From Grandma:
Taegan, I love you so much! I am
so proud of you and your special project to help others
who have cancer like me. I am so lucky to have such a
wonderful, thoughtful granddaughter. You are my angel
granddaughter. I love you, Grandma K. |
| Taegan,
I live in Madagascar right now, where the Lemurs are
from. I just read an old LDS (2004) Church News about
your drawings. I am very happy that you are doing this
great service for all the grandmothers that get "chest
cancer". Your pictures are very happy and beautiful.
Your Grandma K. is a very lucky Grandma to have a
granddaughter like you, and so are all the other
grandmas who have "chest cancer". I am a grandmother too
and so maybe you will be helping me not to get this
disease. ~Audrey from Utah - living in Madagascar
right now. |
|
Taegan, I just wanted to
let you know that about a month after you drew two
pictures for my kid's Great Grandma (my Grandma) their
Grandma (my Mom) was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. So we
passed along the pictures. God Bless you Taegan.
~Jessica - Keizer, Oregon |
|
Taegan, You are such a special girl. I
know your Grandma well, and it's no surprise you are so
outgoing and caring! You have a wonderful family and you
are touching families everywhere with what you are
doing. Keep up the great beautiful work Little Angel.
~Jenne D. - Paso Robles, California |
| Taegan:
I ordered a picture from you for my mom who found out
she had "chest cancer" five years ago. I think what you
are doing is wonderful and I pray you will reach your
goal. Keep up the great work. You draw beautiful
pictures! ~Gretchen - Houston |
|
Taegan, I am one of the many people in my city who
organizes the Race for the Cure. I was searching the
internet for ideas that we could possibly use and came
across your site. I am so proud of you and what you are
doing to help us in finding a cure. I will be sending
you some money soon for 2 of your pictures. If I had a
little girl of my own, I would hope that she would be as
beautiful as you are-both inside and out! :) ~Mary -
Memphis |
|
Taegan I ordered 2 pictures for my friends who have
breast cancer and then I decided to order one for myself
because you have touched me so much. I love your
idea and your drawings are perfect. I am sending the
pictures to my friends and can't wait to hear their
reactions. I know they will love them. Thank you and
good luck reaching your goal. ~Sue - Bountiful Utah |
|
Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures. I had you
draw two for my children for their Great grandma who is
fighting Breast Cancer. It is great what you are doing.
God bless you Taegan. ~Jessica - Keizer Oregon |
| Taegan,
I want you to know that we have something in common. My
Grandma got breast cancer, too. Not only that... but I
actually know YOUR Grandma! Your Grandpa used to be my
Bishop at church, before you were even born! They are
very special to me. I want to thank you for drawing
pictures to help them, and to help my Grandma too.
~Susie - Nebraska |
| Taegan.
I know that you are a very busy girl right now, trying
to make nice pictures for all the people that want one,
and hope that you take some time to run around and do
little girl stuff !! I am going to send your
information to my sister and her husband, who lost their
only daughter, and my niece, to breast cancer... I bet
they will want some pictures, too. Their daughter loved
dolphins... have you ever drawn dolphins in a nice ocean
with a beautiful sun and rainbow? ....You may take your
time making my flower picture... but I do look forward
to having it on my wall! You are becoming a very
famous artist, you know! I saw you last weekend on
Channel 8 in Portland (KGW.) ...Hugs to a very sweet
girl with a beautiful name. ~Diane |
| Taegan,
We think you are AMAZING! You are a really good artist.
Keep up your good work! Our grandma had "chest cancer"
too- but now she is all better. We hope your grandma
will be all better soon. ~Kate & Brooke - Utah |
| Taegan,
Your Grandma is a very special person in our lives. She
and your Grandpa have been such good friends to us that
my little girl, Ashlynn, calls them Grandma and Grandpa.
I was so touched when she told me what you were doing
for her and all of the other Grandmas. This is a very
special mission that you have taken on. You will make so
many people happy with your beautiful drawings. Your
Grandma is very lucky to have you for a granddaughter.
We hope you reach your goal! ~Kate R. - California |
| Taegan,
You are a very inspiring little girl..... Your pictures
will put smiles on many faces. Good luck with your goal.
~Angela - Michigan |
| Hi
Taegan... I saw a story about you on the news. You are
doing a wonderful thing, sweetie. I just ordered four
drawing for my friends who survived breast cancer and
one for myself to put in my office. (Thankfully, I don't
have cancer, I just like your drawings.) My Mom had
cancer. She battled leukemia. Even though I know she is
in Heaven, watching over me, I miss her very much. Like
you, I do something to help fight cancer. I am a team
leader for the Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society. Our walk is October 1, in Portland.
Thank you in advance for making the drawings I ordered
for my friends and me. I know you are very busy drawing
these days! Keep up the great work, and tell your Dad he
did a great job with your web site. ~Teri - Oregon |

Taegan: We read an article about your drawings in "The
Church News" to help your Grandmother. Maybe one of your

Taegan, I am one of those lucky Granny's who received
one of your drawings. I was given it while having chemo

time I was diagnosed with Stage IV --- and have been on
a regular chemo schedule since March 2002. I still do my
walks, play tennis and hike. This is a very special
