"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting."
Mother Teresa
Cancer stripped her of everything including her life but it could not steal away God's LOVE, PEACE and the JOY that radiated through her. Korrine never stopped SMILING!
Korrine Lannie Croghan
Korrine Croghan was a vivacious 14-year-old girl who lived all of her life in Livermore, CA. She had a love for animals, sports, and most of all, family. Korrine was a straight “A” student while attending Mendenhall Middle School and was working hard in her first trimester at Granada High. She was a great friend to many and was everything that a brother, mother and father could ask for in a daughter. Korrine was the type of girl who would greet you with a wide smile and look into your eyes and truly would want to know how you were doing
Korrine & Cancer
On December 20th, 2007, Korrine was diagnosed with Choriocarcinoma with a germ cell element. Choriocarcinoma is a very rare type of cancer in teenage girls and inflicts less than 200 nationwide each year. Although the cancer started in her left ovary, the cancer had spread to her right ovary, lungs and liver. After the removal of a cantaloupe sized tumor in her left ovary on December 21st of 2007, Korrine, endured 10 months of intense chemotherapy designed for adult men.
During the course of her treatment, Korrine suffered many complications. In early April of 2007, her liver began to bleed. After staying at Kaiser Oakland for almost two weeks, Korrine was transfered to UCSF and spent a month in the intensive care unit. The doctors at UCSF Medical Center were finally able to stop her bleeding liver, but, not before it filled her abdomen with 5 liters of blood that had to be drained via a tube inserted into her stomach. On top of that, both of Korrines’ lungs collapsed while undergoing a CT scan that almost took her life. Because of that, 2 liters of fluid needed to be drained off of her lungs with the use of another drainage tube. Throughout her treatment Korrine needed numerous blood and platelet transfusions. She had nosebleeds that lasted an hour on several occasions. At one point, she had 18 intravenous tubes running through her body filled with anti-bacterials, anti-fungals, nutrition, painkillers and chemotherapy. Korrine miraculously made it through those tough days at UCSF and returned to Kaiser Hospital in Oakland. She was finally stable and was released to go home in late June. Just as things were starting to look up for her, she suffered septic shock in July that forced her to go back into intensive care at Kaiser in Santa Clara for 2 weeks.
Korrine returned home in late July and went through imaging scans to see if the cancer had disappeared. The scans always came back good, but not great. In an effort to kill and stop the remaining cancer cells, she underwent an emergency round of chemotherapy in early September. Unfortunately, it did kill the remaining cancer and her doctors had run out of options.
Korrine spent her last days at home with her family reading books and loving on her cats and dog. She passed away quietly, at home, on October 27th, 2008. Through it all, Korrine had a positive attitude and never gave up or complained. Many consider Korrine a hero.
Team KC
The Team KC website was originally started as a way to encourage, educate, raise awareness, and keep friends and family informed with accurate information on Korrine's treatment and progress. Family, classmates, friends, community members, and complete strangers rallied to support Korrine and her family through her fight against Choriocarcinoma. We were amazed by the amount of support we received, and it is now our desire to give back. In March, 2009, Team KC became an official nonprofit by joining forces with Kaiser Foundation Hospital. All monies raised by Team KC will directly benefit pediatric cancer patients and their families. All monetary contributions are tax deductible.
Our Mission: To help improve the quality of life of pediatric cancer patients and their families. We wish to supply children with fun activities, toys and anything else that will brighten and better their lives. Monies will also be used to help parents pay for bills and defray the costs of gas, food and lodging that go along with caring for a child with cancer.
Stay Positive, LIVESTRONG & Welcome to Team KC!

A Note From Korrine (written after her 4th round of Chemo)...
Hello everyone! It's me, Korrine. I just wanted to take a
moment to thank each and every one of you for supporting me through emails,
visits, food, gifts, and most importantly, prayer. Without it, I probably
wouldn't have made it this far. Anyways, on a happier note, I am happy to
announce that I am feeling very good. This last round of chemo hit me pretty
hard, but I think that it is more exiting to end things with a big BANG! I will
try to start writing things for the blog now that my chemo therapy is over, but
until then, just know that I love every single one of you and I am always
thinking about my family, friends, and even the people who I've never met
before. Thanks for joining my battle and for making this experience "The
Experience of a Lifetime." LIVESTRONG! And stay positive.
Korrine Lannie Croghan
Korrine and her family cherish kind words of support from friends and loved ones. Please take a moment to leave a message or to read the notes other visitors have written.

My name is Margaret and I work with your cousin Troy at 24HF. He told me about what you are going through and I just wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Korrine,
I know for a fact that God has a pourpose for you and this is just part of his bigger plan (which is going to be AWESOME). I will try to come down and see you as much as I can I promise
With Lots of Love, Lewi
Hi Korrine, it's Lewi's dad. We are praying and thinking of you so much. The pastor of our church talks about "when bad things happen to good people" alot, and how hard it is (usually impossible) to understand why. I know that God has a plan for your life and he will bring you through this suffering, and in some way that is so hard to imagine right now, God will cause this to work for the good of those who love him (you and your family), who are called according to His purpose. We thank God for you and your family and we will continue to pray for you. The Millers
Hey Korrine,
We only met a couple of times, but each time we did, you had a great big smile on your face that brightened my day and lit the room. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and you are in my prayers each day. Keep those smiles coming!

