    Colette,

    Be his hands and feet, I love it! God blesses us with people who enter our life with the intention to do his work. In doing the Grady Miracle Makeover I was blessed to meet and work with an amazing bunch of people. His work just continues to grow as we have seen with the blog party, we're being his hands and feet. Thank you for this beautiful blog and your continued support.

    Much love and admiration,

    Hi Colette,

    All I have to say is... you are great. You are great and Kelee and the Design Gives Back crew are great too. Every time I hear/see a story such as yours or Charlie's I get teary eyed. No one deserves to go through the pain that you or Charlie has. But the greatest thing about it is that you have had amazing support from friends, family, God, and even strangers. Now you're doing your part and giving back that support. God bless you (I know he already has ;) Hope all is well. ~Jenny

    Colette your story gives us hope.

    We know that through Him anything is possible but as humans face with these challanges it is sometimes difficult to see. That is why He give us stories like your to help strengthen our faith.

    Kelee has told us how you are now teaching the colour therapy to other cancer patients and that is truly wonderful. We love the work we do with FoKwC because when we see the kids smile it is God showing us a little bit of heaven.

    Thank you for all you do,
    The Grady Bunch

    All the best,

    To my better half, I am so proud of you in all that you do. Thank you for allowing God to use you in the various manner that He does. The compassionate demonstration of His power in your life compels others to love and be merciful. The clip of Charlie & Liam reminds me of this. I'm sooooo glad that you let me hang around to have the distinctive honor of being your confidant, all-around "guy pal", personnal cheerleader, groupie, and "loving partner until the parousia"! About 34 years ago, I read for the first time, Jesus said"...I have come that you may experience life to the fullest..." This has been so evident for me ever since He made this manifest in the person of you. Words cannot truly express the joy that fills my heart daily in knowing you. Thank you for submitting to the Holy Spirit in executing your role in God's economy.

    I Love you O'virtiuous woman of God! :)

    Your suitor for life!

    Colette, I'm back because Beverly said we can leave more than one comment, so I plan to do that and have been making the rounds. But first, let me say that for some reason I didn't connect that this was YOUR blog. Welcome to the blogging realm. I loved seeing your video last year and left lots and lots of comments. Sending you big hugs across the miles, and saying, "Gooooooooooooo, Charlie,Goooooooooooo, Fightttttttttttttttttt, Winnnnnnnnnnnnn!"
