Erin Gr [e] Kirb, I think of you all the time. Now, I am packing up things in my apartment. I have reminders of you everywhere. I have birthday cards you'd given me and pictures of you. I really enjoy re-reading the notes you wrote in those cards. I miss you so much. I'm getting my Masters, and you never got to finish your Bachelors. That's so unfair. Often when I do things, I think of how unfair it is that you didn't get to do or accomplish certain things in your life. Don't get me wrong, your life was great; I just hoped you could have more of it! I still don't believe you are gone. I love you, Kirb. Wednesday, November 28th 2007 - 09:00:10 PM

Jessica [e] Hey Kirby. I was just sitting here thinking about you, and I wanted to let you know how much I miss you. You were a good friend to me, and I'll never forget that. Friends like you don't come along often. I miss you, Kirb. Wednesday, November 21st 2007 - 11:44:26 AM

megan russo [e] Hey Kirb, I just wanted to let you know I think of you every single day and dream of you at night.You were my very best friend; a friend like I had never had before and havent't had since.You'll never know how much you are loved and missed. Sunday, November 11th 2007 - 11:24:51 PM

Mandy Keown Hey Kirby! Just wanted to say hey. Miss you. Sunday, September 23rd 2007 - 03:30:50 PM

katie I love you and miss you always Wednesday, September 5th 2007 - 12:08:21 AM

katie hey honey, i can't believe how long its been. It seems like yesterday that i saw your bubbly , smiling face. I miss you so much. I want to call you and tell you everything, it just isn't the same. I hope you'll watch over me and I promise to always remeber the good times. I love you Kirby!!! Wednesday, September 5th 2007 - 12:07:43 AM

Mary [e] Kirby, Alot had happen in the past 2 years. You have been so missed. I lost my dad on July 31st and I can't imagine the pain your mom and dad are going through. My hearts hurts sometimes I feel like I can't even breath. I miss you and Riki and my Dad. We question God why? I hope to see him face to face so I can one day get those answers. Death is a word that really can't be described as far as the pain and understanding. Everyone has different feeling and different ways of handling it. You are a very special person and loved very much. You, Riki and my Dad just get things ready because when it is my time. There will be one heck of a reunion. I love ya girl. Friends Forever! Never Forgotten! Mary Babin Tuesday, September 4th 2007 - 12:46:56 PM

Mandy [e] Hey Kirby! Well, in remembrance of you we went out last night and drank margaritas! It's hard to believe it's been two years. Time flies by so fast. The past couple of days, I've really been thinking about you. Remembering seeing you in the hospital in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Lafayette. But most of all I remember all the good times we had going out to eat, seeing Mean Girls and other movies, watching the Exorcist and getting scared, going out in Lafayette, and just hanging out at the apartment. Even though your time on Earth was short, you have made an impact. All the lives you have touched in life and in death will not forget your friendship, love, hope, spirit, and everything else that made you so great. We all miss you and hope that you are watching out for us. Love You Kirb-Nasty!! Tuesday, September 4th 2007 - 10:24:14 AM

Amy Falcon [e] Forever in my thoughts. May God Bless you Hawthorne family. Love, Amy Tuesday, September 4th 2007 - 09:02:38 AM

Mandy [e] Hey Kirb, Well, today is the second anniversary of THE hurricane. Just wanted to let you know that I was still thinking of you and missing you. I just keep thinking about how we were trying to get to the hospital to see you the weekend before the hurricane when everyone was evacuating and they wouldn't let us into New Orleans. I wish I could have seen you one last time to talk to you and hear you laugh. Love and Miss You Lots, Mandy Wednesday, August 29th 2007 - 02:22:05 PM

We call the room that has all your furniture "Kirby's room". I really miss you and hope that you are still looking in on us. I feel you are and it's really comforting. Happy Fourth of July Kirby. We miss you!!! Mandy Wednesday, July 4th 2007 - 09:31:34 AM

