Hey Baby boy, sorry I haven’t been here for a bit, but think about you all the time. Wish you could have been with us all at A. Candie’s when we went to visit. I know your always with us in spirit,but I wish we could have all had you with us to make us laugh more with all your silly jokes and to meet more of your family you didn’t get a chance to meet. I know your would have loved everyone and had lots of fun playing with all the kids. Miss your beautiful blue eyes and your beautiful smile everyday.

Love and miss you my little Tan man.

Hey baby boy, was thinking about you alot today, saw a butterfly hanging round the back yard this am. Soon Bailey will be coming to be with us all pretty soon. I know your just as excited as everyone else and I know you’ll always be there to watch over her and keep her safe. Miss you so much all the time. But I know your always watching over everyone and visiting us when you get a chance. Sure do miss you love. Love you more than all the stars in the sky. Love you and miss you whole bunches baby.
Hello my beautiful Angel……. I miss and think of you every second of every day. As you know, your lil sister will be here soon!!! just what you always wanted:) Every time I think or speak of you she goes crazy moving around and kicking…it’s like she already knows you!!!! I’m sure you had something to do with that!!!! I know you’ll always be watching over her. I love you buddy, and will see you in my dreams.
Love Mommy
Hey baby, Mommy came down and spent a few days with me. You and Daddy are taking really good care of her. She looks so beautiful with your baby sister, Bailey in her tummy. I know you are watching over them both and I’m sure you have already met your little sister, cause she is already a little angel. She sure is beating Mommy up, rolling all around in her tummy, sort of like you. Can’t wait to see her. Mommy looks so happy, but she still misses you terribly and wishes you were here too. I miss you every minute of every day. But I know you will always be with us in spirit and in our hearts. A. Candie and the gang can really use you watching over them too right now, so see if you can pull some strings and help them out. I know you will if you can. I love you baby, more than all the stars in the sky.
Your life story moved me both deeply and emotionally and I felt compelled to leave you a few words.
I came across your website, which your loving family have dedicated to you, and I just want your loved ones to know that my thoughts and prayers are with them.
God be with you my friend and may you rest in peace.
Just wanted to wish you a Happy Bunny
Day, Tanner Bannaner. Got my Easter Decorations up for you out side. I hope your having a awesome time helping the Easter Bunny hide eggs for all your friends up there. Mommy told us about yourlittle lamb, I’ll bet your taking really good care of him like you did with Teddy. Just want you to know how much more I love you everyday and miss you terribly. But I know your doing more important things now, but I still miss you , baby. Thanks for watching over Mommy for us, your doing a really good job. Rember I love you more than all the stars in the sky. Happy Easter, little boy.
Just wanted to talk to you little man and tell you how much I think of you every day and blow you kisses and how much I miss you. Your always in my heart, Love. I know now that with all your wisdom, why you left mommy teddy. Not only to keep her company, because she misses you so much, but so you give the baby something too. I really think you knew who would be there soon to take over your pirate booty. I know your watching over Mommy and the baby and keeping her safe. I love you my Little Tan Man more thanall the stars in the sky. Fly high baby. I love you.
A big Happy Valentine’s Day to you my little Tanner Bannaner. I’m sending lots of big hugs and kisses to you up there and a litlle piece of my heart for you to hold until I’m there with you again. Thank you for that big heart around the moon the other night, I was so suprised. I loved it. Keep painting me those beautiful pictures in the clouds. Love and miss you so much my little angel. Love you more than all the stars in the sky.
Hello precious Tanner,
As you know, I have been talking to you a lot lately. On Monday, your 8th birthday, I looked at all the picture we have of all your terrific birthdays when you were here. You sure enjoyed each and every one. I am sure the celebration in Heaven was the best ever! I wish I could have seen you enjoying your special day this year. I hope you don’t mind . . . I put a copy of the letter I wrote to you last year on Facebook. I want everyone to know what a TERRIFIC guy you are, so I shared it with all the people I know! Everytime I hear a bell ring I imagine you with beautiful wings! You must be having fun with that! We have two hawks that visit our front yard all the time. Having them around makes me feel like you are nearby. I know how you love hawks – just like Grandaddy!
Love you forever and always, Nana
Happy birthday Tan Man, I sure miss having you here with us for your b-day. I know where ever you are, they are giving you one big party, I bet you picked a pirate theme this time. Bet your having lots of fun gathering your loot for in your treasure box and making everyone not a pirate walk the plank. Remember baby, we all miss and love you very much. love you more than all the stars in the sky
Happy Birthday, to my most favorite boy! It’s Woo! Just wanted you to know that every day I play the drums in daddy’s pool room under the pirate flag you gave mommy. I know that having you there behind me like that makes me rock out extra good! Mommy and daddy put the T’s up all over the place. it’s fun to think of you in every room.
Happiest Birthday, Tan Man! Not a day goes by that we don’t celebrate you or all the love and laughter we have in our lives for having you in it. Even tho you’re not here in person to call for Woo across this house, we still laugh and play and feel you here with us.
Talked to your mom today, I could hear it in her voice, how happy and proud she is to celebrate you on this beautiful day. We all miss you so much but are soooooo grateful that you’ve given us so much reason to feel you close every single day.
I know you’re keepin all those angels in line up there…remember, Pirates rule! Everybody else drools!
arrrrrgh!

Carol @ Ronald McDonald House, Jacksonville January 29th, 2010 at 9:31 am
I have had you and your mom and dad on my mind for weeks. So many times when I walk into the Ronald McDonald House I almost sxpect to see you sitting at the counter in the kitchen. As I have shared your story with so many people, or I look at your picture of you playing with a truck in my office, it is as if I can feel your precious spirit. Very few people have truly touched my heart in the way you did and I am so thankful for the memories you made for me! You were and will always be loved!
Hello my friend,
There’s seldom a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. Hard to do when my favorite photo of you & Tucker is the first thing I see when I walk into RMHCJax everyday. You walked through our doors & into my life at a time of doubt, when I wasn’t sure who I was or what I was going to do. You were a guiding light showing me the way & one of the best reasons I decided to stay to serve other kids & families. Thank you my friend, for that gift, for showing me the way, for being a light in my life every day. We all miss you…
Shelli, all your friends at RMHC Jax, & Anita too.
if sorrow could build bridges and if tears could build highways i would walk right up and bring you home with us.
just you and me baby, love you and miss you.
thank you so much for the beautiful sunrise this am.the big sun peeking through those big long clouds and the sun’s ray shining down between the clouds likie a rainbow.
love you so much and miss you more everyday, but i seeparts of you all around me. i wish i could hold you and give you a big hug and kiss.i love you my little tanner bananner, more than all the stars in the sky.sleep tight my little pirate. no more worries—your free to fly high. love you baby.

I think about you every moment of everyday.
You are the sun above me head, the grass below my feet, the whisper of the wind, the stars surounding the moon.
You are the breaking of the ocean’s waves, the shealls which lye within the sand.
I will never be without you, you will always be apart of me.
I just wish i could hold you, feel your hand in mine, even if it were for only one last time.
I wish i could’ve told you, i love you before you closed your eyes. I know you already know that i do, but i just wanna hear you say, “I love you two.”
You will always be my little Tan-Tan The Cheerleading Man<3
Im sorry im not to good at writting poems, its the thought that counts though, right?
I love you and I miss you.
TanTan My Cheerleadin Man ;]
I was thinking about you today, i think about you often. I thought of the time you, Kaydee Bug, Aunt Kristen and i were having a sleepover, Dancing around. I also thought of the time we all went to the Zoo, That was funn, huh. I wish i could hold you. You always make me feel better when im sad, i miss you dearly. I Love You! , i hope your having fun with all the other Angels. Fly high babyboy, keep that beautiful smile on your face<3
thanks for the butterfly kiss this afternoon!!! <3 ya to the moon and back forever and ever big guy. hope you are enjoying showing the newest little angel around up there!
I came across your blog today when googling my daughter’s name — Tanner Page. Tanner is six year’s old and was diagnosed with leukemia this past June. I read with sadness about your Tanner. Tanner is not the most common name and I thought it so strange that two children so close in age, sharing an uncommon name, should both have cancer. Perhaps a little of your Tanner, can live on in mine. She is fighting a brave fight, much like your little boy did, I imagine. My deepest sympathy to you… I would like to say I can’t imagine what you are going through, but unfortuntely, I imagine it often. I will say a prayer for your family and your son the next time I see a butterfly.
Love to you all,
Beth Page (the other Tanner’s Mom)
Hey Buddy,
I know you know how much I miss you. Everywhere I look I see your beautiful face smiling at me. I just wanted to say “thank you” for letting me find some of your hidden treasures! I put them back exactly where you left them ( but i’m sure you already know that). I wish I could hold you, but I know you are very busy doing beautiful things everywhere. I luv and miss you dearly.
Mommy
hey sweetheart,very sad today. i miss you so much. hard not to have you to hug and kiss. i’m blowing my kisses up to heaven for you. miss your silly jokes and sweet,sweet smile and those big beautiful blue eyes. i’ll see you in my dreams and feel you in the soft breeze across my face. i love you my sweet little pirate. gma mickie
HEY MY LITTLE TAN MAN I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS FOR YOU AND MOMMY. I REMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOU AND MOMMY SING THIS SONG. SHE WAS HOLDING YOU IN THE ROCKING CHAIR AND YOU ASKED HER TO SING IT WITH YOU. ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES OF YOU AND MOMMY TOGETHER.
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
MY ONLY SUNSHINE
YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN SKIES ARE GREY
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW DEAR, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY.
THE OTHER DAY DEAR WHILE I LAY SLEEPING
I DREAMT I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS
WHEN I AWOKE DEAR, I
WAS MISTAKEN, AND I HUNG MY HEAD AND I CRIED.
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
MY ONLY SUNSHINE
YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN SKIES ARE GREY
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW DEAR HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY.
I KNOW THE MIDDLE PART IS NEW TO YOU, BUT YOU KNOW I SING IT TO YOU ALL THE TIME.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I THINK OF YOU EVERY DAY.

I miss you soooooo much! I miss your hugs and your sweet voice. I miss your giggles, and your practical jokes!
I was playing playstation games with Ryan today…I am sure you would of kicked both our butts!
I keep thinking about the time you pulled out your couch bed over here…and you hid under it, sticking Teddy up through the hole! Awesome memories!

