Cancer-Stricken Girl Whose Last Wish Was to See Inmate Dad Has Died

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | March 28, 2008 

The 10-year-old terminally ill daughter of a prison inmate — who won a battle with his jailers to see her one last time — has died of brain cancer, FOX News has learned.

Jayci Yaeger lived long enough to be reunited with her father, Jason Yaeger, earlier this week at a hospice in Lincoln, Neb.

Her story prompted a nationwide outpouring of sympathy and pleas to jail officials to let Jason Yaeger be released from a federal prison to see his little girl before her death.

On Wednesday, the family’s wishes came true when prison guards escorted Jason Yaeger to the hospice where Jayci lay dying.

Jayci, who could not speak, move or eat, could sense that her father was next to her and feel his touch, because she began breathing more heavily during his visit, the family told FOX News.

But to their disappointment, the visit lasted only about 30 minutes.
