Mallory,

 This is Sherman from Georgian Bank. I don"t know you, but your mother is my favorite co-worker and I think about you everyday.. Your story has touched me. Your strength has inspired me. I honestly can say that I think about you everyday and think of ways I can positively impact your life. I was quietly, eveny our mother didn"t know, raising money for a cake, ballons, and a cashier"s check of spending money to give to YOU, this past Friday on our CHOA Transplant Awareness Day. But your mother told me on Thursday, that you was not coming here to Cumberland and that she, herself,  would be at Powder Springs. So, I had to scrap that plan and surprise..

I still want to do something nice for you. You let me or your mother know and its DONE!! Your mother is very nice to me and I can tell she and you have been through a ton. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

I told you that you was my celebrity when I met you and I still want your autograph. On a big picture like musicians do.. Take Care

Mallory,

Please let Brooks know that he is already a LEGEND up here in Georgia!  I heard he hit a home run and got a lot of batters out at first!  Is he really 7?!?!?!  GO BROOKS!

Lisa and Mallory,

Thank you so much for giving a shout out to Genesis Church!  You all are such great friends.  Words cannot even describe it!  Mallory I am praying for better numbers tomorrow!  It is amazing all that baby Emerson has been through!  We will be praying for her as well.  Love you guys!  Have a great evening!

Love Kristen

Hey Mal!!! I absolutely love the pictures of Jude and Munchkin getting baptized. That is AWESOME!! I"m so glad those sweet, precious babies decided to do that. And it  looked like you were doing a fantastic job sprinkleing. You go girl!! I hope labs and clinic go well tomorrow and I hope you"re feeling better. You"re awesome sweet angel and LYGF more than you know!!! Have a GREAT day!!

All my Love and Prayers forever and always,

Rhonda aka Nana

Dear Lisa and Mallory,

As a Mom you are very aware of your childs progressions and setbacks in life.  You love your child unconditionally and wish you had a magic wand when they are faced with hurts and struggles and you feel so helpless because you don"t have that wand.

Since knowing the two of you I have watched the change in Kristen with amazement.  She has always been a wonderful girl but the two of you have enlightened her in areas that you probably don"t even realize. She has grown so much in the past two years.

On Saturday her testimony stated that you and Rhonda helped her get to the place she is today with her faith.  Now I as a Mom can feel so much better knowing that she now knows the one with that wand and she is in the palm of His hand.

Mallory, Kristen wears that beautiful cross with pride and it is a special gift she will cherish forever.  You are such a wonderful person and I love you both for the very special people you are.

Love,

Melanie

HAPPY EASTER SWEET ANGEL!!!!!! HOPE YOU"RE FEELING BETTER AND I LOVE YOU BUNCHES!!!!

ALL MY LOVE AND PRAYERS FOREVER AND ALWAYS,

RHONDA

Well hello sweet angel!!! I hope you feel a lot better today!! I"m praying for you to have a wonderful, blessed Easter!!! Maybe I"ll become a Nana this weekend and Gracen will be our little Easter bunny!! Always remember sweetie that I think of you and pray for you everyday! I wish I could put into words how much you have inspired me and uplifted me on so many occasions. You have changed my life forever!! You are forever in my heart and a part of my life. HAPPY EASTER my sweet, sweet Mallory! And I thank my Lord and Savior everyday for the blessing of you being in my life.

MY LOVE AND PRAYERS FOREVER AND ALWAYS, Rhonda

P.S. UM....hey Mal, I need a new dress, can I borrow the "card number". HEE HEE

Hello Sweet Mallory!!!  I love you sooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AW I love you MAL!!! You"re My best friend too!!!

Hello Mallory

I hope you are having a wonderful day!  You are one of the strongest individuals I know and you are admired by so many.  You are always in my prayers!

P.S.- Tell you mom that her message on organ donation was amazing and inspirational!!! 

Jocelyn Roper

WOW!  Always a great story for organ donation and I know if given the choice you would choose for Mallory not to be sick, but her story will probably save lives.

What a great decision that two families made that helped saved Mallory"s life.  Doug and Izzie"s families are probably still missing their loved one but to know that somehow their family member lives on in another"s body has to be comforting.

I think with Easter Sunday coming up this is a great lesson.  Jesus died on the cross to save our lives and that is the best gift anyone will ever receive. When someone donates their organs that is also a precious gift.  The person does not die to save another, but rather chooses after death to donate their precious organs.  What a great legacy to leave on this earth!  We will be made whole again in Heaven by God and can celebrate for eternity that we saved a life on earth.