Dear Korrine,
You don't know us but your Dad used to coach our daughters' Swim Team and I knew your Mom when she did child care. A friend of mine forwarded your blog to me and asked for prayer. She didn't even know that we knew you! God is so good at getting his people together!
Please know that the Schultz family will be praying for you. Love to your Mom and Dad.

Everyday in 6th grade, you brightened my day with your cheerful and sweet, "Good morning Mrs. Snyder, how are you?" I always looked forward to teaching you, with your bright positive outlook and determination to always be and do your best. You are such a beautiful and very special young lady. God has given you your strong, positive spirit, so that you can endure this very difficult path that has come your way. You have everyone that loves you and is praying for you. I'll keep you in my thoughts daily, and will look forward to celebrating with you when this is all over!
With love and hugs,
Mrs. Snyder :)

Hello Korrine,
This is Shelby Cota from your Spanish class. Today January 2, 2008 I found out about your cancer. My hopes and prayers are with you. Be strong and keep fighting this cancer. When I found out about your illness it wasn't such a great way because it was over a myspace bulletin. Yes I did get some tears in my eyes. It is truely sad that the cancer got to you. You are a very kind and thoughful person. You always had a smile on your face everytime I saw you. You don't deserve this at all. I am praying for you every moment. I hope you get better as soon as possible.
Take care,
Shelby Cota
Dear Korrine-
We are so happy to be able to write to you. I don't have anything funny yet to say, but Erika picked out a funny movie for you to watch if you want, and Anika made a card for you... yes, we are praying for you and at least five of my friends here in Merced are also praying for you... I'll let you know as others get on board as well. We're proud of how far you've come already!
Love,
Steve, Erika, Kaleb, Kai, Zak, and Anika
Dear Korrine & Family,
It's Carrie Moreau (Trevor & Evan's Mom). We just heard the other day about what you and your family are going through. We want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hang in there sweetie! You are such a trooper! Please know that you have so many people pulling for you. I can't believe that even in a hospital bed you still have that wonderful smile! You are a young, bright, beautiful girl that still has so much to accomplish in your lifetime, so you keep fighting!
Lots of hugs to you (and to you to Dana)!
Carrie, Scott, Trevor, & Evan Moreau
Korrine!
You are one of the nicest, caring, cheerful, and strongest people I know. I've never heard you say a bad thing about a person and you're always so pleasant to be around. I really miss the old days when we were on the same water polo team.Those couple of months with our team were some of the best times of my life! You are such a great human being Korrine, and you have so many great things ahead of you!
I hope to see you around the pool again very soon! You're in mine and my family's prayers! Hang in there Korrine!
Love,
Maddie Sweeney
Hi Korrine
This is Jordan your cousin. I have been thinking about you everyday. I hope you are feeling better. My mom ordered me a livestrong bracelet to wear proudly, for all the people with cancer and for those who have beat it, like you will!
I am going to shave my head bald too, in honor of your fight against cancer. I always say a prayer when I go to sleep that God will keep you strong.
Love from Jordan
Hi Korrinny
It's Auntie Marcia. Boy if anybody didn't know who you are they certainly will now. What an amazing power of strength is forming around you and your family. I feel the power just reading the letters. I sure do miss seeing you.
I love looking at the pictures of you, your friends and family. I especially love the Yosemite pictures. Half Dome is my favorite, but El Capitan, the giant granite rock, that is how you are going to come out of this whole experience. Breathtaking, undescribable strength created by God.
I love you, my little mermaid
Auntie Marcia
Hey Korrine,

Lots of love,
Courtney Dunn

Korrine,
My husband and I learned about the specialness of You through somesone at our church Cornerstone Fellowship. You will be in our thoughts and prayers daily. God is with you and your family, He will keep you safe and in his loving arms.

