Dear Shane, My heart breaks for you. I tried to leave a message last night right after you had posted yours, and must have not done it right. But I'll try again. You say your time is limited here. That may be but you have used your time more than lots of people with unlimited time. I am praying that God lets your time be wonderful and a blessing to all those you touch. You are loved by so many people and have blessed so many lives. God says he will never leave you nor forsake you. I hope you find his presence a peace and comfort. We look forward to seeing you soon. Love Linda

Shane - From the first time I started reading your posts, it struck me that you were touching the lives of people you would never be able to keep track of, many you would never ever even hear from. I have heard there are only TWO ways we affect EACH and every person we come in contact with - (1) You bring them closer to the Lord; or (2) You push them away from the Lord... My gosh, Shane...you have brought so many of us CLOSER, even those of us who already knew Him, now know Him more intimately through your writings. Thank you for doing that for all of us.

Like yourself and many others I don\'t know what to say or do. Like Chad said keep on keepin on and don\'t quit until your head hits the ground more than once! When the words Try and Heart come up I think of You! Your never quit attitude won many rodeos and continues to inspire more than you can imagine. After my accident I was telling you I would not beable to rodeo or rope again. You basicly said why! and told me to quit making excuses! Because of You and Your inspiration I\'m roping and rodeoing again! You are not just my little brother you are my HERO and I Love You with all my Heart............................... Jesse James

Shane and Hope, I haven't checked on this page in about a month until tonight. I am saddened to hear the news from Mayo. I, my family and church have been praying for you since the beginning (I used to work with Jesse in SD). I will make sure we continue to pray in this new, more difficult situation and trust the Holy Spirit with how to pray. We will pray for Hope and your whole family. I don't know what to say other than this really sucks, but I'm glad you have the hope that comes from being a child of God. God Bless, Heather Grover

Although I talk to you several times a day, I thought I would send you a message. I've protected you my entire life and honestly feel helpless right now. You mean the world to me. The best thing that has come out of this is that you've made me a better person. It really sucks that you had to have cancer to do that. You've made a difference in a lot of lives, especially mine. Nobody has more heart and try than you do. I don't give a damn what the doctors tell you. Keep on keepin on and don't let go until your head hits the ground twice. You aren't sick unless you think you are. I love you with all my heart and will see you at Dad's over Christmas.

I know this is tough on you and all who care about you, and I am extremely sad to hear your news. I've been one of the fortunate ones who has gotten to know you and help tell your story. I thank God for that, because you are and always will be one of the great people He put on this earth. As always, you are in my prayers, as is your family and friends.
As has already been said, YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION. May God bless you through this time and hold you close as the toughest times come.
