Mahalo, Gracias, Danke, Merci, …“Thank-you”!!


As a family we are struggling hard to find the right words to express our deep heartfelt appreciation for you!! You have truly done wonderful things for us. Flowers, food, calls, visits, gifts, donations, emails, all favors received, (and surely we receive many) and prayers for Kolby and our family. We so greatly appreciate the thought behind every act of kindness you have done!!! Kolby’s Illness has been a burden…but your actions have really lightened the load. For that especially, from the bottom of our hearts…we want to tell you of our gratefulness for you. This time has been difficult for us, but knowing we have the support of people like you truly helps.

Please know, that your kind gestures have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Every single kind deed that you do opens the floodgates of emotions in our hearts and our eyes are swimming in tears as we feel overwhelmed by the love that you have shown us. We are thankful for kindnesses we cannot measure and for gifts we cannot appraise. You are so compassionate, so thoughtful, so caring that we felt it was important to not only extend our thanks privately…but publicly as well. We have obtained an abundance of proof that God lives and loves his children. He hears and answers prayers…and you have been those answers that we needed most. Your words and deeds of kindness are as a gentle air to our souls in this time of difficulty in our lives. All of our worries and troubles are slain victoriously at the feet of hope daily…because of you and the caring sensitivity that you have shown our family. We pray and thank the Lord every night for you. We pray that he will bless you ten times the kindness that you have shown us. Please accept this as a personal and public expression of our appreciation and gratitude for you and all of your endless deeds of kindness. May the Lord bless you, as much…and as tenderly, as you have blest our lives!!!

Once again from the bottom of our hearts…Thank-you,

Sincerely…your friends,
The Crampton Family

    Kolby, you don't know me, but your cousin, Heather Worthen shared your story with me. We have much in common, or I should say your mom and I do. My daughter also has cancer. Hers is leukemia. Please feel free to check out our story at the4ellisons.blogspot and leave your email if you want to be in touch. As I am sure you are learning, there is much strength in numbers. Kolby, be strong.

Father's Day

Today was a great day for our family. Kolby went to church. It was a challenge , but it was really important for Kolby to go to church today with her dad. She got up, got ready and she looked beautiful. I really wish I would have taken pictures of the girls with their dad, but we were in such a hurry to get off to church that I forgot. Next time I will for sure. She was pretty emotional at church. It was a lot for her to get ready and go to church for the first time in a while. She wanted to arrive a few minutes late, and leave a few minutes early. It is really hard for Kolby to see people, only because of all the different emotions she is feeling right now. She gets very emotional when people hug her and express their love and support. She loves it, but right now, she cries every time she has a new visitor or sees people. So, please do not get offended if Kolby is quiet when you see her or visit with her. It's just how she is right now, and that's ok . Everyone deals wit...

A Very Generous Gift!

Brinley Truman, an eight year old girl in our ward and a dear friend of our family over heard her parents discussing Kolby and their desire to make a donation to "Keeping Kolby." Brinley asked her parents, Tom and Taralee, what they were talking about and Taralee explained to Brinley that they were going to donate money to the Cramptons because they wanted to show them that they love them and also because all the medicines and procedures that Kolby has to have cost a lot of money. Brinley told her parents that she wanted to give her money too. She went into their kitchen, climbed on the counter and got her money off the top of the fridge. When she got down she handed her mom 5 one dollar bills, 4 nickles, and 7 pennies. Her mom told her that she didn't have to give her money and that they would donate money as a family and Brinley said, "No, I want to use this!" Taralee told her that she should keep her money since she doesn't get money very often and they d...

Met A New Friend!

Kolby went to her weekly doctor's appointment today and as soon as we got there Dr. Kline came right out in the waiting room and told Kolby that there was a 15 year old girl who was just diagnosed with cancer and she was having a really really hard time. He asked Kolby if she would go back and talk to her. Kolby met McKenzie. She is such a darling girl. McKenzie was just diagnosed with brain cancer two weeks ago. She was very quiet and we could tell that she was scared and uncomfortable. She is just beginning to lose her hair and Kolby chatted with her about her experience. Kolby told her about the Wig Cottage and a few web sites with hat hair. McKenzie seemed a little uplifted. Kolby also told her all about her experiences the first few cycles and how much better it does get. Kolby also learned that McKenzie has to have chemo and radiation everyday for 30 days and it really made Kolby appreciate her 21 day cycle. The two were able to get strength from one another. I was really pro...
