Hi friend

It's been many years. I just wanted you to know that I will be praying for you Lynette and your family. Psalm 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Love, your childhood friend, Kara.

I have been doing a great deal of thinking about how Sydney, her illness, and prayer journey have changed my life and the lives of my family. I hope these thoughts in some small way may be a blessing to you as you grieve for Sydney.
There are many ways my family has grown because of Sydney and your family. One of the largest ways has been enjoying a prayer journey, with its ups and downs, with a wonderful, widespread group of believers. And in so doing, feeling strengthened in my own life each day. Additionally, my own daily complaints and problems seemed so insignificant and trivial compared to the needs of so many others, especially Sydney and your family. Many times I consider myself honored to have offered up, fasted, or sacrificed in the name of healing for Sydney and wisdom for your family. Incredibly, the gifts I received myself from making the sacrifice, enriched my own spiritual journey with God and allowed Him to speak to me about my own areas of weakness where only He could work. When faced with the struggle to live, many things of this world become outrageously less important...only living and breathing are important and the only things worthy of our time are of God. Our family has struggled for many years over the education of our oldest son. Through praying for your family, appreciating the importance of living for Christ in every decision, we were able to finally brave a difficult decision to take him out of a destructive, less-than-God filled setting. Miraculously, the son we thought didn't exist anymore, as a product of a poor educational environment, is returning to us day by day. Since removing him from the school, we have been blessed by a beautiful group of Christians that have given him friendship he has never personally had in his fifteen years of life. I am certain this was a gift we received from our faithful prayer for Sydney. Although it may seem simplistic, it was a complicated decision for an array of reasons. But never before, in our many years of feeling no direction on matters of his education, both my husband and I felt clear, united direction. Praise God! I will forever see this spiritual landmark as a gift of God's grace through faithful prayer for Sydney and your family. Although we have benefited immensely from this journey, I do feel saddened and unworthy when I imagine that you are entering a new journey without Sydney. Know that you remain in our thoughts and prayers. I pray that God will comfort you with beautiful memories that seem so real that you can feel Sydney's presence, or hear her giggle from across the room...that these moments could reassure you of the wonderful place you created for her here on earth, that has allowed her to swiftly find her place in the Kingdom of Heaven, saving a special place right next to her just for her family. It, I am confident, will be worth the wait. Prayers, love, peace, joy,
Mary

Dearest Lynette and James,
having experienced this with you side by side I am both heartbroken an more determined than ever to continue to seek the Lords help and to search for a cure for this horrid disease. Your words mirror my own emotions, I don't know how we got through the difficult days, just that God and the heavenly support were carrying us. I came in looking for you and was given the very sad news. I know that Sydney is very happy and at peace now, and that whe will be yet another angel to watch over us. I started the Julien Collot Foundation to raise money (and awareness) I really believe that we can conquer childhood cancers in our lifetime, or at least in our childrens lifetime.

I will continue to pray for you, all our love and deepest respect,

Jackie

May the love, joy and laughter (and don't forget the pranks) that you shared with Sydney help to ease the pain in your heart! Love and prayers for each of you! Betsy

Jodie Fletcher shared this poem with us. Her daughter Erin wrote it shortly after Sydney's
chapel service at school, Oct. 1st. We wanted to share it with you, I hope Erin ande Jodie don't mind.

I Saw You Cry
By Erin Fletcher

I saw you cry, the tears you shed,
Now that the one we prayed for is dead.
But do not mourn for she who died,
For her Jesus was crucified.
Mourn for those who lost one whom they love,
And pray for comfort from above.
She has gone for you and me,
But she has left a legacy.
News of her spread coast to coast.
No one person benefited the most.
Don't think God didn't care,
Or He wasn't always there.
He watched her pain and suffering,
Knowing what triumph the end would bring.
He is always there, you will see,
Watching out for you and me.
We can find comfort with ease,
If we'll just get on our knees.
Say a prayer for blessing and comfort,
Pray that God will ease the hurt.
Thank the Lord for her life,
And her courage through the strife.
Do not say, GǣWhy didn't He answer our prayer,
If He was always there?Gǥ
We prayed for life and complete healing,
And going to Heaven brought her true life and a new being.

