I am so sorry to hear about Orville, but in a way I am happy to hear that he is flying with the angels in heaven, pain free. Today, I spoke to Orville's father at Valley Children's Hospital and he just told me about this guest book. I met Orville at VCH a few months back while taking my own daughter to treatment. He was a brave and strong little boy, but mom and dad you guys are to thank for that one. Your strength rubbed off on him and I know this because I have to be strong for Kalina. Kalina had a brain tumor and she is still receiving chemo and I know it is hard to see your little one suffer. A friend once told me that God doesn't give us things that we can't handle. Orville is now one of God's angels and he is looking down upon his family each and every day. Although Orville is not here physically, he is here mentally and spritually. His memories will live a life time as well as his charm. God Bless your family and I will pray for your family's strength to grow.

Dear Leslie and John,
I was saddened to hear of Orville's passing, and that I was not in town to attend his funeral service. I have fond memories of a joyful and apparently brave boy from his days at Madison Elementary School. While his passing must have left you with a great sense of loss and grief, I hope that you are comforted by the knowledge that he is the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and that you have the blessed hope that you will see him again some day. I extend my deepest sympathy to both of you and your family, and pray the Lord will comfort you with His peace which "surpasses all understanding."
God bless,
Peter Tozlian,
Principal, Madison

Dear Orville's family, it is me, Addie Waterfall and grandma. We spent alot of hours and days at the hospital getting treatment with Orville and talking and sharing. It seemed like we all were part of a hospital family. Orville was very brave, he cared alot about me and grandma and we cared alot about him. He not only was in my memory as very special person, but I know he is and will always be "a really neat kid." We Love You Orville. Addie and Jarie Waterfall

Dear Leslie and family,
I had the privilege of teaching Orville how to bowl, I remember those eyes light up when he would get a strike or pick up a good spare. Thank you for bringing him to see me at the bowling alley that last time. I will always remember his blue eyes and great smile. As well his birthday 11-7 for we shared not only the love of bowling but the same day as well.
Love and prayer are with you always.

Dear Leslie, John, Orville Sr. and Denise:
You do not know me, nor do I know you. We have never met, and we probably never will. I just wanted to let you all know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that GOD's comfort will rest upon you all.

In just the short period of time that I have come to know you and your son, my life has been enriched by your strength and his bravery.
God has truly blessed us all with the short time Orville was with us and the impact he has made in raising awareness for this rare cancer.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. God bless, Barbie

Dear Leslie and Family!
I am so sorry for your loss! Leslie, I admire your strenght and thank you for being such a good friend to me always. You are truly amazing! I wish I could be there with you now. Orville was often on my mind after I left Fresno and I regret not doing more while he was sick. He was such a sweetheart and always so good to my son Marcelle. My thoughts are with you, always.

I send love and support to your family at this terrible time of loss. Know that your son is at peace. We are joined by a common link called Rhabdomyosarcoma. Hopefully, someday, there won't need to be that link. Know that Orville and my son, Adam, are together in a Rhabdo-free, happy place. They are now watching over and guiding us. They will help to dry our tears, but understand when then do flow. Love knows NO end.
