My heart breaks for you and words can't express my condolences enough! I lost my son, Patrick, to radiation complications for a brain tumor (Medulloblastoma) at the age of 3 1/2 years. He fought bravely and courageously for 6 months. He also has a brother, Cory, who also knows the inside of a hospital all too well due to Hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and 62 shunt revisions in 9 years of his life. He also has mental impairment and development delays. Cory's site is reachable from Patrick's site or www.geocities.com/moms121angel/corysindex. Janet

Lacey Monday, May 27th 2002 - 05:33:24 AM lacey_kin@hotmail.com I can't even tellyou with words how sorry I am for your loss. Please don't feel like you have to hide anything from people, If they have some kind of problem with it, it's just that...their problem. I stumbled upon your web-site looking for an MP3 of the song I will, when I found this site and realized that the beautiful voice singing the words was not that of James Taylor, I was intriqued, but then when I realized what it was , I burst into tears. But the song that I was looking for, right before that one was a song Called Mary Ellen Carter, I think that your family might benifit even if just slightly from hearing it. http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/mary-ellen-carter.html this website will take you to a place that you can download it from. Please accept this as my donation, as I have no money to give, and I am sorry about that, but also know that I really am deeply saddend by your loss and will pray for you, I know that there is no way for you to get over this tradgedy, but perhaps I can pray for you to find some kind of closure. Love And Prayers, Lacey Kinsey

Patricia & Allen Black Wednesday, May 15th 2002 - 03:00:50 PM pebltn@aol.com Our hearts broke and we were in tears after reading your story on May 12. It is so overwhelming and we wish so much that there was something we, even as strangers, could do, even though it can never be "fixed". Parker was truly blessed with a wonderful mom and dad. Mara is still a mother, always will be. Give each other a big hug from another mom and dad in Littleton. We wish you bright days that will continue to help heal but of course never forget. Sincerely, Patricia & Allen Black

I just wanted to tell you how terribly sorry I am for your loss - but sometimes "sorry" just isn't big enough. I have no idea who you are - but your story had me sobbing because I can tell how much pain is still there. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you can find a small amount of solace from your loving memories and from the warm thoughts of strangers (like me). In angel love, Julie

S. Margherone Monday, May 13th 2002 - 03:58:03 PM margherone@juno.com Your website is very moving. It made me realize even more how lucky I am that our children are alive and well.

I'm comfident that you will see her again someday. She's not that far away.

karen Monday, May 13th 2002 - 09:57:51 AM kmontreal@kesslercompanies.com Jon & Mara I saw your article in the paper yesterday and it made me cry as I have constantly remembered your little girl and her sweet life. My 4 year old asked me why I was crying and I showed him the photos in the paper and explained how lucky I was to be able to hold him. He asked if we could go see "her" (Mara) as he wanted to give her a hug! We said a prayer for you and Parker and hope you are being comforted. I saw this poem and thought Mara might enjoy it. God bless. "Dandelions From Heaven." Mothers Day is coming...and I wanted to send you a sign... Something you can tell others..."Is from an angel of mine". So I searched the Heavens high and low for that perfect thing.. And low and behold I found it....and a smile I hope it will bring. So when you look to the Heavens...and see the yellow stars in the sky... Just think of me...your angel... in the Heavens way up high... And just imagine those stars...are dandelions up above... Yes! Dandelions are also in Heaven...,which you know how much I love. So on this Mothers Day... when you awake and feel blue... You will notice those yellow stars...are no longer in view... So just look to the meadows and the dandelions you see.... Are the ones I've tossed down this Mothers Day from me! And when you find a dandelion that has turned from yellow to white... You're supposed to make a wish...and then blow with all your might. For you will be blowing kisses... to me in Heaven above.... And I will be catching them and blowing them back...sent with all my love. Please know that I am with you...on this Mothers Day... And also in the days ahead...God and I will never stray... We will be with you in the morning...when you wake and see the sun.. We will be with you when you say your prayers...when the day is done. For God and I will never be...very far from your side... For I can now be everywhere...and God will be your guide... So...remember when you see dandelions...its your guarantee... That I am alway close to you.... For dandelions are free to roam.....now just like me. I will always be with you Mom.... Happy Mothers Day Love, Your Angel in Heaven.