Jessica Hey Kirb, I was just sitting here thinking about you and wanted to tell you how much I miss you. I had something that I was dying to tell you, and then I realized all over again that I couldn't, at least not in the way I want to. That's what still makes this really hard. I miss you Kirby. I always will. Saturday, June 23rd 2007 - 01:31:46 AM

Mandy [e] [h] Kirby, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!I know it is going to be a very hard day for some of us who still love and miss you terribly. But maybe you'll have one of those drinks you were craving so bad during chemo. So I hope that you are enjoying your day. I know I will try to enjoy it for you too! Mandy Saturday, April 28th 2007 - 07:37:30 AM

Atienne & Wynd Andolini [e] We never met and yet because of your dear friend we came to visit this site as she is still deeply mourning over you, leaving ahead of your time here. But she still loves and misses you . My wife and I will toast you on the eve of your Birthday as we know what a impression you have made on others. Blessed thoughts and Prayers to all your family and friends Kirby. May you always rest in peace knowing that so many care for you to this day and beyond. Atienne & Wynd Andolini ~ 28th, April 2007 Saturday, April 28th 2007 - 02:49:57 AM

Jessica [e] Hey Kirb, There isn't a day that goes by that I don't still think about or miss you. I wanted to wish you a happy birthday. I wish you were still here so that I could call you and tell you, but I know you'll have a much better birthday in heaven. I guess that's just me being selfish again wishing you were here. Anyway, Happy Birthday Kirby. Please watch over everyone. We all still love and miss you. Saturday, April 28th 2007 - 12:19:35 AM

Erin Gr [e] Kirb- I think about you all the time. I still can't believe that you are gone. Today I entered the lab and Dr. Watson had a student sitting at my desk to take an exam. My desk faces the wall and all I could see was the back of her. I could have sworn it was you... the hair, the clothes, all of it. I couldn't wait for her to finish the test and turn around...part of me hoping it was you and the other part knowing it wasn't and hoping to see someone else so that my brain could know that it wasn't you. I miss you, and I know you are better because you aren't suffering. I will miss you and love you always. - Erin Tuesday, March 13th 2007 - 04:27:26 PM

Mandy Hano [e] Dear Kirby, I still think about you every day. It is hard not to and I fear the day when I won't think about you at all. I always reflect on the times we shared together, hoping that I will never forget a detail. I still listen to some of your favorite songs although it is hard not to cry. I wish you were here to share my thoughts with. To have you here, as my best friend to talk to when I'm upset. You were always good at listening and giving me advice. I miss that. Please keep an eye on everyone. Thursday, February 15th 2007 - 03:52:15 PM

Donald Hawthorne [e] Hey Kirby just to let you know that in two days Christmas will be here and another Year without you here. I Miss You so Much and wish that I could have done more to help you so that you could be here Today. I am sure that you will have A Good White Christmas in Heaven. Tell Rikijo and Ed I said hello and I Love You All.(LOVE YOU GIRL) DAD. Saturday, December 23rd 2006 - 07:14:54 AM

Jessica [e] Hey Kirby, I've been thinking about you a lot lately. I still sometimes have trouble believing that you're gone. I've been dreaming about you a lot. You always look so happy in them. I'm sure that you are happy, but I still wish you were here. I miss you. Tuesday, December 12th 2006 - 10:46:31 PM

Monday, September 11th 2006 - 08:29:46 PM

Mandy Keown Hey Kirby. Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking about you. I miss you girl. Thursday, September 7th 2006 - 12:56:54 AM

katie [e] kirby, I can't put into words the way i feel. I miss you so much. You were the best friend i could have ever asked for. You helped me through some times that only you knew about. You let me be myself and you loved me anyway. I can't believe it has been a year, i know you we looking over me and half the time you were probably thinking how retarded i was, but you always just laughed at me, that was about all anyone could do. I love you so much girl. Love katie Monday, September 4th 2006 - 09:24:38 PM

