I want to thank each one of you who prayed for Mallory and my family.  God has a wonderful Angel in Heaven and I know she is dancing and I know she is in no pain now.  She will be missed by so many many people.  I am so proud and honored to be her Maw Maw.  There are no words in the dictionary to describe my feelings about this Angel.  My heart aches for her but knowing we, as Christians, will see her again one day.    I know she is walking the streets of gold and is singing the song "If you could see me now".  I can only imagine how she is talking to everyone and being funny and making  people laugh and the good time she is having her Paw Paw.  I will truly miss my Mallory.  It was so hard to give her up but even harder to see her suffer.    I loved her so much and will miss her calls and text on the phone.  She, along with my other grandkids, used to kid me all the time  about some words I said.  I was entertainment for her a lot of the time when we were together.   As  I held her little  hand and watched her take her last breath I knew this was something that had to be done.  I know she is looking down at all of us and seeing the outpoor of friends and family.  Our God is an awesome God  and our Mallory is up in Heaven now. We love you so much Mallory Elaine Smith...(MES and thats what you were a mess and funny)  God Bless my family and friends who have stood by my families side during the past four and a half years.  May God Bless you all now and forever. 

Maw Maw and Robert

My heart is aching for all of you. I cannot imagine the loss that you are feeling. I am heartened to know that Mallory is with her PawPaw and resting in the hands of our Lord.  I know that your time with her was short and it seems so unfair. God had other plans for your sweet Princess, and it is not always easy to understand. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so saddened that Mallory could not get well. She was a wonderful patient , always so courteous and courageous and beautiful. I know she had the best care we could offer and she fought hard to beat the infections. I hope the Smith family will have peace knowing that she is with God, breathing freely of the heavenly air. I have a 24 yr old daughter so I cannot imagine the grief her family is feeling.

Dear sweet angel Mallory, I am so saddened by your passing. I"ve been balling my eyes out all day; my heart is hurting. I know you are no longer in pain and are finally free. You are with our Jesus now. I love you Miss Mal!

I miss you so much and will never ever forget you. You will always be with me in my heart. I am so proud of you for fighting so hard but now you can rest. Thank you for being my sweet friend. I will always remember that bubbly personality of yours and your adorable cute face which always made me smile.

Dear Lisa, family and Joe, I can"t begin to imagine the pain this must be for you. My heart goes out to you and I pray for you peace during this time.

Please know that although Mallory isn"t with us physically that she will not be forgotten. She has touched so many lives and I am sure she will continue to inspire anyone who sees her story.

Izzie (Mal"s precious liver) Thank you for sustaining Mal and allowing her to have the last three years.

God Bless and Love, Terri

Smith Family, I never personally knew Mallory in high school but I knew of her. I was involved with the cheerleading program (though not on the same squad as Mallory) and I had a few classes with her. I was always afraid to tell her that I was rooting for her since the beginning of her long journey but I always was. There was always a fear that my words wouldn"t seem sincere because I didn"t know her on a personal level. I"m regretting that decision now. I know that nothing can make the pain that you feel from losing your daughter go away but I wanted you to know that she touched my life in so many different ways. I"ve followed her journey and prayed for her along the way and I was always inspired by her love for God and how in everything she went through she always turned to Him. I have seen her fight so hard and still be faithful and it makes me stop to think about why I shouldn"t be faithful and have as much love for the Father in the easiness of my every day life. I am deeply moved by Mallory"s story and I see the purpose her life has had in mine so I can"t even begin to imagine how much she inspired the people that were much closer to her than I. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. She was an amazing person and her story has changed my life. I am sure that I am not the only person she has changed through her journey and her memory will live on. Thank you for sharing your story with me. I will continue to pray for your family. I know Mallory is in a much better place and I can"t wait until I see her again in heaven and I"ll be able to tell her how much her life meant to me and the people around her. Danielle

Mallory was spunky, so very bright, and full of vim and vigor. I realized this within the first moments after meeting her when she was well enough to join my anatomy class after receiving the gift of Doug. She has been an inspiration to so many, and I am humbled and grateful that I was one of her teachers.
Still praying...for peace and comfort to her family and those who dearly loved her.

I am so sorry of your loss. I didn"t know Mallory, but started following her story when a friend asked for prayers for her. It quickly became my habit to check the website daily, read the update and say a prayer for her. Her story was moving. I was touched by all the things she had to go through in her short life and the courage and faith she and her family had. I am so sorry for your loss, but have to thank you for sharing her journey.

May the peace of the Lord by with you.

No words can comfort a torn heart right now but know that the Lord holds your Angel Mallory"s hand today as she watches over all of you.

                        Mallory                                                                      

For only a while we knew you, our love made complete through you,

Your place now,most precious peace, Amid the heavens in sweet release,

Never again bound by pain, Set free from earth"s bitter claim,

Oh how joyous our babe must be, Now safe in the arms of eternity,

Oh death where is your haunting sting, For with angles now, this one will sing.

I pray that God will wrap his arms around your family tonight and give you comfort and peace. You can take comfort in knowing that Mallory never gave up and neither did her family or friends.I never got to meet her, but she had to be an amazing person,because her family and friends are.If there is anything that we can do for you, please know that we are here for you. We will continue to pray for your family.

Dearest Smith Family~
Words can not begin to express my sincerest condolences.  How I prayed each day that I checked in that she"d continue to get better with each day as she was a fighter!  I have no doubt she was continuing to fight but her body just couldn"t keep up and it was time for her to go home. 

This poem was used when my grandmother passed and I have no doubt that she and Mallory were women with a strong core, a loving heart and an incredible fighting spirit!  I wanted to share it:

God"s Garden Must Be Beautiful
God looked around the garden, and found an empty space.
He looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest.
God"s garden must be beautiful for he takes only the best.

He knew that you were weary, and he knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never, be well on earth again.
He saw the roads were getting rough, the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn"t go alone.
Part of us went with you the day God called you home.

In searching for something to say, I also found this and I modified it a bit to better suit Mallory, but wow, it struck me most about how she was such a fighter.. (and there was no author to credit...)

Little angel, sent from God
To a desperate world in need,
You touched the hearts of those you loved,
With every word and deed.

The pain you suffered and endured,
Would have conquered a weaker soul
Your willful, fighting, hope-filled heart
Placed you in a stronger role.

Twenty-two precious years
You showed God"s grace to those around
You gave them all love, and life and hope
When darkness would surround

Now in heaven, Mallory, please,
Keep watch o"er your dearest father, mother and brother
And always remember, won"t you please
You were loved like no other.

Lisa, you and yours remain in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  God Bless and keep you, now and always.

While she is in a much better place than we are, her memory will stay with every one.  Just know that the journey your family has been on has touched more lives than you will ener know.  She will live on through the many lives she has touched.  May the Lord continue to comfort and lift you up.
