Jerry and Family,
Just know that I and everyone at the 96th are thinking of you. It was a little hard to be there today without my buddy. I depend on him heavily and thinking of what he is going through is heartbreaking. I am glad that things are going well and he is on his way to recovery. Get well soon Jerry, we all miss you.
