Hi John, it’s been a long time-One of the things I love about the Lambuth family is that you can call on them at anytime; even if several years have past since you have spoken. I am praying for Tanner and your entire family.
Psalm 139

Our every thought and prayer are with all of you. There is no “understanding of this” only acceptance and I don’t know how you begin to get there but God will lead you there. David Ross was kind enough to let me know today-we are going to be in constant prayer for all of you. WE LOVE YOU!!
Placing a note here seems so inconsequential, but I wanted you to know that thoughts and prayers are being sent to you from all over the country. In addition, Rita’s has a campaign right now supporting research for children’s cancer, and “for Tanner” with a smiley face is now posted on the wall there. I took a picture, but I’m not sure how to post it here (though, it’s on my Facebook page, and I am a Fan of Tanner’s). Please let Tanner know that she’s famous, and that hugs are being sent her way from all over.
Just a quick note to tell you that we think of Tanner and the rest of your family throughout our days. You are in our prayers. We can’t wait for Tanner to be up and around, her old lively self. Please give Tanner a big hug for us! (Just don’t tell Conor that he is hugging a girl!) Susan
Hey guys…just a quick note to tell you i love you and am thinking about you. I saw Baylie and Jenna today and they both asked about Tanner and how she was feeling. They wanted me to tell her that they love her and hope she feels better really soon! They don’t really understand they just know she doesn’t feel good.
You are in my thoughts and prayers all the time. The blog is great! I love you and am here for anything you need! Jenny 🙂
I am overwhelmed by your strength and fortitude and your positive kick-#@^ attitude. I guess we all know where Tanner gets her amazing strength. I pray for Tanner, for you and John, for little Jake and your entire family so many times every day. Owen is praying, too. When I told him about Tanner and asked if he remembered her, he said “Oh, yeah… she was in Ms. Christie’s class and she had yellow hair and sparkled a lot, right?” Yep, buddy, that’s the girl. Please know my family is holding yours in the light of God.
You guys don’t know me but I am Jennifer Bell’s best friend. She has been sharing your story with me. I am prayerful, optimistic, and most often inspired by this little girl with so much heart. She obviously has such a wonderful family and many friends that care for her and are praying for her (me included!). I want to say that I look forward to hearing the story of her recovery unfold. I am just one of many you don’t know who are thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.
Kari Thompson sent me a note about your daughter. I grew up next to John, Michael and Lisa. I am so sorry to learn about your struggle. I work for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and understand the horrible struggle you are enduring and the choices you are forced to make. God bless you. Our family will include your family in the prayers we offer for so many little kids with this big cancer.
Greetings from Trenton, Tn. We wanted to tell you that we are praying for you. God has you all in his hands, just hold on tight! We put Tanner and your family on the prayer list at our church, First Presbterian in Trenton and will continue to do so. There are a lot folks praying you and I hope you can take a little comfort in that so many people care.
Hi Page Family~
I am thinking about you today and praying for comfort during the procedures. I was so glad to see Tanner yesterday, especially since it was a good day for her. She was the Tanner I know….all sparkly and all smiles…even a little silly! Praying for many more days like yesterday for you and Tanner.
Keeping you lifted in prayer!
Take Care~Sissie
Just want you to know that we are lifting you up daily! I pray that God wraps his arms around each of you and gives you the strength you need to fight this! You are a brave little girl Tanner Page and my new hero!!
Wanted you to know yet another family is praying for you every day! I pray for your strength, courage, peace, comfort and rest. I pray God will hold Tanner and give her every good thing! I pray for God’s guidance for the doctors and nurses. You guys are amazing! Tanner is so lucky to have an awesome family taking care of her! I think of you often throughout the day and every time I do I say a prayer.
All of our family is praying that your strength will grow as you grow weary of the process that you are undertaking. The chaos of illnes is no greater match than the chaos from which God drew all of the created order. God will create something new in each of you as you move through this time of confusion and heartbreak. I believe that God will grant you moments of joy, even though, it may not seem that way now.
God bless you and strengthen you.
John: thank you for your help last week. We love the house.
To beautiful Tanner 🙂 🙂
I am praying for you… and I absolutely love watching you dance. 🙂 You have so much energy, so much excitement, and the most radiating smile in the room. 🙂 You are like sunshine entering the room. I love you lots lots lots and I’m praying really hard for you! God is gonna take care of you. He is holding you in his arms and he loves you more than anyone else.
I hope you feel better very soon. 🙂 I know that God has amazing things in store for your life! XOXXOXOXOXOX
John and Beth,
I just learned about sweet little Tanner, and I’ll be keeping track of her (and y’all) on your blog. I just can’t imagine how gut-wrenching this is for you as her parents, but I hope the love and prayers and support of all the people who care about you is helping to sustain you. Count me as one of those many, many who are praying for Tanner and for all of you.
Dear Beautiful Tanner,
Miss Annette is praying for you every day. My prayers, my tears, my hugs and my love go to you, Jake, Mommy and Daddy. Toby and Ming send there love to all of you and Lily to. God Bless you always.
Blessings,
Miss Annette
Beth
I have just heard this news from Nancy via Norma. Know that I am thinking of all of you and praying for you. I have loved reading all of your entries so definitely keep those coming. Wishing for a complete recovery!
Carla
Tanner-you are a beautiful girl and I look forward to following your story and fight! You can do anything you set your heart and mind to! You are in my prayers as well as your Mommy and Daddy!
Being different is a good thing…and right now God has chosen you to set an example and teach all of us… your Mommy and Daddy, your brother, the rest of your family and ‘all’ of your friends about your disease. You are such a strong little girl and have so many blessings that God has waiting for you.
Each of us a unique journey…very special for each person. Our experiences and what we learn from them are what makes us different. Just think of this experience as being a your classroom and you are the teacher.
Tanner you are so special and Miss Annette feels so honored to have you as my friend. I am praying for you, Jake, Mommy and Daddy every day.
In response to my previous message…in my humble opinion in no way do I believe God is the author of disease. What I do believe is that he is our strength and gives us the courage to see our way through the ‘whatever’ life throws our way.
The two of you were chosen to be Tanner and Jake’s parents…and what wonderful parents they have. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world. To now understand what this disease is all about, to experience your walk, and to see the daily miracles that are occuring for Tanner and all of you…again thank you.
Sending my prayers and love to you regularly. God Bless and all of you.
Annette
According to the first Christian Church “the Cross that we carry is the nature of spiritual life” for it keeps our mind and spirit on an upward incline that is centered in prayer and comunication with God.
