Hi Jimmy, Hope you are feeling better. We had a fall festival at our church/school last weekend and they had this singer,
Erin O'Donnell, who grew up around here, perform. She does country/christian music. She talked about a time in her life when
things were really difficult and she was having a hard time keeping the faith. Her husband wrote this beautiful song for her
about how God is always listening to us and how He hears every word. As I sat there, I was thinking of you and of all the
people, literally around the world, praying for you. God is listening, Jimmy. Take strength from that. I then, of course being
a good McGann, needed about 3 kleenex!! We love and miss you tons!! Aunt Sharon, Uncle Sully, Christine and Charlie xoxoxoxo |

Hi Jimmy – I am so inspired and impressed by the positive way that you have chosen to deal with your journey. I know that
this is a very old corny expression but I think it is one of my favorites because it is so corny: ‘if life throws lemons at
you, you have a choice - you can either make lemonade or let them go sour.’ No doubt you are definitely making truckloads
of lemonade to share with your amazing family and friends but you are also touching people who you have never met. My positive
thoughts and prayers are with you for continued good news,
Becky

Hey, Jimmy! I read the transcript of Norman Cousins talk on Positive Emotions and Health. I thought it was great. Especially
when he describes how a person who lives a life of HOPE and FAITH is able to beat the most terrible of diseases and how he
also explains that the power of a persons 'Will to Live' can beat all odds. Truly amazing...and you're doing it! Keep it
up, you're doing great! Sending you all of our love and prayers,

this IS NOT the norm. today we're back in the 40's and it's chilly. chicago had the same stuff last week so it really wasn't
much different here. i hope the new treatment isn't too hard on you. i think of you often and i hope your family's all well.

Hi Jimmy,
One of my best friend's mother just found out she has cancer throughout her body. As I was writing to her, I remember Norman
Cousins who taught at UCLA who healed himself of a serious disease(I think it was cancer) with laughter and positive emotion.
Below is a link to an article that I think you might find interesting. Hope you are doing well.
Sincere,

Jimmy, I must admit I have become such a junkie about signing on and reading your guestbook. It just amazes me that through
your battle with cancer you have united so many of us across the country (and as I say, our bleacher section in heaven filled
with loving family and friends)in faith and prayer. All of these positive thoughts and prayers are NOT going unheard. They
certainly inspire me to believe in the goodness of people and I have to think God is damn impressed! We will all keep the
prayers coming and to steal a line from Obama, "Yes, We Can!". We can help you beat this and you will. Don't stop fighting
and more importantly, Don't Stop Believing! Love you tons xo |

about the Batman part!) and I bet everyone who knows you would agree, too. I hope you can take how we all feel about you and
use it to keep on fighting like heck against this and WIN!! You will put Batman to shame!! We are thinking of you, sending

as HE is busy hearing all our prayers for you. Please just know that you are in all our thoughts and all of our prayers.

hey jimmy, scott and i are in rochester! we have a little place here and it's so nice getting away from the big city once
in a while. chicago's cool but it's constantly noisy. the best noise however comes from davis and maeve, our two grandkids.
davis is two and maeve is seven months. i'll send some pictures off to your dad so your family can sort of "meet" them.
they went trick or treating and at the end of one block davis looked at his mom and said "davis stroller now, ok?" he had
a ball but was very tired. then sarah ditched all the candy since he really doesn't eat candy yet. my question is this...what
about the grandma?????? i hate to see a good piece of candy go to waste, especially if it combines chocolate and caramel!
one of my best friends tumor markers just went up and she's going in today for her pet scan results from friday. this battle
is certainly a roller coaster for both of you. just hang on and i have faith that you both will be done soon. just wanted
to let you know that i think of you often jimmy! you are in my prayers and will remain there. take good care pal and say
"hi" to your family. |

