Jayci

10-year-old girl has died, just a day after her wish to see her father was granted.

Jayci Yaeger's imprisoned father, Jason, went to her bedside Wednesday -- a visit federal authorities allowed only after being deluged with letters and phone calls from across the nation.

Jayci had terminal brain cancer. Her family had been pleading with federal prison officials in Yankton, S.D., to allow her father to see his daughter before she died.

On Wednesday afternoon, prison guards drove Jason Yaeger to a Lincoln hospice, where he spent less than an hour at her bedside. No one else was allowed in the room except Jason Yaeger, Jayci and the escorts. Sources said Yaeger did leave the girl's side to consult with hospice counselors and get some direction on how to speak with the girl about what she was going through.

Today is your earthly Birthday Jayci, you would be 15 now. I cant imagine you as a teenager, I often wonder what you would be like. If you would be sassy or if you would be doing all the wonderful things you had planned for your life. You wanted to drive the car so you are now old enough to get your learners permit. Oh how I miss you. I know you are so happy in your home with Jesus and I know you are happy and pain free always. I wouldnt want it any other way... Love you my little butterfly

Jayci Yaeger Is in Gods hands.

I was browsing through the YouTube videos today and came across Jaci story my condolences go out to the family and I hope and pray that God give you strength through the years it's horrible to loose a child and I thank God that my kids are healthy. We must all keep fighting for family's like the Yaegers, to see that their rights are up held. The court system in this country needs to be drastically changes no child should ever have to go what she went through at the end of her life, when she needed her daddy. The court system needs to show more compassion.

Wow! I realize it's been several years but I just came across your story on the internet. I was very relieved to learn that due to public outcry your final wish was granted. RIP Baby Girl...See you one day! Prayers to your family.
