Ally Heintz

Dear Ally and family,

Your Aunt Jeanne does the best job of keeping all up to date on your progress, but a picture really does say a thousand words. You look absolutely wonderful. I'm thrilled you will be coming home soon.
The note about your mom and dad's new friend was touching. I'm not Blood Type A, but I'll be sure to pass this along to my friends.
Hugs and Kisses,
Lisa Martinko

Hi Ally and gang- Thanks for the great pictures. I'm going to try to come down today. I need a "Ally Fix". I'm going to call first. Maybe I can catch a visit with Jill too. See ya.

Ally-Cat, I was so happy to see new pictures of you! I must say that you are looking quite stylish and HEALTHY!! That really makes me happy! My entire family continues to think about you and pray for a speedy/uncomplicated recovery. Now we can pray for John and his family too. I will have to email Mommy and Daddy about getting tested since I have a+ blood. I can't imagine how great it would be to help save someones life! You keep up the good work... and get lots of rest this weekend. I'll keep checking in on you, so be good when you get home!

Hi Ally....I'm glad I was able to come down and visit with you last Sunday. I love the picture of you in your car seat. What a great smile. You are an amazing little girl. Thank you for wanting to help John. I hope you get to meet him someday.

Hello beautiful! Iam so glad to hear that you are feeling better. I know I haven't been in touch much in the last week but I have been checking the site daily.
Your shades are adorable. I hope Ashley has a pair too so she won't try to steal yours! I know she likes to style, too. I showed Dr. Katz and Nurse Karen your new pictures. They loved them. We all can't believe how much you are changing since getting your liver. I think I even see hints of your sister now in your smile.
It is sooo great that you'll be home in time for spring and the Easter Bunny. I'm sure he'll bring you something special since we can't get those PEEPS down your tube yet!

Give Mommy and Daddy and Ashley a big hug and kiss from me. I am continuing to pray real hard for all of you and for your new friend, John.

See you soon...
Love, Aunt Jeanne

Hi Ally, Jill, and Shane,
We are so glad to hear Ally is doing so well. She looks fabulous in her shades - spring is just around the corner!!! David will be down next Tuesday for an appointment. We would stop in to see you, but it sounds like you'll be home by then. That's great! We hope things continue to go well the rest of the week. Hopefully you can get home and get some rest.

Hi Ally! So glad to hear you are doing well. I talked to your gram at the bank today and she told me that you will be breakin out on Monday! One day when you are well enough to eat lollypops, I'll have to give you a handful!! Mommy will love that!! Just make sure you share them with Ashley. That's the only reason she comes to see me at the bank....I wish I could help you out with the blood drive, but my blood is no good. But I have a friend that will probably be there! I am helping to support your new friend John by buying some of the bracelets they are selling. John lives in the same town as I do! I will continue praying for you and John to get well!! Take care!
p.s. Your pictures are adorable!!

Ally, we're so happy to hear the great news! I guess with all the good food you're eating, you'll start gaining weight again. Ashley better watch out, soon you'll be the "big" sister. Can't wait till you're home so we can come visit you.

Hi Shane, Jill, Ashley & Ally,
First off, let me say how happy I am that Ally is doing so well. Every day I patiently check her website just to see what's going on. When I see those pictures, even though I've seen them many times, I just have to smile and shake my head in amazement. What a little trooper! Now, your family just keeps on going with the prayer requests for John. If there is anybody that can come through for him, I'm sure it is Ally. I knew from the moment I came in contact with your situation, that you guys were all very special people. (I work at National Penn Bank in the Kutztown office.) This just proves that I was
right! I will continue to pray for Ally & John and I'm sure wonderful things are on the horizon for both these special individuals. Take care & and always keep the faith.

hello. I'm happy to here Ally is coming home soon. Me and my community awareness group are trying to figure out a day we could maybe meet. If you could get back to me asap. You can contact me at my cell (484)769-6430

Hi Ally and family- I saw Dr Dunn yesterday and he said Ally looked great and was trying to do a dance recital for him. That little twinkle toes. We will keep your new friend John in our prayers. I know Ally can pull some strings. I know she was put on this earth to be someone special!!

It was so nice meeting and talking with you this evening. We look forward to meeting Ally. It is our hope that someday soon we will be able to tell everyone that John too has received his transplant. I am a true believer in all things happen for a reason. Thank you for entering into our lives.

