Coleman Larson won his final battle against Medulloblastoma last night when he ran safely into the arms of Jesus. Coleman touched so many lives in the last 2 years as he bravely fought off his cancer time and time again with Team Larson by his side. Coleman was sure to let everyone know that Team Larson NEVA DIVS UP! (Never gives up.) His biggest supporter and fan? His twin brother Caden... who fought a whole different battle the last two years. Caden learned to watch Coleman fight, watch him get SO sick he could barely sit up, and now he has watched his brother, his best friend, leave him.
Coleman is whole. He is cancer free and he will never have to take another steroid, another dose of chemo, or see another doctor ever again. The hardest part of Caden's battle is just beginning... he needs to learn to live without his brother, who he loved SO very much. Cancer SUCKS.
Please keep the Larson Family, Scott, Peggy and Caden in your prayers as they go through these next few days, weeks and months. If there's one thing I've learned about Team Larson, it's that even now, they will Neva Div Up. I know that they will make Coleman proud and his memory will live on forever.

I am in tears reading this. I just read the update from his mom. What an amazing fighter. Now he is with Jesus!
I tried leaving you a message and didn't know if you knew or not. This is such a sad day. I know they don't want us to question God but it is breaking my heart.
Thanks for sharing with us.
My prayers go with sweet Coleman. Before your blog I never knew HOW MANY people are affected with/by childhood cancer. It's overwhelming. I feel like I'm weekly seeing these angel posts, and it breaks my heart. Lord, please do something! I wonder what has changed in our lives.... diet, environment, immunizations, is their any sort of wisdom we need from God to know how to protect our children? Not just the children either. With my Dad's recent cancer diagnosis....it's real now. Recently a nurse said "More people are beating cancer than dying from cancer these days" How INSENSITIVE! The point is: PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING FROM CANCER. I'm only comforted by the fact that I know they have hope for life after death on earth. My heart and prayers go out to sweet Caden's brother. Cancer SUCKS!
My heart just aches for them. Especially Caden, i have a twin and just can't imagine.
XOXOXO sweet Caden and Coleman ^i^
My best friend Kewey is one half of twins and as much as they don't get on all the time I know they'd be totally devestated even either of them lost the other one.
Cancer sucks big time!
I've been following his story from an earlier post you had on your blog. What an amazing fighter. God Bless him and his family.
I have been following Coleman for so long and praying for a miracle. That family is amazing and an inspiration for all families. I knew things weren't going well but prayed that God's will would be the same as ours. I know He knows what He is doing but I sure wish we knew the plan. I will be praying for this family and especially for sweet Caden as he adjust to this. You are so right CANCER SUCKS and a cure must be found so no more families have to lose their babies.
I felt ill when I read the carepage update. Then I cried. I've never met Team Larson, but they taught me so much over the last year(I found them through your blog)My heart aches for the whole family , but espically for Caden, like you said he lost his best friend.I will keep them in my prayers today , and many days to come.Once again CANCER SUCKS
For some reason Renee I came to your blog first (before any carepages or caringbridge sites) and my heart just sank at reading of Coleman's passing. I don't even know what to say, my heart is broken for a little boy that I have never met, but have prayed for and hoped for months and months. Rest in peace beautiful angel!
My heart just hurt when I saw that update. I started following Coleman's care page through your blog, I think...
I certainly will keep Coleman's family in my prayers.
Bless his heart and his brother's, his twin is the very saddest part to me because we know that Coleman is fine, it's his brother who has to miss him for the rest of his life. When I see that these children have passed (too many) I try to remember how special their home in heaven must be...
Coleman está en nuestras oraciones, asi como todos los niños quienes sufren de al guna enfermedad...
Coleman ya es un angelito cerca de Jesús y ya está disfrutando de paz y gozo...
Damn, that just sucks!
Excuse my bluntness; there's no other way to put it.
I read this on his carepage last night and I cried...so sad!
Kaci over at mythreesons called me last night to tell me this news. So sad!
Thanks for sharing his beautiful picture.
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My son too was dx with medulloblastoma and I was googling medullo & your blog came up.
Your family will be in our prayers tonight. I like how you said 'won'. I hope God continues to circle his loving arms around you and your family.
Rachel
Your words are perfect. Grieving with the Larsons. You and my other 'internet family' have taught me so much about myself, life and parenting. Thank you, Renee.
Love T
I am bawling right now, I think this is why my email was acting up at work, because I couldn't check anything there. Good thing, cause if this update would have come through there I would have been a goner. Prayers to Team Larson.
I am heartbroken over Coleman, just heartbroken.
I read Peggy's update last night, and the tears just started flowing, and they didn't stop for a good 15 minutes. It was really tough to get myself to stop crying. Did you cry as much as I did?? I will DEFINITELY miss him terribly. The tears are about to fall, again, reading your entry. I wish that C-Man was back here with us. Anyways, I just had to comment. This is definitely one little boy that I hold dear to my heart.

My heart breaks for them. So sad, but a sense of peace that he is healed and with Christ.
Sharing in this widespread grief and praying for God's love to enfold Caden as he adjusts to life without his brother.
He touched my heart
He touched my mind
He name was Coleman
He was only 5
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Were it not for care pages and me battling breast cancer myself I woudl have know about this precious family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am so happy to have know him through his care page.
He "neva" gave up.
He will forever remain in my heart.
I pray for Caden to understand and be able to cope. It will be so hard for him and Peggy and Scott.
May God Bless them all.