It’s been so cloudy out because of the weather. I do love and miss you so-so-so much. Hugs and kisses for you my love. you know i”m always here. Love you more than all the sars in the sky.
love you always and ever
gma mickie
hey my love… miss you to the moon and back forever and ever! mommy has been having a tough time the past couple of days… maybe you need to send a butterfly her way soon okay? I love you!
my dearest crissie……i was so glad to hear you both got out of the house for the day and went to the beach and went surfing. what a beautiful day. You deserve a good day! You are the best mommy in all the world. You are Tanner’s best girl and you are beautiful. Remember, as beautiful as a butterfly. I love you. Mom
hey handsome. it’s been a long crummy week but i had to smile when i saw a butterfly hanging around me at baseball the other night. i don’t know how you always know when i need a little nudge but somehow you do. i miss talking to you over the phone… i miss hearing you in the backround when i’m talking to mommy on the phone. it’s just not the same. i love you to the moon and back… forever and ever.
<3 xoxo aunt candie
Hey Buddy……..it’s Mommy
I’m sure you know and see how much I miss you. I just wanted to say “Thank You” for visiting me in my dreams…. you are as beautiful as ever.
Good nite, sleep tight, I’ll see you in my dreams tonight…. I love You
hey my little Tanner-bananer,well it will be 3 months in a few days since anyone has been able to hug you and kiss you. i know i talk to you every day but its not the same. Every sunrise has been more beautiful than the next since you have gone, even when the day is cloudy and i see your big blue eyes in the sky everyday and the blue ocean when i drive home from work. ihave been seeing this constant star everynight when i walk the dogs and i know it is your way of letting me know your watching over us all. the other night i thought i saw you coming down the road on g. ma gloria’s scooter, but i know it was just wishful thinking. i hope you hear me singing to you at night. funny but i also saw a butterfly that flew around me when a. candie saw you and then flew away. i think you must has stopped in to say hello before you went home with mommy and
daddy. i keep yor teddy next to my heart that mommy gave me when i go to bed. i’m thankful that mommy gave him to me. he helps me sleep at night. i love and miss you so much little man, my heart feels like it broken. i see so many animals in the clouds all the time now , dinosauers ,rabbits, even a pirate ship and lots more and i know you have something to do with it. funny how we all see you when we most need you. i love and miss you so much. more than all the stars in the sky. love yoy baby! grandma mickie
hey handsome. thanks for stopping by this morning! I guess you knew somehow that i needed something to calm my morning down and make me smile. it was funny because when the kids came downstairs each of them saw the butterfly in the window by themselves. it was the first thing i saw when i came down the stairs too. when i posted the picture on facebook your mommy and daddy sent me a little message and said to tell you it was time to come home! you seemed to get it before i even told you and you were on your way. i have to admit when the kids left for school and all was quiet my eyes filled with tears. some were happy tears and some were sad. sometimes we just can’t keep those tears from flowing. things aren’t quite the same without you. mommy had a great time when she was here and we know you were hanging with us too. it was nice to see her laugh when we told stories about you. it was nice at the beach that she took to kids to meditate by the water in the mornings and chat with you. and i know you heard them with mommy saying goodnight too. i love you to the moon and back forever and ever. xoxoxoxo
Hey Tanner. I just wanted to let you know that I came across your blog a few months ago. My dad got very sick a little over three months ago. He is now paralyzed from his surgery. Your blog inspired me to encourage my mom to keep one for our family. Last week my mom got the strength to start one. I am so proud of her. God bless you…
Erica
ps…I was in Daytona this past weekend for my dance college national championships. I said a prayer for you while I was there. We won by the way =)
HAPPY EASTER MY LITTLE TAN-MAN
I KNOW YOUR WITH MOMMY,AUNT CANDIE,UNCLE BERNIE, PAP PAP AND THE KIDS IN SPIRIT HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME. WE ALL MISS THE EXCITEMENT AND WONDERFUL ENTHUSIAM YOU HAD FOR ALL THE HOLIDAYS. WE TOOK A RIDE DOWN THE BEACH YESTERDAY. HOW BEAUTIFUL THE DAY WAS. BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKIES JUST LIKE YOUR BIG BLUE EYES. I MISS YOU SO MUCH LITTLE MAN. I HOPE YOU GOT TO MEET THE EASTER BUNNY AND HE WAS EXTRA GOOD TO YOU. I LOVE AND MISS YOU MORE THAN ALL THE STARS IN THE SKY.
GRANDMA MICKIE
I’ve had you on the brain lately. Sometimes Woo gives me a look and I just crack up and can feel you laughing with me. Thanks for always picking me up when I’m feeling down. You always have had the ability to make me smile. I know you’re smiling now, too.
Love you!
Bryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! (I can’t help it, I only think of mine, Greg’s or Woo’s names as if you’re yelling them across the house.!)
Hey my little man…on my way to pick your mommy up the airport so she can spnd time with your cousin’s…kind of hard to write this with all the tears, but it willpass….I know you are there with us….love Pap
hey big guy… we’re gonna take good care of mommy when she comes to visit next week. we’ll make sure she laughs a whole bunch!!! we know you’ll be laughing with us. xoxoxo
i miss you.
Chrisanne,
I just recently have reconnect with your sister. She told me tonight about your special little boy. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I can not even begin to imagine what you all have gone through and dealing with your loss. I will keep you and your family in our prayers. I am going to show my son Ethan, Tanner’s page.
You have a special heavnly angel looking over you and your husband. He is safe and getting to know his great grandfather.
Hello Sweetheart!!!
We miss you so. I havent’t heard from your Mommy & Daddy so I was wondering if you could give them a message for me & have them contact me….o.k.? My phone# 386-383-0263 & my e-mail is katzone97@yahoo.com
Thank you sweetheart!
Just remember that everyone loves you & misses you sooooooo much!!!! And we will see you again when Jesus comes!!!
My Dear little Tanner:
I am sending you this little message I came across. My heart is so broken without you.
If tears could build a stairway
and memories build a lane,
I’d walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
I miss and love you so much. I hear you talking to me in your wind chimes.
Just you and me baby for always.
I love you so much.
Grandma Gloria
Chrisanne and Steve:
I saw this poem and it reminded me of Tanner’s roses and how they bloomed for you.
A rose grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
and, as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall…
One day, a beam of light shone a crevise that had opened wide-
The rose bent gently toward its warmth then passed beyond to the other side…
Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted-the rose blooms there-
Its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God’sown loving care.
I love you both and I miss you Tanner more than all the stars in the sky. I think of you every time one my roses bloom.
Love and miss you so much.
Grandma Mickie
thanks big guy!!! i know you helped the kids get up this morning and remember not to be grouchy. they said good morning to you and knew that you sent them that beautiful pink sky with the rising sun on one side and the full moon going to bed on the other!!!! love you to the moon and back forever and ever!!!
xoxoxoxoxox
hi my love. tonight we were coming home from baseball practice and there was a huge full moon that was almost orange. (your favorite color!!!!) The sky was beautiful. Allison commented that it was you saying goodnight and I think it was too. We miss you so much that we can’t quite put it into words but we know you can hear us. We love you to the moon and back forever and ever.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Thanks soooo much for visiting Grandaddy and me last week. We could feel your presence everywhere! You and I even watched a little bit of Sponge Bob Square Pants. We miss you very much, honey . . . but you already know that, don’t you. You probably also know that our “crazy Kramer” went to join you. He got sick with a blood problem he could not fight. So, as much as we miss our “fuzzy son,” knowing that he is jumping from cloud to cloud with YOU makes it okay. Now we miss BOTH our best guys. Can’t wait to hear all about the fun you two are having when we are reunited one day. Oh, Dita told me you visited her, too! Yep, she told me about how you set her TV up to record Sponge Bob Square Pants! You RASCAL! How funny you are! You are still full of surprises!
hey tanner wanted to tell u that i always sleep with my bear and medicine pouch u gave me and the bear u gave me is always next to me at night. well see u later got to go love ya
Hey handsome…
well i have to tell you that you have brought me friends that i would not have had the chance to meet had it not been for you and i have to thank you for that i love you to the moon and back forever and ever… i put the zebra above my bed and each night before bed i give him a kiss… i know you get that kiss every night too. i miss you so much it breaks my heart but i know deep down you are in a better place and we will see one another again.
xoxoxoxo your crazy aunt candie
Hey Tanner..Just wanted to share something with you. I went to get in my car the other day and a butterfly was on the door handle and I thought of you. It would not leave, so I patiently waited and it finally flew away, or I thought. When I opened the door it flew in for a ride. Wow what a feeling. It was like you were there and it made me feel good. I know you probably looked down at me and laughed at me because at first it scared me. Thought it was a big bug. You were always good at plaing tricks on me. Love you and miss you, Love Linda
God Blessed Child…How could so much time go by that I did’t get to see you??? Ms. Kathleen talked to Mommy & Daddy yesterday, when I saw them at Wal-mart, they told me about what happened in short, and then let me know about your web site.
I’m so happy that I got to see updated pictures of you! Last time I saw you, you were in class at the Port Orange Karate. You were AWESOME!!!! That was like 2 1/2 years years ago, or something crazy like that. I tried to keep in touch but Mommy & Daddy were always so busy w/your family and everything going on w/you that we never got to keep in touch…I’m so so sorry!!! Ms. Kathleen & Gabriel Love you sooooooo very much!!!!!
We will be looking for you at the gates of Heaven Lovey!!! We will see you soon
All our Love!!!! Kathleen & Gabriel
Hey Buddy, it’s Mommy……
I missed you sooooooooo much today…… but then when I went to do the laundry I looked out by your window and saw the rose bush we planted and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Five beautiful roses, the most ever, and they smelled so wonderful and before I knew it, it was like you were right there with me handing me a flower and saying ” a beautiful flower for my beautiful girl” just like you always did. A big smile come over my face and my heart felt warm with your love.
Thank you……
Daddy is taking good care of me just like he promised!!!!
Good night my sweet prince.
Love always your beautiful girl – Mommy
Hey Sweetie!
Dita came over today and we spent a lot of time looking at your pictures from when you were a baby – then as a toddler – then “The Tan-Man! Sooo many great times we all had with you! Soooo many funny and adorable faces you could make! You are such a charmer little man. Gosh – I miss you so much. Keep smiling Tanner – it brightens the world! I Love you to the farthest star in the sky and back again!
With all my love, Nana

Hey Handsome, What a wonderful weekend we had celebrating you and everything that you did the short time you were with us. I finally got to meet Tucker and you were right… he is really cool!!! You have so many wonderful friends that I finally got to put faces to the names you would mention all the time. You certainly were and are very much loved. You couldn’t have helped make a more perfect day. I can’t keep track of how many times while we were together with everyone at the beach house how someone would say… remember when this happened or that happened or that was said!!! We laughed and shared a whole lot of wonderful memories that will stay with us forever. Mommy and I were going through lots of pictures and it brought back a flood of memories. Remember when you and Brandon would stick your pacifiers in your mouth and give each other kisses??? We love you SOOOOOOOOOOO much.
Love you to the moon and back forever and ever…
your crazy aunt candie, uncle bernie, justin, alli-bug, and brandon.
Hey Lil buddy, it’s mommy……….
I miss you soooooo much. Although you are not here with us I know with every beautiful sunrise that begins my day is you smiling at me, with every bright blue sky I see it’s you looking down at me with those incredible eyes. I hear your laughter as the birds fly high above and all around me, I feel you next to me with every warm breeze that passes by.
Often when Daddy and I are feeling sad we find one of your hidden treasures or a favorite toy that drys away our tears and warms are heart as we begin to laugh and smile.
Thank you so much for letting me take care of Teddy for you……he snuggle wuggles with every night just as if you were there beside me.
Just as we did every night, I still make a wish upon a star, picking the brightest one I’m sure is to be you….. and did you know one of my wishes finally came true…. that you would finally be at peace.
I love you so much and am grateful for all the beautiful things you taught me in life and the ones you are continuing to teach me.
Your celebration of life was one of the most beautiful days I’ve ever seen and I’m sure you had something to do with that….thanks buddy!!!!
Good nite, sleep tight, I’ll see you in the morning – I LOVE YOU
Mommy
Hey Tanner,
Its justin i wanted to tell you that you were a great kid and cousin you always put a smile on my face and other peoples face. You touched so many people and thank you for everything you left me, i will always keep it. I will always remember you and love you Tanner, I hope you are in a better place and are happy. Love you Tanner
Hey little buddy, its daddy, I miss you so much. Im taking good care of mommy and sissy just like you asked. I went to see the sunrise on your birthday and just as I thought it was another beautiful one thanks to you. Later that day we went fishing at our secret spot. I caught the bait while mommy prayed to you asking you to help her catch a keeper redfish. And then it was on! Definately OUR BEST DAY OF FISHING EVER!!!! You once again out did yourself. 9 redfish two keepers and the rest to big to keep 30+ inches. You sent a powerful message to us considering we didnt catch anything but reds and bait. Im crossing out the list of things you left for me to do 1 by 1 it could take some time to complete everything and some will take a lifetime. I am getting lots of support from family and friends. I felt very close to you on my paddle out during the ceremony, you gave me an extra boost of strength and comfort. I dont know how to blow on a conch shell so I used that cool horn thing I bought from kembali the cool shop near red dog surf shop. I know you heard it, it sounds just like a conch shell I blew it seven times for you, One for each of your birthdays and I will continue to for every birthday. You should get a pretty good laugh out of it 50 yrs from now. It will probably take all day and make my face turn purple, but I promise to do it every year no matter where I am. I love you always P.S. show GOD your eyebrow trick. SEEYAh
It was just recently that I came across a photo of me holding you in the hospital; just shortly after you arrived.. Although it has been many moons since I last saw your face, one thing is certain..I will never forget how proud you made your Mom and Dad and how your light has brightened their lives forever…
Hi Tanner,
I wanted to wish you the best of luck in life. You are a strong little boy, and I know you can do this. I don’t know you, but I can relate to a story similar to this, and reading this touched my heart. Stay strong little one. You’re in my prayers.
To: Tanner Austin Page
Location: Somewhere above the rainbows beyond the clouds, over the moon, where angels sing . . . Heaven.
My Dearest Tanner,
On February 8, 2002, you were born – a month early. Typical of you, as you always love to make a surprise entrance. You were a “BIG” baby! Though you were a month early, you weighed a whopping 9 pounds! Again, you surprised everyone!
I can remember holding you in my arms that day and gazing into your beautiful sky blue eyes. You were a blur as I was looking at you through my tears of joy. I fell hopelessly in love that day. . . Not with a baby, but with an angel.
Soon after your birth, you just seemed so anxious to grow up, so anxious to “get on with living.“ You possessed a wisdom that I had never seen in other children your age. Your kindness, your thoughtfulness, your concern for others was an example for everyone. You demonstrated God’s love every day of your short life. Surely you were here, with us, for a heavenly reason.
My life would never be the same again. Your arrival rocked my world. You did get on with living and you did it with passion. Though medical hurtles were placed before you, you faced them head-on and pushed forward. Rarely, if ever, did you complain, though I knew you were often in pain or uncomfortable. You endured so much, but always put the needs of others above your own.
You are surely one of God‘s most favorite angels in heaven. Amusing, surprising, loving, considerate and – busy! I can only imagine what fun you are having and the many friendships you are making.
Tanner, I feel terrifically blessed to have had you in my life and will be forever grateful to God for sharing you with our family. We all miss you terribly. We love to reminisce about the great times we had together – with you. We all wish you had not had to leave us so soon.
I know I will see you again one day and expect you will jump out from behind a beautiful rainbow and surprise me with a hearty welcome. Oh, how I look forward to that! Until then, my precious angel, I will see you in the clouds, in the moon and in my dreams.
With all my love forever and always,
Nana Page
PS: We Celebrated your precious life yesterday and you were there with us. I felt you all around me. Didn’t you love the butterflys?! Aunt Candie brought the butterflys. Wasn’t that cool? One landed on Grandaddy’s thumb and wound not leave him. He was sure it was “YOU.” It left his thumb when Daddy and all the surfers took you beyond the breakers. What a beautiful day. What a special day! Sooo many friends and family were gathered together to pay tribute to our very, very beloved Tanner Austin Page. You filled our lives with God’s love and your own. HEY, kiddo, did you like the Party tent we put up in the front yard? I thought you’d get a kick out of that, too. Ya’ loved it, didn’t you! Ha! Ha! I knew you would!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Although I never met him and just read about it all today online, I am sure he was a great boy. It took so much strength and courage for him & the entire family to endure all of that. I am sorry for your loss.
Tanner, Just looked out my office window and thought of you. Blue sky. bright sun and soft breeze. I miss you so much. Keep smiling down on us. Love, Linda
As one journey ends, another begins…may you always walk in sunshine and God’s love around you flow, for the happiness you gave the earth, no one will ever know…although it had been a few years since I’ve seen you, I can see the beauty and strength of your character through these photos…Steve and Chrisanne, our hearts, thoughts and love go out to you…goodnight sweet prince and forever enjoy your endless summer…love you all, xoxoxo Nicole, Chris and Zoe
I wanted to light the candle you gave me for your birthday yesterday but went to and found the wick had buried itself inside and couldn’t be lit.
At first I was sad, then I laughed….just as you’ve always made me laugh. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t have to be Feb 7th to celebrate my favorite blue eyed little man.
We celebrate you every day…and are so happy to have you in our lives forever, you make us smarter, happier, and so very grateful for all the memories we’ve shared with you.
When I start to get a little down, there you are, your voice ringing thru the house, ‘Greeeeeeg!, Moooooom!, Daaaaaad!, Bryyyyyyy!, Wooooooooo!!!!!’. Makes me smile every single time.
Thanks for that, Tanner.
and Happy Day After Your Birthday!
so much love,
b
Our thoughts and prayers have always been with you and remain with you now, Tanner. You remind me so much of my boys. I aspire to live my own life with as much grace and love.
Everytime I look at the blue sky I can see those BIG BLUE eyes looking down on us with your great BIG smile just a beaming. I will so miss you Tanner, but I know you are feeling no pain now and playing with more toys than I know you ever had in your room, and that was alot. Have fun in Heaven Big Man, I Love You. Linda from Dr. Carithers office.
I am so sorry. At first I wonered if Tanner was showing God majic tricks. Then I realized Tanner is experiencing the best “majic” of all – sitting at Jesus’ feet and runnig healed all over heaven. He will be greatly missed and always have a special place in my heart. Keepin all of you in my prayers.
Love,Manya
okay my love… i thought i was going to have to have a long talk with you tonight because i was sure that you were sitting on ben’s shoulder with your angel wings and just when i thought it was over i realized it wasn’t ben’s shoulders you were sitting on it was # 10’s shoulders. sure enough, you gave holmes a little push and kept him in and he scored the winning td. so, instead of complaining to you tonight i am thanking you for that little push. i love you to the moon and back forever and ever. ( i do believe that you were waving that terrible towel today up above!!!)
goodnight.
xoxoxoxxo
yours forever…your aunt (stinky) candie
I know you are running around Heaven making new friends and not in pain anymore. I admire your bravery through the tough times you had on Earth. Your smile is something I will always remember. I am praying the peace of God be with your family.
You touched more lives then you will ever know. I know you will continue to touch many hearts. You are precious. God Bless you and your beautiful family!
Tanner, I will miss you lots. Aunt Nonnie and I looked up in the sky last night and we saw the brightest star and we said, “There’s Tanner and he’s watching over us” Did you see us pointing and waving to you? I love you “little Man” you have been in my heart since I first met you a week after you were born and you will remain there for all time til we meet again Love, Donna
Carole & Danny Dunn--Retired MPD January 30th, 2009 at 7:04 pm