You have a wonderful family and God Is With You!
Love Connie and Dan Estrada

Hey Korrine!!
I just found out about your awesome blogspot from Priscilla. I have been thinking about you and your really bright smiling face ever since you left the hospital in Walnut Creek, the red room, 3086. I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you everyday and I know that many of us at Pedi think of you often as well. Give a big hug to your mom and dad for me. Keep up the strong fight, you know that you have a huge army right behind you. I still look forward to seeing you play in a water polo game!!! Sending lots of love,
Lindsey Robinson, RN Kaiser Walnut Creek, Pediatrics
Korrine,
We are a family who has known many of your loving family for many years. My sons, Steve and Andrew are good friends of Jake and Jeff, my daughter Kat (whose favorite history teacher of all times is your dad!!!) graduated with Jenna and Aunt Debbie and I are kindred souls! Your story (sent to me by Carolyn Burke)has truly touched my heart and my prayers are with you and all of your family. One of the beautiful things about the family of God is that it is so vast and so powerful that the wings of prayer spread the word and the Holy Spirit takes flight and before we know it miracles are soaring. Our church, St. Peter's in Oakland, will now be yet another group praying for you! From what I've read it is evident that you are a strong and amazing young woman who has God on her side and a band of angels (including that whole amazing Croghan Clan!)lifting you up! ....the task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us!...and you know He is ever the Great Physician and Healer. Bless you, dear heart and your precious parents. In His love, Tina, Rod, Steve, Andrew and Kathryn Pomroy
Wow
I was just reading your notes of hope from people. Hope nad Faith!!! I have do much faith!! I can only hope that the treatments you are enduring aren't bad.
I'm sitting here writing this to you and God is up in Heaven stirring up some noise!!! He is so powerful, I can only imagine he is getting all the power of this army thinking of you and strengthening his forces of faith!
Your dad once said, when he was about 3 or 4 years old, when it was storming "God sure must be mad at the angels cause he sure is spankin' em hard" My mom, your grandma, got a huge kick out of that. Everytime it thunders I think of that story.
I love you, Korrine, and am thinking of you always.
Love and kisses
Auntie Marcia
HI Korrine,
you are in out thoughts and hearts everyday. We pray for a quick and great recovery. We love you and can't wait to see you.

p.s. Matt can't wait to shave his head ;)
Hey Korrine,
You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I miss seeing you around Mendenhall. I know that you are going to fight this strong.
Love,
Mary
Dear Korrine:
I check your blog site everyday. When I came home and read another(!) church is praying for you, I went back and read over every blog entry....
Imagine? St.Peters in Oakland, Cornerstone in Livermore, Crosswinds in Dublin, Trinity Baptist in Livermore, Neighborhood Church in Castro Valley,Your Dads work, your Moms work, your school, Seans school, Granada High School and your nurses from Walnut Creek, and of course every relative, friend and neighbor. We are thinking of you always and all praying for your recovery. Live strong Korrine! We love you.
Trish, Jeff and Adam Brissey
Hi Korrine,
My name is Astrida and Nonda Ebbinghaus is my good friend. She told me all about you and I wanted to write you to tell that my family and I are praying for you as are many of my other friends. Your pictures tell a beautiful story and you are very obviously a very strong young lady who is greatly loved by so many! God is holding you in his hands and providing you with strength and power. Live strong, fight hard and we'll all keep praying for you.
Blessings to you and your family,
Astrida Lalor and Family
Hi Korrine,
Im Emily, Nate's sister. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry you're going through this and every day I think about you. At the beginning of December I was thinking that our families should get together sometime, so when you are done with all of this we have to get together. With the way you are, I know with all of my heart that you're going to beat this thing, and beat it good. Almost every day my mom says, "Korrine's going to be the kind of girl who will make a difference." I think she's totally right. I have faith in you.
Love,
Emily
Way to go Korrine!
Live strong!
Round one done!
We continue to pray for you and your family.Now it's time to get you strong. When it's okay to visit I would love to come by.
You are an amazing young lady.
Love, Trish, Adam and Jeff
Hi Korrine,
This is Michelle Musso, Shirley's daughter. Please know that you are ever present in my prayers. I also am rallying all of the brothers and sisters in Christ I know to pray for you.
Ever since the day I first met you, when you were 2 years old, you have been an exceptionally beautiful and gentle hearted child of God. And even though I am all the way in Arizona, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless you, and your family.
-Michelle
Hi Korrine,

We're keeping the Faith,
All our love to you,

Hey Girley: I'm sure you don't remember me, but you may remember my son, Sterling. He was in your Mom's childcare when, I believe, he was about 3 ish. Real hyper little guy (not much has changed,lol). Well, Sterling now has a brother, Aiden, who just turned 7. He gets to be involved with other children as well since we do foster care. We were recently down in your area visiting family for Thanksgiving. Saw Tina and Lorin Jensen and had a wonderful visit. You look so much older than I remember. Of course! And just beautiful as well. Reading your website has been a blessing on my heart. We'd like you to know that you have been placed on our prayer chain here in Port Orford, Oregon. Keep the faith girley and may God richly bless you, your family and all that come into contact with you. OK, joke time: What happened to the frog who parked in a No Parking Zone?
He got "toad" away.
LOL, I can almost hear you groan from here. Jokes are not my strong suit. haha
Love, Joe, Deborsha, Sterling and Aiden Lashway
Hi Korrine,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I am one of the yard duties at Smith. Every time I see you and your mom at school, you always have a smile on your face. Your strength and positive attitude will help you in your fight. Just know that a whole lot of people are praying for you!!
Love,
Debi, Dave, Joey and Natalie Rose
Hi Korrine and family,
I am good friends with your Uncle mark and Aunt Denise...I know your mom and dad and you through them. Our whole family is praying for you.