Mandy G. Hano [e] [h] hey kirby, I can not believe it's been a year already. So much has changed and it has just gone by so fast. I miss you terribly and this past year has been hard without you. I missed you at my wedding. I remember when I called you right after I got engaged (before I even called my parents) and told you. We were so excited cause we knew that we were going to have fun planning it together. And then the day came and you weren't there standing with me, holding my hand, laughing and enjoying the day with me. When we got to the church we went to this room on the side and waited for the time to start. About a minute later we heard a toilet flush and your dad came out the restroom. I held it together but lost it inside. I was so happy he was there!!!!!!! But it just reminded that you weren't. I know you are in a better place but I don't think that some of us are completely at peace with your passing yet. Please watch over your family and your loved ones. I miss you, think of you all the time, and love you very much. Monday, September 4th 2006 - 01:43:57 PM

Leigha Menefee Hey Kirby, well on Monday it will be a year. I miss you so much. I just wish you were here, but I know you can't be. I saw your grave the other day. It was in the middle of a horrible rain storm and I couldn't even get out of the car. But I was there. I miss you. Look out for your family, I'm sure this is a really sad time for them. I love you and miss you. Leigha Saturday, September 2nd 2006 - 05:50:55 PM

Donald Hawthorne [e] Just to let you know that Monday the 4th is coming to fast. Already one year since you Died. It seems like you went on a trip and I am waiting for you to come back but in reality I know that you are not just wishing.I love You for everything you gave me and to others. You had a heart that couldn't die you just always gave and worried about everyone else.I love and miss you very much and wish you were here everyone does.LOVE YOU GIRL (DAD). Thursday, August 31st 2006 - 04:27:43 PM

Erin Graugnard [e] [h] Kirb: I'm having a rough day today. I miss you so much lately. I know it will be a year soon, so its as if I have a dark cloud looming over my head. I hate this so much; I can't imagine how your family is coping. I also just found out that Scott has lukemia. I miss you, Kirby...I miss you so much. I was re-reading all of the entries on your site regarding your condition and progress over time. I am glad you are not suffering anymore. I just wish you were here. Friday, August 25th 2006 - 07:54:27 PM

Donald Hawthorne [e] Hey Kirby just wanted to say hey since I havent written to you in a while.It has been hot down here.Tell God he needs to turn up the AC a little.I have been busy but just wanted to tell you how much I miss you and your smile everyone does.Tell everyone I said hello and if you could watch over Sheri aunt who is in the hospital with cancer.LOVE YOU (DAD) Tuesday, August 1st 2006 - 04:29:58 PM

Colby Chabaud [e] Kirby, I just found out today what happened. I had no idea what was going on. It has saddened me very much to hear of this. As soon as I found out, I said a prayer for you. I just couldn't help but to remember all the times I spent knowing you, especially from band and all the band trips we went on. I remember the days I used to sit with your group at lunch at ACHS in that little walkway. I remember your laugh and your smile. I remember your unique sense of humor. I know I never told you this, but you could always make me laugh. It would be just the littlest thing you would say. That's all it took. I didn't know where you went after graduation. However, every time I would go play at Saint Michael's, I would look for you to see if you would be there. Every once in awhile, I would see Kerry, but missed seeing you. Actually, I always looked for you every time I played at Saint Michael's, even through high school. All this time, I never knew anything about what was going on. Now, I'm just completely shocked. I know out of habit I will still look for you every time I play at that church. I'm sure I'll still picture you there smiling. I just can't get over that I won't ever see you there again. If I had any idea what happened, I would have been honored to come and play for the funeral. Kirby, I know you are in a better place. I am really heartbroken over this, but can take comfort knowing that you are not in any more pain or suffering. I plan to come visit and see your grave one day. Maybe we can then relive some of those good ole times. In the mean time, I will miss you very much. Thanks for the good times and memories. Sunday, July 2nd 2006 - 05:08:13 PM

