Dear Leah, Though I was never fortunate enough to meet or know you, I think about you often. I pray for you and your family and I ask the same from my children. I've talked to them about you and just tell them what a special little girl you are. My heart gets very sad at times and I know my children feel it. Do you remember when I held your hand and talked with you for a while. I couldn't leave you and I was praying to wake up from a BAD dream. I do hope this was okay with mom and dad. I'd like them to know that you were not alone. You see, I work for NTFH and I know my job is to be strong for the families (this IS what is best for all families) but, I am only human and I apologize to your family Leah, for any moment I may have started to break down. I tried to keep it to myself and possibly walked away at those moments. I guess I just wanted you to know that you are still on my mind and I think of you often. All my love.

To Leahs family, I'm so sorry about the rude comment. There's no excuse for something like that... Sammi put Leahs picture on the wall next to her bed so she can look at it and think of her as she's falling asleep. We think of you often.

Dear Karen, Phil and Kylie~ Because you have a choice in how to look at how this person spoke to you I ask you to look at it from another perspective. Don't hate the person who said that...feel sooooooo sorry for them because they obviously never had a love, a relationship, a beautiful little angel that they had to say so long too. I say "so long" because there are no goodbyes. I feel sorry for him. I am so sad for your loss...but soooo happy that you have that kind of love and those kind of memories! My family is always thinking of yours and wishing you peace. My little girl Olivia prays every night that the angels take care of Leah in Heaven. ~Peace to you all~

My prayers continue to be with you and your family. People can be insensitive and completely empty hearted. I cried when I read your entry. There is absolutely no excuse for a comment like that. To anybody. But I suppose God tells us to forgive those who don't know any better, as difficult as it is. Turn the other cheek and walk away because unlike that person, you and your husband and have grace. Again, anytime you want to talk - do not hesitate to email or see me. Warm Regards, K

Thinking and praying for you all daily. What grace and dignity you have shown in wishing the Lord's guidance on these sad, cruel neighbors who seem to be lacking any human compassion or emotion. This behavior is beyond comprehension. Love and peace.

Phil, Karen, and Kylie- Forget about the idiots of the world, you (and we) have no time for that. Your family has too many good people thinking about you, and all along the way you have met so many people that truly make this world a better place to live. I know hearing those words must be very difficult (and in fact, my first reaction was like yours), but I started to think that your lives have no time for people like that. There are more people that care and that's all that matters...period.

Phil and Karen, We read your update on September 11 and it has been my experience that 98% of the people in this world are good, decent, hard working people. Then there is the remaining 2% that are uncaring, self-centered and evil. Unfortunately one of your neighbors fits that 2% category. I always found it was better to focus on the decent 98% of the people in this world and to forget about the 2%. You both have many friends that will help you get through this tough time in your life. Our prayers will be with you. Your New York Connection.

Karen, It is just so unfortunate that you and your family must deal with uncaring, rude people at this most difficult time. Long ago someone wise told me not to let uncaring people rob me of my precious time (with family and friends) by thinking about them and their comments. It is hard but if you can, please don't spend another moment thinking about this person or their comment. As you can tell from the many guestbook entries, you and your family are loved by so very many other caring, loving people -- some of whom have never even met you. When you return to work, I am just a few steps away at WHQ if you need someone to talk to or to give you a supportive hug.
