I'm so sorry for what you're having to go through. Simon and Ramona are both beautiful children and I hope they'll get to grow up together - I know that they have the most loving family possible. - Erika (your stepsister by marriage?!?)

Incidentally, Shannon Marion is my interim supervisor. Not quite the college roommate's cousin's hairdresser, but it's got to be close... :). So I've been praying, and so have a few of the prayer warriors at St. T who know your mom.

I was the friend who did her hair. I've heard about your goings-on from Ann and Deborah since then and have been praying for your family since I heard the news. God is granting you the opportunity to grow in the depth of His love and the wisdom that comes with it. He loves you and see you all the time. Love, Jo Hi Jane and Andy,

John shared Ramona's birth with me and then told me about Ramona's health when she first entered the hospital. You've all been in my prayers and those of my family since mid February. Also, your updates are so heartfelt and honest. I'm certain you are an inspiration to others out there with similar issues. Thank you for sharing. Ramona is truly a darling child and has already touched the hearts of so many. The Lord's blessings, love and peace to your family ~ Debbie Greetings,

I have been following along and praying for you and your family. Your children are beautiful and I just wish I could hold that sweet baby girl.

You have an amazing community of friends and family. It is definitely a reflection on the type of quality people you are. :) I have also been struck by your incredible insight during this stressful time and your ability to be frank and honest with yourself and others. Oh, and not to mention you manage to keep your wit and humor and crack me up! What amazing people the Dietrichs are! We are so lucky to be your neighbors and friends. Hi Jane & Andy:
