"We are friends of April
and we just wanted to send our love and prayers to you and your special little girl. I wrote a poem for her................. !!!!!!!DEJA!!!!!! You don't know us and we will probably never meet But we
have a mutual friend and one day we'll sit at His feet. You haven't been in this world for very long. Yet you have dealt with more than many. You are very strong. You will never ever be alone because
there are so many people who care. Mommy and your sister and so many more that are there. But there's someone bigger that will always hold your hand. Maybe at your age you might not understand. He
owns the cattle and a thousand hills. He's King and Kings, He's the one who says, "BE STILL." He knows everything about you and has a very special plan. We may not see it yet, through the eyes of
man. But know that everything you must endure is for a reason. He promises to care for you and never leave, not even for a season. We love you Deja with a God sent love. Without even knowing you, it
must have been sent from up above. When you get scared or when there is some pain. Just hold onto your mommy and remember His name. Jesus is there with an outstretched hand. Saying, "Deja, I'm here
and your pain, I understand." GOD BLESS YOU DEJA and we will all be praying. For a miracle from the ONE who's love is never swaying. Love: The Fortuna Family"

"I liked your website
and especially all of your pictures! What cuties you and your sisters are :) I heard about you from my sister Meredith and have been saying prayers for you and your family for a while. Ya know, I
wondered why you got sick and even thought that it was really unfair. But then after Meredith told me about your website and I looked through it all, I felt really different. Especially when I saw
your pictures. At first glance you look just like a regular cute little girl, but if you take a second look you can see that you're really an Angel in training. Yep, I could tell especially in your
princess dress. That one is a dead give away that you are for sure an Angel(in training). I bet your're gonna be really good at being one and will be a big help to your momma, sisters and
grandparents once you get to heaven. I do hope that while you are still in training down here on earth that you enjoy every minute of it. Angel training can be hard but then It gets really easy and
fun . . . so I've heard. Anyway Angel girl :) thank you for sharing about your life. I think its very important. Oh yeah, and tell your mom she's doing a great job helping you with your training and
let her know that she and your family will be ok. Ya know I also heard that Angel training can be pretty tough for moms and families to. But again, I think you might already know that it's gonna be
ok because they are gonna have the best Angel in heaven looking out for them."

heard about Deja yesterday (5/1/07) while reading the AZ Republic. I don't normally read the articles but I just felt that I had to read it this time. I don't really know where to begin, but I have
to tell you that I could not go another moment without contacting you. Deja is weighing on my heart so powerfully - it's like nothing I've experienced before. I have a message for you. Deja has a
purpose beyond what you realize now. Thousands have their eyes on her...but the true story hasn't even happened yet. Deja has many more years ahead of her & I believe she knows it, which is why
she is so strong. With Love"

take good care of you, your mommy, and your sisters. He also promises that when we go to be with him we will have no pain and no sadness and we will be perfectly healthy with new bodies and all! I
know you don't know me and I don't really know you, but I feel like God has been placing you on my heart for a reason. I will be praying for peace and comfort for you and your family and I know that

"Deja: I read an article
about you today in the Arizona Republic. It talks about your daily struggle to have good days. Please don't give up on having good days. Fight for them. I can only imagine how hard it is for you on a
daily basis. I wish I could send you all the good days in the world but since I am not able to, all I can send you is my wish that whatever time you have left, you be happy and be sure to tell your
mommy and sisters how much you love them. I'm sure they know that but we mommies love to hear those three precious words from our daughters. And Deja, I love you too!"

this morning in the paper and it touched my heart. My husband of 38 years passed away 13 months ago with a malignant brain tumor. So I have walked a little of your road. My prayers will be with you
all as you travel this journey. I don't know if this will reach you in time, but there is a book entitled 90 Minutes in Heaven, which might give Deja a little picture of what she will see. May God
give you all peace."

