Brian and Family - Praying for you and hoping for the best - knowing you have many who are and your strong family your recovery will happen. Great memories of us playing "horse" with Hilderandt, Rex and Curt and playing golf in the Bronco Open. I've been thinking about you and your family. Jeff Jahn said some great things to me after his visit with you. Continued success in the right direction and hope to see you soon. Love, Miles
