The kindness, support, and generosity of everyone has been one of Sophie's miracles throughout this ordeal. I know that Marc and Emily have been overwhelmed by this spirit of love and community. This IS a wonderful world.
I'm wondering if you've heard of Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez and his work with cancer patients. Google him.

Sophie and Family-
As I was walking around the Westwinds I saw Sophie being pushed in a stroller, and I thought wow what a cute girl. My friend said to me, "Is that little Sophie?" And I said "Yea thats the little miracle." We walked slow while passing you guys. We got home and went strait on this website. God Bless!
Love-

Dear Marc and Emily,
We are also fellow Westwind neighbors. We just wanted to tell you that the upcoming Carnival sounds like it will bring in a lot of families with children. What a great way to bring families togehter to offer support. We are following the website and praying every step of the way. Please remain hopeful and thank you for sharing so much of Sophia's story. It allows us to be very specific with our prayers!

Dear Marc and Emily,
I heard about little Sophie through a phone call from Staci Starr. It was so emotional for me to hear Sophie's story, because it is similar in some ways to our dear Natasha (the daughter of my friends Tim and Julie) who we lost in June at the age of 6 to hepatocellular carcinoma caused by a rare genetic disorder known as Alagille's Syndrome. As hard as it was to feel so helpless as her cancer progressed, I was amazed by her spirit and outlook. I don't know why such things happen to beautiful innocent children such as Natasha and Sophie. I do know that the power of prayer is LIMITLESS, and Sophie is in our prayers every day!
Our loss is compounded by the fact that Natasha's father Tim also has Alagille's Syndrome, and is on the waiting list for a liver transplant, so we are still praying and raising money for this amazing family. At our last weekly meeting, I had to tell everyone about Sophie, and she's definitely in all of our thoughts and prayers. I'm planning to bring my son, and some of Natasha's other friends to the carnival...I'm sure it will be a great time for them, and I know how they will feel about being able to help Sophie! Wishing you HOPE and strength,
Sincerely,
Jennifer H., Lakewood, Ohio

Hello, just letting you know I am still here praying for you. I hope you have a blessed week.
Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23

I think about your family and pray for Sophie everyday, but today she has been on my mind more for some reason. I hope you can feel the love and support that so many people have for your family. I continue to pray that Sophie gives you joy each day... and for her miracle.
Blessings,
Betsy Kaiser

Just checking in on you all to say that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily! I hope things are going alright and that you have found some comfort from God and all those here on Earth fighting for Sophie! She is just adorable and I pray that God keeps her wrapped tightly in His arms and gives her the MIRACLE we are all prayering so hard for! Much love and care...stay strong and faithful!
God Bless

Dearest Marc and Emily,
You are so loved and so cared about by so many. So many lives have been forever changed because of the journey you have been on and the generous way in which you have shared it with all of us here. Tend to each other as you tend to Sophie. We love you both so very much.
Marc and Emily,
So sorry that we won't be able to attend the fundraiser on Saturday. We made it to Chile's tonight for the nationwide St. Jude fundraiser, though! We bought and decorated "peppers" in honor of Sophie. Still thinking of you always and sending our hope and strength.
