Friends,
With deep sadness, and a broken heart I tell you that on December 29, 2012 at 7:30 am, Jillian Marie Hayes-Wagner completed her work here on Earth.
She was surrounded by family constantly during the last weeks here, and on her last day, just as I was here for her first breath of life, I was holding her hand telling her how much I love her as she took her last . Her husband Steve was also holding her,as he has never left her side.
Thank you all for the loving support you have shown us these last two years. They do make a difference.
The next few days will be busy making preparations for her Celebration of Life. We are entering a new beginning on Jillian's Journey with Melanoma- A Mother's Story.
More later.
Peace~
Prayers and love, Susan. I know she's in good company up above.

ReplyDeleteSo very sorry for your struggle and pain. So very thankful for Jillian's grace, your strength, the love you shared, and your willingness to provide your story as a gift to all of us. You will both remain in my heart - always.

It saddens me to see another vibrant young person taken too soon by Melanoma -- yes, we must continue to educate and bring awareness to honor Jillian's life and Amy's life and ... countless others. Susan, I thought is was tough when I was diagnosed with melanoma 3 years ago, but my 25 year old is currently undergoing chemotherapy for Hodgkins and from one mother's heart to another, I feel so deeply for your loss ... Steve, you sound like a remarkable person who understands at a young age what is truly important in life -- I'm sorry you didn't get to keep Jillian in your life longer, but you may have experienced a love that some people never find in a lifetime. Blessings to all of you from Idaho.
Susan,
ReplyDeleteYo and I were in tears last night when we found out what has happened. Please know that we are praying for you all. May the Lord's comfort surround you and in His arms may you find peace.
