After many years of fighting cancer Mandy was left with many long term side effects. She’s been fighting lung failure for 5 years and her lungs have been quickly declining the last few weeks causing extra stress to her heart. Her doctors explained to us that she would have hours to a day left. Mandy expressed that she wanted to be home. In true Mandy fashion she fought and fought for 9 more days. She passed away peacefully Friday afternoon. Mandy has always had a fighting spirit and that shined true to her very last breath. The world is dimmer without her bright shining light. The loss we feel is immense. We know our lives will look vastly different without her in them. We are comforted by the fact that she is no longer in pain and flying with the angels and unicorns in heaven. Thank you for all the love and support we have received. We have a wonderful support system and are blessed for our village. Mandy was truly one of a kind and we are forever grateful for the 13 years we spent with her. We are planning a celebration of life for our sassy girl. We will update with details soon.

This is a post we have been dreading creating since Mandy was diagnosed November 29th,2011. Mandy has had continuous side effects from over a decade of fighting Cancer, Chemo,test studies and bone marrow transplants (just to name a few). The past few months have been especially trying for Mandy. Ultimately her body is slowly shutting down. There is nothing more her incredible doctors can do besides keep her comfortable.Mandy expressed her desire to go home. The amazing individuals at Arnold Palmer hospital made this happen last Wednesday and Mandy was transported home via a critical care ambulance. We have remained at her side since then as she transitions to the other side. We are blessed to have her palliative team coordinating with hospice Dr’s and nurses. She is comfortable and surrounded by familiar faces, sights and smells. Just as she wanted. As much as our hearts at breaking that our time with her earthside is coming to a close we are content that she will no long be in pain, no longer have to be shuttled from appointment to appointment and no longer have to face the difficulties that have plagued her since she was 1 year old.🎗️💗🌈🦄🦋

With that being said we have begun making end of life arrangements for Mandy. We will be having a celebration of life for Mandy. We are choosing to celebrate the way Mandy lived rather than focusing on the pain her absence will create. Mandy has always been extra and fabulous since birth so to truly honor her memory we are hoping to plan something just as extra and fabulous as her. We would also like to help alleviate the financial burden Ron & Jessica are facing. As Ron is currently not working to be able to soak up Mandy’s last moments. This entire family has endured so much so the ability for them to all be together in a time like this is priceless. We have started a go fund me to help Ron and Jessica in planning a truly special event for our one of a kind girl. Thank you in advance for any donations or if you aren’t in a position to donate please share this post. Here is the link for the go fund me:

Additionally a lot of people have reached out asking what they can do or how they can help. So we have also created a meal train to help ensure they stay fed at this difficult time. Here is the link for the meal train:

We are also asking for photos you may have of Mandy. We are hoping to create a special video to show at her celebration of life. Any memories you shared with her we would love to include. We ask that you please email any photos you wish to share to

Please just put mandy as the subject line. 📸🤳

If you have gotten this far… Thank you! Thank you for helping to support in what is truly a time of need and most of all thank your for your roll in Mandy’s life despite everything she has endured Mandy has faced every obstacle with extreme bravery and her signature sideways smile. We will post updates as they come. We aren’t sure how much time we have left with our sweet girl we just know it isn’t long. Again I have to express our gratitude to you all and also ask for your patience and understanding with us as we navigate through this incredibly difficult situation. ❣️🙏🏻

*FIGHT*GO GOLD*ADVOCATE*BE AWARE*
For the ones battling now, the survivors, the ones who will battle and the ones who were taken too soon....but never forgotten! 4% isn't enought!!!!

The chemo is a poison and toxic. It must be stronger than the cancer if it is going to kill it. It's like a tsunami and take out everything in its path. In time, many of these trees and flowers will bloom again, but you pray the weeds don't grow back" -David Plotkin

Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month-Day 21

Heavy is the crown and yet she wears it as if it were a feather. There is strength in her spirit, gold in her heart, determination in her eyes and the will to survive resides within her soul! She is a warrior, a champion, a fighter and a princess ♡♡

PEDIATRIC CANCER AWARENESS MONTH- DAY 18
Someone said "I don't know how you do it."
I said "I was never given a choice. So I fight to leave cancer with no choice!"

Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month- Day 6
A family who fights together, evacuates together. The van is packed with 90% medical supplies. Praying Mandy's health stays in check while we venture away from her doctors & that Irma is kind to florida!!

Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month Day 5!
Fighting cancer is hard work and long hours! Stuck inside while time passes you miss family, friends, toys, your bed, your animals. Meanwhile you get lots of pokes, hearing beeps are never ending, you carry a pole around (if you are allowed out of bed), they put you on no contact and every time you turn around you can't eat or drink bc of another test. The list goes on and on....
We continue to GO GOLD in September to spread awareness in hopes these kids receive better options! No child should grow up in a hospital or have to die in one!