"My heart goes out to
mom. Your in my prayers. I lost my father on Thanksgiving day 2005 to Cancer it was a 5 year journey. the last days are the hardest the one thing i would whisper to my dad was that it was okay to go
and that we would miss him everyday. We were with my dad 24 hrs a day. the Hospices nurses asked my mom to leave the room for a moment and when she returned my dad had passed on. Sometimes our family
members don't want to leave so they hang on. Mom give Deja lots of hugs and kisses and ensure her that she will always be in your heart. May God Bless you and give you the strength you'll need. Deja
your are a beautiful little girl and there are lots of children waiting for you when its your time. Lisa"

you for sharing your life, your family, your laughter and a boat ride with me. You know, I used to be afraid of the lake and jumping off the boat, but a very brave little girl taught me not to fear.
She taught me to enjoy life, love like I'm not afraid, dance like no one is around and sing like nobody is listening. Over the past few months, I realized that I still fear. I have gotten over the
fear of the lake, thank you for sharing that with me, but I find myself afraid to take chances. I pray I fulfill the life long purpose of meeting your wonderful family. I found an awesome and strong
woman in your Mommy. I can learn from her Deja, Thank you for bringing us together. Rest sweetheart and do not fear for the kingdom of heaven is yours. Dance sweetie and be free. I love you, Maggie

Deja, is that you would see Jesus clearly today. That God would surround you with his deep love and keep you safe from pain. I pray for your mom that she would know God's peace in a special way
today, and that she would have a vision of you held safely in God's arms."

"Dear Angela, Deja and
family,
My family(3 boys and hubby, David) and I have been truly blessed to have gotten to know you all through Margaret and Epic Christian Church. Deja's story has helped me to see my own children through
God's eyes and to appreciate them as gifts from God. I also see God living in you, Angela, as you go through this incredibly difficult time of suffering with your daughter. I hope these verses will
bring you comfort...2Corinthians 12:8&9'Three times I begged the Lord to take it away.'(a thorn in Paul's flesh) 'Each time he said, "My gracious favor is all you need. My power works best in
your weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may work through me.'
The fact that God's power is displayed in our weakness, should give us courage and hope. As we recognize our limitations, we will depend on God more for our effectiveness rather than on our own
energy and effort. Our limitations not only help develop our Christian character, but also deepen our worship, because in admitting them, we affirm God's strength. I know that you could not be doing
all that you do each day with your precious child without the help and grace of God. He sees every tear that you wipe away, every hair strand that you lovingly brush from her face, every labored
breath that you hover and listen over. All these things you do in love are for the glory of God and He sees all. You and Deja will receive your just rewards some day. Take heart and know that there
are many in prayer for you and yours. Love In Christ, Holly"

"Someone I know wanted
me to pass this poem along to you. My prayers are with your family.
To All Parents?.by Edgar A. Guest
?I’ll lend you for a little time a child of mine?, he said
?For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he’s dead.
It may be for six or seven years, or twenty two or three;
But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
He’ll bring his charms to gladden you; and should his stay be brief,
You’ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return;
But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
I’ve looked the wide world over, in my search for teachers true
And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes, I have selected you.
Now you will give him all your love nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call, to take him back again?
I fancied that I heard them say ? Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joy Thy child will bring the risk of grief we’ll run?.
We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may
And for the happiness we have known forever grateful stay;
But shall the angels call him much sooner than we’ve planned,
We?ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.? "

"Angela! There are no
words that I can say to bring your little girl back but I wanted to write you a little something that will hopefully encourage you as you have been such an awesome encouragement to me......A poem for
mom about Deja!!!!!
"Just Across the Jordan"
Just across the Jordan River is where Princess Deja now resides.
She received her crown from Jesus himself who is now physically right by her side.
If you can imagine in your mind Jesus and Deja walking hand and hand,
He's showing her the streets of Gold and the angel choir band!
Deja has her own mansion you know and I'm sure her very own carousel,
All of her favorites, it would take all day to tell!!!!
IT's amazing up there, it's always full of light.
So don't worry about her being scared or ever having a fright.
She's in the hands of her maker and He has great plans
For such a strong and brave girl who has many many fans.
You see, Deja is whole again without any pain
She's happy and healthy and playing once again.
Angela and family just hang on for a little bit more,
Because one day you will come to that golden, crystal shore.
The shore of the Jordan where Princess Deja was crowned.
A princess in Heaven and I'm sure she's looking down.
You will meet again and what a day that will be,
When you see your little girl and realize that you have her for eternity!
We love you dearly and pray for you daily!
We read your beautiful poem during her services! It is so beautiful. Thank you from the bottom
of my heart!

