  10. You guys amaze me in so many ways! I have been following your blog and praying for you since this started. I just wanted to let you know that both of my children asked Jesus into their hearts on Saturday when they heard that Cash went up to heaven. They both want to meet him and play with him when they get there someday! Your son has left a wonderful and inspiring legacy for all of us! Thank you for keeping us updated! We will continue to pray for you and your family! Take good care of those beautiful boys and love up on them!

  13. I'm so thankful for your family and for your faith. Your sharing has been a blessing. I haven't met your precious Cash, but I look forward to meeting him in Heaven.

    Prayers of thanksgiving for Cash's strength and the love he gave, for your strength and the love you gave; and prayers of hope that God will heal your hurting hearts.

    I'm reminded today that every good and perfect gift is from above--what better way to sum up the love between Cash and his people (his mommy and daddy, aunties and uncles, Gamma and Gampa, and so many others), than just that: good and perfect.

    Much love to you all.

  16. Love came down and rescued me
    Love came down and set me free
    I am yours, I am forever yours

    Mountains high or valleys low
    I sing out remind my soul that
    I am yours, I am forever yours.

    My dear cousins. Cash is forever His. Thanks be to Jesus that we are called children of God. We have been following the blog and praying fervently for your family. Your faith and commitment to the Lord are truly an inspiration. May the Spirit of the one who came down for us continue to rain on you and give you strength and comfort.
    With much love,
    Steven and Jacki (Vander Meulen) Potorke

  17. Jack & Wendi, You have shown all of us parents how to hold a child with open hands. God did not have to pry Cash from a tight grip because you understood that he really belonged to Jesus. God's plan for your beautiful family was to display His glory. May God bless you for your obedience to His difficult calling!

    Jesus came to "bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners... to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." (Isaiah 61)

    With much love,
    Phama Woodyard

  18. Your family is an inspiration to the world.. Your precious Son has taught us all so many lesson's in his short little life.. May God take Chase into Paradise, where he may play fully healed with all the other angels up there in heaven... And may God wrap his loving arms around the rest of you and continue to give you peace..
    My heart aches with you during this time... Losing a child no matter how prepared, nor unprepared, it just sucks the life out of you.. I will hold your family up in my prayers.

  21. Jack and Wendi,
    This is a beautiful tribute to my beautiful friend, Cash. I had no idea. There are no words that can express what I feel right now. My heart aches.I just had to remind you of how much Cash was loved by the staff at The Proton Therapy Center, in Houston. He was such a brave little boy. On a very personal note, this affects me deeply. There is a picture of Cash in my home that makes me smile each day. That picture helps me to get up and go to work on days when it's difficult. I feel blessed to have known your family. Thanks for this blog. It allowed us to follow you all on this journey. My heart, prayers, and love are with you all. Looking forward to seeing my friend in Heaven. Praying that you are given comfort, peace, and a lifetime of beautiful memories.

  22. How amazing this little boy was and so full of courage....much more than the average person, I am thinking...has left his family to be with the Lord, but no doubt left so many wonderful memories behind to treasure. Wilma, you and your family will be in my prayers always....Love, Susie McMannes

  23. I came across your blog today (via pioneer woman pic entry) and i have been so truly touched by your family. I have cried, laughed and I'm in complete awe in your faith. I pray that Cash's memory lives on and the hope of seeing him in heaven gets you through those unbearable days.

  24. I'm so touched by your story of Cash and your love and faith that continues to get you through each day. You are an amazing family and God will continue to bless you and give you peace. My story is much like yours. I lost my husband eight years ago to a PNET. Our losses are great but our faith will carry us through. God bless you & your beautiful family.

  25. I happened upon this post through Ree's blog. I am in awe of you and your journey. Thank you for sharing such a gift with the rest of us. Your babies are so beautiful.
    My son is currently surviving Leukemia. I know where you started but I fear I am not strong enough to stand where you stand. Many tears fell and prayers were said during the reading of this post.
    Much love to you and your family.

  26. I also came across your blog through Ree's blog... I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my mother last year so I am enduring the journey to healing as well. I cannot imagine losing a child. I pray for your continued strength through this time and know that the Lord is keeping you in his arms.
