Mallory - I am working on the same project that your Dad is and I"ve been following your progress for many months.  Your Dad and Tim Robertson has kept our team informed about how you are doing and about how your Dad is holding up.  You have certainly had your ups, downs, bumps in the road, and successes.  I pray that we will hear more very soon about the successes.

I want you to know that I think you are an extremely brave & strong person.  I don"t think that many of us could go through what you are and remain so positive and strong.  Though you don"t know me, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  I pray that this current bump will smooth out soon and that you"ll be on your way to recovery.

Hey Mal!!

I know its been hard here lately but I promise it will get better soon. That is how life goes you know with all the ups and downs that come along. It just seems that sometimes that you won"t ever get back up but you will because you are strong and have faith and thats all you need. It also helps to have an amazing support team like you do. with all these people that love and care about you. We just can"t help but to love you!!

Anyways we just wanted to say that we love you and hope you start feeling better and better everyday!!

With lots of love

It was so good to see you smile last night!  Since you make so many people around you smile.  You have been such a joy as a patient and as a person.  You truly are an amazing person.  You have helped me put life into perspective with your consistanly positive attitude after all the obstacles you have had in your life!  Your the strongest person that I know with a heart of gold.  I am going to miss you and your family tremendously when I move.  I"ll have nobody"s room to hide in anymore!  You will get through this with flying colors! 

Q:  What do you call a surgeon with eight arms?

A:  A Doctopus    

Keep on smiling!!

Mal I don’t know where to start, but I must say that this has truly been the most adventures almost 10months of my life! We have been through so much together, from the good times to the rough times, but you and I have always stuck together! Even thou you are going through some of the roughest times in your life at the moment, you have always stayed positive and had a positive outlook on life! This is truly an amazing gift that you have because unfortunately in today’s society, we humans focus on the negative things in our life instead of the positive, but you have always looked at the bright side of things and have always had your eyes on the light in the end of the tunnel! I know of no one that could have survived these hard times except you Mallory! You truly are an inspiration to me and to anyone else that has heard your story! It is always how we face the challenges in our life that truly defines us! You have faces these challenges with the utmost bravery, and you have truly shown the world that you are indeed a worrier! With lots of love….your number 1 fan …….

hey Mallory, I just want you to know that we are all praying for you & I hope you have a speedy recovery.  You are such an amazing girl & I truely admire your courage & strength. 

Madison wanted me to tell you that she misses you & she loves you.  She talks about you all of the time.  She even stood up in her classroom the other day & told her classmates about her cousin Mallory!! 

I love you, continue to be STRONG!!

Dear Mallory,

Sorry I missed seeing you at the hospital yesterday.  Your sweet Mom and I had a good chat and we were all sorry to hear all you have been going through this summer.  We will be lifting you up in prayer and hope that wonderful new liver arrives SOON!  May the Lord encourage you daily.  A favorite verse of mine: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.  Let not youir heart be troubled, neither let it be aftraid."  Jn. 14:27

In Him,

Danny & Karen Shaw (Kelley"s parents)

Hello Mallory,

I work with your mother and have only known her for a few months, but it feels as though I"ve known her for a long time. She is an amazing woman and I from what I know and hear, like mother like daughter.

I"ve been praying for you and your family before I met your mother and I will continue to pray. 

Kimberly Beam

Hi Mallory,

I"m Tammy Daniel.  My baby daughter Rachel was in room 467 next to you at Egleston and we met you and your mother yesterday.  I just wanted you to know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers since we met you and your mother yesterday.   You are such a beautiful, strong young lady.  We are praying for strength for you and your family, and that a liver will be available quickly.  We will be keeping up with you through your web page and will continue to pray.  We are going to put you on our church prayer list also. 

Prayerfully,

Tammy, Mike, and Rachel Daniel

Mallory you are loved and being prayed for by so many people. Your courage and positive attitude is such an inspiration to so many. You are amazing!  And so is your mom. I work with her at the bank. I pray that God has his healing hands upon now and always.

Rhonda Putnam

 Hi Mallory, Just wanted to say hello and that I say a prayer for you every day and I    know that God answers prayers and I"m sure that he has received thousands from everyone that is praying for your speedy  recovery. God Bless You And Your Family.

