw her. I remember every time we'd go shopping or to a store we'd just hear remarks of how cute she was, and oh shes a little gerber baby. Everyone just adored her, and her little grin she had like she was up to something wrong was so cute, but no matter what she did you couldn't get mad at her. She was such a cute little baby. I'm just glad how close i was with her and how close i am with my sister, shes an amazing mother and my rolemodel, its funny how much we used to fight now we're like best friends, i love it. Her kids and my own son means so much to me, I'll never forget Karley, I thankgod for the relationship i have with them. Wendy your a hero, such a brave mother and you would do anything for the ones you love. Im always here for you, love your little sis.

Make sure to listen to 99.9 thurs. Feb 17th, wendy will be on air telling Karley's story.

Wendy Wendy Wendy,
You have me in tears again as I read your last update. Please know that the "what ifs" and the "guilt" are all part of the grieving process. There is no protocol or time table for grief. I met you the day Karley passed away. My first impression of you was how devoted you were to your baby girl. I was in awe of your compassion and love that you showed for Karley. I got a sense from you right away that there was nothing in this world that you wouldn't do for her. When you have your dark days, try to think of the wonderful things that you have done in her memory. You have
raised awareness of ATRT.You have made those doctors aware of their actions. Plus think of how you brightened the Christmas for the kids in the Barbara Bush center. What you did and what you wrote to them was priceless. I'm sure Karley is so proud of you. Take pride in knowing how you are carrying on her legacy. I can honestly say I am a better mother and a better person for knowing Karley. Take all the time you need to grieve. It is a process. You might take 2 steps forward and one step back. You have a very big hole in your heart and it will take time to heal. Eventually you will move forward. Please keep updating. Share your feelings and emotions with people who care about you. I think of your family often. Take care and stay well.

From one mother to another, you did what was best and Karley was lucky to have you for parents. God bless your heavy hearts and please, Lord, alleviate the awful guilt and memories and replace them with good.

When i read that wendy has so much guilt about Karley, it makes me wonder why. My daughter wendy was the best mom a little girl could ever hope for. She did everything she could for Karley from the day she was born untill the day she went to be with God. She held my granddaughter till the very end. Wendy you need to know that everyone who knows you, knew that Karley left us that day in the arms of the most unselfish mom who truly loved her little girl. You and mike did the best you could possible do. I also cry when i think how this must hurt you, mike and ryan. Wendy carry on Karley's legacy with smiles and laughter,thats what karley would want from the mother she so loved. And never think any decisions you and mike made were ever wrong, they were made because of how powerful you both loved your little girl. Im very proud of you and mike as parents. Her memories will never leave you good or bad, But try to remember, mike and you did all you could do for Karley and im sure she's looking down on the three of you with that beautiful smile and bright blues eyes telling GOD she lived with the best family ever. I love you guys!!! Your DAD

hi wendy
just stopped by to see how you are doing.
i hope someday your pain will be less painful.
i dont think that ever will happen.
its a very hard thing for a mother.
my grandmother lost 3 childen before she passed away.
one @ 9 mos.
one @ 8 years old
and one @ 42 years old
ill alway remember the talks we had and the pain she was going though.years had passed when she lost my uncle he was older.i was about 16 or 17 was he died.
he was taking his lunch, bowling with friends fall to the floor and that was it, he was gone on times for good byes.
nana had a very hard time with that ,her others she lost years before i was born.
i can still hear her words.
she make it though each day,and that would bring her closer to her kids.
in her passing and my grandfather that past long before her.
said here comes the train and the kids are on it .
i said go to the train nana .
i can only hope now she is at peace .
i dont think it gets easy by any means.
i think you find a way to make it though
take care

I came across Karley's site while doing some research of my own. My daughter Bayleigh passed away December 19, 2002 from complications resulting from ATRT. She would have been five years old in another couple of days. Taking the gifts the the hospital was a wonderful idea. Just felt compelled to say something I guess.

What a wonderful and caring thing for you to do to donate gifts to the kids in the hospital.

I pray the new year brings healing to you and your family.
