Connor's Dream Team
Welcome to the TEAM
THANK YOU to Connor's classmates and friends for sending us your heartfelt notes and for your kind, unselfish gestures.
Caitlin Panos, 9 years old - Happy 9th Birthday Caitlin!!!!!!!!!
Dear Caitlin - It was so incredibly generous and thoughtful of you to ask all of your friends to make a donation to Connor's Fund at your birthday party. You even went a step above and beyond and hand delivered your donation in person to our house tonight.
David Thomas wrote that "Unselfish and noble actions are the most radiant pages in the biography of souls"....your actions were both unselfish and noble and we thank you very much. We are really glad to be able to call you, Annie and your parents our friends.
Annie Panos, 10 years old - Happy 10th Birthday Annie!! We all have friendships that we cherish and sometimes we're lucky enough to have a special friend that can make a bad day good, make waiting in a boring bus line fun (by making paper airplanes) or by sharing a memory. Annie, you and Connor were special friends. We are grateful for you remembering Connor on your 1o year birthday and asking all of your friends to please donate to Connors Scholarship Fund in lieu of gifts. Thank you so much. We appreciate you and your family always keeping Connor in your heart.
Carmynn Simpson, 9 years old - - - Happy 9th Birthday!! Thank you very much for your selfless gift to Connors Fund. It speaks a lot about your character to be so giving and is incredibly generous to think of Connor and remember him in this very special way. Thank you!
Megan Lane, 9 years old (does it again!) Thank you Megan for making Connor a big part of your 9th birthday. You are amazing and your unselfish nature is truly admirable. We can't tell you enough how much it means to us that you continue to remember and honor Connor. The words"Thank You" seem inadaquate, yet we can't seem to come up with much else. We are sure he is looking down and feeling very proud of you, Megan. Happy 9th Birthday!!!!!!!!!
Megan Lane,8 years old: On Megan's birthday day she made an unselfish and special decision. Megan decided that in lieu of birthday presents she asked that her friends make a donation to Connor's Scholarship Fund. Thank you very much Megan, we appreciate you thinking of Connor and including him on YOUR very special day.
Thomas Samenuk, 10 years old: Thomas and Connor loved to play video games together. Thomas was a little older and Connor enjoyed hanging-out with him. This year for his birthday Thomas has decided to ask his friends to make a donation to Connor's Scholarship Fund. Thank you Thomas for your thoughtful gesture. Connor loved playing with you.
Megan Lane and Danielle Reardon: Right before Christmas this year Connor's classmates & special friends Megan and Danielle wrote Connor a beautiful note. But that wasn't all. They also wrote a very pretty song that came from their hearts. It is our pleasure to include the song that Megan and Danielle wrote to Connor for everyone to enjoy...
"I'm Still With You"
Dedicated to Connor Ciesielski
By Danielle Reardon and Megan Lane
There's one hard thing in life
That's the way it goes
You're born, you live, you die
So when you went
I wanted to go with you.
You were born, you lived, but you went too early
Now we miss you, we miss you and we won't forget
'Cause we miss you, we miss you all over again
But I'm still with you
I'm still with you
The hard thing is over
It's over
Yeah, ya know that we miss you, we miss you
And we won't forget
'Cause we miss you, we miss you all over again
All over and over and over again
But I'm still with you
Yeah!
The girls also included a drawing of Connor. In the drawing Connor is an angel with beautiful wings. He's smiling. Connor is watching you and helping you everyday. If for any reason you don't think that he is just ask him and he will...all you have to do is believe in him.
