I wish I could have been in Richmond, VA at the prayer service to hug each of you and show you just how much I appreciate what you have done for Kaitlyn and for us. It takes a special person to actually act on an idea, especially one like a Prayer Service with slide shows and songs and prayers, etc! WOW!
Prayer Service mentioned in the news earlier in the day.

If you haven't seen "Our Story" here it is...
I have always known what great people there have been in my life but when you go over 14 years without really staying in touch except through Facebook, it's pretty incredible what has happened and what others are willing to do.
This is a slide show that Christian Flemming put together with a song by Kari Jobe (that Kristin sang at the service) and with me talking during the News 14 Carolina interview.
I am amazed at Kaitlyn and how she has touched so many people's lives. I have started to print out messages that I receive about how she has impacted their lives.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone involved in the prayer service, especially Kristin Gainous-Anderson who came up with the idea but to Christian Fleming for the videos and Cheryl Read for getting the word out to the media. Thank you to each of you who have put your time and effort into making this happen. You will never know what a big difference you have made in our lives. Thank you to everyone who came to the service and prayed for Kaitlyn, it means the world to us.

My brother and sister-in-law lost my niece before her 4th birthday to another rare genetic disease to which there is also no cure. I watched your video and relived our family's ordeal through yours. My brother works tirelessly trying to raise money and awareness. May g-d bless you all. It is the worst pain to watch a child, your own child suffer without being able to help them.
