Here are your messages so far:

Sarah - I don't even know you but thank you very much for becoming a blood donor and registering on the bone marrow donor register.

You...and many others I know...have done something very special. It is very humbling to think that because of Lisa and her story, other people's lives will be improved or even saved.

Thanks again,

Simon

Hello Simon, some time ago S.Mooney sent me a link to your website and it nugded me to become a donor. I am now a regular blood donor and I am also registered as bone marrow donor. I know its too late to help Lisa but I thought maybe if I could help others with the illness, possibly something positive could come from this awful situation that yourself and the girls have been left in. i look forward to reading another update, take care, kind regards,

Thanks to our computer whizz of a son, we are now back in the 21st century and can look at Lisa's web site without having to visit Susan and Robert's 3rd bedroom! We have just had a wonderful 3 days with Simon, Ella and Amelia visiting us, it finally stopped raining long enough to fill the paddling pool on Sunday afternoon, although the wind was a little cool. We then had a lovely outing to Wild Britain in the village of Wilden on Monday with the "hedgehog trail" prooving very popular. I am not quite sure why I became "granny" instead of "nanny" but Amelia probably had her reasons! We look forward to visiting you all in Bakewell as soon as it can be arranged. We both noticed the children had grown taller since we saw them last, a week is a long time in childrens' lives. Sending our love to you all as always, from Mum and Dad. xxxxxx

Memories are such a good thing to have especially when they can be recalled with as much love and warmth as you so obviously do.I am always amazed at the positivity both you and Lisa always showed in the face of adversity.as I've said before on here,I am in awe!!Your 2 gorgeous girlies really are very lucky to have 2 parents such as yourselves.I'm sure it's not been easy Simon and I'm sure it won't suddenly become a bed of roses,but keep smiling and keep buying good bottles of chablis and make the most of your 2 days of the week(during termtime at least)when you can have a bit of 'me' time!Love Jane.

hello everyone, hope you are well. just a quick note to let you know that we are all still thinking of you. our school has been very busy trying to raise money for a new library as well as for lisa's charity. the recent auction of promises did extremely well! i personally bid for a car wash by 2 y5 boys and they completed the task on monday (inset day for us). the boys both did a super job - how wonderful of them to give up a day off for such a fantastic cause! much love in wishing you all a great summer break, Alison P xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello to you all. I visit the site often but this is the first time I have left a message although I have tried to do so several times! Lisa was a lovely lady and it was a pleasure working with her. I think of you all often and like to hear how you are getting on. The photos and video clips are lovely - Lisa would be so proud of you all. Keep smiling. Love Tracey. xxx

Hello Simon, Ella and Amelia, It looks like you had a lovely time at Filey,we have just got back from Mablethorpe an we weren't brave enough to paddle in the COLD sea-your'e obviously made of sterner stuff than us!!! The Thomas the Tank cake looked fantastic, hope it tasted as good. Work again,what a pain! but unfortunately we all have to do it and routine is good(sometimes)but good luck anyway. Look after each other and be happy. Kathy xxxx

You are doing a grand job at living life how it should be led......for the moment!I'd say you were very lucky with the weather but after the rough deal you've had,I think 'Him Upstairs' must by now be getting a bit of a conscience and is just giving you a bit of what you deserve-lots of sun and smiles!Good luck back at the grindstone Simon.I know you have lots of support and it'll all just 'happen' somehow.Life usually does 'happen' I've found!Keep smiling,great cake Amelia and Ella you were VERY brave to paddle in the sea(even if the sun was out!!)!I guess now that Amelia is a grown up 2 yr old she'll soon be organising you all........Thank goodness to be 5 eh Ella?!Take care you happy,smiley,lovely lot,Jane.

Thanks Kathy P and everyone else. We are all doing fine. Had a lovely 4 days at my folks down south, and we are soon off to Filey for another holiday ... at the third time of asking!

I will post a fuller update and some pics on our return.

Hi Simon, Ella & Amelia Its about time you updated us with news of how you are going on, we think about you all the time and hope you are all doing well and have been out in the lovely sunshine playing(or riding pink bikes). Lots of Love Kathy xx

I'm still thinking of you all. Hope things are going OK but wishing it didn't need to be this way. The Thanksgiving for Lisa's life last Tuesday was fitting to her - her couragous fight against "the C word", and the Lisa I knew at school, Brownies and Church. We are all fortunate to have such a fantastic person in our hearts. X
