Hirsches,
I still try to find the time to check in on the website and read your updates a few times a week. Each time, I find myself in tears, sharing in your pain and hoping that you are all finding some way to cope and get through the day ahead of you. While I haven't had the time (or the words) to write lately, I'm constantly finding reminders of Jacquie everywhere, everyday: not even when I'm especially sad or down about missing her...but she's always there, when you least expect it, she knows you need her. Whether it's a Tinkerbell picture, a random memory that pops in my head, or looking down at my bracelet. I think we all need those little reminders that Jax is still here with us, even though it might not seem like it all the time. Please know that you are all constantly on my mind and in my prayers.

I keep Jacquie's "Life" poem on my desk and her belief quote from her senior will taped on my mirror but as my own life has gotten more and more stressful, I find myself taking less time each day to look at these and really read them. And now is the time more than ever when I need them. When I do take the time, like tonight, to slow down and read everything and truly appreciate Jacquie's words, I break down. So thank you Jax for those little reminders and your words of wisdom. I need them and please keep them coming, to all of us!!!

Miss & love you Jax.
Always Believing...<3

Hello all,

Last week, I received an email at work about a little girl from the Rochester, NY area who was diagnosed with ALL. The email is asking for people to send cards to Anna and her family. I thought everyone who checks this website would help with this.

To learn more about Anna, her family, and her fight go to:

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/annamckinney

Address to send Anna and her family a card:

Anna McKinney Family

c/o Joan Thompson

401 Pebbleview Drive

Rochester, NY 14612

I don't know this little girl, but I'm sure she and her family could use all the support they can get.

Always believing and missing you Jax!!

i open this page to leave a comment about twice a day i think, and only occasionally do i actually leave one. The things that people write on here are so eloquent and beautiful, even the short little posts. i try so hard to be like that, to make my words sound so perfectly matched together, but it just ends up sounding choppy and sad. but today i'm going to post something regardless of how it sounds. i miss you jax. i know that we were not best friends, and that i didn't see you every single day like many people who wrote on this site did. but i do miss you. i miss the smile that your parents got on their faces when you were in town, or had simply called to talk that day. i miss reading the updates about your health only to find that you were doing so well! it always made my day brighter. i miss your spirit and your bright shining smile. it's not whole here without you anymore. i am so proud of the way that you fought jax, and i look for strength from you every single day. thank you for looking over me the way that you have been doing...i don't think i would have made it this far without you. i love you, and i miss you every single day. love, megan <3

Jennifer Warnes - 2009-10-22 11:24:23

Hi Torey, Sharon, and TJ,

Haven't seen you all in a while. I wanted to tell you that I think about you and include you and Jacquie in my prayers with Jillian every night. You are all in our hearts.

Love and Blessings,

Jennifer

Casey Stiokas - 2009-10-20 14:54:56

I have a picture of Jacquie that I see whenever I sit down at my desk. It hangs right behind my computer, and it is impossible to miss. The past few weeks I have been so busy, I have not taken the time to stop and look at it and remember. I finally did that today, and it brought tears to my eyes. As the days pass, I forget to take the time to stop and take everything in, but Jax reminds me to do that. Even after life, she continues to remind us to stop and take time to appreciate all that is good in life. Much love to you Hirsch's. God bless,

Casey

- 2009-10-19 00:50:59

Jax I miss you so very much. We shared such a special relationship that I will never share with anyone else on earth. I am proud to be your Dad and you my only daughter. I will love you forever.

- 2009-10-18 20:27:21

Jax, I know each and every day that you are with me, because when I ask you for help everything becomes easier. I am so grateful for that, and you are so giving and I love you for that. Thankyou Jacquie, thankyou.