Love The Terpstra Family

Hi Korrine,
I know that you don't know me, but I work with your Dad and Uncle at Canyon. I just had to write to tell you what an amazing young lady you are! You are such an inspiration to anyone who is either going through what you are or may have to in the future. Keep up that great positive attitude and awesome smile.
Sharon Bailey
Hi Korrine. I remember how strong you were back in second grade and how you were always working and you never gave up. You always had your trademark big smile and you were always so willing to help others. I remember how much you enjoyed music.
I know that what you are going through right now is rough. You have shown me though that you have great inner strength and I know you can beat this thing. I’ll be thinking of you often and always remember, no matter where you go, there you are.
Mr. Murphy
Dear Korrine,
Our family is praying for your speedy recovery. We admire your strength, and know that God will take care of you.
With love,

Hi Korrine,
I love all your pictures, it shows how strong, beautiful and spirited you are. You don't know me but my family knows your family as we all grew up in the same city and went to the same high school. I know your aunt Denise and Marsha and uncle Steve from when I was about your age as they were real close friends of my older brother. I am praying for you to be strong and win this battle, god is on your side.
Hey Korrine,
You don't know me but I am an old friend of Trevor's who used to get his teeth knocked out by him. Seems odd we remained friends huh. Anyway my name is Chris and I live in Rome Italy, and I jsut wanted to say hello and that I am pulling for you and Im sorry to hear of your cancer. Luckily you seem like you have an unbelievable support team of family and friends. Your family are some of the best people I know on the face of this planet, so you are in good hands. You seem to be a strong young lady, thats obvious from the presence and auora one see's in your photos, which tells me this seems only to be only a set back in this Croghans life. Prayers from Rome and the Vatican City.
cb
P.S. I know he is embarrassed about being kicked out of the vatican by the Pope and all, but has Trev. atleast tried to call him and ask him to say a prayer?
Hey Korrine,
This is Conner Sharpe(you know, the one that went to the cal stanford game). I just wanted to check in and wish you luck. I know you will overcome this. I hope you are doing well. Stay strong and have faith. We are all praying for you.
Hey Korrine,
This is Conner Sharpe(you know, the one that went to the cal stanford game). I just wanted to check in and wish you luck. I have several relatives that have overcome cancer and I know you will too. Stay strong and have faith. You are in our thoughts and prayers. My best wishes.
Hey Korrine,
We all miss you at school. Core is not the same without you. Mrs. Brown is letting everyone know about this blog. Today she talked more about NaNo, and we practiced using something i think called "subordinating conjunctions". Then, we watched an animated show called "Liberty Kids", because we are ahead of the other classes. We all can't wait to see you again. You are in all of our prayers. Stay strong, and hurry back. -Erik
Hey Korrine,
Its Bobby Shull again. your presence ment so much to me throughout our fun fill childhood. And i feel as if you have had such an effect on my life. It's hard for me to even imagine all the pain that you are going through right now, but hold tight. when i think of u, i think of happiness, and it shows through your pictures. you r in my prayers every day, and i hope for the best. just jeep smiling and hold on tight.
your friend,
bobby shull
Hi Korrine,Just a quick hello to say I'm thinking about you. Your blog site is amazing! I love the pictures of you, your family and friends... and doctors and nurses!
Obviously, I know your family and the Canyon people I see posting here. I caught one name though (showing what a small world it is and how we are all connected) of someone I've known since I was your age (and I'm older than your Dad now). It is Mrs. Scarbrough. We are both "Kathy's" and we know each other from church when we went through confirmation and from school. We graduated high school from Canyon.
I mentioned to your Uncle Mark that I'd seen her name and he said that she had been one of your teachers. I'm sure she was a great teacher... because she is a really great lady! hugs, kathy t.
Hi Korrine,
I know you have no idea who I am but my son Zack was on your little brothers baseball team. You might remember Zack's nickname ...Scribbles. I remember how pretty and happy you were cheering your brother on with your mom from the bleachers And I just showed my older son Cody your picture and he also knows you from track last year and from school! He say's you are really sweet! Anyway I am really sorry that something this terrible had to happen to such a beautiful girl. I have been lucky enough to meet your family and you are so lucky to have such love and kindness surrounding you! My family is praying for your speedy recovery!
Oh and I pulled my Livestrong bracelet out and I am wearing it proudly for you!