Good Morning Mallory,

On Katherine Arnold"s website her mom requested prayers for you and I wanted you to know I have added you to my Prayer List.  God is faithful and as others continue to lift your name up in prayer you can Trust that He is with you!!  We are Bulldog fans so we"d give a shout out to you to Hunker Down and continue your battle with that Bulldog determination.  UGA will be blessed to have you on their campus!!

Praying for your wait to be a time of peace and brief so that you can carry on with your future plans.  You are blessed with a loving family and dear friends.

Blessings from Powder Springs,

Mallory:

I work at Georgian Bank in the Gwinnett office.   I heard about you from the constant email updates your mom is sending.  It wasn"t until I was able to go to your website that I could put a face with a name.  Obviously, you are a beautiful young lady with lots of living to do.  I believe that God has put this hardship in your path for a reason.   Keep up the fight!  My husband and I are praying for you, your family and your doctors everyday.  One day when you are an old grandmother, you can tell your grandchildren about this time in your life and how all things worked together for your good.

Much love,

Nona 

Hey Mal -

I got your info from Katherine Arnold"s Caring Bridge site and just wanted to stop by and wish you well! I hope that you get the new liver very soon and that this one will work for you without any further complications.

I have known the Arnold family for 22 years - I used to work for "Doc" Bill Arnold - I now work for the Hebbergers who are big members of your Kennesaw Mountian family, so I feel a connection to you and just wanted to let you know ---- I care and I"ll be thinking of you and praying for you!!!

Blessings -

The Dinning Family - Lisa, Kamryn and Kason

Hi Mallory,

I just started attending the church where Larry Hawk goes in Marietta.  I believe he works with one of your parents.  Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that there are many people praying for you right now.  The ladies in their bible class tonight, lifted up your name in prayer, and I hope that gives you some comfort right now, and that God will restore your health to you soon.

Love,

Leslie Green

Hi Mal,

Does this mean we are "expecting" Doug, Jr????

Hope you have a good night and can get some rest!

We"ll see you sometime this week-end.  I have some more cards for you.

Everyone said "HELLO"!

Love Ya!

Hi Mallory and family,

My name is Heather Snyder, and I learned about you from my friends at the Georgia Transplant Foundation.  I am 25 years old, a liver and kidney recipient, and a mentor for GTF.  I wanted to drop you all a note to let you know that I was thinking about ya"ll and keeping Mallory in my prayers.  I was glad to hear that they had made thedecision to list her again...I know how hard that is to hear, but I am glad that part of the journey is settled. 

Mallory, if you need anyone to talk to please know that I am here.  I will try to give you a call sometime soon.  If you would like to call me my number is 706-302-6909.  Congratulations on the scholarship!!!     

HANG IN THERE!  You Smith"s are made of sturdy stock and will get through this. 

Continued prayers are headed your way and while, I know you"re a BAMA fan at heart - I just have to throw in a prayer that you become a UGA grad, too!  We need you in our Alumni ranks!

Paige

Mallory,

I am working with your Dad on the Weyerhaueser project. He is a great guy. We have had several conversations about the time he worked in western South Dakota. I lived out there for many years.

I hope you are feeling better today. I pray for you on a daily basis. Get well soon and keep smiling.

Kirk Titus 

Mal,

We never got to get to know eachother in high school.  I remember, though in elementary school you sweet and fun (rememeber that Hanson fan club? You made me take a trivia quiz before I could join! : D )

Anyway....

You can get through this.  You"re strong and you"ve already made it this far.

We are all rooting for you!!!

With love and encouragement,

Jessica

Hi Miss Mallory,

Just a note to let you know I"m thinking of you....Ms. Fak mentioned you at our faculty meeting today and told everyone that it looks like you"re in the market for Doug"s replacement. All of the faculty, even those that were never lucky enough to have you for a student, have you in their thoughts.

xox,

Dr. J

Hey Girl

We hope that you are feeling better today!!

We love you!!

Chris and Amber

Mallory, Lisa and Mike,

I am so sorry to hear the news of you having to do all of this again.  I expected Mal to be enjoying life in Athens about now.  However, with all of your practice, I hope this one will go even smoother.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.  We think of you often, and really hope for a successful out come.  Plus, we pray they will find an excellent match real soon.

Roll Tide,

Bill

Well Mallory I guess Doug is like an ex-boyfriend.  You had some good times and some bad times, but in the end it wasn"t a perfect match.  You will always remember him fondly and reflect on the good times you shared, but he wasn"t your soul mate and second best just doesn"t cut it for a girl like you.  Only the best most perfect will do for our Mallory. 

