Today is your earthly Birthday Jayci, you would be 15 now. I cant imagine you as a teenager, I often wonder what you would be like. If you would be sassy or if you would be doing all the wonderful things you had planned for your life. You wanted to drive the car so you are now old enough to get your learners permit. Oh how I miss you. I know you are so happy in your home with Jesus and I know you are happy and pain free always. I wouldnt want it any other way... Love you my little butterfly

I was browsing through the YouTube videos today and came across Jaci story my condolences go out to the family and I hope and pray that God give you strength through the years it's horrible to loose a child and I thank God that my kids are healthy. We must all keep fighting for family's like the Yaegers, to see that their rights are up held. The court system in this country needs to be drastically changes no child should ever have to go what she went through at the end of her life, when she needed her daddy. The court system needs to show more compassion.

Wow! I realize it's been several years but I just came across your story on the internet. I was very relieved to learn that due to public outcry your final wish was granted. RIP Baby Girl...See you one day! Prayers to your family.

Rest in peace, Jayci. I have hope you have many beautiful souls like my parents surrounding you. I pray your mommy and daddy and the rest of your loving family are able to continue on feeling hope, love, and amazement in this world. It's been 3 years, and your story is still reaching people. You did not die in vain.

I just learned about Jayci and all of her and her family's struggles today. I send all of the best wishes and condolences possible. No parent to ever lose a child and no child should ever have to fight cancer. You are brave and amazing Jayci and you have given me many things to be grateful for in my life. Thank you and I hope that you watch over your family and keep them safe and you sit with God, holding His hand and watching over the world. Rest in Peace sweet Butterfly.

I just read about this story...and my heart goes out to Jacyi. Last year February the 17th my little boy passed away after 13 days in the hopsital. He was born on the 4th of February with severe brain damage due to a lack of oxygen. Loosing a child is the worst thing that can happen to anybody, and I am so sorry for the family. Little Jayci, I hope you find peace and please watch over my little boy. Martijn from the Netherlands

Hi Jayci! I keep thinking of you daily and wishing that you were here with us. I know that you are in a better place. It is still hard to believe that you will not be at GS meetings when school starts back up in August. Robin, Brianna, Hannah and I are going to go visit your mother, brother and sisters this evening. Brianna can't wait to go and see Piper, because she remembers how close of a bound you had with your baby sister. The GS Troop will be planting a tree this fall at school in remembrance of you. I think we are going to get a purple flowering tree to put out in front of the school. Everyone in the troop misses your laughter and smile that you always brought to the meetings. We will never forget you and you will always be in our hearts. Love you!

I took a few girls from the Girl Scout Troop to visit your headstone the other day and they all agreed that it was the perfect fit for you. The Troop just got back from Savannah GA this past weekend and everyone wore their Butterfly pins that honor you. I must say that we had a lot of compliments on how beautiful they are, and the girls responded that this was to honor their fellow Girl Scout that should have been with them on this trip. We miss you very much and think about you all of the time. When we were going through TN and the mountains I had heard a few comments on how Jayci would think this would be a gorgeous sight to see. We all know that you are safe and in a better place and that you will always be there to watch over the girls in the Troop. Stay strong Vonda, we will be there for you whenever you need us.

I didn't catch this story until just recently and I sadly regret it. What a wonderful & strong angel she is. I thank God she was able to be with her father because I know I couldn't bear the burden of being denied seeing my own father. May God watch over and bless your entire family.

I also followed this story, I must say this little girl was so special,everyday my heart breaks not only for Jayci but her whole family. This little girl became so loved by so many strangers. I think we all learned what Love is really about from Jayci. I will never forget this Angel and all she went through, but most of all the Love she had, I will look in the sky and find the brightest star and know that she is still shining so bright. God Bless You Jayci, God Bless your family. Ginger

Jayci, i miss you soooo much and I know that you are keeping an eye on me. Its so hard to figure out how to live life without your beautiful face in it everyday. I miss your sassy smile and that little scream that drove me nuts when you were so excited about something. Im so sorry that you had to live such a short, rough life but you were a blessing every minute of it. I know you are in a better place now and that I must go on but I want you to know that you will forever move on with me. I will never let the memories die and I will always carry you in my heart. I love you so much and please tell our father up there that I am thankful that he gave you to me even though it was short lived. Forever in my heart love your mommy

Jayci, I think about you all the time. I miss you so so much, it's so hard for me still. I know you're in a better place now and I'm so happy that you're not hurting anymore. Anytime I see a butterfly I think of you calling me butterfly and me calling you my little bug. Just the other day I was putting on lipgloss and thinking of how you would always call it lipglof! :) I love you so much and miss you dearly. xoxo casey

Jayci, I am one of the many to whom your Aunt refers to. Though I did not know you personally you have forever changed my life and have touched my heart like no other. While I do not begin to claim to understand why God does what God does, like your Aunt I have to believe that God did not let you die in vain. He has a purpose and a plan for each one of us. For me you are an example of unconditional love. You have shown how to forgive beyond measure. You demonstrated tremendous strength and bravery in the face of a temporary defeat. You truly are a Gift of God.

Jayci, there is something else I thought of today, something that God showed me, a gift that He gave us in memorial to you, even though we don't understand why you had to die, He didn't let you die in vain, God used the media to tell people all over the world about you, and you Jayci, touched the heart of a nation. We will never fully realize how your life impacted so many who knew you and who didn't know you, but God knows and He let you fulfill your destiny and purpose here on earth. When Mary anointed Jesus with perfume before His death, He told her He would write a book of rememberance of her, Jayci, He did the samething for you, people will never forget you or how you changed their lives. This is a beautiful gift God gave to us and to you. You are now dancing with our Father God in Fields of Grace. All of my love Aunt Bonnie
