Trent,
It is so awesome to see you smiling and doing fun things with your family! We love your pictures…my husband and boys especially think the picture of you with your new hunting gun and sword is pretty cool! We all think the cookies look yummie! Families are the best aren't they? We all are so blessed to come to earth and be part of a family! We love you Trent and we love your family! Love, Chad, Shelli, Brett Brittney and Caden

I loved the cookies! They looked different than moms, but tasted better, Do I want to know your secret? I hid 2 in the freezer to save for later. You look like you are having a great time! You better put that gun in a safe place, I'm glad my cat doesn't go outside, don't get any ideas about hunting any local wildlife. I hope your bands will be here soon. Love ya Boss

I dont know you personally, but I wish I did. I will keep your blog bookmarked and will look back on it from time to time for some inspiration when times get tough. You are quite the amazing little man. Your story is inspiring. I found your blog and started reading. I couldn't stop. I read the entire thing. What a story you have to tell. I hope you are pain free. I wish I could do something to help you, other than pray for you, but God wants you back, and for good reason. You will work more miracles over there than you have done here, and that is a lot. You have some amazing parents that have taught you well. God bless you!!!

I can't even begin to imagine what a roller coaster ride this has been for you. What strong individuals you both are to be with him everyday through thick and thin and still keep your chin up through this big trial. I am a college student and struggle to balance work, school, and play. How difficult that must have been for you Jeff to continue your education. You guys are the family that everyone needs to strive to have. What a great son you have raised. His story has strengthened me greatly; thanks so much for keeping the blog updated and available for everyone to read. I shed a lot of tears as I kept reading, because of the struggles that the family must be going through. I will be praying for the family.

I dont know you personally, but I wish I did. I wish I could have a small portion of fight and determination. You have touched many lives. You have worked miracles here, and you will work even more once you get back with Heavenly Father. He will use you for many good things. I will keep your blog bookmarked and will look back on it from time to time for some inspiration when times get tough. You are quite the amazing little man. Your story is inspiring. I found your blog and started reading. I couldn't stop. I read the entire thing. What a story you have to tell. You have some amazing parents that have taught you well.

I cant even imagine the roller coaster ride you guys have been on these last 15 months. Thank-you so much for keeping such a dedicated blog so that so many people could read this amazing story. Jeff you are the man for finishing school right in the middle of all this. I am try to balance school, work, and play, and I cant even do that very well. How you dealt with school, work and your family through all this is beyond me. Tiffany, you kept an amazing sense of humor through all this. It is wonderful that you were able to keep your chin up and always be optimistic through all the ups and downs of Trent's illness. Best of luck to you and the boys. I am praying for you.

Hi Trent,
I haven't met you, but your mom and I were neighbors growing up. I want you to know what an inspiration you are to me and my family. We have shared your blog with many of our friends here in Las Vegas. You have touched their hearts with your strong testimony of our Heavenly Father. You have shared the gospel with them in a way that no one else will ever be able to do. You are truly an angel! Love, Monica Butcher

Hey Trent,
I wanted to say hi. I haven't seen you forever, I wish I could. I heard about your horseback riding, I hope you had fun. I always wanted to ride one too. I heard you got to see my crazy dad the other night. Stay tough, love Tony and his family.
