A Day of Rest - Feb 22


We had such a wonderful time last night, Jerry really enjoyed himself. The bands were absolutely awesome we loved their music. We would like to give a big THANK YOU to everyone involved in putting this event on. THANK YOU to the bands Who's Holdin, Dirty Orange Sun, My Stupid Brother, Get Dead and Loudest Flag for donating their time. THANK You to Who's Holdin for donating the proceeds of the merchandise sales to Jerry as well as hookin Jer up with some sweet merchandise, you guys ROCK! THANK YOU to Get Dead for hookin Jer up as well with some sweet merch. We would like to give a huge shout out to Eric Muller from Renegade Sound for donating his time and sound equipment. A special THANK YOU to Sara and Chris Sihler for organizing this event as well as all the volunteers helping out, Salina, Nana, Mimi, Megan, Josh, Mitch, Daniel, sorry if I left anyone out. We can't forget to give a sweet, sweet THANK YOU to the Miller Family, they donated a guitar that all the bands signed. They gave Jerry the option to keep the guitar or auction it off. Jerry opted to keep the guitar it was just too special to part with, besides it will give him added incentive to work on getting his hands back so he can learn to play it. Thank you to all who came to the show, we had a rockin good time.

We got home about 2:00 am and by the time we got Jerry settled to bed it was about 2:40, needless to say we slept in until about 11:30. Sleeping-in pretty much threw off the daily routine, so today was sort of a chill day, a day to rest. Jerry's tired today but it was worth it he had a wonderful time last night.

Hey family! I'm glad you all had a good time, and more so that you had a much needed day of rest. Know this Jerry, our family and our church family has not forgotten you in our prayers, we are so excited and happy for your progress, keep with it. Katie and Dennis, we have not yet been able to assist at all due to my medical issues and some financial tightness. What we are now able to offer is time, time to pray, and time to help you find a vehicle. If it would help you, then you can expand your van search from where you are up through Oregon and Washington state, if you can find the perfect match, me and Nikki can help be your eyes and feet. If we find the right deal, we will drive it down to you. We hope that this can be some assistance, if we can help in any other way, please let us know. We Love you guys very much.

Great pictures, you guys! Looks like it was a great turnout! I just love seeing your smiles!!!

Hope the weather doesn't dampen your spirits, too much. Yesterday was a great day to hang out inside and take 'er easy - that what I did :)

Didn't know if you can use LiftLine until you get a van. Or see if the SCMetro has a van that would accommodate Jerry's 57".