Mallory, we love you and are so glad that you are still here to brighten our day. HAPPY EASTER!

Hey Sweet Angel!! I pray this note will find you feeling great and full of energy. Have a  wonderful, blessed day sweetie and I"ll see you soon!!!! You"re awesome girl!!!

ALL MY LOVE AND PRAYERS FOREVER AND ALWAYS

Rhonda aka Nana

Dear Mallory and Lisa,

I have to say that before July 2006, I really did not know what being an organ donor was all about.  Was it on my license, yes, but I had never talked with anyone about it or anything.  You all have raised so much awareness for me, my family, and my friends since 2006.  Lives upon lives will hopefully be saved one day (years from now hopefully :0) ) because of your story!  I know without a doubt that my husband, my Mom, and myself are organ donors and no matter what, please take whatever you can to save someone else.  My question to people would be WHY WOULDN"T YOU????  I know I would feel much better knowing my family member that had passed on had given a priceless gift to someone else, the gift of life!  Wow! I love you guys!  Thanks for being such wonderful friends to me.  Love, Kristen

Hey Sweet Angel! I pray you are feeling great today!! I"m praying for perfect numbers on Wednesday. And also for you to get your strength back. You are such an inspiration to me and I have such admiration and respect for you. I hope one day I"ll be as strong and inspirational as you are to so many people. Take care sweetie and I hope to see you soon.

All my Love and Prayers forever and always,

Rhonda aka Nana (no baby yet....but stay tuned)

P.S. Lisa, thank you for the post filled  with great information. I know where Mallory gets her awesome personality from. LYGF more than you know!!!!

Hi Mallory! 

Just a note to let you know that we are thinking of you and all of the problems that you are going through right now!  We pray that all of these bumps in the road get smoothed out very quickly! You are quite a gal!  You have gone through more than most people have to go through in a lifetime! I just pray that if I ever have to go through the trials that you have gone through that I will go through them with as much dignity as you have shown!

We pray for you constantly and all of ourfriends are praying too!  God has to hear our prayers because you still keep finding the strength to face each problem as each one comes along!  We are amazed at the strength and perserverance your whole family has shown through your trials!

Lisa has always been right by your side no matter what the problem or how long it takes to get it fixed.  I do believe she knows almost as much as the dr"s do !  LOL

I know Mike always has you on his mind 24/7 even though he can"t be by your side as much as he would like to! He is always there in a pinch when he is needed, you can be very proud of both of your parent"s!  And you also have a brother that adores you!And a bigger family that loves you very much!

We never go to bed at night till we go to your website to check on the latest news, just in case there is something we don"t know about!

I hope and pray that your pain eases and the tests next week all show improvement!

We are looking forward to seeing you All again when Michael & Angela get married!

OOPS I just got carried away writing to you and burned my green beans & I am having company for supper! LOL I guess I had better shut up and start cooking! 

You Go Girl , we are pulling for you every step of the way!

God Bless You And Yours Every day!

We are so glad that you are home and hope that you will start feeling better real soon. Praying for low numbers!!

Love you,

Aunt Robin & Uncle Frank

Home Sweet Home!! I"m so thankful that you are back home and hopefully getting some rest. I think about you all the time and you are always in my heart and prayers sweetie. I pray for no pain today and nothing but feeling good! LYGF!!

All my Love and Prayers forever and always

Glad to hear you are back home and that your numbers are coming down.  I pray your pain goes away and you are able to rest peacefully.  We love you!

So sorry to hear you are still inpatient. Glad to hear that things are getting better :)

We do check in often but don"t often write a note. Just wanted to let you know we still think about you guys a lot. Next time we are up in ATL (maybe in a few weeks!), we"ll have to see if we can get together.

So glad to hear you may be home soon.  Still praying as always and can"t wait to hear the good news that all are home, resting and doing well again.  Have a blessed day.

Mal, You stay in our prayers daily, but we will be praying extra hard for you & the family. You are, by far, the strongest young lady I have ever seen.

Mal & Lisa,

So thankful to here that your labs were better!!  I pray that you are headed home to sleep in your own beds tonight. I am so sorry that you had such a yucky night.  Its just so dang hard to go back in.  Thanks so much for keeping us updated and for letting us know how to pray for you.
