Jill and Donny's blog

Your Christmas pictures are the best gift I have ever received! It is wonderful to see Tori -- and all of you together. Now you know that having Tori home is entirely possible! I know in my heart she was so happy! And all of you as well. Thoughts every minute and prayers every day! We love you all! Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny

It is with a great deal of gratefulness that I am reading about Tori today. Prayers are answered. I am so thankful to have her with us and thank you so much for giving us daily information on her progress and troubles. Thoughts all days and prayers every day. All our love, Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny PS Downloaded the Pray4Tori poster -- the one that is on the candles (those candles are wonderful) and it's on my computer all the time.

I received my Prayer Box bracelet yesterday. It is beautiful, excellent quality and workmanship. I was asked what I wanted for Christmas this year and my response was "anything on Tori's website". My husband traditonally gives me a gift of jewelry every year -- thus the bracelet. It is my most prized and precious jewelry gift ever received. Further, the candles are wonderful. Such a high quality product and wonderful fragrance. I chose "Sugar Cookie" (full of love and warmth) and "Plumeria" (comforting and spritual). I highly recommend all of these products as a special gift to a special someone in your life, as a tribute to Tori and her family for their strength and courage. As always, we read you entries every day, Tim, and we are so grateful to you and your family and friends for taking the time to do this. We love you and miss you. Thoughts all day and prayers every day. All our love, Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny

I have not done an entry for some time. Uncle Donny reads the website every day and keeps me informed. He finally told me I need to let you know how much we love you and care for you. The tree is beautiful! Wish you could come to decorate our tree - It's a hodgepodge of favorite ornaments collected through the years but no real theme. Oh well - every year I think it's the most beautiful tree in the world. UNTIL I saw Tori's tree. Wish I could be there to see all of these beautiful trees and decorations. It was very emotional for me to view Tori's tree even though it was so very beautiful. We must keep praying for her and all of you to have better days ahead. Thoughts all day and prayers every day! All our love, Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny.

I too have done some reading on the recovery of TBI and also read about the agitation stage. It sounds brutal but oddly enough it appears to be a positive sign -- that's my reading on it. Praying that you all have a restful day today. Many thanks to Tori's friends for continuing your visits with Tori - and thanks to parents for making sure you can get there to see her. Sophie and Guy - my heartfelt gratitude for your support of Tori, Tim, Maria, and the rest of the family. You are giving something that all of us so far away can't do right now and would if it was possible to do it. Many thanks! Thoughts all day and prayers every day (I know the prayers are heard and answered). Love Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny

Tori has accomplished so very much I know that this too shall pass. She will fight as hard as she can. I'll pray for your strength today -- as always. Thoughts all day and prayers every day. We love you! Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny

Hi All! We have been off line for several days. Thus, no phone or internet. We have missed you so much! Tori has been doing so well. Reading a few days at a time tells me how hard she is working and how very much she accomplishes every minute of every day. Same goes to you - Maria and Tim. We really missed our every day readings. Keep up the great work you guys! Thoughts all day and prayers every day. All our love Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny.

Aren't they the best?!?

I bet Tori was thrilled to see them! As they were to see her and all of you.

Have been thinking of their trip since Friday when they left and anxiously await news from them upon their return. Have a safe trip home to the Midwest.

Tori -- what a trooper you are! You know that your family and friends truly miss you a lot and you are working so hard to get back with them again. I am so proud of you!

Tim and Maria -- thank you for this website. It is a wonderful gift to us and we treasure your daily updates, knowing that sometimes it is difficult to put in to words.

Thoughts all day and prayers every day. All our love,
Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny

As we viewed the ABC video, we understood how much we must continue to spread the word and tell Tori's story. Everyone should watch this video. I wanted to hug the monitor! We continue to read about Tori's progress. I pray that Tori will get a wonderful place to stay until she is home with all of you. Thoughts all day and prayers every day. All our love Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny

We are so concerned for all of you. Tori has been through so much, as you all have. Yes, she NEEDS hospital care to nip these setbacks in the bud and get her back to where she wants and needs to be ASAP. We love you all so much. Please take care, take comfort and strenght from your friends and family. We're there for you. Thoughts all day and prayers every day. All our love, Auntie Jill and Uncle Donny
