I am so happy to read that you and the kids are doing so well. You have touched my life in a way that I can never fully explain by your blog. I pray every night for all of you including Jeff. You are the most awe inspiring, woman I have ever had te pleasure of knowing. It's been a very long time since we've seen each other, but I want you to know that the example that you have set for every wife and mother is truly incredible. Thank you for this beautiful gift. I am deeply happy for you and the kids and the impressive way you have continued to live your lives with grace, joy and meaning. You are truly amazing. May God bless you and the kids. Know you are always in the Stehlik's prayers.<br /><br />Love,<br />Kelly, Jim, Abby and Kaitlyn StehlikKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222020466741657643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285941135567596458.post-34115081530008149022009-09-29T18:10:55.146-05:002009-09-29T18:10:55.146-05:00Kelly and children,

This may seem like a strange comment ba...Oh, Kelly. This may seem like a strange comment based on the way it started out, but I have so loved your blog. I remember how I'd always hesitate a little bit before clicking on the link in my favorites -- what would it show me? Were things going OK, had there been a new development, were any of the new treatments working? And then the last few months, reading it and knowing what the end would be, just not when. And then that last day, sitting at work reading your comment and Jeff's entry, just kind of trying to breathe around the humming in my ears. <br /><br />I was talking to one of my friends this weekend, and when I told her you had kept up the blog, she asked if it was sad. My reply? "Actually...it's usually funnier than sad." And it's true --even when you're writing about something heartbreaking, there has been a lot of humor. I thank you so much for that, and for sharing the first year after Jeff with all of us. My email is with this post; I'd love to have yours. <br /><br />Best & all my Love -- LauraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02116334838592845633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285941135567596458.post-52723101662580913322009-09-28T18:13:24.543-05:002009-09-28T18:13:24.543-05:00You are a strong, brave woman.

We have never met, but I can tell you are an amazing woman. Jeff was a classmate of mine at Pius. I wanted to share with you that I tried to honor him in my speech class at Doane a few weeks ago by reading the Journal Star article about him last October for one of my speeches. It's an amazing story...blessings to you and the kids.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899614977067992613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285941135567596458.post-87234738413851493642009-09-28T07:03:54.050-05:002009-09-28T07:03:54.050-05:00I think the blog has helped everyone.

He really had a interest, and I had a lot of fun telling him the differences between the various instruments.

Cheers to reframing this process and tragedy and taking yet a new step in life. You are the bravest (not to mention strongest, and an all around awesome person) person I know. I also know that Jeff has been beaming with pride over the last year and all you have accomplished with the kids and life. I was just trading Ireland stories with someone recently and thought of Jeff and the first few times I had a Guiness with him. it's hard to believe we have all known each other for nearly 20 years. I echo Mary's gratitude for all you and Jeff have shared with everyone and all the lessons you've taught us with your example. Keep on keeping on - and you deserve all the best.

This last entry was so typical in its extraordinance. I saw through your eyes, I cried, I celebrated humanity. Jeff's death raised a great awareness about his good life. As a father of four I have been truly inspired while reflecting on Jeff's life. This blog has been a gift to so many people in so many ways. Many of my friends and family thank you for enriching our lives. What amazing gifts you have: grace, humility, prose, perspective and a crazy memory for details to name a few! I applaud your timing and your decision to move on from the blog. Truly, deeply and sincerely we thank you for sharing your struggles, triumphs and daily details.
