I am completely stunned... Another angel has entered Heaven... cancer has claimed another life. Sierra Kesler was 9 years old. She had Down syndrome and battled Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia from 2005 until recently, when she relapsed. The doctors were able to get Sierra back into remission and she was getting ready for a bone marrow transplant when she got an infection in her lungs... but at last update, she was doing well. And now... I'm just shocked. I don't even know what else to say.
PLEASE pray for Sierra's family. Pray for her parents, Danny and Mary Lynn, and her brother and sister, Dano and Arielle. Please visit her caringbridge page by clicking on her name above and let them know you're praying. I know they can use all the support they can get right now.
Sierra, we know you're in Heaven, cancer free and playing with the other angels. I'm sure you are having a wonderful time, and we're so glad you'll never know pain again.
Cancer sucks. It's just not fair.

I'm so sorry...what a sweetie!
May the Lord give you rest! Praying!
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
:( Man...this is so sad...so many kids, taken way too soon. Praying for her family and loved ones as they grieve. Heaven sure gained a beautiful angel.
Such a beautiful little girl with such a sweet soul behind those eyes. :( Have peace in knowing that somewhere in Heaven there is a place where so many children play together and wait for their families to come home.
Look at her beautiful face!!
:(
Praying for Sierra's family!
I am so sorry. She looks like she was a sweetie.
Oh my. This is hitting me hard- I guess because of the Ds and ALL. You know this is my fear...relapse. Oh man, oh man...cancer sucks. To live in fear- it's just not right.
So sad, so young. Life is not always good, but God is good...all the time. I will pray for the Kesler family.
love T
This is terribly sad. I feel for her family.
It seems doubly cruel that Down Syndrome so often comes with problems with the heart, with poor vision, Leukemia and other illnesses.
I cherish my healthy, normal children. I'm grateful that their suffering is insignificant compared to others.