Tory, Sharon and TJ, Jacquie is still very much in our hearts and our wonderful memories. We spent the evening in Hoboken at the "Light the Night' walk for Lukemia/Lymphoma research. You are often in our thoughts and prayers. All our love, Michele and Raphael Feldman.

alicia - 2009-10-09 22:15:04

thinking how unfair it is. and how much we miss you and how much better off we'd be if you were here, but how blessed we are to just have had you for even a little bit.

i love you jac, i miss you so much.

Hi Hirsch Family! My name is Kayla and I went to your Clinic this month for gymnastics! I really had fun and learned alot from it and I am so glad that so much money was raised for it! I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss and I bet Jacquie was an amazing person! I just want to wish you all the best with everything!

cmd - 2009-10-09 13:16:25

What a great article on TJ in Business First. It made me cry to know how much more it would mean to you all if Jacquie were here.

TJ- It is amazing how much you do. You are such a good son and brother. I pray that you continue to be successful in your business ventures.

Kim - 2009-10-07 13:23:21

Hello Hirsch Family,

I am so sorry I have not been able to make the many events that have been going on, I have been travling the west coast for work. Please know I am with you everyday! I am not a huge fan of flying so Jax angel medallion has been clinched in my fist alot lately. She has done a great job getting to where i have to go safely. I also wanted to let you know that Billy has started his journey back to Germany from Iraq! Yay! He will be home for the holidays. We miss you all so much! I will be talking to you soon.

Always Beleiving!!!!!

Hi Sharon,
I can't imagine how hard this is for you. I wish I could take some of your pain away. Please let me/any of the girls know if there is anything we can do.

Still believing,

Melissa Lewis - 2009-10-02 12:58:53

Jacquie,

As a weekend full of events in honor of your beautiful life is about to begin, I can't help but feel a little sad. Sad that you aren't here with us to celebrate your life and your fight, to keep looking for a cure, and just to be here. I'm sure a couple of tears will fall from all of us at the events, but many more smiles will be showing in remembering you and continuing towards your goals.

Hirschs,

I know there are no words to make it any better. I send you strength everyday.

Love you all!

aunt val - 2009-10-01 19:17:56

i love you dear girl and i grieve for all your family

Maryanne Heiman - 2009-09-30 21:27:48

Hey Jax,

There have been so many things that have reminded me of you this past month. I was down in Geneseo this past weekend for alumni, and I couldn't help but get choked up at the I.B. because that place reminds me of you so damn much. I will forever have a picture of you and your beautiful blonde hair serving me and Jen G. big buds in the PIGS corner. I had to snap out of it and dance on the risers to make you proud.

This weekend is your first "Jamming for Jax" event and it's a been hectic week trying to make sure everything's ready for Saturday. I am soo nervous- I just want it to be perfect, how you would've wanted it. But I know the soco shots will be flowing in your memory and that a ton of will people show up-- man I really miss you.

At Geneseo for your one year anniversary candle pass, the current president read the letter you wrote for the SDTs that was read at a chapter meeting. I finally got my hands on a copy and I think I must have read it over 20 times already. I didn't know you finally got around to writing a senior will--haha. You just always had so much grace and elegance- I miss that. I just hope you can see how many people still love you and care about you and miss you.

I guess I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking about you always and there are so many times throughout the school day when a student of mine is just getting on my nerves or I am overwhelmed with all that I have to do, that I just stop and think about how life IS unexpected and we need to appreciate the here and now.

My precious little life partner, I love you and miss you and keep your memory so so close always.

-MA

Sharon, Torey & TJ,
Just stopping by to send you Love, Friendship & Prayers. We had our first meet yesterday and, Sharon I was thinking of you and some of the things you used to tell me the whole time. I miss you!
Always BELIEVING in Jacquie & her Beautiful Spirit!
Your Friend,
Jill

Sue P - 2009-09-29 13:49:50

Sharon (& family): I can't imagine how difficult every day must be for you but I have to believe in my heart that Jacquie is still right here beside us and some days I truly feel that way. Just these past two days I saw tinkerbell looking straight at me on three different vehicles & I smiled for once instead of crying. Always in my thoughts.

