TO MY DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. SOME OF YOU KNOW THAT I WAS 99% DIAGNOSED WITH OVARIAN CANCER 2 DAYS AGO AND THE PEOPLE WHO DONT, I AM SO SORRY YOU ARE HEARING ABOUT IT THIS WAY, YOU ARE SPECIAL TO ME BUT THIS HAS BEEN VERY OVERWHELMING TO ME. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING SO MANY EMOTIONS FROM DISBELIEF TO TOTAL HOPELESSNESS TO THE FEELING I HAVE NOW, STRENGH AND PEACE AND A KNOWING THAT I AM IN GODS HANDS NOW. I ASKED MY MOTHER THE OTHER DAY WHILE I WAS TAKING A SHOWER IF I HAD CANCER. UNFORTUNATELY SHE SAID YES. SHE ALSO SAID THAT IT WOULD BE A TOUGH ROAD SWEETIE BUT YOU WILL NOT DIE FROM THIS. I AM GOING TO HOLD ON TO THIS AND TO THE LOVE FROM ALL OF YOU. I KNOW THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHAT TO DO OR SAY IN TIMES LIKE THESE BUT PLEASE FOLLOW YOUR HEART. IF YOU WANT TO CALL, COME OVER, PLAY GAMES, MAKE ME DINNER, HOLD ME, CRY WITH ME OR PRAY FOR ME I WILL CHERISH IT ALL.WE DO NOT NEED OUR PRIVACY AND IF WE DO WE WILL TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. WE NEED TO BE WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, IT HELPS SO MUCH. PLEASE CHECK IN WITH DON, THIS IS SO INCREDABLY DIFFICULT FOR HIM AND MY CHILDREN. IM SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM AND ALL OF YOU. I LOVE YOU, DEB

Hey Deb...Thinking of you today...you are a strong lady and this is just a bump in the road...I know how I felt going through my bump, this will pass and you will be stronger, believe me! You are a great lady and these kind of set backs tend to lead to great things in our souls, and in our journey through life.
We love you,
Skip and Kate
Deb, just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you. You are in my prayers. Although I may not know you as closely as others, I still think you are an amazing woman and I do care and love you very much! I know how lucky Justin is to have you as a mother and I just hope someday I can take those great qualities you have that I have seen and put them into raising my own.
Remember....
Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.....
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination full of hope. WE all love you so much and know we are here to jump hurdles with you, leap fences with you and penetrate walls with you. You are not alone.
I will be here waiting to see you when you get back. Let me know if there is anything you need.
Love, Holly