Hey, Jimmy! We're glad to see you're back on-line. Happy Halloween! In your honor we held our first annual twinkie eating
contest. No better day than Halloween to see who could devour a twinkie the fastest. The family record (in Florida) went
to Uncle Sully at an unbelievable 28 seconds (from first bite to last swallow). Uncle Win came in 2nd place at 30 seconds,
Aunt Regina in 3rd place at 38 seconds (it was much more difficult than I thought), Aunt Sharon and Christine tied for 4th
place at 55 seconds. Jack and Nicholas were unable to finish the contest (some talk that their twinkies weren't fresh?!?)
and Charlie opted to pass (smart man).
Let us know how we compare to the Colorado family record.
Hope you are hanging in there. Our prayers and thoughts are with you every second of every day. We love you and know all
of our prayers will be answered.
Big Hugs and Kisses,

but maybe Kanye was right, "Whatever don't kill you, only makes you stronger." I know for a fact that you will be able to
beat this because if I learned anything at all from time with you it is that never give up. I hope you are getting better
everyday and if you need someone to talk to give me a call. Love ya, bro and know that we are all backing you up. Peace.

Hi Jimmy, I should have written awhile ago, but I myself have been fighting my battle, with tons of friends and family and
strangers praying for me also. So I am praying for you as well, and hope you find some comfort in that. I found that praying
to St Perrigrine gave me stength, he helped me. I hope you received your prayer card and medal. I am Deb and Scott
Davis's friend from Milwaukee. All we can really do for ourselves is have a positive attitude(which I know is really hard
sometimes) and pray pray pray. I couldn't imagine going through what I did without family and friends, you are as lucky as
I am in that department. We just have to keep plugging along don't we. I will continue sending prayers your way, good luck

hey jimmy-we were all in denver this past weekend and as we suspected we loved being back. scott and i looked at property
and sarah and andrew looked at houses in stapleton. they are putting their condo in chicago on the market in january and
i'm sure that scott and i will be right behind them. we really can't wait to get back! sarah's a little afraid to be in
the same city as your dad since he's such a prankster and she experienced his evil ways first hand. while in denver we all
thought about you a lot. actually, we think about you while in chicago too! our thoughts are positive since we know that
you are going to beat this and hopefully the next time we're in town you'll be back at gonzaga enjoying school. you have
so many people who don't even know you sending thoughts and prayers...you will come out a winner. sending love! |

you are in our prayers everyday.
A Prayer for You
I said a prayer for you today,
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame,
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.
Keep up the fight!!!

Today in my email, I received an update about you from Mrs. Rattleade in Fairport. Two weeks ago while I was out to dinner
with mutual friends of your Aunt Shelia, I heard that you were diagnosed with cancer. I received the email update for my
prayers although I had no idea how you were doing or what type of cancer you had. We would know the true power of prayer
as we had so many people praying for our son Wes when he was diagnosed with cancer. Danny and he were in the same class at
St. John of Rochester. Bridgett and Nina were in the same class as well.
I just wanted to say that I loved your journal and the photos of your family. It was nice to see how you guys have grown up!
We kept a journal (old fashioned way in a book though) that seemed to help us get through it and keep us sane. Looks as
if you have caring doctors, family and a strong support system. That's so important. Our family will continue to pray for
your strength (your family) and full recovery. Please say hello to your mom for me. Our prayers are with you.
God Bless. Sue Lackey and family (Fairport, NY)

Hi Jimmy,
One of my dearest friends from Denver, Kim Poletto, forwarded an email from your mom to me. I don't know if you know Kim personally
or if he was just included in the email because he is a deeply spiritual and amazing man. Regardless, he has connected us.
Please know that I will add you to my daily prayers. I also want to direct you to www.perelandra-ltd.com. There is a wealth
of information there resulting from the work of Machaelle Small Wright who has worked with Nature for about 30 years. Part
of her work has resulted in the creation of flower essences that help bring balance to the body's electrical system. I have
recently started using the essenses and have found them to be amazing. I don't know if this is something in which you would
be interested, but I wanted to pass it on just in case.

Hi Jimmy,
Although Aunt Phyllis and I are not much for writing we have certainly been following up on you thanks to your Mom's updates
and of course updates from your grandmother who I see and speak with quite often. Have really enjoyed your website. Did you
set it up yourself? Not a lot new here in Rochester except for getting things outside ready for winter. They are predicting
a little snow for us this week. Jimmy we are sorry to hear that you will be going into what I guess might be called extra
innings with your treatments but we're sure you will do fine especially with all the great family and friends support you
have. Our love to you and all your family and be assured we will continue to have you in our prayers. Will try to do better
and write again before to long. |

