Dear Jona,

Hope you are doing great.  Grandma is praying very hard for you and so are all my friends.

Honey, I am not quite sure just how to add your web site to my computer, but I am working on it, as I have an old computer (just like grandma) but I just wanted to let you know how very very proud grandma is of you.  First, by being such a trooper thru all you just went thru in the hospital and being such a good girl.  I told all my friends about your web site and all the good things you and mom have got started.  Daddy must be so very proud of you both.  You are one terrific young girl.  I brag about you and Megan all the time because you both are the very best granddauhters a grandma could ever want. Grandma is getting ready now to go bowling, sure hope I can bowl good- I'll try.  You,Megan and Mom have a super day together and PLEASE keep getting well again OK.

God Bless you all and remember-

          I LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH AND MISS YOU

Dear Jona,
    I'm so blessed to have you as my little cousin. I love you and Meg very much. You've been in my prayers through the past couple years and I just want to let you know how proud I am of you. You've been through so much and in all of your pictures all I can see is a SMILE! You're are one of the most giggly, energetic, cute, fun, and sweet little girl ever. I love you very much Jona, and don't you ever forget it. I'm looking very forward to living in Texas with Aunt Denise and Uncle Norb, so now I can come visit you all the time. And we can have sleepovers, and watch movies, and eat popcorn, and stay up real late (if your mommy lets us). But for now I have to go, but I love you and I hope that you are still smiling. I send my love...

Your Cousin-

Jona,
  You are such a brave little girl,  I don't think I could be as courageous.  You always have a smile on your face no matter how much pain you may be feeling.  I hope I can be of some benefit in helping to find a cure for this awful disease.  With hard work and a lot of prayers, our dream may come true in a couple of years.  I am proud to be your grandmother and I love you too too much.

Hi Jona,

I am the mother of a little girl with jdms. Well, she isn't so little, she is 18.  But she is still my little girl.
Good luck to you.

Jona,

I am one of your mommy's friends from high school and I just wanted to let you know how beautiful and brave I think you are. Your story is so inspiring and I will be sure to spread the word so that doctors can find a cure for your disease. I pray that will happen someday soon. Just keep smiling and remember that you are a very special little girl and that people everywhere are touched by your story. Tell Mommy I said "hello" and give Megan a great big hug for me.

Your friend,
Amy Waller  :-)

Hi Jona! I am very grateful to have met your Mommy, she is a wonderful person. You are such a beautiful little girl and have a beautiful family! I can just tell that you fill their lives with love and happiness. You are an amazing little girl, full of courage and strength. One day this will all be a distant memory! My 2 yr. old daughter is going through this also and even though she doesn't understand it now, you will be a bing inspiration to her. Maybe one day you guys will be friends through email. Keep
up the good work! You are in our thoughts and prayers always!
