  25. I have known Ted’s wife Barbara for many years. Although we have never met, please know that my family and I have walked in your shoes. My niece was diagnosed with a brain tumor at 15 years old. She is now a happy 39 year old wife and mother. Prayers work and miracles do happen. We are praying for you to have strength during this fight and for your little Raena to heal quickly.

  33. Hello:
    I am a close friend of the Cacho-Negrete family. My 11 year old son Lucas is good pals with Cole. We love their entire family.

I want you and your family to know that we are praying so hard for her and have lit a candle in her honor to shine bright for Hope and a positive outcome very soon.
    KEEP THE FAITH.