Tanner,
As you sail the big pirate ship in the sky, we will find comfort in knowing that you have finally found the Treasure that could comfort you. As you have found your Treasure, we are left with many of yours … Your sweet friendship, unending love, and brave spirit have made us richer in so many ways. THANK YOU for that. No more battles … just smooth sailing and eternal riches.
My precious Tanner, I try to imagine what you are doing right now and the image comes up of you running, skipping, laughing and making friends with angels – like you! It will be a great day when I can be with you again. In between now and then, you will be my first thought in the mornings and my last thought when I go to sleep. I will love you until the end of time and beyond. Thank you for the love, the fun, the wonderfulness you shared with us all. You are missed.
My ‘lil Boo Boo. Your time in this life was precious and special. And we can’t wait to see you in the next life! And I’m sure my Dad and brother will watch over you until then.
I’ll love you always ‘lil man !!

We all love you very much Tanner. You are a great kid. You always have a big, bright smile on your face. You sure know how to make someone fell happy and you make our day! Well your world is bright now and everyone will watch over you. We all love you so much and we will never EVER forget you!! <3
Tanner-I know you will be missed, I hate that I never got to meet you, I heard lots of stories from my dad, and I prayed for you daily. I hope you are enjoying your new home in heaven, I’m sure you wouldn’t trade places with any of us. I know I will get to meet you one day and you can teach me how to play all those Wii games you liked to play.
Page Family- Although my dad and I are eight and a half hours away I hope you can feel the love that we are sending your way. I am so sorry to hear about Tanner, but keep in mind that we will see Tanner again one day. Again I am sorry about your sweet little boy, and I, along with many many others, will continue to lift your family up in prayer.
Heaven just gained an angel
So many will surely say
But I know it’s gained a pirate
Patrolling thru each day
Keeping all those angels in check
Makin’ sure they’re good and true.
How is it that I know of this?
Why, I learned this much from you.
I woke today, it was raining
Been raining all night long
They say that’s angels crying
But I think they might be wrong
For what have they to cry about?
They’ve gained a friend, it’s true!
How is it that I figure this?
Why, I learned it all from you.
You taught me that to laugh
It makes the day so bright
For when the chips were down I saw
You stack ‘em with your might
You fought so long and hard, my friend
And smiled the whole way through
How is it that I saw all this?
I paid attention to you.
You showed us all that life can be
Harder some days than others
But that it doesn’t matter when
Your friends are like sisters and brothers
And love is stronger than any tie
It can get ya through the blue
How is it that I know of this?
I saw it all in you.
So now we all must find a way
To use the things you’ve taught
And all the ways you gave us love
Draw strength in how you fought
So fortunate am I to share
My memories with Woo
So she will always know about
The best friend she has in you.
Uncle Bil & Aunt Robin January 29th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Tanner,
You were one special little boy. During your short but meaningful stay here on earth you touched so many hearts. You’ve made this world and all that new you so much better. Thank you with all of our hearts. I know that Heaven will be a greater place with Tanner Austin Page playing there.
Love…Uncle Bil & Aunt Robin
Aunt Robin and Uncle Bil January 29th, 2009 at 11:14 am

Tanner – I just saw the 237 photos in your album and what a smile you have! I have a very special photo of you and Anita that I cherish. We now have a big chair for kids to have their picture made with her so they can always remember the Ronald McDonald House dog. Please know we all remember you and your wonderful family and the time you spent with us here in Jacksonville. We are praying for you. Love, Joy
Aunt Cynthia and Kaitlyn January 29th, 2009 at 1:34 am
Tanner – The blue eyed little boy with a million and one differnet facial expressions. You have been a witty entertainer. You have been an inspiration. You have shown a remarkable strength and will to live. Your legacy will be a reminder for us to treasure every single moment of love and laughter that life has to offer. You will forever be in the hearts of all who have loved you.
hey big guy… i loved hearing your voice today. i had a smile from ear to ear just hearing you say hi. i told the kids you said hello and they also had smiles from ear to ear. we love you so very much…
i wish we could have been there for that sunrise the other day… next time you do that you go ahead and call me and i will get up and watch the same sunrise with you… maybe not right next to you but with you at the same time heart to heart. i promise!!! (and i am not an early bird but i would do it for you and you only). don’t ever forget that we think about you every minute of every day.
i love you to the moon and back and forth forever!!!! or as the kids say…. we love you until the cows come home!!! (remember… we don’t have cows so that means infinity, especially since i have no plans to ever have cows!!!)
hugs and kisses…. aunt candie and the whole gang
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
Hi Tanner,
I was thinking about the time you showed me some cool magic tricks, you were good at them. Anita says Hi! She sure likes playing with you. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Love Manya
Hey there Tanner, little buddy, it’s your cousin BJ again. Just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in our prayers. You are a strong little boy, and an inspiration to us all. Everybody that you’ve met, you have touched in a special way. We are sending out a bunch of warm hugs from Phoenix, AZ. Be sure to share one with your mom. Miss ya bud. Here is a picture to remind you of us:
Hello my friend, You will continue to have my prayers for your journey. Know that we are keeping you, mommy, daddy, & sissy in our thoughts everyday.
Love, Shelli & all your friends at RMHC Jax.
Hello Tanner. I stumbled across your page. Your story gives me strength because of an ongoing illness my dad has. In Oct we found out he had a 10 inch tumor in his spinal cord. Early January they removed it all, which was a miracle. However, he has been left with paralysis. You are so strong and a beautiful young man. My prayers are with you. Never stop smiling…Take care.
Just read your story on the Moonlight Basin website.. You are my kind of guy Mr. Tanner. I google snow all the time. We are going to Moonlight Basin in MT March28th.. We will keep you ever before our heavenly Father in prayer as well as mom and dad.. When nothing else works, God comes through at 11:59.. We Believe with you, all our love, Melanie, David, Caleb(7) and Chloe(5) Hayward

I can’t wait to see you again. You take care sweetie. Don’t forget that you are my HERO. Big Hugs and lots of kisses. Your DITA
Hello dear family,
I have read the story and am touched by your faith and God’s continuing grace to see you through this. My daughter was diagnosed this past September with a Wilm’s Tumor at age 20 y/o. She will take her last treatment on Jan 28, 2009. It has been tough but He has seen us through as well. Keep the faith! Little man, you have a special purpose. You can count on me to call your name in prayer.
Tanner, I’m friends with your mom and dad and you are a very speical little boy to have so many people love you! You take care and my thoughts and prayers are with you!
Hi Tanner and Family,
Just want you to know that prayers are coming your way from CA. Tanner, you are strong and brave, and obviously a fighter. We can all learn so much from you. Hang in there, keep fighting and BELIEVE!!
God Bless you all,

Laurel Arnold/Grace's Mom January 14th, 2009 at 10:34 am
Hi, I don’t know if you’ll remember us. We met you about 2 years ago at Dairy Queen with the Koren Family. My daughter Grace had Medullablastoma(brain cancer) in 2005/2006. Amy Smith is her Doctor and what I remembered, she was Tanner’s as well. Vicki called us today to say hi and told us the news of your son. We enjoyed meeting him soooooooooo much and have even spoken of him a few times through these past 2 years, wondering how he was. You are exactly correct that he leaves you smiling and wanting more. He has such a Beautiful face. He and Grace are a blessing to HOPE. I call these children, “Angels on Earth”. to remind of that there are beautiful sole people that are still being created by God.
Grace has been in remission for almost 2 1/2 years, but was left with a few health issues as well. We are having to start Growth Hormone therapy, she produces none, and there are risks of her coming out of remission. The chances are small, but I am terrified. No matter how long Grace remains in remission, it will never be long enough.
I admire your strength, I know how you feel and will never forget the feeling. I know there is nothing that I can say that you probably have already heard, but when you are in town call us. We would love to see you all again.
Laurel, Grace and Jack too! 352-316-3305
Hey Tanner! Woo is sleeping right now, but we were thinking of you earlier and I wanted to tell you that WE MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!!! and hope to visit again soon.
I’ll send you a pic of Woo once she wakes up later.
Love you! (Greg is flying right now but he wanted me to tell you he said hey, too!)
b
hey handsome… so sorry we had to leave the other night. we all miss you so much already. we had lots of fun with you and your big sister. maybe we can head that way again sometime soon. i love you to the moon and back. hugs and kisses…aunt candie and the whole gang!!!
Hey Tanner,
I love you little man. I miss you so much. I can’t believe I’m sick. This is such a bummer. Now I’m not going to be able to ring in the New Year with YOU. I hope you have fun at Aunt Nonnie and Uncle Harvey’s tonight. You all are so lucky. You are going to have so much fun. I hope you call me later tonight. If you don’t , I will call you. Have a Happy New Year Sweetheart. All my Love , Your Dita.
Maritza & Ryan & Girls December 29th, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Hi Tanner,
Thinking of you everyday, keeping you in our prayers.
Hope Christmas was wonderful with your family.
hey handsome… we will be seeing you soon and we can’t wait. i am glad you had a nice christmas with everyone… we wish we were closer. we are counting down the days and like i always say…. i love you to the moon and back. make sure you give mommy and daddy kisses from me and the kids (and shhh….. just a little extra pinch for mommy from me just like the other day!!!)
Hi Tanner, Hope Santa was good to you. Just wanted to say we love you and are keeping all of you in our prayers. Give my love to your mom. Anita says Woof!
Love Manya
To all of Tanner’s wellwishers and many friends,
I write this with broken heart and lots of tears. I recently visited with Tanner, Chrissy, and Steve. Things are not what one would hope for, but I know God has a reason and I except that. So with that said, I would like to thank you all for your gifts to Tanner and all your prayers. They have helped a little boy that is loved so much by many! An update will be coming soon on Tanner, it hard right now for Steve and Chrisanne to update the website as there are many things that need to be done. So to all I say Merry Cristmas and to all a good night…..
P.S. YES there really is a Santa Claus and Angels among us.
Tanner,
I just wanted to say Hi! Bryann emailed me pictures of you and Taylor. Your such a cutie-pie! I hope you have an awesome Christmas because YOU ROCK!
Hugs,
Angel
Merry Christmas Tanner I hope that you enjoy every moment and have as much fun as possible. The boys say hello as well and we are all praying for you.
Love,
Karra, Brent, Garrett and Braden

With all my heart, Juli
Hey Tanner! I’m having mom type this for me because you know I can’t do too much with my hands yet (except maybe poke Anna in the eyes and throw stuff), but I wanted her to tell you that I miss you and can’t wait til we can play again soon. Nobody can make me smile the way you do, you’re my favorite! (just don’t tell my dad…you know what a silly guy he can be