Hello. I love that poem. It made me cry tears. I went with my community awareness group to Tulpe High School and we talked about organ donating. Most of the children we talked to were organ donators so it made us smile. We sold 20 Donate Life bracelets. Everyone loves them. My school [Berks Career & Technology Center] is sending the check by the 18. We have to wait til it passes through administration and everything. Sorry about the delay. I wanted to ask you if we could use a picture of ally for our poster on organ donating. We're going to States in lancaster April 13,14,15. I wanted to ask for your permission before we put it on our board.
I'm glad to hear that Ally is doing okay. I'm worried about her cut. The way you described it it doesn't sound good. I bet Ashley is having a hard time with everything.
Well good luck and keep in touch so I know about the pictures.

Hi pretty girl! Just thinking of you...........and thought I'd say hello! Can I assume "no news is good news" this week or are you keeping mommy and daddy so busy they don't have time to update? Hope you are being so good ......
Love and prayers,

Hi Ally, Glad to hear you are doing so well. Your Bili level is simply fabulous. (I guess you can wear yellow now!). Hope Mommy, Daddy and Ashley are doing as well as you. You and yours are an inspiration to everyone. Well you keep up the good work and ask the Easter Bunny for some Jelly beans (see if they fit down the NJ tube - maybe Mommy can put them in the blender!). Little Bobby says hello - he is quite the terror now that he is mobile and can try to do everything his big brother does. Bobby & Billy got a new cousin - Hope Olivia was born on Monday, March 7 (C-sect) she weighed 8 lb. 5 oz. and didn't have any sugar problems - I couldn't believe it but she went to the Newborn Nursery. Well sweet girl you keep up the good work - before you know it you will be back home. Love to all, Auntie Sue

I've been reading your updates on Ally and I am pleased to hear that she is happy and playful. I'm sorry to hear about her not sleeping. I'm sorry that I couldn't make it to the church. I don't drive yet so it was hard to find someone to drive me there since I live in Reinholds. I would love to meet everyone though. When you have another event let me know. I would love to meet Ally and Ashley. I have a little sister who is 3 years old. She had a hard start in life too. She didn't cry when she was born and the docs thought something was the matter. But she was okay. She's beautiful. If you ever want to get together and meet just e-mail me. I'm doing this organ donating presentation at tulpehocken high school. I hope everything keeps going good.

Hey Ally,

I'm glad to hear that things are going better with you. There is always so much going on your a hard little one to keep up with. I know people tell your mommy and daddy all the time that you are an inspiration to so many, but you really are. There are so many things in life that I look at differently just from knowing your story, and there are so many times that I wish everyone could meet your family. It would change their lives. Your mommy and daddy are two exceptional parents who have done 200% of what has been put in front of them for the past year, and they deserve to be commended for being so awesome. I hope that this week brings only good news and you. Remember the Easter Bunny will be here soon!! Take care little one and God Bless!

I can't wait see the tulips come up in our yard. They will be in honor of you Ally!!!I hope to get down to see you soon.

Good morning beautiful! I am so glad that I got to spend some time with you on Friday. You look marvelous! And such attitude...I wouldn't expect anything less from you!

It was great to see Mommy and Daddy,too. And Grams and Pops. Hang in there guys...you are doing such a great job holding things together. Pretty soon you will get to sit back and admire the tulips. That letter is one of my favorites, too as it describes part of my job as tour guide! You are special people and you were chosen to help Ally through this. Ok, enough heavy stuff...

Love to everyone. Enjoy those balloons, beautiful and may every day see you getting stronger and better. Miss you all...
Love,
Aunt Jeanne

Hi Ally/Jill/Shane & Ashly,
I just logged into your web site from Belgium to see how you are and I was very happy to see things are going well. You look beautiful & happy as always. You are all always in my thoughts & prayers.

You take care,
Love Aunt Kathy

Hi!Glad to hear that Ally is doing well this week! She is a special little girl, who has touched many lives, and your strength, faith and positive attitudes are an inspiration. Yes, Holland is a beautiful place, and you will see and enjoy things many people miss.
Keep smiling Ally - and leave the tubes alone!
Take care,
Diane

Hi! Glad things are going well. I am also glad you got that letter and have shared it with everyone. It gives you a different perspective on things; and it also brings tears to my eyes every time I read it!

Hello everyone! I'm so glad to hear Ally is doing better! I do pray the withdrawal symptoms go away soon, you need your rest pretty girl!
Jill, thank you for sharing that beautiful letter with everyone, it's so true, we would have all missed the special and very lovely Ally. As trying as this has been for you and your families, I think everyone will agree we have ALL learned many lessons in the last yr by following Ally's life. What a blessing she has been, I know she taught me many things about life and love and patience and things that are real and important and things that are not. I don't like that you or Ally have had to go thru what you do everyday..but she has been a joy to so many people and touched so many lives that you know God put her here for a reason and I'm so glad to have the opportunity to know her and all of you.
As always Lots of Love and Prayers to you all!

