They say God has a plan for all of us and we are mearly on a journey. Why does it have to be so hard some times. Bless you all. Bill Leeker <wplrekeel@aol.com> Chesterfield, MO USA - HI, I guess I never ready your story before I am almost ashamed to say! IT is so-o- beautiful. I cried, am still crying. WE all have been through so much pain, mixed with bittersweet joy! We all have learned special gifts from our children, they have taught us well. It always amazes me how our beautiful children could teach so much without ever speaking a word. I know that silence is God's first language, maybe that's part of it. Trevor's story is the one I have found to be most similiar to LeA. Just wanted to let you know I read your site, it is beautiful and I am thankful to you for posting it at krabbes.com for all to read. Love and Hope to you all this Christmas Micki Micki Gartzke <mickig222@wi.rr.com> Shorewood, WI USA - I am sending all my love to you.

With lots of prayers, Betsy Martin Betsy Martin <sheltonsbaby@aol.com> Andrews, sc USA - I was researching my family history and typed in our last name Krabbe. Up came tons of info on the disease.

I understand somewhat of the grief you are experincing.... my best friend, Brittany, died @ the age of 13 about 5 weeks ago. Though it's not my son or my relative, she was like a sister to me.

Take care, Erika Erika Sears <gregerika@bellsouth.net> Seneca, SC USA - Excelent website. Very good job of teling his story and describing all of the events that Trevor and your family went through. God Bless. Brandon Newell <bnewell@kumc.edu> Kansas City, KS USA - I read your story on the website. I wanted to let you know how much I admire your strength and grace in such a heart breaking situation. I thought of you all often, especially over the holidays. I was glad you had Christmas together. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Liz Wells <jwells5@kscable.com> Topeka, ks USA - Hi Michelle, Bill and Zac...I miss you guys. I just wanted to let you all know, that I am thinking about all of you, and hope that you are doing okay. I believe in my heart that Trevor is having the time of his life! I worry that he may get a tummy ache eating all the pizza, hotdogs, candy etc., but then I realized that in heaven he wouldn't have to worry about that...so in my prayers, I tell him to eat all the junk he wants! I also know that being your child he is more than likely, helping the other kids and organizing their games!!! He had wonderful role models regarding the importance of love, strength, courage and trust. I have know doubt that he is showering his new friends with kindness and love. (and watching over all of you) Trevor will forever be in my heart and prayers, as well as each one of you. Love you, Melissa Melissa Cerveny <dmcer@aol.com> Casselberry, FL USA - Bill and Michelle, You do not know me, but I have been following your family's story closely and have been so touched by the strength you all have shown. I am a good friend of Jackie Craig and we also have a connection because Bill helped Mark Brown with our house plans(we are building west of Baldwin). Jackie kept me informed of your story and my prayers have been with you all throughout this time. I found the Krabbe website when going online to learn more about the disease. Finding your family's story was a bonus and I am so glad I did. Trevor was such a lucky little boy to be born to parents such as you and also to have a wonderful big brother. You all faced the situation with courage, strength, and dignity. I was so touched by the way you all lived each moment with Trevor and cherished each second......all parents should remember to do this with their children because life is too short......only God knows how much time we have together and all too often we take our loved ones for granted..thinking they will always be there. Although losing Trevor had to be the hardest thing in the world, knowing this brought you to cherish every moment with him....he surely knew how loved he was. Thank you for sharing Trevor's story and for reminding me how precious life is....to make the most of the time I have with my children. I hope that one day we might meet face to face so that I can give you both a great big hug and tell you that Trevor's story has made a big impact on those who have heard it. Peace, Shelly Todd Shelly Todd <ksl1987@networksplus.net> Lawrence, KS USA - Your story about Trevor overwhelmed me and made me cry. Because I'm going through what your family had to go through. I recently had a healthy baby boy born Nov.13th, 2000. I and the father decided that giving the baby up for adoption was the best thing for William Hunter Mitchell. So I picked the best family ever!!!! I'm sure you know them Rick and Lorie Mitchell. I got a call on the 27th of Feb. saying that my son was in the hospital dying. I rushed to KU MEDICAL CENTER to see Hunter before he had passed on. They still weren't for sure what Hunter had. So I went home that same day crying cause my son was in the hospital suffering and in pain everytime you moved him he would cry for help. That following Saturday I was getting ready to go out of town and I got a phone call from his doctor in Kansas City, saying he is hearing impaired and he has less than 12 months to live. I just bursted into tears. I'm only 19, I didn't think that my son has a disease and wll be passing on. I feel bad because I wanted Hunter to have the best family and life that money couldn't buy. He still does but it's not the same. Rick and Lorie are so nice and sweet I don't know what to say. But the best thing is that Trevor will have some one to play with and hopefully that they become best friends and buddies. I hope that Trevor and Hunter will meet lots of wonderful kids that has passed on with the disease. Well I'm glad that I got to talk to you and hopefully get to talk again. I'll put your family on my prayer list and pray for and with you. In JESUS'S name AMEN. Patty McFeeters <cakeums@hotmail.com> Salina, KS USA - God Bless your family. I pray for everyone every day and night, so I will just add your family to my prayers. I am a student at Spring Arbor College. I am taking my last class for my BA degree. The class is biology with a lab. One of the assignments was to find a disease and write about it. I was surfing the web, because I was going to do my paper on kidney disease or glaucoma. I happened to run across Krabbes Disease and started reading about it. Funny how life does things. I used to care for children at a home,in Chicago, named Misercordia Home. There were children like Trevor, but I never knew or understood what was wrong. I just took care of them and loved and talked to them. Little did I know, years later that I would be reading about this illness. Oops, I forgot to tell you my name. Duh!! It is RoseElla P. Lyke, I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. As stated earlier I will be in prayer for your family. Remember, not only does God know best, He KNOWS what he is doing. God Bless you all. RoseElla P. Lyke <REPLyke@yahoo.com> Kalamazoo, MI USA - Hello- I am a longtime friend of Carol Harrison Murray, way back to Lamaze classes and LaLeche League, some 27 yrs. ago.

Steve & Roberta Knecht Overland Park, KS USA - Dear Bill and Michelle, Little Trevor is now in heaven, playing, laughing and doing all the little boy things he missed up to now.