Hi Korrine...
This is my first visit to your website but it won't be my last.
You have been in our hearts and on our minds since we first heard about your illness before Christmas. I'm so glad to read that your smile is still there, as it is infectious and helps everyone around you deal with the emotions of the day. Your smile can light up that entire hospital without a doubt, it is so bright. Being positive is half the battle. And remember that God will get you thru everything he puts in your path and you will be stronger because of it. Your fellow patients are blessed to spend time with you and your family. Know that you have helped them along the way.
Your parents are special people who give of themselves so much, it's no wonder that you and your brother are special too. Stay strong and know we all are praying for you and loving you and your family.
Mary Accornero (Alex's mom!)
Hi Korrine,
Just wanted to let you know we love you so much! We are so proud of you! what a beautiful smile you have it lights up the room!! Thanks for showing us all how to have such Hope and strenght, we will continue to ask God for complete healing! You have so many wonderful friends I cry eveytime I read this beautiful website. God Bless you sweetheart. We love you and know God hears our crys for you! Love your cousins, Scott and Stacy Matt, Jenner and Candace
Hey Korrine,
I've been thinking about you and praying for you all day. I forgot to mention on my previous post the name of a fabulous Kaiser oncologist. He was my mom's oncologist when she had breast cancer a few years ago (she's cancer free now!) and also has been taking care of another friend's mom(ovarian cancer but also doing very well). Both think very highly of him. I don't know whether he does pediatric oncology, but he's certainly worth contacting. His name is Dr. Pan and he's the head of oncology at Kaiser Santa Clara. Prior to Kaiser, he was at Stanford. (I know that might be a problem for your Cal Blue family....:)
Take care.
Pam Winaker
Hey Korrine!
I am so happy that you are having a better day! I look all the time to see how you are doing! I miss you so much girlie! You and your family our in our prayers! Stay strong and keep faith in God!!!!
LOVE YOU!
Kassie
Korrine!
Hello from the sunny state of Florida! My very dear friend Robin Mickles told me about you and I had to visit your website. Your smile is contagious!
I also am a cancer survivor x3 and I am living proof of God's healing hand. I am now a critical care nurse and help to recover open heart patients and also work in the ICU. God has a plan for all of us and sometimes I think He has us go through difficult times to make us stronger for later on in life. I was 17 years old with my first cancer and now I am 41 years old....so far so good! God blesses me every day with another day.
I will continue to pray for you and I hope to see even more of those smiles on your pictures.
Hugs and kisses from the panhandle of FL and our snow white beaches, Maressa Cobb
Hey Korrine,
It's Melissa again. I'm still thinking of you and i really miss you at school, especially in p.e. today we worked in the excercise room. Mrs. Johnson changed her last name to Mrs. Baccus... i dont know if thats how you spell it. hehe. =0) she got married in March of 2007 but she didnt change her name til this year. You have so many people behind you that love you and we all believe in you. I am wearing my Livestrong bracelet for you! keep fighting and your doing great!
Love,
Melissa Summers
Hey Korrine,
thats so cool how you got that water polo ball. you deserved that ball after what you have been through. I have been thinking of you everyday and can't wait 'til you return to core so that you can make everyone smile.
Do you remember when you use to opera sing happy birthday in Mr. Chapels 4th grade class. those were such fun times.
Core is still pretty boring with Mrs. Brown talking and talking and talking. lol. That lady can go on forever.lol. Today everyone one was stressing out over getting books approved for independent reading. We also had a hecka easy test on homophone thingys. Anyways, we miss having you in core. Your an awesome person and can't wait to have you back.
Jacqueline Summers :P
Hey Korrine!
This is Anna from Mrs. Schlicter's class and I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. You're very strong and smart and I know you can beat this! I miss you and can't wait to see you again.
Dear Korrine,
I have been following your progress daily and I am in awe and so inspired by you. You are an amazing and very unique young lady.
You are the first person I think of when I wake, and the last person I think of before I sleep. I have put you on a lot of prayer lists, just as others have. You have so many people who love you deeply. You have obviously touched a lot of people at such a young age. Korrine, keep smiling and live strong.
With love, Hank, Lori and Sierra
Hey! It's Anna Morris's sister,
We are saying prayers for you. I'm so so so so so so so sorry that you are sick. I wish that I could help you fight this. Anna keep talk about howw she misses you.
Dearest Korrine,
I am one of the participants in Dana's Water Exercise class. She always talks about you with such love and pride so I was shocked when I heard about the challenges that you are facing and at such a young and important time in your life. I want to let you know that your strength is an inspiration to us all and please know that you are in all of our thoughts and prayers.
All the best
Carol Vander Meulen
Dana- I can just imagine how heartsick you have been with these struggles please know that if you or you family need anything please call.
Hi Korrine,
You don't know me but I have known your family since I was very small. Ask Mark Croghan or Trevor Croghan about me if you get the chance, you may hear some stories :D.
Anyway, I am praying for you and I know a lot of other people are as well. So the best thing you can do right now is have faith in that God will take good care of you. We all love you! Take care!
Korrine!
I went to a womens bible group today and we are studying Daniel with Beth Moore!
I have never participated in a Bible group before. Isn't it something that I am in one at this point in time.
I kept comparing everything to you. You are fighting the Babylon!
The message was: "everything can be affected by prayer" As you can see all this praying and your faith is helping you along.I pray for your body to take in all the nutrients to make you strong! I pray that you will keep the faith and we will continue to have you in our thoughts while you go through this trying period. You and your family were in my prayer requests today at bible study.
We love you so much!
Trish, Adam and Jeff.
Dear Korrine,
My family and I are praying for you to get well! I miss you and can't wait to see you again.
Hey Korrrine,
You don't know me, but I had Trevor Croghan as my teacher in 6th grade. Our entire Leadership class is keeping you in their prayers. I hope you're feeling stronger. You're awesome!
Hey Korrine!
My family and I are saying prayers for you and following your progress. I hope you feel better soon!

