Look at the outpours of love and support you have on this blog, the cards that are overflowing out of your room, the pretty pictures the kids have sent you (so many that nurses ask if you're a teacher!), and all the flowers that have come and gone. You are so loved.
And look at what you've been through this past month. More than many will ever endure in a lifetime. Your surgeon said you're tougher than most he's seen when faced with the challenges you were given. You are so strong.
And look at your smile. Not one of us can imagine or know how weak and sick you must feel but even on your "bad days" you still give us that smile that we all know and love. Or you point with that finger that we all know well when you're trying to tell us something. Or you roll those big brown eyes at us. You are so beautiful.
You have taught me so much in life, wisdom that I'll always carry and pass on to others. You have always, always been by my side. You are my best friend.
And now you are tired and sick. And it's ok if you want to rest your eyes, I'll be there when you open them. You deserve peace and comfort and I promise I'll give that to you in spades, however I can, just as you would do for me. I'll always be with you.
Just always remember--you are my #1 and you will always be my hero.
I love you, mommy.
Your daughter

You speak beautiful truths about your Mom. She is an amazing woman, even in her toughest hour. You are too, my friend. You have been blessed with her beautiful qualities. What a gift to have a confidant and best friend that is also your Mom. She is and always has been a one of kind. Be by her side and know she loves you immensely. xoxoxoxo Johanna
Dear Jen, You are truly an amazing young woman. Strong and wise beyond your years. You are everyone's hero right now: caring so carefully for my friend, Kate, Protecting her and making sure she is getting her rest, and keeping all of us informed. Your kindness and love touch each and every one of us. God has certainly blessed Kate with a wonderful daughter. What an amazing family! You have her courage and strength. Our daily prayers are with you. Hugs and kisses to Kate.

Jen,
God has blessed you with a beautiful heart like your mom. I know Kate is so proud to have you for her daughter. You are such a gift to her. You speak such beautiful loving truths from your heart. Please give Kate a hug from me. Maggie
Ostrich Family, How lucky we have all been to know Kate, the Hot Bird. She is loved by so many. John and I are thinking of you at this difficult time. Al, we want you to know that if there is anything we can do don't hesitate to let us know. Jen, you will always have the Plumb family as support and know how very much you are loved. Kate, keep your head up high and know that your fighting spirit has touched us all. You have a wonderful family behind you, who love you so much, which is evident by this blog. You are in my prayers.
Love Nickie and John Plumb
