"If I could sit across the porch from God, I'd thank him
for lending me you. Thank you for being there in time of my needs.
As for Murlyn's condition, she is 80% on her recovery. She still is
on a lot of medications. Hopefully, she can go back to school by
January 2003, if God permits."
...Mother of Murlyn,
diagnosed with leukemia—age 7
"By helping to ease our financial burden, you have allowed us to focus all of our energy on caring for our son. His future good health and happiness will surely be attributed in great part to what The Frances Pope Memorial Foundation has done for him and for us as a family. We must believe that he will make a complete recovery. (He’s doing great!!)"
...Lauren & Ralph Bove, Matthew’s parents
"It's not nearly enough to say thank you for how you
helped to lift some weight off our shoulders. You will
forever be in our hearts and prayers. God bless you. My
sincere thanks & gratitude and please tell everyone else
involved thank you also."
...Mother of Leopold,

help in this time of need. Words cannot describe how much this
means to us."
...Mother of Gabriel,
diagnosed with leukemia—age 3
"Thank you so much for the wonderful help. What a
huge relief off of my shoulders. It was a good thing I was
sitting down when June (social worker) told me! I was speechless
and that hasn't happened to me too often! Mary you are truly
an angel and God bless you and yours!"

his battle with brain cancer in the summer of '02—age 16
