Let me start by saying, Chris in Temple, I totally agree with you. I heard this story briefly on the radio and I didn't catch all the details. Now that I've learned fully what this person has done my immediate thoughts are that I hope that this doesn't keep these kind people and others from taking a stand and doing what they feel is right for a person who is indeed sick, and needs support. May God bless the soul of this woman. It's not even about what she could have done to gain attention or money, it's about the fact that she would make a mockery of real human beings, her fellow mankind out in the world battling this disease. They're people who cringe when the homeless beg them for change outside of their local grocery store who will let alone donate money to an actual cause because it's some kind of government conspiracy theory. And it's people like this woman who continues to drag those people down.

to Peggy (west): i have known Bill for a long time and you couldn't be further from the truth. are you really going to blame the stupid choice(s) she made on him? and then to say "save the jails for illegals or minorities." you too are an idiot for making that remark. uneducated people like you are the reason the world is in this place it's in. in my opinion, after reading the facts...this girl is a self centered, unstable, pathalogical liar and seems to be getting what she deserves. she is an adult and i hope she will be made to take full responsibility for her actions. i recently had a very dear friend die from breast/brain cancer and she was a wonderful, honest, loving person. if she had lived just a bit longer and got wind of this she would have ripped this girl a new one being sick and all!!!!! that would have been pay back enough for alot of us!!!!

Being a cancer survivor, I must say this woman has changed the outlook of folks that will be asked to give in the future. I can only hope that the Hog Creek Icehouse will again stand behind a person in need and to all that donated to the cause. Cancer is a terrible monster that can really break a family financially and emotionally. I wa ssupported as well with expenses and I am greatly indebted to all that gave and supported me and my family through my fight.

to Peggy from West who posted:" She deserves another chance! Her husband probably emotionally abused her,she could never live up to his expectations.Save the jails & prisons for those who really deserve it like the illegals and minority trash." Trista is a grown woman....there is no justification for the act that she did...I believe that we have an awesome God, that forgives and has already forgiven her and no one has the right to put judgement on her. So what she did was NOT caused on how her husband...Sadly she must pay for the consequenses for her actions! She brought this to herself, all by herself! All we can do is pray that God gives her Family the strength to surpass this.....As far as for ur last comment, GROW UP!

How could you fake such a horrible thing??!!! Ohmygosh, you evil woman, I know people that have breast cancer or have died of breast cancer. The things they have to go through, or had to go through. If you only knew, if you only knew. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!

Trista, I guess your sitting back thinking how stupid all of us must look to you, we fell for you show, it was sad and heartbreaking at first we prayed for you and your family, now its just another pathetic story...I hope you have to pay every cent back to all that you stole from, I hope you never know what it means to have a good friend or people who truly love you you don't deserve it...I watched my father die and two of my friends die of cancer and I died too watching people I love in horrible pain begging to live to see their kids and grandkids grow up, but the pain was to much.. You have no idea what cancer means until it hits you and people you love...you disgust me...
