Hi!

My name is Meg, I'm 17 and a senior in high school. I found Janie's website a little over a year ago although I don't think I've ever signed before. She seems like such a beautiful little girl and you must miss her so much! One of my close friends died from ALL 4 years ago. I started a fundraising project in her memory to support childhood cancer research so that hopefully in the future such tragic deaths can be prevented. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I've been touched by your story and that your daughter continues to inspire people! She is one of the reasons I am active in the childhood cancer cause.

Happy Birthday Janie! Hope you are having a great one in heaven! :)

I am thinking of your family today!

Sincerely,
Meg

Oh Janet....I had to visit Janie's site today. I came across a quote and instantly Janie popped into my brain. "Each child has one extra line to your heart, which no other child can replace." I know that each of your children are special to you and Dan, and I know that Janie will always hold onto her extra line--no matter how many years pass. Thinking of you all today and always.

Hello Sims family! I pray that all is well with you all. We are doing well. We have a leaky roof right where the Christmas tree needs to go and it really has me down. However, I have had to step back, take a deep breath and look around at the blessings God has given me. That helps me to "let it go" and realize that where or even if the tree goes up is not that big of a deal! I pray that you are all well and I hope that we get to see all of you at the camp party next weekend.

I magically came across this page again. Its been so long since I've been here. You still amaze me with your journal entries, Ms. Janet. I miss you dearly Janie. I just keep thinking about the short 2? years I knew you. I don't remeber much from when I was little, but alot of my memories have you in them. I miss you sweet girl and I wish you were still here today. I just can't believe it was almost 6 years ago! Wow. Okay well you keep doing your job up there in heaven and I can't wait to go up there and be with you!
Miss you forever.

i was just "googling" my son's name (Connor Stokes), and found one of the links it provided was your daughter Janie's Caringbridge website. First of all, I am terribly sorry for your loss. Secondly, I want to thank you, after all of these years, for listing on your March 3, 2004 blog to pray for our family regarding the loss of our son from leukemia. Although I didn't know about it until tonight, it still helps bring comfort knowing that "strangers" were praying for Connor and our family during our time of need. Parents should never have to bury their children! I clipped a paragraph from a newspaper article that was talking about parents who lose children. It was in the paper a week after we lost Connor, and I have carried it in my wallet ever since. It says, "It has been said that a child who loses a parent is an orphan, a man who loses his wife is a widower, a woman who loses her husband is a widow. There is no name for a parent who loses a child, for there are no words to describe this pain".
Thank you once again. I know your journey without Janie is difficult. Hang in there! I will keep Janie and your family in my prayers.

Dear Sims family,
I know you don't know us that well, but we have been keeping up with you for a long time now. I read this today and immediatly thought of Janie. I struggle too with the why's.... it just seems so unfair. The only thing that I know I can do is pray for you to find some way to deal with the loss of your precious daughter. I don't think there is a way to deal with it other than like you said just to bury it deep inside yourself. We are sending our love and prayers, Dixie Phillips and family

Monarch Butterfly: Believe & Achieve

Each fall, Monarch butterflies in Maine begin an unbelievable journey to a hilltop in Mexico. How do they do it? They focus on the goal, not the difficulties. Each day they take their bearings and set off, allowing their instincts and desire to steer them. They accept what comes: some winds blow them off course, others speed them along. They keep flying until, one day, they arrive. Their determination makes the difference.

The first time I read this... I thought about all of these kids that put up such a strong fight for their life...... then I thought about our Angel friends.... they fought with the same determination and they arrived....... at a much greater destination than we could ever imagine.

Hi Janet. I come by sometimes to just look at that beautiful face of Janie's and wantd to kick myself for not remembering her Angelversary. Five years! Meghan's is coming up on February 7th... Five years! Tomorrow night my son will be starting children's grief counseling. Five years later!?! He has been expressing his anger over Meghan's death alot recently and has asked to talk to someone about it. They told me its not uncommon for the kids to need it this far out, so here we go. Anyway, I just wanted to say your journal entry touched my heart and I couldn't have expressed it better because I feel the exact same way..... Anyway, you take care.

Without personally having met neither you nor Jane, I can still be sure that among all that you miss about her, you miss most her kindness, compassion and love. There is something so special about these children. . . As the anniversary of Jane's Homegoing approaches, we pray our Lord will abundantly bless you with His comfort and peace. We know your pain and we thank God we are able to share not only your grief but also His faithful and precious promise of Heaven.

I happened upon some old emails from my friend, Mollie Batley. I don't know you or your family, but I remember praying so intently as Mollie has asked for months for Janie. I glanced at your guestbook, and saw Mollie recently visited and wanted to say you and your family are still in our prayers. And Janie is not forgotten. I was influenced by Mollie to make a difference in leukemia. I completed a marathon at Disney 1 year ago. I know, you, too, have made a tremendous difference... and probably touched many that you will never know. Janie is with you... she loves you, and her family. Thinking of you! Marcella

It has been years since I last read about your Janie, or visited caringbridge. It's rare for me to use the computer for anything other than work. I don't even remember how I came to know about her, or this website. For some reason her name and beautiful memory came to my mind today. Just to let you know that she is not forgotten, even by someone like me who never even met her. Why did the Lord place her precious life on my heart and mind today? She continues to make a difference. Blessings to your family.