Hey lil man.I pray that you are well. Hey Tanner’s mom and dad. I also pray that you both are staying strong for eachother but most of all for Tanner. I found out about Tanner a few months ago from Crystal Tanners aunts bestfriend she asked me to please keep Tanner in our prayers, and that, I have done. Tonight during our family bible study God put Tanner in my heart and mind. I am here to see the updates on Tanner. Remember one thing God is a God of miracles.If you BELIEVE and have FAITH all things all are possible.Tanner has touched many lives, he has touched my life and I have not met him yet. Know that you have many who are praying for Tanner and your family. I spoke to Tanners aunt (Riggi Doo) lol..I think that is so cute.. So I got to meet her and told her that my pastor and I would love to go and pray for Tanner’s healing.( ALL THINGS ALL POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND HAVE FAITH IN HIM) PLEASE KEEP STRONG IN THE LORD,HE IS THE ONE WHO IS CARRYING YOU THROUGH ALL OF THIS. I PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY,AND TANNERS HEALING. GOD KEEP YOU ALL.
To Tanner’s parents – I have a correction to make for the website. It is http://www.alivizatos.com.
To Tanner and family – I hope you all have a SUPER-blessed day and week!!
With love from North Carolina!!
Dear Tanner,
Howdy! You are being thought of and prayed for from NORTH CAROLINA! I live in Pisgah Forest — it’s a small little town in the mountains. I hope you are feeling all the blessings that we are praying for you!
(Also, maybe your parents could visit a website that may be of interest! It’s http://www.alivazatos.com. I have a friend, Sam Hendon (and his dad, Willie Hendon) who have stories on there. Feel free to email me!)
Tanner, you must be pretty special, because you sure do have a lot of love being sent to you by a WHOLE LOT of people!!!
Lots of Love from North Carolina!!
Your Friend,
Rebecca Kiel
Hello Tanner, I learned about you and your neat website from Sean Barrie, a member of our Brevard Community Church in Western NC.
It is my prayer that you will feel the love of Jesus deep down in your heart and smile from knowing folks in the state of NC, very far from you, are praying for you.
Hey Turkey butt!
Just a reminder….Kaydee and I LOVE YOU!!!
Also …we have a date with you for FRIDAY at Stephanie’s. Wii FIT Challenge is on! Kisses, Kisses, and more Kisses!

GIRLS FROM DR. CARITHERS August 5th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Glad to here you’re done with the treatments. Bet you’re glad to come home. Come by the office when you get back we’d love to see you.
What’s this I hear about you going to Lion Country Safari yesterday! How verrrrry cool and scarrrrry! I am sure you will come home with many wonderful stories about your big adventure. I can’t wait to hear them all! We miss you terribly, but we are glad to know you are having a good time with Grandma Mickie, Grandma Gloria and Uncle Robbie and his family.
I’m re-supplying my crafts closet, so when you come home, we will have even more fun, interesting stuff to make! I Hope you like it! I can’t wait!!! Yippee!
Hey Turkey man. I miss you so much. I know you and mommy don’t have internet access, but I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and I miss you very ,very much. I thought about you the entire time we were in Maine. I hate being so far away from you but thankfully we are home now and I hope to see you this weekend if you get to come home. I love you more than all the grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. LOL !!!
Understandably, you have not been able to post any updates, so I will try to explain, in short, what’s going on:
Chrisanne and Tanner are in West Palm Beach! Tanner is taking his hyperbaric treatments at the facility there. It’s very close to Grandma Mickie’s house (Chrisanne’s Mom)so they are able to stay with Grandma Mickie and Great-Grandma Gloria! That’s a Super Bonus! Our local hyperbaric facilities did not work out, so this was a wonderful answer to our prayers for his treatments. He likes the staff there and the mono-chamber is working out just fine. That Tan-man! He is incredibly adaptable and just rolls with the punches. He and Mommy come home on the weekends to be with Daddy and the rest of the family. No child has ever been loved more.
Chrisanne doesn’t have easy access to the Internet right now, so updates are going to be slow in coming. With her permission, I will try to update in MESSAGES TO TANNER.
Our family appreciates all prayers and good thoughts. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Chrisanne Things must be hairry around there. No updates for a while. Hope all is well got my pic developed. I’ll put them in snail mail. Got one on my fridge of my smiling boyfriend. Give him and Teddy a kiss for me. Love Missie
Hey Guys, Hope you had a Happy July 4th. Think of you often. Hope all is well. Put you on the prayer list at church yesterday. Big hug and kiss . Bet you are glad to be home!!. Love Missie
I hope you remember me! I want to say that I still have you and your family in my prayers. Glad to see that you are swimming strong at the pool. Be good! Take care Chrisanne and Steve
It’s wonderful to hear that you are back at home & having a wonderful time with all your family & friends. Don’t get too waterlogged at your pool party! Sending flying smackeroos your way!
Shelli & all your friends at Ronald McDonald House Jax
P.S. Anita says WOOF!
YAHOO! It’s Pool Party time at Nana’s! We will all be getting together tomorrow to swim and play and graze through the day! Tanner, I can’t wait! It’s your WELCOME HOME POOL PARTY! Starting with lunch and then pool time then poolside snacks and ice-cold drinks, then more pool fun, then fried chicken dinner with corn on the cob and all the trimmings! We will top our day off with Coconut layer cake, apple pie and ice cream! You ready for fun? I’ll see you at 11:00 sweetie! I’m SOOOOOO excited!
hey handsome… glad you and mommy are home this weekend. we wish we could see you… the phone calls just aren’t enough. take care of mommy and daddy and give them lots of hugs and kisses for me. love you to the moon and back buddy.

Hey Tanner,
Every night before I go to bed and after I talk with God, I talk to YOU! Do you hear me? I tell you how much I love you and how wonderful I think you are. I tell you every night that you are a GREAT boy, my precious angel. I tell you I miss you and hope you are doing well with your dives. Listen for me tonight. Maybe you will hear me when you are dreaming. Listen c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y and you will hear my voice. You are on my mind all day every day, honey.
Love, hugs, kisses and a raspberry on your belly, Nana

Hi Tanner!
Anita and I just wanted to tell you Hello, that we miss you and are thinking about you. We both hope you get to feeling better very soon. Love Manya
I am a ski instructor in Colorado and read a story about you in the PSIA (Professional Ski Instructor Association) Magazine about your visit to Montana to ski! You are a super cool and amazing kid! I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease when I was 18 and weathered through all of the treatments, it was tough, but it made me strong and determined. You have these attributes already and I imagine, you will grow up to be an incredible and amazing person!!
Carole & Dan Dunn (Retired MPD) June 3rd, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Hi Tanner—I am sorry to hear that you have been having some problems–We sure hope you are doing better.
Aunt Cynthia and Kaitlyn June 2nd, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Hi Tanner,
Kaitlyn and I are sorry you have not been feeling well. But you are the strongest boy I’ve ever known. And the doctors in Gainesville are very smart. So we say our prayers every night that you will be feeling a little better each day.
Kaitlyn has a very silly new kitten named Lucy who she can’t wait to tell you about. So we’ll come see you soon, because we really miss you. Take care and hug your mom and dad for us!
I’m sorry to report that Tanner’s been experiencing some extremely serious side effects recently from his previous radiation treatments, and had to be rushed up to Shands Hospital in Gainesville for evaluation.
He’s currently undergoing hyperbaric chamber therapy. Although in Tanner’s case this treatment is experimental, the Dr’s are hoping it can offer some relief against these devastating side effects.
Tanner is scheduled for 20 daily hyperbaric treatments … fortunately, they were able to get lodging at the Ronald McDonald House across from the hospital.
Aunt Nonnie and I spent Friday with Tanner, Mom, Aunt Kris and Cousin Kaydee at the hospital. Tanner’s Pap-Pap even drove all the way down from up north today to be with him.
Tanner entertained us with all the new toys Nana, Gran’daddy, Aunt Ditta, Uncle Jack, Cousin Corey and Ryan had brought him the day before.
As many of you know, Tanner is an inspiration to all that meet him, and a tough little guy, but this is a very serious situation, and he can sure use your Prayers and Well Wishes …
I just got finished with my second brain surgery. I talk to you grandma and I am amazed how tough you are. You are my hero. You are like a football player. Despite some hard hits you keep getting up. Thats the name of the game big guy. Be easy on your mom. She is there for you like no one else. I hope to see you soon.
Hi Tanner, you are sooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Tanner.
I really surprised after reading your story.
I also has a baby just 13months old boy.
I believe you are an angel from the heaven to recognize to people what is the most beautiful thing.
Thank you for the So much impression from your never give up fight.
I’ll be also by your side.
hello my little superman… i hope you are feeling better. hopefully we’ll be able to get together soon. alli, big b, j.man and uncle bernie send their love… as well as the whole gang at Justin’s Steakhouse. hugs and kisses.
love you tons.

Love is something that comes free so get all you can get starting right now.

A Special Thank You to Joanne Corson, Associate Editor of The Professional Skier magazine. Joanne made sure Tanner received some copies of the magazine so he could read the article highlighting his “Dreams Come True”ski trip to Moonlight Basin.

Wow, that looked like a fun place. I am happy for you that you got to go and have such a good time. Well, I just wanted to tell you Hi. I wish you happiness and I will keep you in my prayers. Rene’
Just got my copy of “The Professional Skier” magazine and read Duke Millington’s story about Tanner’s visit to Moonlight Basin. I, too, am a ski instructor in Montana. I live about 5 hours from Big Sky. We moved from Pennsylvania about 6 years ago… I longed for more snow and bigger mountains! It’s snowing here today, in fact. I love the pictures on your website!

Tanner had a great 6th Birthday party Saturday at Nana and Grandaddy’s house. Plenty of games,food,friends,family and love.
Thanks to all for your loving thoughts and prayers.
Below is a link to some photos from the party. I’m sure more will be on the way from uncle Jack and cousin Kaydee (bug)…
Hi Tanner,
As many of your messages say, you don’t know me, but I have heard of you from Gregg and Lisa , Kelsey and Brianna. I am Lisa’s mom, and we live on Long Island, New York. You must be a very special boy because so many people love you and say prayers for you, even though they’ve never seen you. I heard you had a really great 6th birthday party, with snow and all. How wonderful! Just know that we will ask God to be with you always. Maybe some day when we come to Florida, we can meet you and your family. Love from us in Northport, NY. Carol and Conrad Pohlmann
Hi Tanner!
You don’t know us, but we have heard of you. Your strength and perseverence is amazing. You obviously have something you need to share with the world- hope, strength, determination, and love, among many other things. You have and will continue to be an inspiration to many others facing similar situations as you have had to face in such a short time here on earth. Keep your faith strong and just know there is a reason for everything. Many of those you have met will likely get stronger because they have seen you do it and it will give them hope and the fighting strength they will need for their own battles, large or small. Faith is a very strong thing and believing that anything is possible is even stronger. I hope to meet you someday and that I will have the chance to hug you and tell you thanks for the inspiration I feel from you. I will send to you through prayer, love and healing light and energy. I pray you beat it!!!
Best wishes for a Very Happy 6th Birthday!!
Love & Light
Debbie & Mandy
Hell-o Tanner… Happy Belated Birthday! Hoping it was a very special day for you and your Parents! I’m Bryanns Mommy!

Tanner,
Hi! I just wanted to wish you a happy belated birthday! I hope you had a great day and got lots of cool presents! You don’t know me but I know of you through Bryann.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Angel

Make sure to build a snowman as tall as you. Travel safely, stay warm, & have a great time.

dear tanner have you been naughty or nice? well i have been running into so many people who tell me what a brave, courageous and good boy yoy have been. santa is always watching over you and i know how hard it has been for you to listen to your mommy and daddy when you have gone through so much being sick and in the hospitol and having tests and seeing so many doctors. you are a very special brave boy. santa has received so many letters telling me all about you. i know it was hard for you to be in the hospitol last year. christmas will be a good time for you this year. i have heard how hard you worked in school and all the good marks you have gotten. keep up the good work. remember your christmas angel will always be with you. i heard you have not been feeling well but are feeling better now. remeber santa loves you. don’t forget to leave me some cookies and milk so i can keep my belly jiggling like a bowl full of jello. listen for those jingle bells on christmas eve night. don’t forget to go to bed early so santa can sneak down your fireplace chimney. keep that beautiful smile you have. i love to see it. love and kisses santa claus ps i love your new glasses and brand new hair color. watch for santa’s reinders when you go on your big snow trip. they will all be on vacation then too after christmas. who knows, you might see them if you look close merry christmas.

