Duane, Aunt Laura, Trevor & Rachel Name: Rosey Demers CommentsJune 6,2005 Dear Jennifer and Dave, after reading your story my heart and sympathy goes out to the two of you and your families, what a courageous battle you had to go thru. Abby was a special gift from God and you will be with her one day…..and Abby loved the balloons that you sent up to her…..I just wanted to let you know that we found the ribbon with the tag for Abby’s 2nd Birthday balloon was broken) in our parking lot in Oakville, Ontario today and I went on the website. Abby was a beautiful baby what a wonderful website thank you for sharing your story, I have 2 children , it was my son’s 15th birthday yesterday. May God Bless and watch over you and your families………. God Bless Rosey Demers Name: Pattie Pottruff CommentsI was so pleased to meet the two of you at the run. Sometimes it's hard to make a bear for a child that I don't know, but your web site allowed me to get to know Abby. I'm so glad you enjoyed the bear. I take to my four year old Granddaughter about your angel. Maybe one day she will want to help others as well. Much love Pattie Name: Jeff and Danna Dierckens CommentsThe website is a good way to honor the memory of Abby and to raise awareness of SMA. You sound like amazing people and Abby is blessed to have you as parents. Abby will watch over you and guide you through this next journey in your lives. Jeff would like to thank Dave for the support and time he spent listening to Jeff as our little boy spent time in the hospital. Danna and Jeff Name: elaine vanboxmeer CommentsMy children and I found one of the balloons in my parents front yard. I read your story and I know how hard it is to watch a child go through a terrible illness/disease. It is hard not to be able to help except to love and hope it gets better and easier. My youngest is in remission from leukemia and I hope he makes it, but I know whatever happens he will know he is loved. I know that Abigail Lynn is in heaven with lots of other kids to play with. My parents live in East London near the airport, I don't know how far the balloon traveled before bursting. Take care and enjoy the memories of your angel and know she is always in both of your hearts. e Name: Mike & Debbie & Family CommentsHappy Birthday Abby.

My thoughts are with you always as we have a connection even though we dont know each other!

I hope that today wasn't as hard as you may imagined it to be. I know you will be doing more reminiscing today and remembering how your life shattered a year ago. Take care and remember that there are people out there that care for you and share your pain. Take care, Krista Name: Mike and Debbie Jefferies and kids CommentsDvae and Jenni You were the first thing we thought of today. Our thoughts and prayers are with you on this day. You were blessed for a short time with a beautiful baby girl but she made such an impact on our world. She was a very special little girl and now a beautiful angel. Our kids are very blessed to have some one so special to watch over them as their guardian angel. Our thoughts are always with you, Debbie, Mike, Jacob, Meghan and Melissa Name: John and Blanche Loebach CommentsDave and Jennifer This website is such a wonderful way of telling the world how special Abby was and how precious her memory is to all of us who knew her. On this the first anniversary of Abby's passing, we wanted to reflect on and describe what Abby means to us. We were so privileged to have Abby spend most of her short life in our home, and we learned so much about life from her; how precious life is for those who are so fortunate to be healthy; how a beautiful little person can influence the lives of so many people; and how everything else in life is insignificant in comparison to the importance of family. You once told us that this was happening to Abby because she was a perfect girl, and you were right. And that is why we will never really lose Abby - she will always be part of our family for the rest of our lives as our perfect little person and our Guardian Angel. We love you Abby. Grandma and Papa Loebach Name: Steve Fisher CommentsDave & Jen ... I always knew how great you 2 were, I just didn't know how strong you were ... or how lucky.