Love,
Audrey
Hi Korrine,
I forgot to mention this in my last message. When we came back to school this past Monday after winter break, I had calls asking for your blogsite!
Now of course, I already know how amazing and how loved your family is... but to get these calls at Canyon, from people who heard about what you are going through and wanted to be able to reach your family. It was truly wonderful and I felt honored to share the blogsite info so that they could reach you.
I've read that today is a tough day for you. My brother gets chemo too and I talked to him the other day... and he was having one of those days too. I hope you are getting some rest and pray that tomorrow will be better.
hugs and love, kathy t.
Hey Korrine!
I was so surprised and upset to find out you had cancer. thats was the last news I would ever expect to hear. I just want to let you know that every one loves and misses you. I have been praying for you every night since i heard the news. I even had my church pray for you too.Eveyone is suporting you and cant wait to see you all better and healthy. I was really glad to see that you where smiling and keeping your head up. Stay strong.
<3

Hi Korrine.
I'm sure you don't remember me, but I remember you visiting your dad a school a couple of times when you were little. I was a student of his, and my mom is a fellow Castro Valley teacher.
We are praying for you. Your cheerful outlook and happy smile will help you.
Kelsey Dickenson

I am so proud of you. Not too many kids have the maturity and attitude to fight like you are fighting and to keep the positive attitude that you are keeping.
I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Korrine,
Our bible study is praying for you and your family here in L.A.
"But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength; Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning, for You have been my stronghold and a refuge in the day of my distress. O my strength, I will sing praises to You; for God is my stronghold, the God who shows me lovingkindness."
-Psalm 59:16-17
Our God who loves you will never leave you :-)
Holly from Bel Air Pres
Hi Korrine,
Our thoughts are with you during all of this. You have brightened our day just to see your smile in these photos, just as it has always done when we see you walking across with your mom at school. Your great attitude and faith will get you through.

Hey Korrine!

Hola, Korrine! This would be Krista just telling you that you're uber amazing and I hope to see you again in summer on the swim team, but if u can't then that's fine. I'll see you at Granada and maybe I'll finally learn how to play water polo properly.hehe -Krista

Hi Korrine,
I just received notice of your blog from Janie. I don't know if you remember me but I was your Principal at Mocho. I sent this also to Mr. Chappell. I now live up in the foothills in Calaveras County. I know you will do well because you are such a strong person with a wonderful family to support you. You and your family are in my prayers. Best wishes Mr. Hazelhofer
Hi Korrine,
Just wanted to say I am praying for you. I heard of you through a friend's blog.
You're beautiful with God's beauty, beautiful inside and out!
God be with you.
Luke 1:27 The Message
Hi Korrine,
You do not know me, I was lucky enough to swim for your dad and grandpa. I just wanted you all to know you are in my families thoughts. Stay strong.

Hey girly! Hows it going i have sent you three messages now i think it was! Well anyway i am glad to hear that today was a better day for you! i know that you are going to be resting at home and i hope that works out better for you!

Korrine,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Period 6 math class just isn't quite right with you not here. We miss you dearly. Your bright smile and cheerful attitude just made the end of my day a little brighter. You are strong and will persevere through this. Keep positive. For I know that you will accomplish great things... the next one being cancer.
My rayers are with you each day,
Mrs. Schlichter

Our whole family, even Kevin’s little sister, Allison (used to wear a cute hat, remember her?), think of you and your family and pray for the strength in fighting and belief in cure everyday.
Woojin, Michelle, Kevin & Allison Kim
Hey Korrine, We can't wait to see you back at school. Your such a great person with such a big smile and school seems dull without you. You're in all of our prayers and we are all wishing you a fast recovery, so stay strong and hurry back.
-Erik
Hi sweet girl -
I bet it feels so great to be home and sleeping in your own bed! I bet your kitties really missed you :) I hope you enjoy your family movie night tonight and that you can rest and wake up tomorrow feeling even stronger.
You are a very strong and courageous young woman and an amazing testament to God.
You are my hero!
Cristi
PS I will not take off my LIVESTRONG bracelet (not even to sleep or shower) until you are cancer free!

