Raegan Page Janney, age 2, was diagnosed with an ependymoma of the cervical spine in September of 2009.  The tumor was removed, but in January 2010 the tumor had spread throughout her brain and spinal cord and was diagnosed as a high grade glioma.  She passed away on March 23, 2010 at the age of 2, surrounded by her loving family at home and held in her Mommy's arms.  She inspired many people through her illness and death through her constant sweet disposition, beautiful smiling face, big blue eyes and beautiful curls.  She has nearly 6,000 fans of her Facebook page and many people still stop by to send well wishes for those of us she left behind.  She is missed and longed for by her Mommy, Daddy, "Bubby" Gage, grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, special friends, and many others.  Her memory lives on through her Mommy by keeping "Raegan's Rainbow" going and helping to spread childhood cancer awareness and hopefully help other families who have had to go through this awful disease. 

We love you Raegan, sweet baby girl! We will see you again someday soon!
