We could never repay you for your help through that first terrible week.  Your emotional support not to mention all the help you provided will never be forgotten.  Also, a BIG thank you to Uncle Dan for developing this website.  It is by far better then we ever imagined it would be.  All your call’s, prayers and gifts are greatly appreciated.  We love you all.  

RE/MAX Properties Inc.:

Thank you so much for all your support.  The meals, cards and letters are appreciated more then you will ever know.  The incredibly generous donations are helping us through some tough times especially since Lacene is taking a leave of absence from her job in order to care for Mike.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

EDWARD JONES:

Greg Pippin for your continued prayers and encouragement through these trying times and especially for being so supportive of Lacene and her job.    

Pam Martinez and Anabell Widney for organizing the food drive, and for just being here. We appreciate all your support.  

Jan Simpson for your loving friendship and encouraging support.  Thank you for the journal that you sent me (Cene)  to record all my fears and joy’s in, AND for being here to calm me during my darkest moments.  

Brooke Squires for your friendship and ability to get us to smile and sometimes even laugh when it seems like we can’t do anything but cry.  (also a big thank you for the Quiche meal that you made for us last week!)

Laurie Hafey for organizing the blood drive and helping Greg out in the office.  

Macie Chadwick for offering to take Ashley for the weekend to pamper her and to make her feel special.  (Which we plan on taking her up on!  J )

Lisa Fountain for helping Greg out in the office and for offering to have lunch with me when we’re across the street from your office during Mike’s chemotherapy appointments.  It will be nice to see a familiar friendly face.   

And finally, the many, many other “Jone’s” family members that have supported our family thru cards, prayers and meals.

FRIENDS:    
Kim Graham for your updates to our friends and family thru email.  Also, thank you for the laminated bible verses to put up through our house.  We plan on doing what you suggested.  Your prayer and friendship mean so much.  

Tim and Noelle Little for your continued support, friendship and helping us in all our ‘home improvement” needs. (the wall and door being put up)  Also JR helped with that too.

Linda, George and Jessica Richie for your continued support.  You have managed to always bring us exactly what we need, when we need it.  Though we just met you earlier this year, you have become part of our family and we love you very much.

Pastor Bart and family:  Your prayers and calls mean so much.  Bart, the encouragement that you give Tom is so needed and appreciated.  Thank you for being our friend.   

Mom Martin for your love and comforting ways.  You always know just what to say at the perfect time to make all of us feel better.   Your calls and visits are looked forward to by every one of us.  

Jeff and Frieda Martin for all your support from keeping Ashley overnight to picking up pharmaceutical needs and everything in between.  

Pastor Jack and Terri Brown for your love and encouragement.  We appreciate your wisdom and insight into God’s promises, and your encouragement when we find ourselves doubting.  Also, thank you for coming over with the Deacon’s to pray over and anoint Mike.  I can’t describe what it meant to us, other then to say you are a gift from God and we love you.  

Shanna and Glenneth Hughes for being such strong shoulders to lean on, and for your undying friendship.   

Pastor James and Pricilla Jones for your insight and loving advice.

Ray Ritter for your friendship and support.  (He was Tom’s coach and mentor in High School)

Coach Johnson, (Mike’s football coach) for your overwhelming support in visiting Michael on a regular basis, and for awarding him his first football letter and letterman’s jacket.  You have become an important part of our family.

Ms Hicks, Mike’s friend and “lunch room” buddy.   Mike always smiles and say’s “cool” when you call or stop by.  Thank you for being such an inspiration to us and to him.  

All of Mike’s teachers and team mates who have stopped by to check up on Mike.  

Sgt and Jeanna Carlton for the portable DVD player that you are letting Mike borrow.  He uses it every day that he has Chemotherapy.  It really helps the time pass by more quickly!

Christian Arroya and his family for being such good friends to Michael both before and during this time.  (Christian’s Dad, Jose’ shaved Michael’s head (at his own request) so that he doesn’t have to watch his hair fall out.   Christian shaved his head just to support Mike!!   Mike is really looking forward to Linda’s (Christian’s Mom) hot-wings when his appetite returns! )