We are so saddened that your precious daughter, Sydney, has lost her battle with Leukemia. As you may remember, Janet serves on the board for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society, and was so hoping that Sydney would recover. Our thoughts & prayers are with you now as you try to get through this most difficult time. Sydney was truly an inspiration to us all, and had such courage. Please know that we care.
Your neighbors,
Janet & Jack Nylund

Dear Lynette and James,

My daughter and I attended Sydney's memorial service yesterday and were so deeply moved by the celebration of Sydney's life! After the service my daughter commented, "Mom, I walked into the service feeling sad for Sydney and her family and I left the service feeling happy! I think Sydney would have liked that!"

Thank you for so openly sharing your heartwrenching journey with us. As you encourged us, we will continue to pray!

With love,

The Clements Family

dear lynette and james,
i never met sydney but i donated platlets in the spring for her. i have followed your painful journey and it is with great sadness that i send you my condolences. i thought she was getting better so on a side note checked the website and found out the distressful news. your faith in Christ is very admirable. i am a strong believer that God works in mysterious ways. having lived with sydney's illness, you have learned alot about life, faith and have met wonderful people who have helped you. you realized that the life she was living was not fair but it is ultimately in God's hands that we rest our faith. God has a new angel in Heaven, I believe it is a wonderful place, free from pain and sorrow. My younger sister passed away 11 years ago from leukemia. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. I speak to her, and I feel she is always near. Take care of yourselves and keep the faith. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family as you begin the long process of healing. God bless you.

sincerely,
mary m. lagrua

Dear Thweatt Family, We will never forget Sydney and we will never be the same. So many lives have been changed. Thank you for sharing your journey. This beautiful picture that has been painted, full of gut wrenching honesty, complete dependence on God, amazing joy and the powerful peace of God has glorified God in such a unique way. Hi name has been lifted up and so many have been changed forever. You are in our prayers. Margaret for the Kilgores

Lynette,James & Boys,
I can't begin to imagine the pain hovering over your hearts right now. Sydney was a special little girl. She accomplished more than many have in an entire lifetime. She was alittle warrior,strong in spirit, and undaunted by her illness, or by the overwhelming odds against her. In her beat a heart of a champion .I know she is wearing one of the "crowns of glory". I know that you must feel the love & prayers that are being sent you way, so hold on to that to keep you strong.I am praying for you everyday.
Love, Ms. Nancy

I was sad to hear of Sydney's passing, and sad not to get a chance to say goodbye. It was truly amazing to get to know such a wonderful family and such a wonderful little girl as Sydney! I know she is in a better place now. But we can all remember her as a fun-loving, high-spirited, brave girl. Your family faith and family bond have really touched my heart, and it was a pleasure being in your lives.

James, I got a call from Donna and she told me about your daughter. I am so sorry for your loss. It sounds like she was a wonderful child with a great spirit and had a wonderful loving supportive family and friends by her side. I can't even imagine what to say to you and you family at this time but to remember what a wonderful time you all had together as a family remember her spirit and her smile and what joy she brought to everyone's life she touched. James, I haven't seen you since our last reunion and I hope you remember me, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love Jonni

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I am friends with Lucinda Buford and she has shared Sydney's journey with me over the last year. I lost my daughter to AML more than three years ago when she was nine months and now run Heroes for Children in her memory in Dallas.

Sadly, the pain never goes away, but it does ease a bit. I miss my daughter every day and wish she were here with us, but her memory carries on and the memories are happy ones, not sad. I remember the smiles and the shining vibrant eyes. I hope that for you and your family. If you ever want to speak to another mother who has "been there," Lynette, I am always available.

Lastly, I know I am a stranger and this is stepping over my bounds a bit, but I have a suggestion--If you can, take a trip with your family. I sincerely credit that for saving my marriage after the death of our daughter. We focused on our family, our love, and escaped the good hearts and good intentions of family and friends. We were able to isolate ourselves a bit and blend in to a crowd where no one knew us or our pain (we took a cruise). It helped in our case, it really did. I suggest that if you can, give it a thought.

Please know I am thinking of your family.

--Jenny
