We just wanted to thank everyone for their support, prayers, food and attendance at Brenda's memorial service. Several of you who have been dedicated readers have asked that we keep the blog going. We will try to continue this and keep you updated on how the family is doing. There is a big hole in all of our hearts and it is definetly going to take time to heal if it ever does. Thank you again for everything.

Candle Lighting
Hello-
O.k everyone here's the deal...We are changing our minds and we would like to hold a candle lighting ceremony Sunday night at the gazebo in Sundance. The same gazebo that Brenda's "walking for the pink tigers" walk started. That was so special to Brenda, and Chicken thought it would be the perfect place for anyone who wanted to join us, to meet up, listen to Hannah's beautiful voice sing a song for Brenda and light the candles together. We of course will be lighting the candles at 7:00 p.m. so you can show up whenever you would like just as long as we light the candles together at 7. Let us know what you think and spread the word! LETS LIGHT UP SUNDANCE!!

Light A Candle For Brenda
Hello All-
It is Leigh again and we wanted to inform you all about a website called www.compassionatefriends.org. It is a website that my mom found that is for people who have lost a child at any age for any reason. Each year they hold a candle lighting ceremony for those children, and this year it is on Saturday Dec. 14th at 7:00 p.m. We would like to hold one for Brenda. After discussing it with Chicken we decided that it would be so awesome if you could all light a candle at your own home to honor Brenda and say a prayer for her all at the same time which is 7:00p.m. on the 14th. We thought about holding a candle lighting ceremony ourselves but with organizing everything else, there just isn't enough time:) This is such a neat thing and just gives us one more opportunity to honor such an amazing person who we all miss so much. Let us know what you think and mark it on your calendars!!

Memorial Service
Hello All-
This is Leigh (Kirk's Wife) and it is my turn to break into the blog. We wanted to inform you all about Brenda's memorial service on Tuesday the 16th of December in Sundance. Time and place will be determined later on as we are still working on the details. The delay is getting everything taken care of down here in Denver so that we can bring Brenda home where she belongs. Thank you again for all of your prayers and faithful blogging! It meant the world to Brenda and means so much to the family. Details will be posted later so stay tuned!

Hi Friends and Family! Sis is in unconscious state, she is still breathing and fighting away. She really struggled with the amount of infection and as we found out later the bug that she had in her gut had got into her blood. Realistically we are not sure she will make it to the morning. But this is Sis and we serve an amazing and an awesome God. The Dr.'s have been great, she is being medicated so she shouldn't be in pain and we are confident in that when we hear her breathe. We will keep you posted and we hope to have better news in the morning. Pray until there isn't any skin on your knees. Hug who's dearest to you and we feel your support all the way down here!!!
Love
Coy and the Fam!

Dec.4 thurs.
P.S. WE have the "PILL" and will receive the first one tonight at 9:00 p.m. and then every 12 hours for 14 days. Please PRAY as you have never prayed before as she has run out of options , I know for the person she is and the person she has always been God will hear our prayers and send her miracle this I just have to believe. They are going to give her something tonight to help her sleep and rest as she has thrashed around last night and all day today,this afternoon she ended up pulling out her IV. I see noway for her to start healing with no rest or peace. Until tomorrow Love to all Chick and Crew
Dec.4 Thurs.
Dear Friends and Family
Am running late today as there has been no up and working computers until now and this is my second attempt as I got almost done and it kicked me out, so here we go once more. This has been a "Good Day" "Bad DAY" The good is that they found the bug that's causing this and put a name to him , knew the treatment that will help and her fever stayed down, Bad is she is so weak and very confused, I hope as the meds. keep killing the bugs she will come back around with at least the stenght she had before this step back. Am cutting this short as I have had to have Hannah find where this second one went to and need to get back to see how she is doing, fine I am sure, Big Bro is with her. Will try to do better tomorrow. Love to all Chick and Crew

Our Thankful Thanksgiving!!
I thought I would break in and post some photos of our awesome Thanksgiving together. We had a wonderful meal at Grandma Willey's on Thanksgiving with over 40 people there!!! It was amazing. Brenda was glowing, she looked great and that twinkle was in her eyes:) We had 13 people sleeping at Grandma Chicken's house, something we have all dreamed of and talked about for a few years... just wait until we all add a few more kids on, it's wonderful to be in a house full of love, siblings, babies and three year olds and great to see Brenda at home too! Jakob and Peyton were big helpers in the kitchen, anytime we started to mix something they wanted to help, and they were great helpers. Thanks to Christi Marchant for taking time out of her schedule to take an awesome family photo, we can't wait to see the pics!!! A few of us came down with the flu bug when we got home, so far Kayla, Jeff, Coy, and myself got hit by it, yuck! We hope no one else gets it!! Thanks everyone for checking in and send up some big prayers for our girl today, as I know people are!
Hannah (aka picture poster:)
Our Thankful Thanksgiving!!
Coy and Kirk reading stories to our little ones! Then a picture of all the kids, Peyton, Raegan, Brady, Jakob, and Luke. They all had a lot of fun together.

The trip back so far has not been anything we had hoped for. She had her appointment Mon. morn, was running a temp so started her on a NEW antibiotic,she rested most all day . Getting kinda mixed up on the times as we haven't been to bed so it was Tues. she was very tired , wanted Nothing to eat, and couldn't come up with any extra energy, although we took her for a short walk, she had to stop a few times to rest up,just NOT BRENDA. We were calling it a day, I leaned over to give her a goodnight kiss and she was burning up, took her temp.104.4 got Brian and we put cold rags and ice on her but the temp was not going down so we are back in hospital bone marrow north room 3402 the room she received her transplant in. It seems as though she has a blood infection so are now removing her "pic" line that they had just put in last wens. when they removed her port thinking she had a staff in that line.... She is a pretty sick little gal, I hope they find the cause and get her on the right meds. As of yet we haven't received the PILL alittle slow due to holidays is the story we hear. Will be able to update you as long as we are here. Until later Love to all Chick