Can't wait to see you at the pool again!
Kamran
Korrine,
Hello. I just wanted you to know that we at Mendenhall (especially in PE) miss you and your happiness. I have been teaching a long long time and you are one of my all-time favorite students. Mrs. Johnson was lucky to get you as a student this year. She is always talking about how nice it is to have you for a student - I just tell yea, I know. You and your family are in my and my family's prayers everyday. In Mendenhall PE we look forward to having you and your smile back out there with us. We hope that you enjoy the gift that Ms. Johnson is sending you from us. You can wear it with pride as you were well on your way to completing the requirement to earn it.
Mr. Wooten and family
Dear Korrine and Family,
You don't know me. I heard about what you are going through from a friend of a friend. I wanted to let you know there are many out here in Discovery Bay praying for complete healing, strength, and peace for you all. We'll continue to do so and pass on prayer requests for you to our prayer groups. God Bless You!
Hi Korrine,
You are so incredibly beautiful and inspiring! From the time I met you, picking Sean up from his first grade classroom, I've thought you are the sweetest, most genuine soul I've ever met. Even from your hospital bed, the glory in your smile makes me smile. And your mother, isn't she amazing as well! We don't know God's plans, but look to him for strength, love and direction. He's there for you and so are all of your friends and family, which by the way, it seems as if you are well covered in that area! We are all praying for you and hoping that we can bring to you at least a fraction of what you give to us.
Wendy Campbell (Jason's Mom) and family
Korinne-
I've tried to get a note posted on the blog sight, but I'm writing from work without Cassidy's help and can't seem to make it work. If it did work, this is the third time you've read about the same thing from me! I just wanted you to know that I am praying for you everyday! Your fight hits home for me having a daughter your age. I really had a good time at the snow retreat getting to know you better (while giving you a bad time in the process). Hats off to the person/person's working on your blog sight! How awesome it must be for you and your family to read the letters of inspiration and love from the folks your lives have touched! God is Great! It is an inspiration for me and my family to check out the sight each day!
Please let your Dad know that guacamole tastes even better with a bag of tortilla chips!
We look forward to watching you win this battle! (And wapping you upside the head at next years snow retreat)
Glenn Sherman
Korrine:
You will always be able to look back on this and be able to use your optimistic attitude in evrey challenge you are faced with. We will be able to use your example to conquer our fears. Thanks for your gift.
I'm wearing my LIVESTRONG bracelet everyday!
Love, Trish, Jeff and Adam

Hi Korrine,
I got your blog from a friend who knows you. This blog is amazing, just reading what others have posted about you let's those of us who don't know you see a small slice of what a shining "star" you are! Your smile is infectious and what you are going through has touched so many people-even those of us who don't know you personally-like me!
I am praying for you and have forwarded your blog to others who will pray as well. From all the support & love that is surrounding you, I'd say you are one SPECIAL young lady. I praise God for the loving family & friends you have that will help you through this. It is clear that God has great plans for you! I pray you are able to get rest, able to eat, & that your body stays strong to fight. Keep that beautiful smile shining for all of us to see. Celia, from Hayward
Hi Korrine!
You don't know me but I work with your Uncle Mark at Canyon Middle. My daughter, Christine, had your dad last year for history. She said he was the best teacher she ever had! We have been following your progress everyday on your blog. It is amazing! You are so blessed to have such a supportive group of people who love you! Even though we have never met, it seems as though we know you through all of the incredible pictures and messages on your blog. You're a strong girl, hang in there, we're all behind you!
Love,
Denise, Pete, Christine and Stephen
Korrine it's Brandon,
Good news!
Our school is starting a fundraiser for you. We are trying to send you a card every single day. We have posters all over the school saying thigs like "Don't forget about Korrine" and "Cards for Korrine" and stuff like that. My mom went to the school and took pictures of them for you. It's really awesome! The girl that comes in our first period class and gives us the annoncments told us about your fundraiser. Then my teacher Mr. Santero had a huge discussion about you and said that you were one of his best students ever. You always have a smile on your face and you give it your 110% best and any one that knows you doesn't have one bad remark or commant to say. He wants to make the woodshop kids build you something. I gave him the idea that we could put live strong or something on it. Well I wanted to let you know that you are in my prayers and I only wish that you get better!
With love and respect,
Brandon Clore
hi korrine! its marla. i wanted to let you know that i am praying for you everyday and hope that you get better. We all miss you at school and want you back. just keep fighting and i know you will get better! <333
Hi Korrine,
I tried to post this earlier, but I don't know if it went through. This blog thing is all new to me! So forgive me if this is a repeat...
I knew your mom and dad when they were just dating. Your dad was my swim coach in high school and your mom was always around giving us her support and giving us massages before our most important swims. Your dad was a great inspiration to me. He always made me laugh and did his best to get all of us to pay attention and work hard. Most of all he was just a great guy with a lot of spirit. Form what I've heard about you, it seems that you have his same spirit and your mother's kind soul. I still see your mom and dad sometimes around Livermore. They talk about you often, and I know how much they love you and respect you. From what I've read on this blog, it seems as though you have touched many lives at a very young age. I can see why your parents are so proud of you. My best thoughts and wishes are with you and your family. Keep up your strong Croghan spirit.
Love, Linda Bailey (Klinke)
korrine:
Just checking in on this beautiful sunny Saturday.
You have an incredible life ahead of you-and you will be one wise young lady because of these challenges.