- 2009-09-28 16:10:33

Jacquie--I am really doing it!!! I'm going to quit my job and start the business that I want to start!!! It's a huge risk--and a scary thought that it might fail--but if I don't go out on a limb, I'll never know--and life will always be mediocre...second rate...

That's not what you taught us, right? Know that you are the force driving me to take a chance and to make my dreams reality.

Huer - 2009-09-27 20:35:42

Hi!

Today's was my cousin Domenica's family birthday party...and I wanted to write to you to tell you that my sister and I picked out matching vera patterns when we were celebrating Jacquie's life on the 6th, that day we also decided to get one for Domenica and save it for her birthday. Today I got to give it to her. As she was opening it I couldn't help but to cry, and then I explained to her that we picked it out because Jacquie LOVED vera and we wanted to remember her always... Domenica thanked me and then told me that they are having her friends Birthday party at the gym! And my Aunt said they want to put the Jacquie braclets in each goodie bag (of course I cried alittle more).

I just wanted to share this with you to let you know how even the littlest kids who only meet Jax a few times still think of her and will always remember her!

I love you!!

xoxo

& I fogot, I found this quote that I absolutley loved, and here it is

"You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her only that she is gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.�

- 2009-09-27 15:19:31

Never give up, keep your head high, and know that Jacquie is looking down and is proud to see how an amzing mother you are Sharon. I admire you in so many ways, and I want you to know that you are the strongest person I know, and I know you can keep going.

Always Believing,

Natalie Maranto

Sara (albuquerque) - 2009-09-26 19:53:08

Hi Sharon and Jacquie too,

I was planning to walk again in the Albuquerque Light the Night event that takes place tonight. I am sorry, I just could not. I should have been able too, but lately the tears, the sad, the anger, are pouring out and similar to what you wrote, Sharon, in your note...I wish we never had to be doing these things for Jacquie and certainly not without her. Maybe next year. I am at the event in spirit but just could not walk this year. I can't explain it and have it sound right...

Jacquie your foundation is a wonderful resource, I do believe in all it is doing! You are missed.

Thinking of the Hirsch 4 and your entire family.

Wendy V - 2009-09-25 21:21:41

Beautiful Jacquie - give your Mom a sign. She's so sad.

Jax,

I DID IT!!! i finally got my iron up and was able to donate today. I was so scared i am terrified of everything that has to do with needles. but i had to do this. I walked out of the room crying and my mom was like oh no was it not high enough? and i said no its perfect! and she was like well why are you crying!? i was crying because i was so happy. The entire time there i was thinking of you and how dumb it was for me to be scared and how brave you always had to be and obviously we talked about you the entire time. they ladies all said i did a great job...but then i almost fainted at the end and i had to breathe into a paper bag twice hahah they just called me a rookie.

i left feeling wonderful and plan on going back when my 56 days is up. thanks for giving me the strength to do this <3

love you and miss you always,

Whitney

aunt val - 2009-09-25 14:56:53

i am so incredibly angry again.

Brinabear - 2009-09-25 13:30:36

Jax,

I can't believe how long its been since Ive seen that smile, heard you laugh or quoted dumb and dumber with you but I feel like Im missing it more and more every day. Every memory I have from fights where we sleep in cars to being put into a food coma make me laugh uncontrollably until I remember that I cant call you and tell you Im thinking about you. Then I think about how your up there laughing and eating at the all you can eat buffet and how your watching over all of us happier than ever.

Missing you Mom

Nick Minunni - 2009-09-24 15:21:01

First and foremost I just want to send my best wishes to everyone here. It is such an amazing community of support for anyone who visits this website, to know that there are so many people that are praying for the Hirsch's and everyone else who needs some help.

