Hi James Family! I want you to know I have been thinking of all of you, and following Leah's progress via your updates and through my sister, Kelley. I am so proud of you and the strength you continue to demonstrate throughout this painful ordeal. Leah sounds like an amazing little girl with a great big heart, and intuitiveness beyond her years. I enjoyed meeting her so many months ago. Kylie also is an unbelievable example of a true big sister. You are all in our prayers daily. We've shared your story with friends here in Cleveland and many have also added your family to their prayers. Thank you for the reminders to do things now, hug your kids a little tighter, and enjoy all of the wonders of childhood. Love to all of you! Molly, John, Madison, Michael, & Megan

I just wanted to stop by and let you know that we are thinking of you. Ryan had a like oversized umbrella stroller that worked real well, and when he was to big for that, because his feet would dangle we used a wheelchair, but he didn't like that so we found on of those wheelchairs that looked like strollers. I do pray for you and Leah. I pray for your whole family, I pray for you to have the strength to make it through. It is a hard journey to travel and please email me if you need anything at all. We can talk sometime. Praying for you always. Ryan's mommy forever and ever

Dear Karen, Phil, Kylie, and Leah: I hope the sun shines to make a beautiful, happy day for all of you tomorrow. The prayer list for Leah and your family is so very long. Our offer remains, so anytime you want to head north, just let us know. We like to say that it is "God's Country". The girls would enjoy themselves just playing in the sand by the aqua blue water. Mom and Dad just might enjoy themselves too.

I hope we do have a chance to talk and maybe meet each other someday. We do feel connected to those that share the same journey, an instant bond. This tumor is so so rare. When Rachel got "puffy" it was hard to buy clothes. I got "plus" sizes. She used to wear size 6 and 7/8 clothes and went up to 14/16 plus size. My mom hemmed the pants. She looked very nice all the time. She even wanted bows in her hair so she can feel pretty. Wearing clothes that fit I think is good for a persons self esteem. If its tight then its a reminder of the weight gain. If you ever have any questions, please email me, I will be very honest.
