My daughter will be 12 this month. I cannot even imagine what you must be feeling. This latest news must be extremely disappointing. But obviously, you're doing the right things by being with her and the rest of your family. I will, of course, be hoping that the next round of tests yields results that are more encouraging.

On May 30th she started chemo again and will receive treatments for 5 straight days.We will have the same test run again to see if the chemo has effected the tumors any,the 1st time it did not. We are hoping and praying that it has stopped the cancer .

Oh, dear, this is just awful. Please, please know that your whole family is much in my prayers, and will continue to be so, and I am praying that there is a good chaplain or counselor at your hospital that is supporting you through this very difficult situation.

I can't imagine how you must be feeling, or her, but please know that you have been and will continue to be in my prayers. I wish I had a magic word to make it better but no such words exist. I am sure that there are plenty of people around you who would love to help you and support you all. I hope you will let them. Please, keep us posted on her condition. RR

I'm sorry to hear that Kassidy is still having trouble with the cancer. I know that the loss of a limb can be devastating to anyone, let alone a young girl with a gymnastics background. My prayers are with her. Please tell Kassidy that she doesn't need to wear the baseball cap as she is a beautiful little girl.

I know that you have placed your faith in God's plan. Although we don't always understand why He has placed such a burden on a little one's shoulders, Kassidy's brave fight is touching the lives of many people who have never met her. I'm sure that Dominique Dawes will remember her visit with Kassidy as fondly as Kassidy does herself.

Please let Kassidy know that we are all pulling for her to get better real soon.

It's not right to shed tears in front of everyone in the office. Very touching. I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how your family feels. Best wishes.

It was a punch in the stomach to read the news this morning. I know that words cannot express comfort, but the Lord has sent the Comforter and I know that He is with you in your sorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I told my wife; she cried and we both hugged our own little girl that much harder. I hope that the many messages that were left on Kassidy's Page (and I left a couple) were of some comfort to her through her illness.

Your entire family is my thoughts tonight.