Hi. It is us again. We are reading between the lines. We think your mom just gave all of us permission to eat Twinkies
or any other junk food for dinner...as long as we eat it fast!! The kids think that is a great idea!!! The Martens family
will be serving hot fudge sundaes for dinner tonight, in honor of you. Do you know how many of your fans are going to have
belly aches tonight? We are all in this together and won't let you down! Love you. |

Twinkies, Ho Ho, Yodels...nooooo, chocolate is more my game. I just ate a bag of Milky Ways in your honor...the Trick or
Treaters weren't fast enough, it's pennies for them this year.
Anyway, we're pissed and hope you are too. Time to get out the boxing gloves and knock the you-know-what out of this cancer.
We're right behind you and surrounding you with all of our love and prayers. Never stop...
Big hugs and kisses,

P.S. We'll get Jack and Nicholas on the Twinkies tomorrow. |

My dinner tonite consisted of a box of twinkies and a stop watch. Life was good until I swallowed the stop watch.
I still think the Ritz crackers with peanut butter was more of a challenge even before your dad would add the Tabasco at 2am.

Jimmy, so glad to hear that you had the chance to go back to Gonzaga and visit. You must have had a blast and can't wait
to hear about the adventure. We visited Nick this weekend at UT and he talked lots about you and is waiting for the day that
he can have you fly out to Knoxville and spend some time with him. All of us here at the Z house are thinking about you and
praying for your rapid recovery. God Bless you Jimmy and looking forward to seeing you again shortly. |

Tell your Dad that the homely girl he use to pretend he did not know on the bus to St Agnes Elementary school is also sending
lots of prayers your way.
Your Aunt KAthleen and I have been friends since we were 10 years old and I live in Medfield Ma..about 10 minutes away from
her. I love her a lot and as you know, she is a fabulous person. Cant say the same for your Dad who ignored me, even though
I was at his home almost every day!!
My family will keep you in our prayers.
Give my best to your mom and dad...

Don't get down. Think positive. Keep your faith. We will pray harder this time. Everyone who knows and loves you must
pray three or four times more for you. This will cure you. Remember, we all love you and try to be as strong as you are.
You are a great inspiration to all of us. Keep smiling! Love, Mike & Donna |

already. I just take lessons and stare at a pretty Peruvian woman.
Hey, the JETS just blow... Favre is older than me and looks terrible in green. Why don't you come over to the BIG BLUE SIDE??

hey jimmy, things sound great! scott has been keeping up with your accomplishments by talking to your dad. we think about
you so often and i can't even begin to tell you how many people are praying for you. it's catchy, you know...we're all in
this game of like together and when someone needs help we all try to make a difference. my good friend kathy has just completed
her last round of chemo and i was in milwaukee to celebrate the day with her. we high fived each other as we walked out of
the hospital and we were ready to enjoy the endless possibilities ahead of her. that's the amazing thing about going through
something like this. nothing seems too difficult to conquer after this battle. you have such an amazing family and it sounds
like wonderful friends. your network of friends perhaps in thought only has grown and grown and we are all behind you. you
have done an amazing job jimmy! i guess you are just about ready to celebrate a victory in this ball game and you deserve
a big chalk mark in the win column! our prayers will be with you and your family always buddy!!! |

Well my dear......you got through another dip in the road!!! I am not often speechless..but I have run out of words to decribe
you. We all can continue to tell you how amazing you have been over the past five months but I am not sure that you truly
realize how remarkable it was to witness such courage! You are almost there...I know you have the rosary and scapular with
you..never leave them behind. They have given you the strength and grace to get through this. We have common goals-mine
is to see you back to good health so I can send you off again; yours: you can almost taste the cog's food and hear the screams
of excitement for your "Zags"! I know how important it is for you to get back...you will! Plus to be perfectly honest....it
sounds like Pat and Katy need a little help finding that cup of coffee and you are just the guy to help them out!
Love you always

Hi Jimmy and family, this is Kim (Nicholas Bondi's mom). I just read your journal and was thrilled to see all of your progress
and your pictures. Your family and faith are awesome. Once you get back to Gonzaga, I'd like you to look up Evan Winiger.
He's our neighbor and played competitive baseball with Nicholas. Evan's a freshman this year and apparently is rowing....I'm
sure you'll have a lot of people to look up once you get back. Stay strong and keep up the good work! Kim |