Love, Nana and Granddaddy
Wanted to say hi and tell you how glad we are that you are feeling better. The boys sure were upset that we didn’t get to go fishing before we moved back north. They hope they get to play with you if/when you come and visit pap pap. Play hard and tell mommy and daddy we say hello.
Hey my tanner-bannaner… I got so used to having you around that I miss you terribly now that you’re gone. I kinda miss not having your daddy around to harass too. It sure was fun sticking his ice-cream spoon in my nose and licking his ice-cream when he wasn’t looking. Thanks for helping my out with that one!!! I also miss having your mommy around too. It was great having you guys here for so long but it just wasn’t long enough. Everyone at Justin’s misses you too. I’ll be sending you all the pictures soon. There are some really cool ones from the golf tournament.
Missing you tons…
Aunt Candie
xoxoxo
Hi big guy. Just checking to see how you are doing. Uncle Bil said he sent you a message but it would not go thru, so I will see if I can send you one. A.J said to tell you hi and he wants to go to the zoo again and eat some ice cream…me too! Love you buddy, Pap-pap
Looks like we’re back up, and running. Special Thanks to Aunt Deirdre and Uncle Nick
for all of their time and expertise in finding and fixing the “bug” that was corrupting the website.
A lot of neat things have been going on with the Tanner Page family, and we’re looking forward to catching everybody up with all the news…
I’m excited for you to spend time with Aunt Candy and Uncle Bernie, but I miss you already. Have a ball sweetie. Enjoy playing with your cousins and everyone. I will see you when you get back to Florida. Stewart Little is still on the run!
Just a note to say I love you! It was great fun having you and Sissy spend the night last night. What a great appetite you had at breakfast: 3 blueberry and banana pancakes, 2 bacons and a cheese omelet! You cleaned your plate(s)!
See you Tuesday!
Love, Nana
Ms. Crystal (Lapetite) October 20th, 2007 at 7:36 am

Zenon Stephan Francis Siatkowski. Yep, you guessed it I come froma Polish family.
Your Grand-Pa is a very dear friend of mine and although we didn’t work together, we knew each other by name and smile.
Ever since Grand-pa put the news on the air about you, I have been saying a Prayer for you to get well and from what I hear, Prayers are working.
One of these days I’ll get to meet you and tell you alot of nice things I know about Your Gran-Pa. Till then
Feel better and keep on smiling,
Cy
Hey Tanner…. Glad to hear you are feeling better. We talked to your mommy this morning and she told us about your cool website.

Hopefully, mommy can bring you by to see all of us. We would love that.
Tell mommy 7 daddy hi for us.
Hugs and kisses to you….

Hey my tanner-bannaner….
we are counting down the days until you visit. we can’t wait until you, mommy, and daddy get here. there are tons of people waiting to meet you at your “first annual tanner page golf tournament”. i just want to be the first to go on record as stating that i am in no way responsible for you driving a golf cart!!! just joking… no seriously… matty matt drove one into the lake last time he golfed with daddy so that raises my level of concern… naturally!!! justin crawford said to keep you away from his room when he is sleeping…no wet willys… no way. (personally, i think you should torture him.) uncle bernie said you are not allowed to flirt with the girls that are helping with the golf tournament… i say go for it. judy cannot wait to see you… she is counting down the days. of course brandon, alli, and justin are way excited about your visit. you and i have business to conduct when you get here (remember what we were talking about the other night… don’t mess with the best!!!) you and mommy are way to cool when it comes to haloween costumes… thanks for the added pressure to make sure alli, brandon and justin look cool for trick-or-treat. we are going to have sooooooooooo much fun. the leaves are going to be awesome when you all get here… yes i said you all… better stated as y’all!!!!
love you,
your crazy aunt candie
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Hey Tanner… Pap-pap and I hope you had a wonderful time camping last weekend. I understand that you are doing well in school and I can’t wait to hear about all the new things you are learning.. Give Mommy, Daddy and Sissy big hugs and kisses from pap-pap and I.
Gotcha on my mind and in my heart. Just wanted to tell you . . . again and again and again!
Big hugs and butterfly kisses Sweetie-pie!

Hello, my friend,
I just can’t believe it happened again…
I missed the Dynamite Duo; T-N-T (Tanner & Tucker), when you both visited Ronald McDonald House a few weeks ago. It sounds like you had a good visit & I’m glad to hear that you stop in to see us when you are in Jacksonville. Maybe, I’ll get to see you the next visit. I’m keeping my fingers & toes crossed. You sure have been busy with family visits, lemonade making & cookie baking. I was glad to see that you made alot of dollars selling lemonade. Know that I’m keeping you & all your family in my thoughts & prayers. Miss ya bunches around here, especially at snack-time. Lots of love & flying smackeroo kisses from all your friends at Ronald McDonald House. Hope to see you soon, dude. Shelli
I’m glad you, Mommy and Daddy went boating, fishing and camping on an island over the weekend. It was good to be out in the sunshine and cool breezes, wasn’t it? I know it was fun just being together.
Did you look for funny shapes in the clouds when the sun was up? Did you try to count the stars at night? Did you listen to the water lapping on the shore as you lay resting in your tent? I can only imagine.
I thought of you and Mom and Dad out there and I smiled – a LOT!
Hey Turkey Man !!!! I’m so glad that you and mommy got to come to my house yesterday and hangout for awhile. I know that you forgot your ant that you are supposed to build and you also forgot one of your matchbox cars. I will keep them safe and I’ll make sure you get them soon. I’m praying that your MRI appointment goes good and you receive a good report from the doctors. Did you scare Daddy with that hairy spider??? LOL !!! I love you very,very,very, much. I’m sending you tons of hugs, kisses, and prayers. Forever yours, Dita
Hi Tanner!
Kaydee and I had a great time with you and sissy this weekend! You beat me in Battleship once again. Watch out. I will get you next time! Ha Ha!
Love you lots!
Aunt Kris
God and his angels parted the clouds just long enough for us to have a great yard sale and a super lemonade stand! It was obvious you were having fun with that constant big smile on your face. Goodness! You sold so much lemonade! There was a crowd at your stand the whole day long! You are a natural salesman, kiddo. Perhaps your flashing blue eyes had something to do with it? Hmmmm. It’s always fun when we are together, isn’t it! Congratulations on your awesomely successful lemonade stand Tanner! I’m so proud of you.
Hi Tanner….what’s up? You better not eat all the cupcakes and drink all that lemonaid…..maybe you should save a few for me and your grandaddy….yep ,thats a pretty good idea! Love ya buddy, Pap-pap xxxxoooo
Hi Tanner!
I Liked your pictures! I miss you very much. i hope we get to see the snow together. I love you very much! I want to see you very bad! Love, Malia
Hey there my sweetie-pie!
We can’t wait to taste those cookies and cupcakes that you and mommy made for your lemonade stand. MMMMMMmmmmmm – Great! I AM SURE everyone at the yard sale will have a big thirst for lemonade, an appetite for sweets and a GREAT BIG SMILE. It’s gonna be a SUPER DAY! We plan on having a LOT OF FUN with or without the sun!!!
OODLES OF LOVE, KISSES AND HUGS,

WOW…This is Miss Lynne from the Christian School. Boy, I sure miss your HAPPY FACE and those all knowing kind blue eyes.
I think of you all the time and know you are special to everyone who you come in contact with. I love you and miss you!!
It was fun having you and Mom and Daddy here for dinner tonight. You ate SO MUCH LASAGNE! Where did you put it all??? We had fun vising with Ms. Lesa, too, didn’t we? Isn’t she nice and isn’t she pretty? She likes you a lot! Did you know that Grand-Daddy sat on his off button again after you left? I had to wake him up to go to bed. He was snoring so loud he scared Echo. I hope you sleep well tonight little buddy, with sweet dreams.
Hey Tanner….Just looked at your new site. really cool. I miss you and your mom but I’m glad you are doing better. I cannot beleive that you lost another tooth. Tell your mom and dad I siad Hello and Dr. Carithers says HI too. Love you and hope to see you soon. Linda

My dearest Tanner,
It was fun hanging out with you today, playing Go Fish and football checkers. Even though you won each and every time, it was still such great fun!!! I can’t wait til we can do it again. How’d you get sooo smart and soooo sweet and soooo handsome?!!! You are my sunshine!
I’m just an old man, by anyone’s standards. But a man who believes God at His Word, in His Word. That word is not healing but healed. And finding you filled with God’s power to speak encouragement to many. Both you and your parents have been selected to bring hope to a crazy world.

Hey Baby boy, sorry I haven’t been here for a bit, but think about you all the time. Wish you could have been with us all at A. Candie’s when we went to visit. I know your always with us in spirit,but I wish we could have all had you with us to make us laugh more with all your silly jokes and to meet more of your family you didn’t get a chance to meet. I know your would have loved everyone and had lots of fun playing with all the kids. Miss your beautiful blue eyes and your beautiful smile everyday. Wish I could hug you and kiss you one more time and tell you how much we miss and love you. I know your watching over mommy and taking good care of her and Baby Bailey, because she looks so beautiful every time I see her. Good job little angel. I love you more than all the stars in the sky. Love and miss you my little Tan man.

Hello my beautiful Angel……. I miss and think of you every second of every day. As you know, your lil sister will be here soon!!! just what you always wanted:) Every time I think or speak of you she goes crazy moving around and kicking…it’s like she already knows you!!!! I’m sure you had something to do with that!!!! I know you’ll always be watching over her. I love you buddy, and will see you in my dreams.
Love Mommy
May 2nd, 2010 at 7:52 am
Hey baby, Mommy came down and spent a few days with me. You and Daddy are taking really good care of her. She looks so beautiful with your baby sister, Bailey in her tummy. I know you are watching over them both and I’m sure you have already met your little sister, cause she is already a little angel. She sure is beating Mommy up, rolling all around in her tummy, sort of like you. Can’t wait to see her. Mommy looks so happy, but she still misses you terribly and wishes you were here too. I miss you every minute of every day. But I know you will always be with us in spirit and in our hearts. A. Candie and the gang can really use you watching over them too right now, so see if you can pull some strings and help them out. I know you will if you can. I love you baby, more than all the stars in the sky.
April 19th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
Hey Tanner,
Your life story moved me both deeply and emotionally and I felt compelled to leave you a few words.
I came across your website, which your loving family have dedicated to you, and I just want your loved ones to know that my thoughts and prayers are with them.
God be with you my friend and may you rest in peace.
April 15th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Love and miss you Baby every minute of every single day. Love you more than all the stars in the sky. Love you Tanner Bannaner!

Just wanted to wish you a Happy Bunny
Day, Tanner Bannaner. Got my Easter Decorations up for you out side. I hope your having a awesome time helping the Easter Bunny hide eggs for all your friends up there. Mommy told us about yourlittle lamb, I’ll bet your taking really good care of him like you did with Teddy. Just want you to know how much more I love you everyday and miss you terribly. But I know your doing more important things now, but I still miss you , baby. Thanks for watching over Mommy for us, your doing a really good job. Rember I love you more than all the stars in the sky. Happy Easter, little boy.
March 5th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
Just wanted to talk to you little man and tell you how much I think of you every day and blow you kisses and how much I miss you. Your always in my heart, Love. I know now that with all your wisdom, why you left mommy teddy. Not only to keep her company, because she misses you so much, but so you give the baby something too. I really think you knew who would be there soon to take over your pirate booty. I know your watching over Mommy and the baby and keeping her safe. I love you my Little Tan Man more thanall the stars in the sky. Fly high baby. I love you.
February 14th, 2010 at 7:07 am
A big Happy Valentine’s Day to you my little Tanner Bannaner. I’m sending lots of big hugs and kisses to you up there and a litlle piece of my heart for you to hold until I’m there with you again. Thank you for that big heart around the moon the other night, I was so suprised. I loved it. Keep painting me those beautiful pictures in the clouds. Love and miss you so much my little angel. Love you more than all the stars in the sky.
February 10th, 2010 at 10:26 am
Hello precious Tanner,
As you know, I have been talking to you a lot lately. On Monday, your 8th birthday, I looked at all the picture we have of all your terrific birthdays when you were here. You sure enjoyed each and every one. I am sure the celebration in Heaven was the best ever! I wish I could have seen you enjoying your special day this year. I hope you don’t mind . . . I put a copy of the letter I wrote to you last year on Facebook. I want everyone to know what a TERRIFIC guy you are, so I shared it with all the people I know! Everytime I hear a bell ring I imagine you with beautiful wings! You must be having fun with that! We have two hawks that visit our front yard all the time. Having them around makes me feel like you are nearby. I know how you love hawks – just like Grandaddy!
Love you forever and always, Nana

Happy birthday Tan Man, I sure miss having you here with us for your b-day. I know where ever you are, they are giving you one big party, I bet you picked a pirate theme this time. Bet your having lots of fun gathering your loot for in your treasure box and making everyone not a pirate walk the plank. Remember baby, we all miss and love you very much. love you more than all the stars in the sky
February 8th, 2010 at 9:58 am
Happy Birthday, to my most favorite boy! It’s Woo! Just wanted you to know that every day I play the drums in daddy’s pool room under the pirate flag you gave mommy. I know that having you there behind me like that makes me rock out extra good! Mommy and daddy put the T’s up all over the place. it’s fun to think of you in every room.
love you!
Woo
February 8th, 2010 at 9:53 am
Happiest Birthday, Tan Man! Not a day goes by that we don’t celebrate you or all the love and laughter we have in our lives for having you in it. Even tho you’re not here in person to call for Woo across this house, we still laugh and play and feel you here with us.
Talked to your mom today, I could hear it in her voice, how happy and proud she is to celebrate you on this beautiful day. We all miss you so much but are soooooo grateful that you’ve given us so much reason to feel you close every single day.
I know you’re keepin all those angels in line up there…remember, Pirates rule! Everybody else drools!
arrrrrgh!

I have had you and your mom and dad on my mind for weeks. So many times when I walk into the Ronald McDonald House I almost sxpect to see you sitting at the counter in the kitchen. As I have shared your story with so many people, or I look at your picture of you playing with a truck in my office, it is as if I can feel your precious spirit. Very few people have truly touched my heart in the way you did and I am so thankful for the memories you made for me! You were and will always be loved!
January 28th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
Hello my friend,
There’s seldom a day that goes by that I don’t think of you. Hard to do when my favorite photo of you & Tucker is the first thing I see when I walk into RMHCJax everyday. You walked through our doors & into my life at a time of doubt, when I wasn’t sure who I was or what I was going to do. You were a guiding light showing me the way & one of the best reasons I decided to stay to serve other kids & families. Thank you my friend, for that gift, for showing me the way, for being a light in my life every day. We all miss you…
Shelli, all your friends at RMHC Jax, & Anita too.
January 28th, 2010 at 6:55 pm
if sorrow could build bridges and if tears could build highways i would walk right up and bring you home with us.
just you and me baby, love you and miss you.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
thank you so much for the beautiful sunrise this am.the big sun peeking through those big long clouds and the sun’s ray shining down between the clouds likie a rainbow.