Donald Hawthorne [e] Hey Kirby its your Dad just checking up on you making sure that you are all right and as always I Love You and Miss you.It seem like too many people are getting sick and dying and maybe you can help to do something about that God permitting.Tell RikiJo and Ed I said hello. Talk to you later (DAD). Thursday, June 22nd 2006 - 03:48:42 PM

Erin Gr [e] Hey, Kirb. Jessica and I went visit you on your birthday. I'm glad I finally made it out there to see your grave. Your family has it so nice. I especially love the five vases that I assume your dad made for you. It's great! It is so peaceful and quiet out there. I think about you all the time. I still don't believe that you are gone. It's still not real. I don't understand it, nor will I ever. I miss your laugh. I know you loved the summer because you could go tan and get a new, cute summer purse! I hope you have a happy summer and Happy Birthday again, Kirb. I miss you. Monday, May 1st 2006 - 09:43:18 PM

Leigha Menefee [e] Happy day late birthday Kirby. I was thinking about you all last night. I miss you so much. I wish you were here. My friends are starting to come visit me out here in California and I wish you could be one of them. I think about you all the time and talk about you every chance I get. Please look out for your family. And me. It's hot outside, time for us to go get snowcones. I love you. I miss you. Leigha Saturday, April 29th 2006 - 11:50:26 PM

Mandy Keown Hey Kirb. Just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. I know I am a day late, sorry. Talk to you later. Mandy Saturday, April 29th 2006 - 08:01:09 AM

Jessica [e] [h] Hey Kirby. I still think about you every day and still wish that you were here with us. I know that you're always with us, but it's still not the same. I have to keep telling myself that you're happier now than you were when you were here. It doesn't make me miss you any less, though. Anyway, I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday and tell you how much I miss you, even though I know you already know. Happy Birthday Kirb. Friday, April 28th 2006 - 02:31:00 PM

Sheila [e] Hello Kirby, I was sitting here thinking about you and Riki Jo and how powerful you both were. I can see the smiles on both of your faces. It took alot of courage to smile when I know your insides were torn apart. All the plans you both had made only to relinquish to God. I would give my life to have you both here on earth with your families. I will always remember you as the shy quite angel who never hurt anyone, and Riki who would tell you exactly what she thought but always meant it to help and not hurt. You both were the BEST. Love you forever, Sheila Friday, January 6th 2006 - 09:29:27 PM

Remember when y'all were in kindergarten thru 4th grade together. Then you were with Nic in the ACHS band. I hope your family can get through the holidays okay. I know they love and miss you. God bless all of you! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Ms. Cathy Monday, December 12th 2005 - 12:52:31 PM

Mandy [e] hey kirb-nasty. well, i haven't been able to go a day without thinking of you. and with the holidays coming and going, it is so hard. For halloween, i cried cause i remembered how before you got sick, we were thinking of throwing a halloween party at the apartment. and now that wedding plans are being made i keep wanting to call you to tell you about it, cause that's what i would have been doing anyways. I pick up the phone and just stare at your number (i haven't been able to delete it yet). And now i'm graduating and i know you would have been here celebrating with me. Granny is selling the house, apartment, and the lot next door and i'm starting to pack up stuff. i am still finding stuff of yours all over the place. a comb with your hair, food with your name on it, and cards that you had given me for my birthdays and christmas. it is so hard to leave this place. I feel that i am leaving you too. i'm scared that when i leave our apartment you won't be with me anymore. i miss you. Tuesday, December 6th 2005 - 11:34:24 AM

Ariel Ferchaud [e] My name is Ariel Ferchaud, I am from Vacherie and I graduated from high school with Kirby. I am so sorry about her passing, but I know that now she is not suffering. I only recently found out about this webpage for her and I think that it is a wonderful concept. I did not find out about the funeral until after it happened, but I would have come. Kirby was a wonderful and caring person, and although we were not very close, I am happy to have known her. Take care and God bless your family, Ariel Monday, October 24th 2005 - 04:42:59 PM

