Seth Charles Bollschweiler "Sethman" Born 25 March 2007, Died 19 May 2010. Seth returned to his Heavenly Father after an 11-month battle with Leukemia (AML). He passed away at home in his mother's loving arms. Heaven has welcomed home one of the bravest soldiers they let come to earth.

He spent his final moments reassuring his family of his peace, as he passed thru the veil. He is survived by his valiant mother, Shannon; his courageous father, Darin; his big brother, Corbin; and big sister, Jennaveve; a host of grandparents; aunts; uncles; cousins; and friends. Seth will be missed, remembered and in our hearts forever. The family would like to thank the Primary Children's Medical staff of doctors and nurses for the many hours of loving care that they rendered to Sethman. They would also like to thank the Home Health Care nurses for their love and support. Funeral services will be held Monday, May 24, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. at the Crosspoint Ward, 1325 West 5550 South.

Into Heaven's Arms

Today, the 19th day of May, Seth Charles Bollschweiler finished his fight on the earth and returned to his Father in Heaven. He was at home, where he was promised he would be, with his, mom, dad and siblings, the people in the world he loved the most. He was at peace, and spent a few minutes with open eyes, being reassured by his mom and I am certain he was reassuring her with volumes of peace through his beautiful blue eyes.

There will never in my lifetime be enough words to express the love and gratitude I have felt from the outpouring of love for this little family. I also feel impressed to share my absolute assurance of the eternities and that I know we can all be with our little Sethman again. There is peace in my soul and I pray there is peace in yours.

We anticipate we will be having the funeral on Monday, with a viewing Sunday evening. We will post details as soon as we have them.

Sitting with an Angel

Just a quick post tonight....

We just returned from sitting with Seth for a while. It was a very sweet experience to be in his presence. He is weak in body, but his spirit is growing stronger by the second. Family members were able to gather tonight to spend a few moments with him and it was precious.

We ask for your prayers (as always) that there be an intense out pouring of peace and comfort come over his family at this time. Darin, Shannon, Corbin, Jenna and Seth, I love you all and may you have peace this night.

The Jazz Bear

WOW!!! What a great memory we will have after this event! The Utah Jazz mascot...aka "Bear" made a very special visit to Seth today. It started by greeting Corbin and Jenna when they got off the bus....well sorta, Jenna didn't get on the bus...but we'll get to that. When the school bus pulled up the Bear van sped towards it lights and sirens going and out jumped the Bear...from the TOP! Kids started getting off the bus and the Bear hugged the all! The coolest part for me was Corbin getting off and arms in the air yelling..."this is freakin' awesome!" Then we watched for Jenna to get off....soon realizing she was never on the bus! So, Bears driver put Corbin, Darin, and Bear in the van and sped off to the school to get Jenna. Lights and Sirens blaring and picked her up! It was fun. When they finally arrived home, Bear quietly came in the house and immediately went to Seth's side. Seth has had a bit of a rough day today, but I felt like the Bear calmed him some. He brought Seth a Boozer Jersey...in his size that was personally autographed especially for Seth. He also brought bags for the kids with shirts, balls, mini Jazz bears, and a wrist band and hat. It was adorable. Bear sat with Seth for a LONG time. He held his hand and just calmed the room. It was special....I wish you could have all been there!

As for the rest of the day....just resting, hand holding and a little one on one time with those around him. I can't begin to express my love and appreciation for all the kindness you are all showing Seth at this time. He is a fighter, strong and brave. I believe it has been one of life's greatest privileges to be his Aunt! Hang tough little buddy! I love you to infinity and beyond!

A big bunch of THANKS!

What can I say...SO many wonderful people doing so many wonderful things! This post is so sweet! I was trying to make a list of all the small and simple acts of kindness that have been shown in the past couple of days....but the list is endless! What amazing people there are! Seth has been working with the Make-a-Wish foundation for a couple of months. Although he was not able to realize his first wish, they have continued to work with him and have worked to find something to be fun for him. The day Seth left the hospital he was showered with Buzz Lightyear gear from ear to ear! Disney's Pixar was willing to arrange a private screening of Toy Story 3 for him, but some logistical dilemmas with location and getting Seth around pushed that aside. However, the foundation came out to Seth's house last night and installed a new big screen TV in front of Seth's bed. He does like to watch movies and what better way than on a new BIG TV. Thank you Make-a-Wish.....that was great!

Also, Seth has a home health nurse that has helped with his care in the past and she has arranged for Seth to see How to Train a Dragon in a theatre by his house in a nice hospital bed. It will be so much fun for him to go to the movies with his family!

There are meals coming into the family for dinner and many many acts of kindness to help during this time for the family we can't begin to thank everyone individually, nonetheless, we are thankful.

So many of you have asked what can you do to help. We have always been very supported by your prayers and faith and ask you continue to pray for Seth and our family during this time. In addition, if you would like to contribute to Seth's fund, there are still medical expenses as well as future expenses coming that will need to be met. You can make donations by following the link on this blog through PayPal. If you have any questions or would rather contact me directly for more information, please feel free to do so at dtwebarker@msn.com.

A day at the park and Family Pictures

Today Seth and his family went to Murray Park! What a beautiful day it was! He got to ride in his chair for a bit and then he posed for a MILLION pictures with his family! A friend and photographer offered to do some family photos for Seth and what a treasure they will be. Thanks a million Janae (Memories by Janae)! I can promise her pictures will be better than mine...but I didn't want you to have to wait for the professional ones....these are a sneak peek!

Seth also made a stop at Grandma and Grandpa Bollschweilers house where he spent some time letting his cousins see him and of course....more pictures!

He is home now and after a few moments of struggling he is in bed resting with dad! We love you Seth...your so amazing! And by the way, I have NEVER seen eyes like this little guys, they are so darling!
