Remembering Liam and praying on our knees for his family. From Jo Bishop, DIPG/DMG parent and advocate: “Liam passed away yesterday after living and fighting with dmg for fifteen months. He was just five years old. Just a little boy but oh so mighty, he fought with bravery, tenacity and grace. No matter what he was going through he always had a smile on his face and continued to make everyone laugh with his glorious sense of humour. Liam was determined and didn't let dmg stop him from doing what he wanted, he never stopped fighting. You beat cancer by the way you live your life, Liam lived his to the fullest always looking for the joy and wonder in every day. We are sorry that we failed you Liam, it’s 2024 and there should have been a cure for you. We will never forget you sweet boy, your courage, your indomitable spirit, your sweet disposition, and will always say your name. Please keep Liam's family and all who love him in your thoughts and prayers.
There, there she said. She rocked him back and forth. "There, you foolish, beautiful boy who wants to change the world. There, there. And who could keep from loving you? Who could keep from loving a boy so brave and true?
As you all know today has not been a good day.
There will be a viewing for Liam on Sunday from 3-5pm at Rancks in Milton for anyone who would like to take a moment to stop in. We know Liam touched so many. The support from our community these past 15 months has made our hearts so warm ♡.
My beautiful boy gained his wings. He is no longer in pain.
My heart is shattered into a million pieces and I don't know how I will ever put them back together.
The children are shattered. Our family is shattered.
We know Liam is now at peace and no longer struggling but that does not make this process any easier for us.
Liam was a kind soul. The type of person who would have done big things. Made a difference in the world. He was so smart and caring. He loved making people laugh. He had a thing for all animals big and small. He always loved to give you a smile and say so how are you?. He loved hugs and cuddles.
I'm trying to make sense of this cruel cruel thing that happened today. I appreciate all of your messages and when I can bring myself to I will respond ♡.”

Pray for Liam and his family.🙏✝️🙏
Update from Liam’s mom Jeanette: “This is the real part of childhood cancer. Typically we post smiling happy photos but the reality is that's not cancer this is 🙁
This is a mother's worst nightmare.
Watching your child gasping for air. His body being on fire but has no temperature so nothing you can do for it. The pain the terrible pain. The inability to be awake without his oxygen and heart rate being out of control.
April 2023 my life was wrecked. I didn't know how I was going to move forward with life but we did. Even though the doctors warned us the worst was yet to come we didn't really understand what that truly meant.
After a night of zero sleep and watching this horrific tale continue to unfold my heart breaks more and more.
This is childhood cancer. This is what lacks funding. This is what is taking innocent children from their families.
Childhood cancer breaks you. You give up everything to care for your child. It puts the biggest financial, emotional, and physical drain on you. But nothing is near as bad as the struggle this sweet boy must endure.”

Let us keep the family of Mason in our prayers and in our hearts. From his family: “Last night Mason took his final breath in the arms of his mom, dad, and sister. It was a hard, HARD day, and we are going to need forever to get past that experience! We are so thankful he left all of his pain and entered the pain free arms of jesus! And it just gives us peace of mind knowing he’s walking again and fishing with Ryan! Thank you all for your prayers and support! We could still use your prayers while we plan for the (next) hardest days and years without him.”