Amy Maron-Martinez Monday, May 13th 2002 - 02:59:42 AM amaromartinez@hotmail.com I read your article in "The Denver Post" on Mother's Day. Your daughter and your family have touched me deeply. I can only say "I am so deeply sorry for your loss." As a mother, my heart aches and I wept for you and your wife. I pray that the Lord gives you and your wife the courage to carry on. Parker was an absolutely beautiful girl, and she was so very lucky to have such loving, parents. My prayers are with you and your wife, that your pain will someday ease.

Suzi Gillen Sunday, May 12th 2002 - 02:09:17 PM glln@aol.com Dear Jon and Mara, I just finished reading Jon's article on Parker in today's Denver Post. What a beautiful and moving aritcle. I was in tears by the end. Mara, to you I want to wish Happy Mother's Day. Yes, it is still Mother's Day for you. You gave birth to a beautiful daughter and whether or not you choose to answer the "Do you have children?" question in your heart you know that answer. Yes, you do have a child and sadly you had to bury her but you are a mother. The best kind of mom. The kind of mom that Parker would have been proud to have had. I wish a I could give you both a huge hug. Hang on to those precious memories of your daughter. God Bless you all. Suzi Gillen

Colin Wensley Monday, May 6th 2002 - 03:35:28 AM c2wensley@sk.sympatico.ca I just happened across your website through the Independence Institute and saw your precious daughter. Thank-you for sharing your story. I just had to write something to let you know that you are not alone in your grief and loss. My daughter, Breanna Marie, died at the age of 17 months on August 16, 2000. She was, and is, our only child. She was our everything. It just seems impossible to understand the reasons why such horrible things happen to those so young, innocent and tender. If you're like me, it's a struggle each day to find hope and to try and keep that tenuous balance between the wonderful memories of the past and the awful longing of the present. I have not yet found this balance, my prayer is that you and your wife and families find it. If I may suggest help, there is an organization for parents who've lost children. It's called 'The Compassionate Friends' - there may be a chapter in your area. A book which has helped me a bit is 'My Companion Through Grief' by Gary Kinnaman. My deepest condolences and sincerest prayers. God bless. Please feel free to contact me if I can help in any way. Colin & Corinne Wensley Regina, Canada

Joseph's Journey Tuesday, February 5th 2002 - 06:44:11 PM Josephsjourney@aol.com http://www.josephsjourney.org We met Paul Caldara at the Denver Sportsman's show in Jan. He told us about the loss of his niece Parker and sent us an email today along with her web site. She is a beautiful child and you will miss her always. I don't believe the pain eases over time, you will eventually learn how to manage it though and not a day will go by when you won't think about your precious Parker. We lost our son Joseph about 2 years ago at the age of 14 after a battle with Leukemia. We have started an organization called Joseph's Journey to help other children with terminal and life-threatening illnesses in his memory. This helps keep us going. Our hearts go out to you, we know first hand the heartache and the great loss you are experiencing. May you always have wonderful thoughts of Parker. The Steuarts

Although we don't know each other, I couldn't help but notice your beautiful child. As someone who is currently engaged, I hope that God blesses me in the future with a fraction of the love and beauty that Parker was able to give to you. While I felt great sadness in reading about her passing, I cannot begin to imagine how it must feel for you personally. Hopefully these few words will help ease your pain- my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Scott Gammon Tallahassee, FL

While I didn't expect you on the air this morning, I was suprised to hear your voice today (12-13-01) filling in for Mike Rosen. While it is important to get back to work at times like these. You shouldn't hurry if you don't have to. Be there for your wife. And she will be there for you. We (the listeners) will be graciously patient. Take care and God bless.

karen Wednesday, December 12th 2001 - 02:15:36 PM kmontreal@kesslercompanies.com I heard this song on Ally McBeal the other nite and cried listening to this guy's voice (Josh Groban) and the words to the song. They made me think of Parker. Perhaps her family can get some comfort from them. "To Where You Are” Who can say for certain Maybe you’re still here I feel you all around me Your memory’s so clear. Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak You’re still an inspiration Can it be… That you are mine Forever, love And you are watching over me From up above. Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star. I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for a while To know you’re there. A breath away is not far To where you are. Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream? And isn’t faith believing All power can’t be seen? As my heart holds you Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me Everyday… Cause you are mine Forever, love Watching me From up above And I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on And never leave. Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for a while To know you’re there A breath away is not far To where you are. I know you’re there… A breath away is not far To where you are.
