Dear Teresa,

I have faithfully been reading the emails on your son and praying on my knees. I
haven't written anything because of my fear that I could be in your shoes. I am
the mother of a ten year old girl who was diagnosed with Ewings Stage 4 in 2002.
We have been in remission for a year. We pray for a cure everynight and pray
that nobody else goes through this or is diagnosed with this vicious disease. My
daughter says their our angels and they are the ones who have given her
strength. May God use your son in heaven to be an angel to a child who goes
through this like ours. I am so sorry for your loss and pray for you and your
family during this time.