…I AM OVER THE MOON
I AM HOME!
January 27th, 2010 at 8:16 pm
WHERE I HAVE GONE
I AM NOT SO SMALL.
MY SOUL IS AS WIDE
AS THE WORLD IS TALL.
I HAVE GONE TO ANSWER
THE CALL, THE CALL
OF THE ONE WHO TAKES CARE OF US ALL.
WHENEVER YOU LOOK.
YOU WILL FIND ME THERE-
IN THE HEART OF A ROSE,
IN THE HEART OF A PRAYER.
ON BUTTERFLIES WINGS,
ON WINGS OF MY OWN.
TO YOU I AM GONE,
BUT I AM NEVER ALONE-
I AM OVER THE MOON…
I AM NOME.
we love you to the moon and back tanner……. forever and ever!

I think about you every moment of everyday.
You are the sun above me head, the grass below my feet, the whisper of the wind, the stars surounding the moon.
You are the breaking of the ocean’s waves, the shealls which lye within the sand.
I will never be without you, you will always be apart of me.
I just wish i could hold you, feel your hand in mine, even if it were for only one last time.
I wish i could’ve told you, i love you before you closed your eyes. I know you already know that i do, but i just wanna hear you say, “I love you two.”
You will always be my little Tan-Tan The Cheerleading Man<3
Im sorry im not to good at writting poems, its the thought that counts though, right?
I love you and I miss you.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:41 am

I miss you dearly. Things have been pretty crazy lately, thinking about our sleepovers and wrestling matches still make me laugh.
Love, Spleen.
August 31st, 2009 at 12:53 pm
…missing you.
August 18th, 2009 at 7:56 pm
I came across your blog today when googling my daughter’s name — Tanner Page. Tanner is six year’s old and was diagnosed with leukemia this past June. I read with sadness about your Tanner. Tanner is not the most common name and I thought it so strange that two children so close in age, sharing an uncommon name, should both have cancer. Perhaps a little of your Tanner, can live on in mine. She is fighting a brave fight, much like your little boy did, I imagine. My deepest sympathy to you… I would like to say I can’t imagine what you are going through, but unfortuntely, I imagine it often. I will say a prayer for your family and your son the next time I see a butterfly.
Love to you all,
Beth Page (the other Tanner’s Mom)
August 8th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Hey Buddy,
I know you know how much I miss you. Everywhere I look I see your beautiful face smiling at me. I just wanted to say “thank you” for letting me find some of your hidden treasures! I put them back exactly where you left them ( but i’m sure you already know that). I wish I could hold you, but I know you are very busy doing beautiful things everywhere. I luv and miss you dearly.
Mommy
July 29th, 2009 at 7:38 am
hey sweetheart,very sad today. i miss you so much. hard not to have you to hug and kiss. i’m blowing my kisses up to heaven for you. miss your silly jokes and sweet,sweet smile and those big beautiful blue eyes. i’ll see you in my dreams and feel you in the soft breeze across my face. i love you my sweet little pirate. gma mickie
July 20th, 2009 at 8:12 am
HEY MY LITTLE TAN MAN I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH. THIS IS FOR YOU AND MOMMY. I REMBER THE FIRST TIME I HEARD YOU AND MOMMY SING THIS SONG. SHE WAS HOLDING YOU IN THE ROCKING CHAIR AND YOU ASKED HER TO SING IT WITH YOU. ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES OF YOU AND MOMMY TOGETHER.
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
MY ONLY SUNSHINE
YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN SKIES ARE GREY
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW DEAR, HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY.
THE OTHER DAY DEAR WHILE I LAY SLEEPING
I DREAMT I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS
WHEN I AWOKE DEAR, I
WAS MISTAKEN, AND I HUNG MY HEAD AND I CRIED.
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
MY ONLY SUNSHINE
YOU MAKE ME HAPPY WHEN SKIES ARE GREY
YOU’LL NEVER KNOW DEAR HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY.
I KNOW THE MIDDLE PART IS NEW TO YOU, BUT YOU KNOW I SING IT TO YOU ALL THE TIME.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH. I THINK OF YOU EVERY DAY.

You are the best mommy in all the world. You are Tanner’s best girl and you are beautiful. Remember, as beautiful as a butterfly. I love you. Mom
May 8th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
hey handsome. it’s been a long crummy week but i had to smile when i saw a butterfly hanging around me at baseball the other night. i don’t know how you always know when i need a little nudge but somehow you do. i miss talking to you over the phone… i miss hearing you in the backround when i’m talking to mommy on the phone. it’s just not the same. i love you to the moon and back… forever and ever.
<3 xoxo aunt candie
May 4th, 2009 at 7:33 pm

April 27th, 2009 at 8:36 am
hey my little Tanner-bananer,well it will be 3 months in a few days since anyone has been able to hug you and kiss you. i know i talk to you every day but its not the same. Every sunrise has been more beautiful than the next since you have gone, even when the day is cloudy and i see your big blue eyes in the sky everyday and the blue ocean when i drive home from work. ihave been seeing this constant star everynight when i walk the dogs and i know it is your way of letting me know your watching over us all. the other night i thought i saw you coming down the road on g. ma gloria’s scooter, but i know it was just wishful thinking. i hope you hear me singing to you at night. funny but i also saw a butterfly that flew around me when a. candie saw you and then flew away. i think you must has stopped in to say hello before you went home with mommy and
daddy. i keep yor teddy next to my heart that mommy gave me when i go to bed. i’m thankful that mommy gave him to me. he helps me sleep at night. i love and miss you so much little man, my heart feels like it broken. i see so many animals in the clouds all the time now , dinosauers ,rabbits, even a pirate ship and lots more and i know you have something to do with it. funny how we all see you when we most need you. i love and miss you so much. more than all the stars in the sky. love yoy baby! grandma mickie
April 25th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
April 24th, 2009 at 6:59 am
hey handsome. thanks for stopping by this morning! I guess you knew somehow that i needed something to calm my morning down and make me smile. it was funny because when the kids came downstairs each of them saw the butterfly in the window by themselves. it was the first thing i saw when i came down the stairs too. when i posted the picture on facebook your mommy and daddy sent me a little message and said to tell you it was time to come home!
you seemed to get it before i even told you and you were on your way. i have to admit when the kids left for school and all was quiet my eyes filled with tears. some were happy tears and some were sad. sometimes we just can’t keep those tears from flowing. things aren’t quite the same without you. mommy had a great time when she was here and we know you were hanging with us too. it was nice to see her laugh when we told stories about you. it was nice at the beach that she took to kids to meditate by the water in the mornings and chat with you. and i know you heard them with mommy saying goodnight too. i love you to the moon and back forever and ever. xoxoxoxo
April 13th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Hey Tanner. I just wanted to let you know that I came across your blog a few months ago. My dad got very sick a little over three months ago. He is now paralyzed from his surgery. Your blog inspired me to encourage my mom to keep one for our family. Last week my mom got the strength to start one. I am so proud of her. God bless you…
Erica
ps…I was in Daytona this past weekend for my dance college national championships. I said a prayer for you while I was there. We won by the way =)

Hey Tan Man,
I’ve had you on the brain lately. Sometimes Woo gives me a look and I just crack up and can feel you laughing with me. Thanks for always picking me up when I’m feeling down. You always have had the ability to make me smile. I know you’re smiling now, too.
Love you!

My Dear little Tanner:
I am sending you this little message I came across. My heart is so broken without you.
If tears could build a stairway
and memories build a lane,
I’d walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
I miss and love you so much. I hear you talking to me in your wind chimes.
Just you and me baby for always.
I love you so much.
Grandma Gloria

Chrisanne and Steve:
I saw this poem and it reminded me of Tanner’s roses and how they bloomed for you.
A rose grew where all could see,
sheltered beside a garden wall,
and, as the days passed swiftly by,
it spread its branches, straight and tall…
One day, a beam of light shone a crevise that had opened wide-
The rose bent gently toward its warmth then passed beyond to the other side…
Now, you who deeply feel its loss,
be comforted-the rose blooms there-
Its beauty even greater now, nurtured by God’sown loving care.
I love you both and I miss you Tanner more than all the stars in the sky. I think of you every time one my roses bloom.
Love and miss you so much.

hi my love. tonight we were coming home from baseball practice and there was a huge full moon that was almost orange. (your favorite color!!!!) The sky was beautiful. Allison commented that it was you saying goodnight and I think it was too. We miss you so much that we can’t quite put it into words but we know you can hear us. We love you to the moon and back forever and ever.

March 5th, 2009 at 7:31 am
Hey Tan-Man!
Thanks soooo much for visiting Grandaddy and me last week. We could feel your presence everywhere! You and I even watched a little bit of Sponge Bob Square Pants. We miss you very much, honey . . . but you already know that, don’t you. You probably also know that our “crazy Kramer” went to join you. He got sick with a blood problem he could not fight. So, as much as we miss our “fuzzy son,” knowing that he is jumping from cloud to cloud with YOU makes it okay. Now we miss BOTH our best guys. Can’t wait to hear all about the fun you two are having when we are reunited one day. Oh, Dita told me you visited her, too! Yep, she told me about how you set her TV up to record Sponge Bob Square Pants! You RASCAL! How funny you are! You are still full of surprises!
All our Love, Nana and Grandaddy

Hey Tanner..Just wanted to share something with you. I went to get in my car the other day and a butterfly was on the door handle and I thought of you. It would not leave, so I patiently waited and it finally flew away, or I thought. When I opened the door it flew in for a ride. Wow what a feeling. It was like you were there and it made me feel good. I know you probably looked down at me and laughed at me because at first it scared me. Thought it was a big bug. You were always good at plaing tricks on me. Love you and miss you, Love Linda
February 20th, 2009 at 8:40 am
God Blessed Child…How could so much time go by that I did’t get to see you??? Ms. Kathleen talked to Mommy & Daddy yesterday, when I saw them at Wal-mart, they told me about what happened in short, and then let me know about your web site.
I’m so happy that I got to see updated pictures of you! Last time I saw you, you were in class at the Port Orange Karate. You were AWESOME!!!! That was like 2 1/2 years years ago, or something crazy like that. I tried to keep in touch but Mommy & Daddy were always so busy w/your family and everything going on w/you that we never got to keep in touch…I’m so so sorry!!! Ms. Kathleen & Gabriel Love you sooooooo very much!!!!!
We will be looking for you at the gates of Heaven Lovey!!! We will see you soon
All our Love!!!! Kathleen & Gabriel

Hey Buddy, it’s Mommy……
I missed you sooooooooo much today…… but then when I went to do the laundry I looked out by your window and saw the rose bush we planted and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Five beautiful roses, the most ever, and they smelled so wonderful and before I knew it, it was like you were right there with me handing me a flower and saying ” a beautiful flower for my beautiful girl” just like you always did. A big smile come over my face and my heart felt warm with your love.
Thank you……
Daddy is taking good care of me just like he promised!!!!
Good night my sweet prince.
Love always your beautiful girl – Mommy
February 19th, 2009 at 4:08 pm