Keep your faith in God even during this tough time and know he has a plan for you and this is just part of it.  You have everything going for you; fath, family, love, beauty, brains, determination, imagination, humor, spirit, and dedication.  The world is a better place because I know you and your family.

Your soul mate liver is out there and he is waiting to carry you the rest of your journey.

Mallory,

When I think about you one word that comes to my mind “AMAZING”! You are such a sweet and caring person and you have to be one of the funniest girls I have ever met. I have to be careful around you because your quick wit sometimes gets the better of me but it keeps on my toes. I am so sorry that you are having to go thru this and would trade places with you in a heartbeat if I could but you would tell me that I wouldn’t be strong enough to handle it. That’s just the type of person you have grown up to be. I remember the first time I laid eyes on you, I thought that you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen (and still do). You can’t imagine how many lives you have touched and how much joy you have brought to this world and me too. You have always had a special place in my heart and always will. I pray you have a speedy recovery because we have to get us that cappuccino that we have not had in a long time!

Love Dad (Pops)

Hi Mallory,  Just wanted to let you know everyone here at Georgian Bank is thinking about you and your family constantly and we keep sending our prayers your way.  I am a firm believer in God and know that he does not allow you to endure more than  you can handle.  Your amazing!!   Keep the faith !!

Best wishes,  Cathy

Hi Mallory,

I work with your dad on the EBS project and just wanted to pass along my thoughts and prayers for your quick recovery! From what I"ve heard, you are a brave and wonderful young lady. Hang in there.

Hugs and prayers from Astoria, OR,

Ryanne McClelland

Wanted to share with you one more thing. The Lord gave me the lyrics to this song. I"m in a Christian band, and he gave me a song entitled "Have Your Way". I wanted to share my heart with yours... 

Mallory,

I heard of your story through Nicole Herring...I had the awesome opportunity to lead her in Bible study back in Waynesboro way back in the day. Your story is such a powerful story! I know the Lord will make something so unbelievably beautiful of all of this. I am in a Bible study right now, just started up yesterday as a matter of fact. It"s a study on the book of Daniel in the Bible by Beth Moore. She said something that just stuck with me yesterday. She said, "God is faithful to His Word even when it"s bad news." So simple, yet so profound! This is true for you. My sister, your God, our God, He is faithful even when the news flat out stinks. And, He"s crazy in love with you. I encourage you to trust Him and perservere. You are loved by the King!

Hey Mallory!

I just wanted to tell you that I"m keeping you in my prayers and that my church will be praying for you. You have affected so many people"s lives with your beautiful spirit, strong will, and loving heart. Be strong girl! So many people love you and want to see you get better! We"re all praying for your recovery Mallory! Love you forever and I hope you"ll be able to go to UGA soon! :-)

Love and miss you always!

Camille

Dear Mallory:

You are so very, very brave!  You are so fortunate to have such a wonderful family, especially your mother. 

The doc"s at Emory are superior and you are in great hands....the Greatest Hands of All, belonging to God.

Keep your chin up and "this, too, shall pass."  Everything happens for a reason.  The reason will appear when you least expect it.

My prayer is for your bravery to continue, the pain to go away and your liver to become renewed. 

Dee Keith

Mallory,

My daughter is Nicole"s friend and she sent us your website.  We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.  I understand about transplant having been given the gift of life 5 years ago- a heart transplant.  I have  many liver transplant friends.  I am involved with the GTF mentor project. We have several young girls who have experienced liver transplants.  If you would like to talk with one, just let me know and I"ll set it up for you.  We also have parent mentors who are caregivers of liver recipients. Since GTF is a link here, I assume you know of all the services we offer to transplant candidates and recipients.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you and your family.  I wish you a speedy recovery and good health.

Mallory,

I cannot tell you how much I admire you for your strength, determiniation, and gentle and kind spirit.  You are in my thoughts and prayers and if there is ever anything I can do for you or your family I hope you"ll let me know.  Of course I"ll always do my best to give you the best care I can.

With love,

Molly

Hey Mallory,

I am so glad you have this wonderful website so we can check on you.  Things are improving and you will win this fight!  You are a wonderful young lady and I think the world of your parents.  Be strong and know you are lifted up in prayer everyday!  I admire your courage and keep on fighting!

GO DAWGS!
