Lauren,

I just looked from beginning to end at your site. I cried through Abby's song at church, laughed through all of Seth's antics, and thanked God that I got to know Jack.

I've come to realize that over the years I no longer look at you as my little sister, changing your diapers, rocking you through the flu and chicken pox. Instead I look at you and see one of the most awe - inspiriring women I have ever met.

I am blessed to have you and your family in my life, I thank you all for taking the time to help me on my walk - to really get to know and understand God's grace and love. It is so much easier to live life without that hole in your soul that only Christ can fill.

All my love and prayers are with you. You have a beautiful family.

God bless you and yours and all our family.
One of my favorite passages in the old testment is Joshua 1:19.

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go".

Kevin and Lauren,
I have spent the past 2 hours reading, laughing, crying and now praying even more after reading your website. Lauren, you did an awesome job with this. It's a great way to stay updated with what's going on with Abby. Although I pass her at school and give her a quick hug, I don't always know how she's "really" feeling. I see Seth daily and have to just smile. He 's a mess!! The pictures of Jack just brought back so many memories for me. Lauren and Kevin - you both have been such an inspiration to all that know you. You have put your trust in God even during the most difficult times. Praise God that you know the only true peace can come from Him. Also, praise God that you are raising your children to know that. I pray that during the hardest moments for Abby, she'll find comfort in God. Sorry this is so long, I just wanted to tell you how much I love you guys and thank you so much for your website. Know that I'm only a phone call away and is always ready to help out.

Dear Lauren, Kevin, Abby & Seth,

All my love and thoughts to you guys! As always you are in my heart. Tell Abby we miss her at school. Where is that little giggle when I need it.
I didn't know if you had heard, but Seth asked to take the K-9 drug dog home with him. The officer laughed and said, "No, he is very expensive." Seth said, "That's OK, I have some money." That boy cracks me up.
Love you guys,

Lauren and Kevin (Fitz),

Its been a long time guys. I found Kev on FB and he posted the link for your site. Its great to see pictures of you two.. It brings back memories of fun times and lots of laughing. You have gone through some tough times to say the least. From Lauren's intro for the site and viewing the pictures it makes me happy to see that you have beautiful family and have a great network of support as well. I could type for at least another hour so I will leave it at that for now.

Good thoughts always,

Phil Dino

Abby, I love your poem! And I'd love to see you swim in that pool of noodles! You are a beautiful singer and I could watch your videos all day long.

Lauren and Kevin, Abby and Seth, You are constantly on my mind and in my prayers. I have learned so much about faith, love, life, and a moment at a time, from all of you. I can still see Jack's smile in an instant and it is reflected in Abby's smile every day. I treasure the times that Seth lets me hold him, play with him and go on "dates" with this "mean" aunt of his. :-) And I treasure the times I've had to tell "Troll" stories to the kids, even though I know they really liked the tickling more than the story! As I journey through my life, the very special people and very important things become clearer to me. All of you are a shining beacon in my life and I'll cherish each of you forever!
Love, Aunt Jill

Awesome website Abby, Lauren, Kevin and Seth! I love your poem! And the Billy Joel song "River of Dreams" was very important to me at one point to. I sang it over and over when I was hiking on the Appalachian Trail in 1994, especially one night when I tried walking all night long and it was dark and scary out!

I can't believe how brave you are Abby, and how incredible and strong the rest of your family is! I hope you are meeting lots of other kids that you can learn from and I hope your doctors are kind and funny.

Brianna, Maya, Victoria and I all love you and miss you! Keep being brave and strong and creative.

Abby, you inspire me with your strength and determination. Having a positive attitude is half the battle. I know how hard it is to stay positive when you don't feel good. You seem to have mastered that. Good job

Heh there, Fitzpatricks. First, I want to tell you how sorry I am to read about the loss of your dear friend, Dr. Patty.She sounds like a wonderful woman. Her body may be gone but it sounds like her light lives on in many ways and in many people. God blessed you in knowing her (and blessed her knowing you.)
I would like to bring some Christmas goodies by the house. Call me when you and Abby get home, Lauren. You're in our prayers and thoughts. All of you. Fondly, Claudia Smith 770-993-4917

It was good seeing you the other day Lauren :-) I came home and told Jack & Brooke about seeing you. We're all concerned about Abby, you all traveling and Seth being without his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you regarding Abby's procedures and your travels. I'm sure you're all tired. We are available to help you out - in any way - just let us know what you need. We'll keep watching the website to stay informed.

You and your family are a blessing. I know at times that may seem so hard to believe with all you are going through. God gives special children to special parents. With you to I believe he may such a wise choice. Can you imagine their lives without your love. I can't and would not want to... I will be praying for all of you. God does miracles today as he always has when people intervene with prayers for others. Abby and you are on our prayer list at Facebook.com group K&RPrayerWarriors. we will continue to pray for God to give you strength through the hard times and his healing touch on Abby. Amen May God continue to Bless you and Yours. In Jesus' Name. Dianna Kettmann McCoy

I am a friend of your sister Rita and was just talking to her on the phone and mentioned a fund raiser that I went to last week. It was for my son's neighbor's son who has mitochondrial disease.

Rita said I think that is the same disease that Jack had and Abby now has. Of course she had to look it up because we all know she can't spell.

The fundraiser was for Nicholas Nunno who is now 15 years old. He lives in Rutherford, NJ. Their website, if you are inteested, is: NicholasNunnoFoundation

I have seen the effects of this disease first hand and admire you both and respect you for giving your children all the love that you do and for letting them enjoy their childhood.