HERE IS THE BUTTERFLY POEM FROM THE MEMORIAL THAT SOME OF YOU ASKED ME FOR.
WHERE I HAVE GONE
I AM NOT SO SMALL.
MY SOUL IS AS WIDE
AS THE WORLD IS TALL.
I HAVE GONE TO ANSWER
THE CALL, THE CALL
OF THE ONE WHO TAKES CARE OF US ALL.
WHENEVER YOU LOOK,
YOU WILL FIND ME THERE-
IN THE HEART OF A ROSE,
IN THE HEART OF A PRAYER.
ON BUTTERFLIES WINGS,
ON WINGS OF MY OWN.
TO YOU I AM GONE,
BUT I AM NEVER ALONE-
I AM OVER THE MOON
I AM HOME.
February 18th, 2009 at 4:02 pm
Hey Handsome, What a wonderful weekend we had celebrating you and everything that you did the short time you were with us. I finally got to meet Tucker and you were right… he is really cool!!! You have so many wonderful friends that I finally got to put faces to the names you would mention all the time. You certainly were and are very much loved. You couldn’t have helped make a more perfect day. I can’t keep track of how many times while we were together with everyone at the beach house how someone would say… remember when this happened or that happened or that was said!!! We laughed and shared a whole lot of wonderful memories that will stay with us forever. Mommy and I were going through lots of pictures and it brought back a flood of memories. Remember when you and Brandon would stick your pacifiers in your mouth and give each other kisses??? We love you SOOOOOOOOOOO much.
Love you to the moon and back forever and ever…
your crazy aunt candie, uncle bernie, justin, alli-bug, and brandon.
February 17th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Hey Lil buddy, it’s mommy……….
I miss you soooooo much. Although you are not here with us I know with every beautiful sunrise that begins my day is you smiling at me, with every bright blue sky I see it’s you looking down at me with those incredible eyes. I hear your laughter as the birds fly high above and all around me, I feel you next to me with every warm breeze that passes by.
Often when Daddy and I are feeling sad we find one of your hidden treasures or a favorite toy that drys away our tears and warms are heart as we begin to laugh and smile.
Thank you so much for letting me take care of Teddy for you……he snuggle wuggles with every night just as if you were there beside me.
Just as we did every night, I still make a wish upon a star, picking the brightest one I’m sure is to be you….. and did you know one of my wishes finally came true…. that you would finally be at peace.
I love you so much and am grateful for all the beautiful things you taught me in life and the ones you are continuing to teach me.
Your celebration of life was one of the most beautiful days I’ve ever seen and I’m sure you had something to do with that….thanks buddy!!!!
Good nite, sleep tight, I’ll see you in the morning – I LOVE YOU
Mommy
February 17th, 2009 at 7:41 pm
Hey Tanner,
Its justin i wanted to tell you that you were a great kid and cousin you always put a smile on my face and other peoples face. You touched so many people and thank you for everything you left me, i will always keep it. I will always remember you and love you Tanner, I hope you are in a better place and are happy. Love you Tanner
February 17th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
Hey little buddy, its daddy, I miss you so much. Im taking good care of mommy and sissy just like you asked. I went to see the sunrise on your birthday and just as I thought it was another beautiful one thanks to you. Later that day we went fishing at our secret spot. I caught the bait while mommy prayed to you asking you to help her catch a keeper redfish. And then it was on! Definately OUR BEST DAY OF FISHING EVER!!!! You once again out did yourself. 9 redfish two keepers and the rest to big to keep 30+ inches. You sent a powerful message to us considering we didnt catch anything but reds and bait. Im crossing out the list of things you left for me to do 1 by 1 it could take some time to complete everything and some will take a lifetime. I am getting lots of support from family and friends. I felt very close to you on my paddle out during the ceremony, you gave me an extra boost of strength and comfort. I dont know how to blow on a conch shell so I used that cool horn thing I bought from kembali the cool shop near red dog surf shop. I know you heard it, it sounds just like a conch shell I blew it seven times for you, One for each of your birthdays and I will continue to for every birthday. You should get a pretty good laugh out of it 50 yrs from now. It will probably take all day and make my face turn purple, but I promise to do it every year no matter where I am. I love you always P.S. show GOD your eyebrow trick. SEEYAh
February 15th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Tanner,
It was just recently that I came across a photo of me holding you in the hospital; just shortly after you arrived.. Although it has been many moons since I last saw your face, one thing is certain..I will never forget how proud you made your Mom and Dad and how your light has brightened their lives forever…
February 15th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Hi Tanner,
I wanted to wish you the best of luck in life. You are a strong little boy, and I know you can do this. I don’t know you, but I can relate to a story similar to this, and reading this touched my heart. Stay strong little one. You’re in my prayers.
Love, Brooke
February 15th, 2009 at 9:46 am
To: Tanner Austin Page
Location: Somewhere above the rainbows beyond the clouds, over the moon, where angels sing . . . Heaven.
My Dearest Tanner,
On February 8, 2002, you were born – a month early. Typical of you, as you always love to make a surprise entrance. You were a “BIG” baby! Though you were a month early, you weighed a whopping 9 pounds! Again, you surprised everyone!
I can remember holding you in my arms that day and gazing into your beautiful sky blue eyes. You were a blur as I was looking at you through my tears of joy. I fell hopelessly in love that day. . . Not with a baby, but with an angel.
Soon after your birth, you just seemed so anxious to grow up, so anxious to “get on with living.“ You possessed a wisdom that I had never seen in other children your age. Your kindness, your thoughtfulness, your concern for others was an example for everyone. You demonstrated God’s love every day of your short life. Surely you were here, with us, for a heavenly reason.
My life would never be the same again. Your arrival rocked my world. You did get on with living and you did it with passion. Though medical hurtles were placed before you, you faced them head-on and pushed forward. Rarely, if ever, did you complain, though I knew you were often in pain or uncomfortable. You endured so much, but always put the needs of others above your own.
You are surely one of God‘s most favorite angels in heaven. Amusing, surprising, loving, considerate and – busy! I can only imagine what fun you are having and the many friendships you are making.
Tanner, I feel terrifically blessed to have had you in my life and will be forever grateful to God for sharing you with our family. We all miss you terribly. We love to reminisce about the great times we had together – with you. We all wish you had not had to leave us so soon.
I know I will see you again one day and expect you will jump out from behind a beautiful rainbow and surprise me with a hearty welcome. Oh, how I look forward to that! Until then, my precious angel, I will see you in the clouds, in the moon and in my dreams.
With all my love forever and always,
Nana Page
PS: We Celebrated your precious life yesterday and you were there with us. I felt you all around me. Didn’t you love the butterflys?! Aunt Candie brought the butterflys. Wasn’t that cool? One landed on Grandaddy’s thumb and wound not leave him. He was sure it was “YOU.” It left his thumb when Daddy and all the surfers took you beyond the breakers. What a beautiful day. What a special day! Sooo many friends and family were gathered together to pay tribute to our very, very beloved Tanner Austin Page. You filled our lives with God’s love and your own. HEY, kiddo, did you like the Party tent we put up in the front yard? I thought you’d get a kick out of that, too. Ya’ loved it, didn’t you! Ha! Ha! I knew you would!! XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
February 10th, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Although I never met him and just read about it all today online, I am sure he was a great boy. It took so much strength and courage for him & the entire family to endure all of that. I am sorry for your loss.
All of you are in my thoughts, RICH HOUK
February 10th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Tanner, Just looked out my office window and thought of you. Blue sky. bright sun and soft breeze. I miss you so much. Keep smiling down on us. Love, Linda
February 9th, 2009 at 11:47 am
As one journey ends, another begins…may you always walk in sunshine and God’s love around you flow, for the happiness you gave the earth, no one will ever know…although it had been a few years since I’ve seen you, I can see the beauty and strength of your character through these photos…Steve and Chrisanne, our hearts, thoughts and love go out to you…goodnight sweet prince and forever enjoy your endless summer…love you all, xoxoxo Nicole, Chris and Zoe
February 9th, 2009 at 8:13 am
Hey Tan Man,
I wanted to light the candle you gave me for your birthday yesterday but went to and found the wick had buried itself inside and couldn’t be lit.
At first I was sad, then I laughed….just as you’ve always made me laugh. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t have to be Feb 7th to celebrate my favorite blue eyed little man.
We celebrate you every day…and are so happy to have you in our lives forever, you make us smarter, happier, and so very grateful for all the memories we’ve shared with you.
When I start to get a little down, there you are, your voice ringing thru the house, ‘Greeeeeeg!, Moooooom!, Daaaaaad!, Bryyyyyyy!, Wooooooooo!!!!!’. Makes me smile every single time.
Thanks for that, Tanner.
and Happy Day After Your Birthday!
so much love,
b
February 7th, 2009 at 2:44 pm

I will so miss you Tanner, but I know you are feeling no pain now and playing with more toys than I know you ever had in your room, and that was alot. Have fun in Heaven Big Man, I Love You. Linda from Dr. Carithers office.

I am so sorry. At first I wonered if Tanner was showing God majic tricks. Then I realized Tanner is experiencing the best “majic” of all – sitting at Jesus’ feet and runnig healed all over heaven. He will be greatly missed and always have a special place in my heart. Keepin all of you in my prayers.
Love,Manya
February 1st, 2009 at 8:00 pm
okay my love… i thought i was going to have to have a long talk with you tonight because i was sure that you were sitting on ben’s shoulder with your angel wings and just when i thought it was over i realized it wasn’t ben’s shoulders you were sitting on it was # 10’s shoulders. sure enough, you gave holmes a little push and kept him in and he scored the winning td. so, instead of complaining to you tonight i am thanking you for that little push. i love you to the moon and back forever and ever. ( i do believe that you were waving that terrible towel today up above!!!)
goodnight.
xoxoxoxxo
yours forever…your aunt (stinky) candie

My precious Tanner, I try to imagine what you are doing right now and the image comes up of you running, skipping, laughing and making friends with angels – like you! It will be a great day when I can be with you again. In between now and then, you will be my first thought in the mornings and my last thought when I go to sleep. I will love you until the end of time and beyond. Thank you for the love, the fun, the wonderfulness you shared with us all. You are missed.
Endless love, Nana (Dee Page)

My sympathy and condolensces to the family. I lost my best friend 5 years ago in December to brain tumors; it is a rough road.

Tanner-I know you will be missed, I hate that I never got to meet you, I heard lots of stories from my dad, and I prayed for you daily. I hope you are enjoying your new home in heaven, I’m sure you wouldn’t trade places with any of us. I know I will get to meet you one day and you can teach me how to play all those Wii games you liked to play.
Page Family- Although my dad and I are eight and a half hours away I hope you can feel the love that we are sending your way. I am so sorry to hear about Tanner, but keep in mind that we will see Tanner again one day. Again I am sorry about your sweet little boy, and I, along with many many others, will continue to lift your family up in prayer.
Love,
Brittany

January 29th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Heaven just gained an angel
So many will surely say
But I know it’s gained a pirate
Patrolling thru each day
Keeping all those angels in check
Makin’ sure they’re good and true.
How is it that I know of this?
Why, I learned this much from you.
I woke today, it was raining
Been raining all night long
They say that’s angels crying
But I think they might be wrong
For what have they to cry about?
They’ve gained a friend, it’s true!
How is it that I figure this?
Why, I learned it all from you.
You taught me that to laugh
It makes the day so bright
For when the chips were down I saw
You stack ‘em with your might
You fought so long and hard, my friend
And smiled the whole way through
How is it that I saw all this?
I paid attention to you.
You showed us all that life can be
Harder some days than others
But that it doesn’t matter when
Your friends are like sisters and brothers
And love is stronger than any tie
It can get ya through the blue
How is it that I know of this?
I saw it all in you.
So now we all must find a way
To use the things you’ve taught
And all the ways you gave us love
Draw strength in how you fought
So fortunate am I to share
My memories with Woo
So she will always know about
The best friend she has in you.
January 29th, 2009 at 11:52 am
Tanner,
You were one special little boy. During your short but meaningful stay here on earth you touched so many hearts. You’ve made this world and all that new you so much better. Thank you with all of our hearts. I know that Heaven will be a greater place with Tanner Austin Page playing there.
Love…Uncle Bil & Aunt Robin
January 29th, 2009 at 11:14 am
Tanner, In your short but meaningful stay with us down here, You have made this world and all those who knew you so much better. I know from the bottom of my heart that Heaven will be a greater place now that you are there. Thank you so very much!

Please know we all remember you and your wonderful family and the time you spent with us here in Jacksonville. We are praying for you. Love, Joy

Tanner – The blue eyed little boy with a million and one differnet facial expressions. You have been a witty entertainer. You have been an inspiration. You have shown a remarkable strength and will to live. Your legacy will be a reminder for us to treasure every single moment of love and laughter that life has to offer. You will forever be in the hearts of all who have loved you.
January 28th, 2009 at 7:42 pm
hey big guy… i loved hearing your voice today. i had a smile from ear to ear just hearing you say hi. i told the kids you said hello and they also had smiles from ear to ear. we love you so very much…
i wish we could have been there for that sunrise the other day… next time you do that you go ahead and call me and i will get up and watch the same sunrise with you… maybe not right next to you but with you at the same time heart to heart. i promise!!! (and i am not an early bird but i would do it for you and you only). don’t ever forget that we think about you every minute of every day.
i love you to the moon and back and forth forever!!!! or as the kids say…. we love you until the cows come home!!! (remember… we don’t have cows so that means infinity, especially since i have no plans to ever have cows!!!)
hugs and kisses…. aunt candie and the whole gang

Hello Tanner. I stumbled across your page. Your story gives me strength because of an ongoing illness my dad has. In Oct we found out he had a 10 inch tumor in his spinal cord. Early January they removed it all, which was a miracle. However, he has been left with paralysis. You are so strong and a beautiful young man. My prayers are with you. Never stop smiling…Take care.

Hello dear family,
I have read the story and am touched by your faith and God’s continuing grace to see you through this. My daughter was diagnosed this past September with a Wilm’s Tumor at age 20 y/o. She will take her last treatment on Jan 28, 2009. It has been tough but He has seen us through as well. Keep the faith! Little man, you have a special purpose. You can count on me to call your name in prayer.

Hi, I don’t know if you’ll remember us. We met you about 2 years ago at Dairy Queen with the Koren Family. My daughter Grace had Medullablastoma(brain cancer) in 2005/2006. Amy Smith is her Doctor and what I remembered, she was Tanner’s as well. Vicki called us today to say hi and told us the news of your son. We enjoyed meeting him soooooooooo much and have even spoken of him a few times through these past 2 years, wondering how he was. You are exactly correct that he leaves you smiling and wanting more. He has such a Beautiful face. He and Grace are a blessing to HOPE. I call these children, “Angels on Earth”. to remind of that there are beautiful sole people that are still being created by God.
Grace has been in remission for almost 2 1/2 years, but was left with a few health issues as well. We are having to start Growth Hormone therapy, she produces none, and there are risks of her coming out of remission. The chances are small, but I am terrified. No matter how long Grace remains in remission, it will never be long enough.
I admire your strength, I know how you feel and will never forget the feeling. I know there is nothing that I can say that you probably have already heard, but when you are in town call us. We would love to see you all again.
Laurel, Grace and Jack too! 352-316-3305
January 13th, 2009 at 9:20 am
Hey Tanner! Woo is sleeping right now, but we were thinking of you earlier and I wanted to tell you that WE MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY!!! and hope to visit again soon.