For anyone downstate who wants to participate in Light the Night in Nyack, on October 17th, Pauline has team and would love for you to join. You can find more information in the events page for October 17th. We had a lot of people in our group last year and hope you can join us again this year.

Casey Stiokas - 2009-09-24 09:41:06

Jax,

I was at School 42 on Tuesday to do some observations for grad work, and let me tell you, I heard a lot of stories about your kids:) They have not changed much since kindergarten and are still the terrors of the school. I would say, the most feared class in there right now! And, as always, Kim had a little one sent to her room for the day because he was naughty in his room and I got to keep him busy after his work was done. I thought about you the entire time I was with him, how you would have loved him and known just what to do when he got angry or scared. Thanks for being with me that day to help me with little Aiden:) Always missing you,

Casey

megan d - 2009-09-23 16:16:05

i check up on this page a lot, but recently, i've been checking it a lot more. for some reason, i'm having a hard time with college. everyone else is out having fun, but i can't seem to enjoy it.
every single time i get sad, or i think that this is too hard, i come to this website, and read all the beautiful things that people post, and a lot of the old entries. I usually find myself crying after about three minutes, but i'm reminded of how incredible you were and still are jacquie.

Your time here on earth was short lived- and wrongfully so. But your strength, and your ability to persevere is still so incredible to me. Your ability to laugh at a time when it seemed there was nothing to laugh about, your ability to maintain a positive attitude, and how damn hard you fought...i'm still at a loss for words. Whenever i need a little pick me up, or a reminder to be strong, all i need to do is come to this website- this place dedicated to you. I think for a lot of people, i know at least for me, this place has become a safe haven. A place i can go where its okay to cry, and be angry and upset, but it also reminds me to be strong, and to love every single day that is given to me.

thank you for being such an incredible teach; then, now and forever. i miss you and i love you, and again i cannot thank you enough.

always believing,
megan <3

Huer - 2009-09-23 14:15:29

Hi!!!

I am writing because sadly, I am not able to make it to Light the Night on Friday. I am going to the Hope for Tomorrow Fundraiser...it helps to send a team of doctors all over the world to help people (mainly children) with their surgical needs.

My Uncle and Dad bought a couple of tables so we are getting dressed up and heading there for the night...I know Jacquie would approve!! And I will be thinking of her and you guys the whole night!!

Have a great time at Light the Night!!

love you!! xoxo

jax, everytime i need a little motivation or something to help get me to focus i log on and read all the updates and everyones messages. i especially like going to back to update that you wrote or the first few pages of the messages in your guestbook. usually they make me happy but sometimes they make me sad. you faught so hard and we all believed so hard and still and always will believe. i guess its just hard for me to understand why god has to take such wonderful people when there are plenty of bad ones still here. i know thats something i may never know the answer too, but i cant help but wonder. you are an incredible person jacquie and you continue to inspire people everyday. we miss you terribly but keep you with us in everything we do. not a day goes by that you and your amazing family are not in our thoughts. <3

love you all

<3 Whit

- 2009-09-19 00:24:14

jacquie,
i think about you so much and i hope that you realize what an amazing impact you have left on everyone who knew you. in fact, you have left such an impression that even the people who have never met you are amazed by you. you continue to inspire me to be a better person everyday and are a constant strength in my heart. as i journey on to new things in my life, i will always look up to see your spirit, watching above me. please look over your family, as they especially need signs from you to help them through the day. i will always BELIEVE.