Hi Jill, Shane, Ashly and Ally
The new pictures are great especially the one that looks like Ally is doing a "thumbs up"!!! Jim and I really enjoyed talking to you at the breakfast and again thank you for allowing so many people to share in your lives. God has a plan for all of this and we just have to wait for His timing. We look forward to the day we will see Ally and Ashly face to face. Again thank you.

Hi Ally,
Just wanted to say Hi and let you know that I've been telling alot of people about you and they all want to know when your next event is! Hope today was a good day and like always I'm thinking of you. Toodle loo...

Hi Ally, Mommy, Daddy and Big Sister:
I am writing to let you know I think of you daily. My husband asks about you everyday since we came to your breakfast, and he does not worry about anyone, but he thinks of you daily also. When I get home he wants to know if there is any new news. I wil check on again. Take Care and God Bless you all.

HI ALLY, AND MOMMY AND DADDY,DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU GET TIME TO READ ALL THESE MESSAGES , BUT WANT YOU TO KNOW WE ARE THINKING OF YOU DAILY AND JUST READ THE LATEST UPDATE. KEEP GETTING BETTER SO SOON YOU CAN COME HOME AGAIN. OUR PRAYERS AND GOOD WISHES ARE BEING SENT YOUR WAY. SORRY WE MISSED YOUR BREAKFAST LAST SAT. I WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND , BUT, HEARD IT WAS A GREAT TURN OUT . BRENDA AND ROD

Hi Ally

Hello pretty girl! and you are soooo pretty. I love the new pics, as always, they make my day! I'm so glad you were feeling better and able to read your fan mail.
I wanted to wish you well tomorrow and I have my fingers AND toes crossed that you get the G tube...can that face be even prettier without any tubes????? I will be thinking of you and saying lots of prayers tonite and tomorrow for all to go well and just as mommy and daddy hope!
Lots of love and prayers to you all!

Ally- I love your new pictures. Sorry I could not make the breakfast. Austin had two big school projects to do that he did not tell me about to the last minute. Needless to say I was on a hunt over the weekend to find items so he could dress up as Booker T. Washington. He had to give a speech about Booker dressed up as him. You'll learn all about Booker T Washington when you go to school. You look like your on the road to reading with all those get well cards! Keep up the good work.

Dear Ally,
Your are such an inspiration I look forward to the Boyertown Times evey week just to find a picture of you.God is watching over you & your family & everything will be alright you will grow up to be a beautiful young woman. Stay in touch with God & it will all work out. Everybody loves you.

Good morning beautiful! Hope today is a good day and tomorrow is an even better day. I know more stuff being done doesn't sound like fun, but a gastrostomy tube would be so nice. I saw Dr. Katz today before she went to the OR here and showed her your gorgeous pictures to make her day happier. It worked!
Just think, this time next year, you and Ashley should be playing together in the snow. Hopefully, Mommy won't dump you off the sled ;<)

Miss you lots and thinking and praying for you always...

Love, Aunt Jeanne

Hello Ally girl,
You are really looking much better and happy. You are a real angel Ally and I also know that God has a beautiful plan for you in life. I'm glad that I can be a part of it. When you come home, I will come to see you.
Hugs and Kisses, Abi

Hey Allie, have a wonderful week. Im praying for you and your family. I was @ the breakfast and it was delicious! Lord bless ya!

Ally Girl-
You look so good!!! It is so wonderful to see you smiling (and reading :) You have lost your yellow glow, but I must say that pink is much more your color!
I couldn't be happier for you. I think about you all the time and pray for you everyday. Keep up your strength and healing, beautiful girl!

HI Ally

You are such a beautiful baby and you always seems to be happy and smiling. With all the problems you have had at such a young age and you are still smilling! Our Prayers are with you and your family, and I know God will take good care of you and your family and make things all better for you. Like your Daddy said GOD has a plan for you and maybe he wants you to help other little boys and girls,that have problem, when you get older.

There are alot of people pulling for you so hurry and get well.

Oh my gosh! You are beautiful! Everyone here at Bryn Mawr is thrilled at how wonderful you look. Your smile has made our day a lot nicer, even Dr. Stavis' day.
I always knew that you were a very, very smart girl. Seeing you reading your mail just proves it even more.
Hugs and kisses to you and Mommy and Daddy and Ashley!

Your pictures are adorable! Your smile is beautiful! The best news is that you are felling better! It makes our day!

Hi Ally, Shane and Jill,
I miss you when I'm off and I think about you all the time...but I know Miss Kelly is taking good care of you and I'll be back tomorrow. We'll play with our bracelets while Mommy is at work, take a nap and be all bright when she comes in. Be a good girl for Kelly and I'll see you tomorrow.
Love
