From Markysmom on Christmas Eve
Merry Christmas to all of you! Again,We extend our heartfelt gratitude for the outpouring of generosity and kindness from people everywhere who are concerned for Marky.
He continues to fight the good fight. He will spend Christmas Eve with his mom and dad as we wait and watch for Santa to come!!!! The word in the halls here at Primary's is that Santa heaps more stuff on these angel children than anywhere in the world! I know he heaps more blessings here than most places, THAT is true!
Today we've been watching a DVD that our ward's primary children created! They filmed themselves singing and being goofy (Marky's favorite part) and showed them as they decorated an adorable Christmas tree for Marky. It lifted all of our spirits....Thanks to all who helped with that.
Our other "angel boy", Sam, has been spreading his cheer with many of our friends and family. To all of you, we thank you for caring for him. Our oldest son, Scott, who continues to be our beacon of positive hope, will spend Christmas with the Cole side of our family, then come back to see Marky.
We continue to keep our hopes lifted toward heaven for our Father's mercy on this dear child.
Love to everyone, Lynette

Merry Christmas to your sweet family! I love reading the 'mom' version of things. You are amazing people and we are better for knowing you that is for sure. I know this will be a Christmas to remember and thinking of you all has given this season a whole new meaning to me. Wish I was there to throw a snowball at your hospital window or something, but I will bring home some yummy AZ citrus from my parents yard if that is any consolation! Love you all!

Lynette,
You are all constantly in my thoughts and prayers.

We think of you always and keep prayers in our hearts for Marky and the family. Thank you for your strength and faith.
Miss you Marky, Merry Christmas. Love you all.
Dear Marky and Family,
I know that Santa will come tonight and leave you the greatest give of all, good health. Love to "my boy Marky" from Grandma Joan in Raleigh, N. C.
Thinking of you and your family!! Alex misses Mark so much! Merry Christmas!! The Ganong Family
Lynette, We Love you! Merry Christmas to you all! This whole experience has changed Christmas for all of us this year and thank you for your example, postive attitude and faith. In David's family they give compliments to people when it is their birthday, so because we celebrate His birth today and tomorrow, we were giving compliments today. I had a kind of "aha" moment, realizing (as I have before but often lose perspective) that when we have the right perspective, nothing in the world can really hurt us and everything will be ok. We know what is most important, like your courageous sweet son, our families, and our Savior and His plan. We realize that this earth life is but a glimpse in time for all of us, and we can do all things with our Father in Heaven- we are praying for you and our thoughts are with you, James, Sam, Scotty and Marky. Thank you for sharing your sweet experiences and attitude with us. Love,
Kari and Family

Hey Lynette, James, Markey, Scotty, and Sammy...
Merry Christmas, all.
Everything everyone else has said is right on the money. My heart is more tender this season as I witness your tremendous courage and faith in the face of such a challenge.
Please let Markey know I'll get him another Pizza Hut ham and pineapple pizza with a side order of cheese bread whenever he wants it.
Love you, Amy
We hope Santa squeezed down your cousin-built fireplace, your presents are heaped high, your hearts are light, and hopes are high. We love you!
Prayers, Cathy
Dear Lynette,
