Sgt. Jacobson: Thank you for your service to our country and my best to you and your lovely family. May there be much more progress to come in your recovery!

Hang in there! You are of "use" just by being and struggling through all of the hard stuff. And, in some mysterious way, you are a gift to your family. Know that you and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. Sister Theresa keeps us posted now & then.

You continue to be in our prayers as is your family. You have come so far. We wait for the updates from S Theresa and know we'll hear of more progress. God bless,

Marty, Amy, Amber and Julie,

What a wonderful article and I need to thank Krista for finding it and sending it to us. I have kept the Sisters updated and they are all with you in prayer and admiration.