Mary Babin [e] Kirby, I am sorry I did not come and pay my respects. I thought about you every minute. To come or not to come. There was no way I could have kept it together in front of everyone. Your personality and your strength just so many things about you remind me to much of Riki. I am so glad I had the pleasure to meet you and your mom. The email converstions we had. You were a really good friend to me when I lost my best one. I could not relive it again. Mrs. Sheila and Buddy are the two strongest people I know. God will have mercy on each and everyone that is mouring for you. Please tell my best friend hello and I miss her everyday. I can just see the two of you now up there talking and laughing. God sure takes the best first. You will never be forgotten! Mrs Natlie, Mr.Donald and Kerry, Kirby has touched alot of lives and will continue to do so through the love and memories she has left here. Kirby was a beautiful young woman inside and out. I am very sorry for your loss. May God be with you through all of your days. Friends Forever Never Forgotten! Mary Babin Monday, September 12th 2005 - 12:09:39 PM

Joslynn [e] To Kirby's family and friends, I did not know Kirby but came across her website one day and could not go one day without checking in on her. I was really hoping she was going to win this battle in fact I just knew she was on her way up. When I went to Riki Jo's website earlier this week and saw that she had passed way my heart throbbed for everyone in her life. I felt like I knew her. Kirby is such a beautiful person and seems to come from the most loving family. I pray for peace in each and everyone of you. Just know that she is in a better place now and does not have to suffer anymore. Thursday, September 8th 2005 - 11:50:14 AM

Sheri Schexnayder [e] Kirby, I am so proud of you and the courage and strength you have portrayed during your battle with AML Leukemia. I was hoping and praying so hard that YOU would be the one to beat this vicious disease. I know that if it were up to you, that you would have. You didn't lose the battle for lack of fight, that's for sure. I still struggle with the "why" every day. Why Riki Jo? Why Ed? Why Britnee? Why you? But I also realize that we just have to trust in God's plan, as hard as that is, especially when His plan doesn't seem to coincide with our own. I already miss looking forward to meeting you in person, but I know someday we'll meet in Heaven. Please give my brother a hug for me and tell Riki hello. Love your friend, Sheri Thursday, September 8th 2005 - 12:09:37 AM

Mindy Boudreaux I was in tears Sunday when I found out Kirby passed away. She seemed like she was fighting so hard. I thought for sure she was going to beat this. Thank you Buddy for keeping the updates on Kirby, I felt like I knew her. To the family, you all will be in my thoughts and prayers forever. Wednesday, September 7th 2005 - 03:54:38 PM

Sheila Bentley [e] [h] Kirby my dearest angel, When you walked into our lives I never dreamed you'd leave so soon. If any one had a chance of beating this, I thought it was you. You looked so beautiful Friday when I went to see you. Thank you for taking time to sign Riki Jo's book of Friends. I know Rylee will one day chairest all the wonderful memories that her Mothers friends wrote in it. Donald, Natalie and Kerry, I know how your feeling right now. Wish I could take the pain from you. If you need anything or just a shoulder to cry on, please call me. Buddy and I or here for you. All our love and prayers go out to you. Sheila Wednesday, September 7th 2005 - 11:05:45 AM

Caroline Henauw [e] With this, I want to offer you my sincerest condolences on your loss. It is hard to fathom that Kirby isn’t among us anymore, but I know that she is in spirit. I feel privileged to have had her as my friend and roommate for nearly two years. She taught me a great deal, more than she probably realized, for which I am grateful, and I shall truly miss the laughter and the many conversations that we had. Mr. Donald, Ms. Natalie, and Kerry, my heart goes out to you. "Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening. No matter how hard death tries, it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death." My family in Belgium also sends their condolences. Caroline Tuesday, September 6th 2005 - 10:43:07 PM

