On January 5th, 2011, Lily was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital because she was experiencing pain in her legs and back. A week later and after what felt like a million tests, scans and biopsies, we had a diagnosis: she has a soft tissue tumor called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A PET scan revealed a small tumor in her foot that was not apparent from the outside; it was not until the cancer had already spread to her bone marrow that she experienced any symptoms. This came as a total shock to everyone as Lily has always been healthy, active and full of energy. We love our darling girl and her sweet, happy, loving spirit. This website is for friends and family to stay connected during this difficult time.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart. ~ Helen Keller

I continue to be amazed at the thoughtful loving kindness of others.  So many people have reached out to help or to show that they care. You know who you are! All I can do is say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have to echo Alicia's gratitude. I'll never forget coming home from the hospital that first day. It was late, I was so drained and sad. I walked into the kitchen and found gifts, goodies and so many cards, when I looked in the refigerator I realized someone had brought our family dinner. It was so overwhelming, all I could do was sit down and cry. The meals continued weeks, (until I requested them to stop) It was so helpful! Our ward has been wonderful, thank you my dear sisters and friends. Also the prayers, meals, and gifts from family members are to numerous to list, we love you all! We are so blessed to have so much love and support. Thank you