Trish, Adam and Jeff

It better be, because you seem to be doing well! I sure am happy for you! XOXO! I hope to hear that you are doing as well tomorrow!

Hi Korrine,
I'm so glad to hear that you had a good day! We think about you everyday and I pray for you every night. Your strength, courage, and the fact that you continue to smile through all of this is such an inspiration. Stay STRONG and gain strength in knowing that there are so many people pulling for you. Can't wait to see your smiling face around Smith.
Hugs to you and your family,
Carrie, Scott, Trevor & Evan Moreau

Hi Korrine,
My son and daughter are Smith students (My son Tanner was in K the same time as Sean and my daughter, Madison is in the 1st grade with Scarbrough). I would see you each day for the last few years walking over from Mendenhall to wait for your brother, and think to myself, what an incredible smile you have. As I look at your blog I see that you are truly a genuine, happy girl with a smile that can light up the world. How comforted you must be with such an awesome support group. I wanted to let you know that we check your website daily for updates and have passed the site along to family and friends to continue the prayers. The amount of prayers being said in your honor and all the people who have signed your blog is an amazing testimony to the girl you are and the life you live. We will continue to wear our LIVESTRONG wrist bands in your honor until you are well.
Godspeed...Gini Wright and Family
Dear Korrine, Dana, Matt and Sean,
Korrine, I've had just one chance to have met you (and your mom and brother) ... it was at a Super Bowl Party a few years back at your Uncle's house. I'm married to your cousin Kyle Brumbaugh so I guess we're "cousins-by-marriage". :) I just wanted to tell you I think of you everyday and am so wowed by you and your family. I'm a breast cancer survivor and know how fast all of this can come up on you (I was diagnosed at Christmas time too)... kind of knocks the wind right out of your sails! But, when the wind gets knocked out of ones sails, it's time to either sink or swim ... no question that you chose swimming!! :) Kind of in your blood, no? I just want you to know ... from one cancer SURVIVOR to another ... you're in my thoughts and prayers always. I've told everyone I know that kept me in their prayers 4 years ago, to use their great praying power for you now. I know it will work. Know that the Brumbaugh's will continue to LIVE STRONG every day for you. MacKenzie (our 9 year old daughter) donated her hair to Locks of Love recently and Kyle's had his head shaved for a few years now so we're doing all we can to keep the word out there. Hang in there, Korrine ... we're all pulling for you!
Love and peace,
Debra Brumbaugh
Hi Korrine!!!
I don't know if you remember me from RLCC (I usually worked at May Nissen) but I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and praying for you and your family every day.
It was always great to see you around the pool over the summer, and I'm looking forward to seeing you around more this summer! I was always excited when you'd pop into the office and liven the place up and brighten everyone's day. Your maturity, honest kindess and friendly nature never failed to impress me and it was always so easy to see what a great person you are.
The amazing level of love and support that I've just seen on your blog shows how many lives you've touched. You really are an inspiration, girl.
TONS OF LOVE, shannon david
Hi Korrine,
My name is Juan Flores, I work with your Dad and Uncle Mark. From what your Uncle and Dad have told me in the past you are an extraordinary "young lady". I want you to know that my wife, son and daughter (who is your age) are praying for you and your family. We are also sending thoughts of strength and courage as you battle,overcome and recover.
Love, The Flores Family
Hello Korrine:
Took a beautiful morning walk today and thought about you often.
As zany as this sounds there is a reason for all of this...this is what surfaced for me as I was walking: You are being used as a vehicle for God. A vehicle to bring family together, to encourage people to live optimistically everyday, to stop sweating the small stuff in life, to trust that people will always come forward in times of our personal needs no matter what they are. That is an extroridianry assignment God gave you.I am hoping most people will see it this way incluidng you.Not the most pleasant conditions to be in to be a teacher-but how can any thing be so powerful as this journey of yours to teach mankind?
Thanks for your lessons.
Trish, jeff and Adam brissey
Dear Korrine,
I hope you're having a good day today and that you can feel my good wishes flying in your window and landing on your shoulder! I've heard about you from Shannon David and Sharon Grant and even though I haven't met you, I know that you must be an especially strong and charming young woman to inspire such kind comments from so many people. When you're having a bad time, remember all those thoughts and prayers flying your way. Picture them flying in your window and settling all around you like beautiful white doves. They'll be resting on your bed and blanket, and on your shoulders and hands. They've been flying throughout the world ever since you and your family first sent them out to touch someone else! Now they're coming back to bring you the strength and love you need to get better. We're with you every day, sweetheart! Live strong,
Barbara David
Hey Korrine,

So glad to hear that you're home and feeling better. I've sure seen a lot of Livestong bracelets around and when I ask people about them... guess what?? You guessed it, CutiePie, they are for YOU! I check on your site every day and am sending my love and prayers. Keep getting stronger!!
Hugs~