Cathy Schaff [e] Dear Kirby, Beautiful Angel, I am sorry for the suffering you had to endure here on earth, but now you are with Jesus and do not have to feel any more pain. Please pray for all of us esp. for your mom , dad and Kerry. God sometimes chooses pure, delicate souls to enter heaven to join the prayers of the saints and angels to pray for the suffering and grieving souls on earth. He knew how sweet and sincere you were and wanted your company in heaven. Dearest Kirby, say hello to Uncle Ray for me when you get to heaven. We will miss you. Sincerely, Cathy Schaff Tuesday, September 6th 2005 - 09:05:43 PM

Cathy Schaff [e] Dear Kirby, Beautiful Angel, I am sorry for the suffering you had to endure while you were here, but now you are with Jesus and will have no more pain. Please pray for us all who are still on earth. Pray especially for your mom, dad and Kerry. God chooses delicate, pure souls like yours to leave this world and enter heaven so that your prayers can be joined with the saints and be heard on our behalf. When you enter heaven, please tell Uncle Ray hello for me. We will miss you, Precious Girl! Sincerely, Cathy Schaff Tuesday, September 6th 2005 - 08:58:42 PM

Mandy Keown Hey Kirby, I wanted to write yesterday but didn't have the words. I don't think I have them now either but I don't want to put this off. It's hard to believe that you are gone. I know it must be even harder for your family. You are a very special person and I am fortunate to have known you. I hope your family can have peace with you leaving. Your body may be gone but your spirit and memories will live forever. I will miss you. Mandy Monday, September 5th 2005 - 07:08:41 PM

Virginia Vaughn [e] I never knew Kirby personally, but I send my sincerest condolences to her entire family on her recent passing. Hurricane Katrina has taken so many lives, but Kirby should not have been one of them! You were blessed to have such a beautiful, sweet person in your lives. She is now an angel watching over each of you. Her love for all of you carries on. I am an ovarian cancer survivor. Cancer Sucks! God bless all of you and carry you through this tremendous loss. Ginny Monday, September 5th 2005 - 09:17:51 AM

Lacie Davis Dear Kirby, I didn't get to meet you but I heard so many wonderful things about you from Riki and her family. I'm so sorry you had to suffer from this horrible and agonizing disease. I know you are rejoicing in heaven with our wonderful Lord and Savior. You will be greatly missed by your family and friends. I just wish I could have met you. Please watch over us all and help bring comfort to your friends and family. May God bless you always. Give Riki a kiss for me. Sunday, September 4th 2005 - 09:28:16 PM

Erin Graugnard [e] Kirb- I got up this morning, went to mass, and prayed the entire time for you. I prayed that the Lord and His angels be with you and guide you home - whether it be to your earthly home in Convent or your home in heaven with Him. I prayed that whatever happened, that your family and friends could accept that it was His will. Little did I know that you had already passed away just minutes before I said this prayer. You truly were a special person. I have thought about so many times we had together over the past ten years. I still don't understand or want to accept this now, but I do know that I will always miss you and love you. ~Erin Sunday, September 4th 2005 - 08:50:07 PM

Trish McDaniel [e] Donald, Natalie and Kerry, I have never had the opportunity to meet you in person. I know that you are wonderful people. I could feel your spirit in your messages. I can only imagine what you are going through at this time of loss. Kirby was born 3 months earlier than my youngest son. I will continue to pray for all of you. Remember at least that she is no longer suffering and is in a wonderful place now. No more pain or tears for her. May God Bless you with HIS GRACE and see you through this. You have my email address if there is ever ANYTHING I can do or you just need a sounding board, know that I am here. Remember too that she touched many lives of people she never even met. I am so thankful my son had the opportunity to meet her. I know she will be sadly missed. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. Trish Sunday, September 4th 2005 - 05:16:02 PM

Leigha Menefee [e] Kirby, I count myself so fortunate to have known you. I feel blessed that I was able to tell you goodbye. You will always be in my heart and in my memories. I will miss your stories, your getting excited and talking a mile a minute, your laugh, your smile and your heart. I know you are at peace now and feeling no more pain. But I selfishly wish you were here. Laughing and smiling. To Natalie, Donald, and Kerry; I can't even begin to imagine the pain you feel now. And everything you went through with the Hurricane. I hope you find peace in your memories. And want to thank you for bringing this beautiful women into all of our lives. She will be missed for a thousand lifetimes. I love you Kirby. Leigha Sunday, September 4th 2005 - 04:47:29 PM

