Tuesday, April 30, 2002 -- 13:19:15 (EDT) Name: Anne Adams -- Email: doyleyad@stolaf.edu Location: Northfield, MN USA Tuesday, April 30, 2002 -- 11:33:39 (EDT) Name: Bonnie -- Email: bmarquis@umich.edu I had SO MUCH fun with you last week! I know it's been a while since I had last seen you, but you really impressed me with how SMART you are - and now that I've had a chance to read your Simon Says page, well I"m rather overwhelmed! I'm so glad your Mom showed me this web site - Now that I know where to find you I will check it often! I hope you are feeling okay after your chemo and although I'll be out of town next week and unable to check your site, I will be thinking and praying for you. You have lots and lots of love coming your way! Say hi to your sister for me :) Monday, April 29, 2002 -- 22:24:30 (EDT) Name: Tatiana -- Email: apocsatko@msn.com Location: Saline, MI USA I have not written for a while, but I constantly pray for you. I work at Family Housing, which is very close to you house. I talked to Carla, your "Community Aid", and she told me that you are neighbors. Carla and her husband are from Brazil, and so am I. Carla said that she will take me to visit you one of these days. May I? I would love to! Simon, I am sending your web site to Brazil. I hope they will send you messages besides praying for you. I will ask my Brazilian friends to mentalize your Neuroblastoma melting and dissolving like sugar in water. Have a nice sleep, have sweet dreams, and wake up tomorrow full or energy and faith in God's healing power. Love, Tatiana Monday, April 29, 2002 -- 16:18:54 (EDT) Name: Lawrie Location: Seattle, WA I love you Simon and your whole family.

Thank you for inviting me to come check out the pediatric infusion room. My favorite part was the glass ceiling, where you could look out and see the sky! My second favorite part was watching Simon draw. You are right Simon, you are an excellent artist! Take care, Penny Thursday, April 25, 2002 -- 11:49:04 (EDT) Name: Lindsay Gross -- Email: llg@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan Simon: Whenever I pick up ladybugs they pee on me (giggling). Me: Why do you think they do that? Simon: They must think I'm a toilet! Thursday, April 25, 2002 -- 00:07:10 (EDT) Name: Sally Olson Location: Seattle, WA Tomorrow is Sarah's birthday so I'm busy tonight making cupcakes and wrapping presents. It'll be a fun day. You have a birthday pretty soon, too, Simon! Yay! Well, as always, I'm sending lots and lots of LOVE from all of us.

I just love the website you have, especially all of the really cool pictures you have posted. I went to the animal websites too and I decided that I have a new favorite animal: the spotted hyena! I wonder if you saw any at the zoo yesterday... Anywho, I'm really glad I was able to meet the two of you. I'm a teacher and I told my students all about you, so hopefully they will visit your website soon too! In the meantime, I'll be thinking about you... Jen ps. simon, do you know where I can find such a cool pair of super duper flashy shoes like yours? Tuesday, April 23, 2002 -- 11:30:17 (EDT) Name: Jane Stepnitz Tuesday, April 23, 2002 -- 10:27:48 (EDT) Name: Irene Judmayer -- Email: i.judmayer Location: Linz, Austria Upperaustria I'm living in the town where your greatgrandmother, the Mum of your Stuttgart Grandfather is living. This city is called Linz and lies on a river called "The Danube". Three weeks ago the river was in flood. In front of my house (it has four floors and I live in the 4th one) it was like living nearby the seaside with big waves and doves all around. Some Ducks have been swimming on the soccer-ground and I think Father Duck was really Offside all the time. He certainly has to get the "red card" for breaking all rules. Even the Halfpipe for the Skaters has been flooded, so the boys and girls better went windsurfing than skating. Dear Simon! I send you lots of good energy and good hopes.

She is one talented lady. I just saw them on the web site. We are going to Bolivia this week to see our grandchildren, Sarah and Jacob. We will send you a card from Bolivia. Bolivia is a long long long way from Oberlin and Ann Arbor. We think of you both and your Mom and Dad a lot . Love, Nana Dina and Goodie Dick Sunday, April 21, 2002 -- 21:27:42 (EDT) Name: Julie Steiff -- Email: jsteiff@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI USA Dear Mary, Markus, Simon & Miriam: Haven't seen you in a while, but I wanted to let you know I've been thinking about you all and visiting this marvelous web site. What a wonderful way to bring people together. I'm very impressed--and touched! Thank you for providing such a good way for us to follow Simon's progress. Sunday, April 21, 2002 -- 11:48:40 (EDT) Name: Beverly Davidson -- Email: bevdav123@aol.com Location: Ann Arbor, MI USA This is Beverly, Amelia's Muime...Linda told me about your website so I visited there today. Last time I saw you, you showed me some of your yoga poses, and Amelia and I tried them later that day. She laughed and laughed because she kept falling over, and so did I! My prayers are with you, Simon. See you at Linda's real soon.

