As a request for Christina and Bernard... We are asking that messages (texts, phone calls, emails, facebook, etc) be limited.  While we are all sooooo surprised and sooooo grateful for the amount of support, love, and prayers coming in, please respect their time so they can focus on Marlee.  Bernard, Christina, and I are trying to get back to everyone as soon as possible.  I never imagined that the amount of responses would be flooding in like it has over the last 2 days since the blog started!  We have been brought to tears over and over again reading some of your messages, posts, and seeing all the acts of kindness that family, friends, and "strangers" are showing Marlee.  We are still in complete disbelief that so many people that have never met Marlee or even know the family are willing to sacrifice and give up time or money for her.  We know that everyone has their own difficulties and hardships, and I can't tell you how much we appreciate that so many are willing to sacrifice just to give a little to ease any of the financial and emotional challenges the Tubera family will be facing. I pray that all of your love, prayers, and sacrifices are seen, heard, and given back to you all twice as much as you are giving to Marlee.  We absolutely are grateful and extremely blessed to have so many people that care as much as they do for our Marlee Lynn.  And, even though it never seems like it is enough to say... THANK YOU!!!