Sheri Schexnayder [e] Hawthorne Family, I am so sorry to hear about Kirby's passing. I'm really at a loss as to what to say. You'd think I'd be a pro at it now, having gone through this myself 4 months ago with my brother. I regret that I never got to meet Kirby face to face. My heart aches for you and for the loss of your sweet angel. I prayed so much and worried so much about her, especially in the midst of this hurricane and the aftermath. The only consolation is that she is no longer suffering. What a fighter she was!!! Please let me know if I can do anything for you all. Love you, Kirby! Your friend always, Sheri Sunday, September 4th 2005 - 04:01:26 PM

Jace' Babin [e] To the family and friends of Kirby........my heart is aching for you. I never met Kirby face to face, but I developed a relationship with her by communicating via email after my friend Riki passed away. We spoke frequently. I gathered just from our conversations that she was a wonderful young lady . I know that she will be missed dearly. I will be praying for all of you in your time of need. Sending my love, Jacé Babin St. Amant, LA Sunday, September 4th 2005 - 03:33:25 PM

You've been a wonderful friend, and we had many great times together. I think more than anything, I'm going to miss hearing your laugh. There's one picture on this site that I look at and can just hear you laughing. As bad as I'm hurting right now, I know that you are at least not suffering anymore. I know this whole ordeal has been hard on you, and now you can finally be at peace. I will always love and miss you. Sunday, September 4th 2005 - 10:28:42 AM

I wish there was something that we could do to take the pain away. Please know that you are not alone in this battle. Most importantly God is with you, but so is your loving family and friends.

Leah Schexnayder Medine [e] Hi Kirby - I just wanted to know that I'm thinking of you and you are in my prayers. Hang in there - I know it's hard as I've seen what Ed went through in his treatment and transplant. I have the utmost respect and am in awe of your bravery - it still amazes me what the body is put through in the transplant process – most people have no clue – but I’ve been there and seen and it’s not easy. It’s so hard for your family and loved ones not to be able to take some of the pain away. I know this because I would have gladly done it for my brother. It’s a reminder to us that we have to place our trust in God and he will take care of everything. Try to stay positive and know that there are many people in the fight with you – you are not alone. Leah Schexnayder Medine Monday, August 15th 2005 - 08:42:51 AM

Scott McDaniel [e] Hey Kirby, It's Scott from the Lake. I was the very first one who came in to stick you with all those needles when you first got there...remember me yet? Yeah, I'm sure you still love me for that. I just wanted to say that I haven't forgotten about you and you're in my prayers all the time. I try to keep up with everything as much as I can from my mom (Trish) as well as Jamie and Kelly from work in between work, school and all. Take care of yourself and I know God will do the same. Meeting you was one of the most enjoyable and impacting experiences I've ever had. You truly are someone special and God has special plans for you...plans that He can't give to just anyone. You will stay in my prayers and I wish you all the best. Scott McDaniel Phlebotomist - OLOL Saturday, August 13th 2005 - 11:53:54 AM

Catherine Bonet [e] Hello Kirby, My name is Catherine and I was told about this site by Tiffany Cavell(I don't know if you know her). I just wanted to let you know that even though I don't know you personally I will still keep you in my prayers. My 20 year old niece was just recently diagnosed with Lymphoma.

Sheila Bentley [e] Ok Kirby, How is it going? You have been on my mind a lot lately. I am waiting for you to give the green light for me to visit. Tell Mom hello for me. Every time I go shopping I look at purses and think about which one you would like. Haha! As soon as your out, we will plan a date to go shopping. That was Riki's favorite thing to do as you know. Missing your sweet smile. Love, Mrs. Sheila Tuesday, August 2nd 2005 - 09:55:36 AM