To all of Tanner’s wellwishers and many friends,
I write this with broken heart and lots of tears. I recently visited with Tanner, Chrissy, and Steve. Things are not what one would hope for, but I know God has a reason and I except that. So with that said, I would like to thank you all for your gifts to Tanner and all your prayers. They have helped a little boy that is loved so much by many! An update will be coming soon on Tanner, it hard right now for Steve and Chrisanne to update the website as there are many things that need to be done. So to all I say Merry Cristmas and to all a good night…..
P.S. YES there really is a Santa Claus and Angels among us.
Love Pap-Pap, Grandma Janet and Jackelyn

(no more pinning me down and torturing me though… your mom best not post those photos on the web!!!) We can go to Spinners again and hang out. I’m sure Lynette and everyone there will be excited to see you again. I can’t wait to see your bobble-head skeleton costume. make sure mom and dad take lots of pictures and post them on the site. I wish we could be together for Halloween like last year… that was fun. all 3 kids are going to be scary this year. Even though you won’t be here with us to trick or treat at least we get to see you soon. we are counting down the days again…

October 6th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Hey lil man.I pray that you are well. Hey Tanner’s mom and dad. I also pray that you both are staying strong for eachother but most of all for Tanner. I found out about Tanner a few months ago from Crystal Tanners aunts bestfriend she asked me to please keep Tanner in our prayers, and that, I have done. Tonight during our family bible study God put Tanner in my heart and mind. I am here to see the updates on Tanner. Remember one thing God is a God of miracles.If you BELIEVE and have FAITH all things all are possible.Tanner has touched many lives, he has touched my life and I have not met him yet. Know that you have many who are praying for Tanner and your family. I spoke to Tanners aunt (Riggi Doo) lol..I think that is so cute.. So I got to meet her and told her that my pastor and I would love to go and pray for Tanner’s healing.( ALL THINGS ALL POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND HAVE FAITH IN HIM) PLEASE KEEP STRONG IN THE LORD,HE IS THE ONE WHO IS CARRYING YOU THROUGH ALL OF THIS. I PRAY FOR YOUR FAMILY,AND TANNERS HEALING. GOD KEEP YOU ALL.
LOVE VENUS.

Dear Tanner,
Howdy! You are being thought of and prayed for from NORTH CAROLINA! I live in Pisgah Forest — it’s a small little town in the mountains. I hope you are feeling all the blessings that we are praying for you!
(Also, maybe your parents could visit a website that may be of interest! It’s http://www.alivazatos.com. I have a friend, Sam Hendon (and his dad, Willie Hendon) who have stories on there. Feel free to email me!)
Tanner, you must be pretty special, because you sure do have a lot of love being sent to you by a WHOLE LOT of people!!!
Lots of Love from North Carolina!!
Your Friend,
Rebecca Kiel
October 5th, 2008 at 5:45 pm
Hello Tanner, I learned about you and your neat website from Sean Barrie, a member of our Brevard Community Church in Western NC.
It is my prayer that you will feel the love of Jesus deep down in your heart and smile from knowing folks in the state of NC, very far from you, are praying for you.
May the Good Lord bless and keep you, Tanner.

Hey Turkey man. I miss you so much. I know you and mommy don’t have internet access, but I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and I miss you very ,very much. I thought about you the entire time we were in Maine. I hate being so far away from you but thankfully we are home now and I hope to see you this weekend if you get to come home. I love you more than all the grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. LOL !!!
July 17th, 2008 at 8:40 am
Dear Tanner, Chrisanne, Steve and Everyone,
Understandably, you have not been able to post any updates, so I will try to explain, in short, what’s going on:
Chrisanne and Tanner are in West Palm Beach! Tanner is taking his hyperbaric treatments at the facility there. It’s very close to Grandma Mickie’s house (Chrisanne’s Mom)so they are able to stay with Grandma Mickie and Great-Grandma Gloria! That’s a Super Bonus! Our local hyperbaric facilities did not work out, so this was a wonderful answer to our prayers for his treatments. He likes the staff there and the mono-chamber is working out just fine. That Tan-man! He is incredibly adaptable and just rolls with the punches. He and Mommy come home on the weekends to be with Daddy and the rest of the family. No child has ever been loved more.
Chrisanne doesn’t have easy access to the Internet right now, so updates are going to be slow in coming. With her permission, I will try to update in MESSAGES TO TANNER.
Our family appreciates all prayers and good thoughts. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
With Love, Nana (Steve’s Mom, Dee Page)
July 16th, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Chrisanne Things must be hairry around there. No updates for a while. Hope all is well got my pic developed. I’ll put them in snail mail. Got one on my fridge of my smiling boyfriend. Give him and Teddy a kiss for me. Love Missie

Hi Tanner,
I hope you remember me! I want to say that I still have you and your family in my prayers. Glad to see that you are swimming strong at the pool. Be good! Take care Chrisanne and Steve

I tell you every night that you are a GREAT boy, my precious angel. I tell you I miss you and hope you are doing well with your dives. Listen for me tonight.

June 4th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
I am a ski instructor in Colorado and read a story about you in the PSIA (Professional Ski Instructor Association) Magazine about your visit to Montana to ski! You are a super cool and amazing kid! I was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease when I was 18 and weathered through all of the treatments, it was tough, but it made me strong and determined. You have these attributes already and I imagine, you will grow up to be an incredible and amazing person!!
June 3rd, 2008 at 5:40 pm
Hi Tanner—I am sorry to hear that you have been having some problems–We sure hope you are doing better.
June 2nd, 2008 at 2:27 pm
Hi Tanner,
Kaitlyn and I are sorry you have not been feeling well. But you are the strongest boy I’ve ever known. And the doctors in Gainesville are very smart. So we say our prayers every night that you will be feeling a little better each day.
Kaitlyn has a very silly new kitten named Lucy who she can’t wait to tell you about. So we’ll come see you soon, because we really miss you. Take care and hug your mom and dad for us!
Love, Aunt Cynthia and Kaitlyn

Hi Gals and Guys,
I’m sorry to report that Tanner’s been experiencing some extremely serious side effects recently from his previous radiation treatments, and had to be rushed up to Shands Hospital in Gainesville for evaluation.
He’s currently undergoing hyperbaric chamber therapy. Although in Tanner’s case this treatment is experimental, the Dr’s are hoping it can offer some relief against these devastating side effects.
Tanner is scheduled for 20 daily hyperbaric treatments … fortunately, they were able to get lodging at the Ronald McDonald House across from the hospital.
Aunt Nonnie and I spent Friday with Tanner, Mom, Aunt Kris and Cousin Kaydee at the hospital. Tanner’s Pap-Pap even drove all the way down from up north today to be with him.
Tanner entertained us with all the new toys Nana, Gran’daddy, Aunt Ditta, Uncle Jack, Cousin Corey and Ryan had brought him the day before.
As many of you know, Tanner is an inspiration to all that meet him, and a tough little guy, but this is a very serious situation, and he can sure use your Prayers and Well Wishes …
Thanks Again for all Your Help …..
Uncle Harvey

February 11th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Hi Tanner,
As many of your messages say, you don’t know me, but I have heard of you from Gregg and Lisa , Kelsey and Brianna. I am Lisa’s mom, and we live on Long Island, New York. You must be a very special boy because so many people love you and say prayers for you, even though they’ve never seen you. I heard you had a really great 6th birthday party, with snow and all. How wonderful! Just know that we will ask God to be with you always. Maybe some day when we come to Florida, we can meet you and your family. Love from us in Northport, NY. Carol and Conrad Pohlmann
February 11th, 2008 at 7:21 am
Hi Tanner!
You don’t know us, but we have heard of you. Your strength and perseverence is amazing. You obviously have something you need to share with the world- hope, strength, determination, and love, among many other things. You have and will continue to be an inspiration to many others facing similar situations as you have had to face in such a short time here on earth. Keep your faith strong and just know there is a reason for everything. Many of those you have met will likely get stronger because they have seen you do it and it will give them hope and the fighting strength they will need for their own battles, large or small. Faith is a very strong thing and believing that anything is possible is even stronger. I hope to meet you someday and that I will have the chance to hug you and tell you thanks for the inspiration I feel from you. I will send to you through prayer, love and healing light and energy. I pray you beat it!!!
Best wishes for a Very Happy 6th Birthday!!
Love & Light
Debbie & Mandy

Tan-Man and Page family,
‘Sup! Nice video at Moonlight Basin! Had me all broken up here at work…beautiful, positive vibrations for sure. We hope to make it down for Tanner’s B-Day for a quick visit…I’m still working out the details with Holly.
Much love to all of you…see you real soon. Also, the invite to come up and hit the hot-tub here while the pool is still too cold is always, always open…and when it does get warm? C’mon cause the pool is on!
Best regards,
Yo’ Brutha’

dear tanner have you been naughty or nice? well i have been running into so many people who tell me what a brave, courageous and good boy yoy have been. santa is always watching over you and i know how hard it has been for you to listen to your mommy and daddy when you have gone through so much being sick and in the hospitol and having tests and seeing so many doctors. you are a very special brave boy. santa has received so many letters telling me all about you. i know it was hard for you to be in the hospitol last year. christmas will be a good time for you this year. i have heard how hard you worked in school and all the good marks you have gotten. keep up the good work. remember your christmas angel will always be with you. i heard you have not been feeling well but are feeling better now. remeber santa loves you. don’t forget to leave me some cookies and milk so i can keep my belly jiggling like a bowl full of jello. listen for those jingle bells on christmas eve night. don’t forget to go to bed early so santa can sneak down your fireplace chimney. keep that beautiful smile you have. i love to see it. love and kisses santa claus ps i love your new glasses and brand new hair color. watch for santa’s reinders when you go on your big snow trip. they will all be on vacation then too after christmas. who knows, you might see them if you look close merry christmas.

It was great having you guys here for so long but it just wasn’t long enough. Everyone at Justin’s misses you too. I’ll be sending you all the pictures soon.

Your Grand-Uncle Harvey is a very dear friend of mine and although we didn’t work together, we knew each other by name and smile.
Ever since Grand-Uncle put the news on the air about you, I have been saying a Prayer for you to get well and from what I hear, Prayers are working.
One of these days I’ll get to meet you and tell you alot of nice things I know about Your Gran-Uncle Harvey. Till then
Feel better and keep on smiling,

Hey my tanner-bannaner….
we are counting down the days until you visit. we can’t wait until you, mommy, and daddy get here. there are tons of people waiting to meet you at your “first annual tanner page golf tournament”. i just want to be the first to go on record as stating that i am in no way responsible for you driving a golf cart!!! just joking… no seriously… matty matt drove one into the lake last time he golfed with daddy so that raises my level of concern… naturally!!! justin crawford said to keep you away from his room when he is sleeping…no wet willys… no way. (personally, i think you should torture him.) uncle bernie said you are not allowed to flirt with the girls that are helping with the golf tournament… i say go for it. judy cannot wait to see you… she is counting down the days. of course brandon, alli, and justin are way excited about your visit. you and i have business to conduct when you get here (remember what we were talking about the other night… don’t mess with the best!!!) you and mommy are way to cool when it comes to haloween costumes… thanks for the added pressure to make sure alli, brandon and justin look cool for trick-or-treat. we are going to have sooooooooooo much fun. the leaves are going to be awesome when you all get here… yes i said you all… better stated as y’all!!!!
love you,
your crazy aunt candie

Dear Tanner,
I’m glad you, Mommy and Daddy went boating, fishing and camping on an island over the weekend. It was good to be out in the sunshine and cool breezes, wasn’t it? I know it was fun just being together.
Did you look for funny shapes in the clouds when the sun was up? Did you try to count the stars at night? Did you listen to the water lapping on the shore as you lay resting in your tent? I can only imagine.
I thought of you and Mom and Dad out there and I smiled – a LOT!
Kisses and Hugs, Nana
October 10th, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Hey Turkey Man !!!! I’m so glad that you and mommy got to come to my house yesterday and hangout for awhile. I know that you forgot your ant that you are supposed to build and you also forgot one of your matchbox cars. I will keep them safe and I’ll make sure you get them soon. I’m praying that your MRI appointment goes good and you receive a good report from the doctors. Did you scare Daddy with that hairy spider??? LOL !!! I love you very,very,very, much. I’m sending you tons of hugs, kisses, and prayers. Forever yours, Dita

God and his angels parted the clouds just long enough for us to have a great yard sale and a super lemonade stand! It was obvious you were having fun with that constant big smile on your face. Goodness! You sold so much lemonade! There was a crowd at your stand the whole day long! You are a natural salesman, kiddo. Perhaps your flashing blue eyes had something to do with it? Hmmmm. It’s always fun when we are together, isn’t it! Congratulations on your awesomely successful lemonade stand Tanner! I’m so proud of you.
I love you!

It was fun having you and Mom and Daddy here for dinner tonight. You ate SO MUCH LASAGNE! Where did you put it all??? We had fun vising with Ms. Lesa, too, didn’t we? Isn’t she nice and isn’t she pretty? She likes you a lot! Did you know that Grand-Daddy sat on his off button again after you left? I had to wake him up to go to bed. He was snoring so loud he scared Echo. I hope you sleep well tonight little buddy, with sweet dreams.
I love you,

My dearest Tanner,
It was fun hanging out with you today, playing Go Fish and football checkers. Even though you won each and every time, it was still such great fun!!! I can’t wait til we can do it again. How’d you get sooo smart and soooo sweet and soooo handsome?!!! You are my sunshine!
All my love, Nana

Tanner,
I’m just an old man, by anyone’s standards. But a man who believes God at His Word, in His Word. That word is not healing but healed. And finding you filled with God’s power to speak encouragement to many. Both you and your parents have been selected to bring hope to a crazy world.
My heart is filled with you every morning when I pray. Thing will get better. Duke