Casey Stiokas - 2009-09-18 14:19:57

Jax,

The Moore family could really use a little bit of Tink dust, especially tomorrow. I know you always come through for us:) Make sure Mr. Moore knows how much we miss him. Dad and I are still throwing our "eeks!" every day and each time I drive through Geneseo, I think of all the laughs we had on our car rides to and from school and I can't help but get a big smile:)

- 2009-09-17 15:13:51

hey jax, i haven't written in a few days, but i just wanted to let you know that i miss you a whole bunch lately.

i need to ask a favor of you. a good friend of mine..he's going through a really hard time. he needs some strength, and some tinkerbell magic. if you could just watch over him, and make sure that he knows he is loved and cared for by so many, i would really appreciate it. i know its a lot to ask, but not everyone has your incredible strength, or the ability to love life at all times to way you did.

i love you darling. i will always believe<3

- 2009-09-17 14:57:36

Jac,

I know that I don't post on your page often, but lately I've found the need to do so more than ever. I'm not naive enough to think that you follow my every move from Heaven, however, I'd like to think that perhaps you keep up with my life in some capacity. If that is the case - and I like to believe it to be true - the reason why I'm writing this message is because I'd like to apologize to you for some of the things that I've done and decisions that I've made in my life recently. I've always valued your opinion moreso than anyone else's and I still always try to consider how you would feel about the things that I do and the decisions that I make and I feel that you would be unhappy with me lately. Please understand that I'm still trying to find my way in the world and I'm somewhat lost at the moment. I promise to try to lead my life in a better way in the future and I hope that I continue to make you proud of me.

Sara (albuquerque) - 2009-09-15 01:14:56

Sharon, Jacquie, Torey and TJ,

The words I want to say will not come out and I know that is ok with you.
Still with you, always trying really hard to keep believing and sending every bit of extra breaths I can...to you.
I pause and soak in every rainbow that shine over the mountains because I know it is Jacquies way of guiding us.
TJ- best of success with your business plans. You will be more than successful. You have a wonderful family to stand with you.

Love, Sara

Jill wierzba - 2009-09-11 12:25:36

Hello Torey, Sharon, TJ & All who read Jacquie's amazing guestbook,

Just wanted to let everyone know that this past weekend my partner, Russell, donated his beautiful long locks... 19 inches of hair! Through Pantene Beautiful Lengths.

We run a Kid's Tent every Labor Day weekend in Turin, NY (outside Syracuse) at a music Festival called moe.down

The first-ever moe.down hair event for the Pantene Beautiful Lengths charity was a HUGE success. Here are just some of the statistics: 33 people got their hair cut at moe.down, and 3 anonymous donations were received. Total inches of hair cut: 363.25! Jen Ryan gave the longest donation of 19.5 inches, followed by Russell Knoche from the Kids' Tent staff with 19 inches.

I also had the opportunity to meet a wonderful family, The Poynters & their presious little girl Maddie. Maddie, who is one of our Kid's Tent Kids was diagnosed on June 20th with Nephroblastoma, stage 4 cancer in her kidney and lung and stage 3 cancer in her abdomen.

For more information about Maddie & her brave battle with cancer please go to Maddie's website at: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/madelinefinleypoynter

I know Maddie's family could use some love & support during this difficult time.

To Torey, Sharon & TJ,
I think of you all every day and I pray for peace for all three of you. Jacquie will always have a special place in my heart & my prayers. I love you all!
Your Friend,
Jill

Liz Fassl - 2009-09-11 12:02:13

I just read Ashley's post and I guess Sandra's words about anniversaries really stuck with both of us. On the 6th I thought about going to church or spending the day in bed alone being sad but then I thought Jacquie wouldn't have done either of those things. I decided that I would do something that my brace would approve of.

When Sandra and Ash came to visit me over a year ago they brought me a bottle of wine from Jacquie's benefit at Andiamo. I hadn't touched it because just looking at it made me sad. Sad because I wasn't there and sad because now Jacquie isn't here. On the 6th I decided I was going to drink it and think about all the good times with Jacquie as I took each sip. On that Sunday I drank that bottle of wine, ordered pizza for lunch, made a delicious dinner, read a card from my best friend, watched some good TV and spent time with someone I cared about.

When the day was over I knew Jacquie would have approved. I now know that when Sept 6th comes around I will try to make it special and always keep Jacquie in mind.

Still Believing,

Liz (Brace)
