Cancer was NOT what defined Connor, a remarkable ZEST FOR LIFE, love for his family and friends, never uttering a complaint about his illness, his caring and compassionate nature......those are just a few of a long list of things that defined Connor. Cancer did NOT defeat Connor, Connor acquired the ultimate victory over cancer!

Monday, November 10, 2008 10:26 AM CST Good morning, faithful Connor fans. It warms my heart to know that after four years following his passing to Heaven, that there are still those of you who faithfully sign the guestbook and provide words of encouragement. As many of you know, Connor would've turned 14 years old on Halloween of this year, and the following day, November 1, 2008, was the fourth anniversary of his death. October is always the worst month of the year for us........we miss Connor so very much!
I am gearing up to start the 2008 Connor's Courage Toy Drive, for Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. Anyone wanting to donate a toy (no stuffed animals please), you may email me at rshunley@comcast.net, and I will provide you with my mailing address. I would like to have all of the toys and/or gift cards by December 15th, so that I can make the delivery to the hospital in plenty of time for Christmas. It is a great Church or School project, and helps put smiles on some very sick children's faces who are hospitalized at Christmas-time.
Also, I have the 2009 Relay For Life website up and running. The Connor's Courage team will be participating this year. It will be held on May 1, 2009, at Drake's Creek Park in Hendersonville. For anyone wanting to make an online donation to support the team's efforts, the link is as follows:

Again, thank you all for continuing to check in! It means more to all of us that you will ever know. God bless you all and have a wonderful Holiday Season. Be thankful for the gifts God has given you! :)
Love and hugs, Rhonda, Forever Connor's Mommy