Shelby has been asking about Janie over the last few days and I was amazed that she was thinking of Janie around her angelversary...we don't usually talk about our friends that have passed away of the disease we were able to beat. It doesn't seem fair...it never will be fair. We ALL think of you often and our family continues to run and raise money for all of our little people. May there one day be a day when leukemia is no more. We love you all! Best wishes from Florida.

I just happened upon your guestbook. What a beautiful, sweet little girl your Janie was. Who would have ever dreamed that cancer would take her away? She looks so much like a little girl I keep in the nursery.

I know how your heart aches. Our son Jason passed away on his dad's birthday on August 25, 2005. I didn't know it, but, soon after Jason was gone David told our Sunday school teacher's wife that Jason's death that day was a gift to him from God--so that Jason would no longer be suffering. A good attitude, but it is so hard--the ache and longing to see Jason again never end. His cancer was rhabdomyosarcoma.

Hi friends. Just a note to let you know that we still think of you and Janie all of the time, especially this time of year. I think about you at Christmas because I remember running into Dan at WalMart a few days before Christmas. We were so excited to see him out & knew that his time was precious, I wanted to push everyone aside & yell - "Let Him Through! He's got important gifts to buy!". I think about you during the big blood drive every year because I was on the table giving blood praying it would help Janie when my cell phone rang. It was Linda telling us to pray because Janie had taken a turn for the worst. I cried the whole time they finished taking my donation. I think of her at Sarah Anne's birthdays. We had been to the church to say good bye to our precious friend on Sarah Anne's 5th birthday. Needless to say it was a very emotional birthday for us. I didn't understand it then & I don't understand it now.
But I am so thankful she was a part of our lives. We'll never forget her. I appreciate all you guys do for other families. You amaze me.
You're in our thoughts and prayers today & always!

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear,
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here,
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card,
A card of love for my parents, as this day for them is hard,
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you can imagine,
except I could not find a card, from a child that lives in heaven,
they are still a parent too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, they understand, but oh the tears they cried,
I thought that if I wrote to you, that you would come to know,
that though I live in heaven now, I still love my parents so,
they talk with me, and dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, would you see what you can do?
my parents carry me in their heart, their tears they hide from sight,
they plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
they writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease there pain as well,
so you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth,
they need to be honored, and be remembered too,
just as the children of the earth will do,
thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you will do your best,
find a way to tell them, how much they mean to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

I know Christmas must be so hard for you although I can't comprehend how difficult it must be.

All my love,

Viks

�I Remember�

I remember the day I gave birth to you
I remember the sweetness of a child so new

I remember our love and �special� talk
I remember your smile, your scent, your walk

I remember the days of watching you grow
I remember when I taught you to tie a bow

I remember all of the things that you held dear
Yes I remember those things so very clear

I try to remember why I had to set you free
But this one thing is so hard for me

Because deep within a Mother�s heart
Is a piece of her child with which she can�t part

I love you, I miss you, and I promise you this
Some day my sweet child we�ll again share a kiss.

Happy Father's Day Dan! I can't imagine the pain you felt today and Janet's pain watching you--trying to be happy and put a smile on for the other kids. I'm sure Janie was smiling down on your whole family today.

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven
By Jody Seilheimer

Dear Mr. Hallmark,

I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she�s cried.

I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you�ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I�ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.

I have a huge lump in my throat after reading your latest entry. Dark curly hair, big brown eyes, and dimples on the back of each shoulder describes my daughter. Janie would be nine. My "baby" is 19. I cannot image anything that would hurt more than losing a child. I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I know you must have many happy memories of her...may they give you peace.

Since I knew you from way back, and Janie and Ronnie are the same age, and had the same thing, I sympathize with so much. But of course, not the biggest thing of all - no one can imagine or try to put themselves in the shoes of a parent who has been forced to endure outliving a child, so I wont pretend to. Happy Birthday in Heaven Janie. Hugs and prayers to those she left behind.

Janet and Dan - I couldn't sleep last night and at about 2am - I realized today was the 19th. Janet, I remember long ago sitting in my kitchen getting haircuts and you describing each of your children to me. Janie was quiet and easy - The boys (then only toddlers) were another story!! :) It seems like just yesterday. We remember Janie today. It is so unfair. Sending our love and praying for comfort.

HAPPY BIRHTDAY, JANIE!
Janet, here it is 2:45 am and I cannot sleep. Just woke up and was thinking about you and your precious family. I remembered that Janie's birthday was coming up sometime soon so I got up to check her site. I can't begin to imagine the hurt you are feeling and the longing you have to hold Janie again. My heart hurts for you. I know that God is with you and will see you through today, tomorrow and days to come. I pray that you will feel his presence and loving arms around you and that you will find peace that only He can bring.

Thinking of you....remembering Janie

God's Peace!

May the Grass be soft as heather
as it sways beneath your feet
May smiles so bright and so cheerful
light up every face that you meet...

May your heart be ever hopeful,
and filled with glad songs to be sung,
And may the years always be kindly
to keep you forever young!

May the Luck of the Irish be with you...always, forever and a day!

Love,

Hi Janet. I found your page through my son's friend's page. I think it is great what you do with the plates. After browsing through the old journal entries and photos, I remember you having another site but I don't remember what the site address is anymore. I do remember seeing pics of you 'jogging for Janie' and a picture with you saying 'Janet with all of her children' in Destin, Fl. Also, there was a great one of Janie dressed as Snow White? I think for Halloween. It was a really nice website and I can't get over how precious Janie is in all these photos. What a darling girl. Anyway, I hope you and your family is doing well. Take Care
