A Note From Website Owner-
Fighting Cancer- It Affects Us All
Support Research-
Let's Help Them Cure Cancer
My family has fought and is still fighting cancer. The following is by my daughter, Renee. Renee is a nurse and she is also the mother of little Sean, who is pictured below. He is fighting cancer. Since last spring when Renee wrote the following, our family has had an additional cancer diagnosis. We had five cancer disruptions in our family earlier this year. We had three new diagnosis and two deaths in two weeks.
Nurses fight cancer, not only by treating patients but also by raising public awareness of the disease. They raise money for cancer research through walks and midnight vigils. All donations requested here are made directly to the American Cancer Society. Deborah Owens, Mother of the Beloveds.
Help & Support For American Cancer Society, Fighting Cancer With Donations
By Renee Evette Peete, Mother, Daughter, Granddaughter, Niece of Cancer Patients.
Has Cancer Touched Your Life?
I am joining relay for life for my family. As I have seen the struggles, and know what cancer can do. I have seen it up close and personal by watching my Mom, my Aunt, my Grandmother and last but not least, my Son, Sean Peete, fight cancer with chemo, radiation and experimental treatments.
Dr. Levine, my son's Geneticist at Walter Reed, stated that "One in three people will be directly affected by cancer during their lifetime." Those odds are staggering, please help me to do something about it. Hopefully one day we will not have to be part of this or watch our loved ones through it because a cure will be found!
I am joining people around the world in celebrating those who have survived cancer, remembering the people we've lost, and supporting the lifesaving mission of the American Cancer Society.
Please Join Our Team and make a donation to the
American Cancer Society. You are helping deliver the hope that future generations will not have to endure cancer threatening the lives of their friends and family. You have the power to fight back against a disease that affects millions.
My Son, Sean Peete's page,
When you go to Sean's Page you can click to the The American Cancer Society Donation Page, all gifts to the American Cancer Society Are appreciated. Let's stamp out this disease in his lifetime! Thank you for reading this. God Bless You and Yours.

This was sent to us in response to our Relay for Life and we assume it is fair usage as it is circulating the internet. Author unknown.
This is beautiful! Try Not To Cry!
She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?"
The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."
Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?"
The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'
Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally.
The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom.' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'
Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.
The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.
She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.
It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said :
Dear Mom,
I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You' . I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't lik e the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.
Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the a nswer to one of the questions you asked Him where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.
Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?
Signed with Love from God, Jesus & Me.

Nurses Relay For Life
Join our fight against cancer.
Join us OR make a donation to our team and help us support the fight against cancer!
Cancer affects millions of people across the globe and many people right here in our hometown. By joining our team OR making a donation, you will be a part of Relay For Life to celebrate survivors, remember the people we've lost to cancer, and fight back against this disease.
Relay For Life , the American Cancer Society's signature event, is a fun-filled overnight experience designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer. At Relay, people from within the community gather to celebrate survivors, remember those lost to cancer, and to fight back against this disease. Relay participants help raise money and awareness to support the American Cancer Society in its lifesaving mission to eliminate cancer as a major health issue. During Relay For Life events, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. The events are held overnight to represent the fact that cancer never sleeps. Through the survivors' lap and the luminaria ceremony, we honor the people who have faced cancer first hand, and we remember those who have been lost to this disease.
But, Relay isn't about taking laps -- it's about coming together in the fight against cancer. Its a time to remember those lost to this disease and celebrate those who have survived. Its a place where people connect with others, share the cancer experience, and find comfort and solace. And it's an opportunity to build hope for a future where cancer no longer threatens the lives of the people we love.
As volunteers and donors, your efforts support research, education, advocacy, and services that allow the American Cancer Society to offer help and hope to people across the country when they need it most. By joining together at Relay, we celebrate life, friendship, and an opportunity to work to defeat cancer for future generations.
Sign up today to become a part of the Relay For Life effort in your community, and you too can fight back against cancer.