Über einen Gruß aus AMerica würde sie sich ganz toll freuen herzliche grüße Julia (und ihre Mama CHristiane) mamahema@hema-marx.de) Wednesday, April 17, 2002 -- 12:03:15 (EDT) Name: Keven -- Email: burchk@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI The recent Simon Says entry "The Smell of Breakfast Wafting Up the Stairs" it reminded me of my daughter's favorite poem when she was a little girl. The poem is taken from the book, "Where the Sidewalk Ends" by Shel Silverstein. Maybe you have have this book or you can just imagine the illustration of a gigantic stack of pancakes. Here is the poem: "Who wants a pancake sweet and piping hot? Good little Grace looks up and says, "I'll take the one on top." Who else wants a pancake fresh off the griddle? Terrible Theresa smiles and says, "I'll take the one in the middle." I bet you and Miriam are like Good little Grace. Am I correct? Hugs for you, Miriam and Mom and Dad. Wednesday, April 17, 2002 -- 00:44:54 (EDT) Name: annette Location: oakland, Mary, Markus, I really enjoyed the Hope sermon you attached under the Cancer Link page. That was a very thoughtful piece of work and puts into perspective what Hope really is. I think the most amazing depiction of HOPE I've ever seen was from the Human Rights workers in El Salvador in the early 90's when Liddy was living and working there. I couldn't believe that these people could hold onto their hope after what they had been through, killings in their immediate families and even after experiencing that putting themselves in potential harms way by working in these human rights organizations taking down first hand accounts of atrocities and for which they were often targeted for further terror. They were some of the most grounded people I've ever met. They understood hope in ways I couldn't imagine. Thanks for sharing that sermon with us. I had been wondering how the bulb garden was doing - nice to hear the update on the daffodils. Too bad you don't have spell check on here I'm such an addict. Think of you all often. Thanks again for all the work on the updates. It means a lot to us. Love, Annette Tuesday, April 16, 2002 -- 16:50:41 (EDT) Name: Keven -- Email: Burchk@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI I visited Simon's Place today for the first time in a long time and was so touched to see the impact that you are having on so many people near and far. It is wonderful that this tool is allowing you to give and receive so much love from around the world. Simon's Place reminds me of a beautiful patchwork quilt. Each word carefully stitched to hold together bright and unique pieces of fabric - the fabric of life. My prayer is that this quilt made with so many loving hands will serve to keep all of you safe, warm and protected.

Saturday, April 13, 2002 -- 22:17:08 (EDT) Name: Susan Hartman Your messages seem to be slower this week, so I'll send one. I've been enjoying your bright colors and messages on your web site ever since it started. I was glad to meet you on your walk to the toy store several weeks ago and in the library last week. It was good to see you feeling so lively the second time. I hope you and Miriam are having fun. Friday, April 12, 2002 -- 01:31:15 (EDT) Name: sally olson Location: Seattle, WA Sally, Jim, Sarah and Amy Monday, April 08, 2002 -- 17:51:12 (EDT) Name: Madi, Lexi, Curt and Lawrie Location: Seattle, WA Guess who we got to see, talk to and hug yesterday. . .? Your Gran and Grandad. It was really special to see them here in Seattle. We also saw and played with Aunt Betty, Uncle Fred, Mark, Denise and your other second cousins Nick, Sam and Owen. We talked and laughed about lots of things and when we talked about you and your family we all smiled because we love you guys all so much. Way to go Miriam! Peeing in the potty is big stuff!! We continue to hold you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Way to go! I am going to read more about this Lemon bath in the 'what's happening' section - it sounds FUN! Did you and Miriam enjoy it?!Eduardo and I stopped by your place on Easter Day, but you were not at home. We will stop by another time! It is always good to see you and your beautiful sister and mom and dad! Say Hello to them! We are praying for you. Carla and Eduardo Wednesday, April 03, 2002 -- 21:56:41 (EST) Name: Madi and Lexi -- Email: curtlawrie@earthlink.net Location: Seattle, We were reading about how you love your Lemon bath. We have never taken a lemon bath but, we do love baths for sure! "we like the fizzy ball things that go fizz and then disappear in the water some are blue and some are red" says Lexi. "I like to blow bubbles in the bath" says Madi "we play with pots and pans too". We are on our way to bathtime right now and are going to sqeeze some lemon juice in the tub and close our eyes and pretend you and Miriam are with us in the tub tonight. We love you all very much and continue to hold you in our thoughts and prayers. love Lexi and Madi (Lawrie and Curt too) Wednesday, April 03, 2002 -- 00:22:12 (EST) Name: Jim Olson -- Email: jolson@fhcrc.org Location: Seattle, WA USA I read your new treatment plan and it sounds like a winner! Looks like your mom, dad and doctors are making good choices for you. On Easter, we took Sarah and Amy to the beach by our house & they played. We also played in the garden and picked carrots, salad greens, spinach, and spices for our Easter dinner. We are all very excited for Spring and Summer. I've been learning to sail like your Grandpa Norm, but last time we went we tipped the boat over - brrrrr! All my love. Jim Olson Tuesday, April 02, 2002 -- 19:57:56 (EST) Name: Gari Stein Tuesday, April 02, 2002 -- 01:47:53 (EST) Name: Rachel and Noah Obstfeld -- Email: ppimarcie@aol.com Location: Irvine, CA USA Love, Rachel and Noah Obstfeld Tuesday, April 02, 2002 -- 00:04:59 (EST) Name: annette williams Location: oakland, ca I love reading about all the things you say. They must have named that game "Simon says" after you because you are so wise. We saw the picture of your family celebrating your dad's job offer but no one has told us what the job is or where it is. Will he be a garbage collector in timbucktoo or a dancer in Las Vegas or a boatman on the Colorado River or a berry picker in Chile. What do you think he should do? We love you and yearn for your recovery.