"Just know that we were
given these 2 Angels to watch over and the time has come when they are called back to heaven. Thank you Angela for being so strong and optimistic. I enjoy your relentless strength and you inspires me
to accept their passing, through your words on the journal.
Accept my heartfelt condolence.
lovingly,"

"I don't know you &
can only tell you what i've read on your page, however i can say that you truly blessed the earth with your 4yrs,you spent on this earth. And although it's hard to see now God uses tragedies to open
our eyes and the eyes of others his amazing power. It is unfortunate that such a beautiful little girl's life had to be cut so short, but it is amazing to see how many hearts she touched in her
lifetime. People will remember her for eternity and remember the unsurpassing strength and faith you had during this tragedy and realize that with God all things are possible. I don't know you and
can't say I know what your going through but I can say thank you for allowing so many people to get to know your beautiful little girl. I too am a single mom and honestly if you ever need anything a
shoulder, a prayer, a break, a meal, a ride, or just a friend I am up for that anytime any day. May God continue to bless your family in abundance and keep you safe and sane during these agonizing
times. Tamara "

"Dear Angela, I saw your
story a couple of months and I know you have had lots of support but I just want to tell you how amazing I think you are, I am 27 and have 3 girls and one one the way, and my 6 &7 yr old are 11
mo apart and I dont know what those 2 would do w/out each other, Last month my 3 yr old had a lump under her chin and I was told it was a cyst then a tumor then cancer then tb, well I guess the dr
didnt really know so she was to have surgery right away the next week, 2 days before surgery it went away and the dr said it was probably a simple virus running its course, that was the worst week of
my life, I felt like I could not breath, I thought of you alot that week and how you were doing it. Deja reminds me alot of myself I had leukemia when i was 2 till I was about 7 and at the time only
14% of people lived because all the drugs were still experimental, my mom said I would not give up, and deja fought till the end, but she taught me a lesson I should have already known, but that
lesson was that the days go by soo fast and as a single mom I would sometimes get frustrated over STUPID things, things that dont matter, messy house, bills, life period, but believe me you and deja
made alot of us single mothers dealing with every life take a step back and look at whats important, you delt with all that and every mothers worst nightmare, Deja was so lucky to have a mother like
you and I am so sorry this happened to your family and just know that it wasn’t for no reason, she taught us all who read your story and read along a precious lesson. I hope you know too, that its ok
to break down, you were deja rock but now you gotta be your own. We all love deja and I didnt even know her....God bless your and your family and I dont know if olivia understands everything, but
being so close in age I bet they had a special bond and God knows it will never go away deja will stay alive in her heart always, I am sorry I am rambleing on, I don’t know how to put all my thoughts
into words, so god bless all of you....Tara"

"Dear Angela, mommy of
Deja. I am so sorry about Deja's passing. I will always honor the way you celebrated Princess Deja. You have made a difference in how a short life can be lived fully and remembered. I donated some
toys for Deja's crown and for memories and hope to contribute again so she is remembered again and again. "

"Angela--Deja's
testimony and yours is incredible. I am sorry for your loss and can only imagine the heartache without your little princess. You are in our prayers. How is Deja's Crown progressing? Do you need any
help putting the boxes together or do you just primarily need supplies to get it off and running. Please let me know and I will try to help you any way I can as well as recruit women of my church
(Broadway Christian) to help if we can. Hugs and Prayers as you journey forward."

"A co-worker told me
about your family and I've been praying for all of you. I just received word of Deja saying goodbye to her family and was given the website. I must tell you how hard it was for me to see your little
angel in those beautiful photos and to read about her demise. I too had two granddaughters who passed away three years ago from a horrible disease called Battens Disease. They too had the same
Doctors, Dr. Hadden and the others as well. It brought it all back for me. I am very sad for you and wish you only the best. Keep those memories alive for your children but never dwell. Remember
this, God gave you other children/angels and they're counting on you and watching everything you do and listening to your every word. That is how they learn how to survive this.

"Hi, I just wanted to
tell you how much your story has touched me. My name is Jennifer and I have four beautiful healthy children, thank God. You are so strong and inspirational, I just wanted you to know that I have
followed Deja's story for a while now and I am bawling sitting in front of my computer right now, I just thought I would check the website to see how she was doing, it has been a quick summer and I
have been so busy getting the kids ready to start school I don't get much time on the computer so I thought I would check your site. I just want you to know how much I am thinking of you and I hope
you are doing well. Deja is truly in a wonderful place now and I hope you have so much peace in your heart knowing how much you meant to her. It is truly the measure of why God put you here on this
earth. I will hold my babies a little closer after reading this and I wish you a life full of happiness and love. You truly are an inspiration to all moms and all people on this earth. What a
beautiful little miracle you created. You and your family will be in our prayers."
