Comment: Jacob - you do not know me nor do your parents. You see, I too am a kidney transplant recipient from a very special person; his name is John. It was one of John's friend/co-workers (Darla Dobbs) that told John about your web page and in turn he told me about it and to check it out. So, here I am and wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how special it is to receive such a gift from someone that can turn your life around so that you can enjoy it, just like everyone else. You are special and God kept you around for a reason and made sure that your Mommy was a perfect match for you. So, enjoy your new life and always remember that you and your Mom are very special people that deserve the best life has to offer. God Bless you and those whose lives you have all ready touched and those you will touch in the future.

Comment: Hello Team Bottone!! We're so verry happy that you all are kickin' fanny at the hospital. Way to break those records!! :) I thank Grandpa Dennis for his play-by-play, too. We've been praying for you and thinking about you a whole lot lately. Speedy recovery and God Bless the whole Family!!! Love Uncle Riley & Aunt Jessica

Comment: Just wanted to send a special thanks to Grandpa Dennis for all his cyber efforts these last 3 years. We know it was a labor of love, but what a blessing for the rest of us, especially this last week...was almost like we were there (and a lot better than having several hundred of us standing outside the hospital). Thanks also for the great pics. Jacob is blessed in many ways, but 'family' is the strongest. Lois and John

Comment: Hello Jacob,I'm back in Los Angeles and happy to have the odd job or two after spending a glorious summer and fall back in Denver working on the house I grew up in. I think back about my summer and believe the best night I had there was the one I spent with you just a few days before Mom's kidney gift to you. I bet there's much less beepin' going on in your bedroom at night and I think that's just wonderful! Thanks for having me to the sleep-over. Look me up when you come to Disney's land. Dan
