DEAR BLAKE AND EVERYONE ELSE, WE ARE PRAYING VERY VERY HARD FOR ALL OF YOU. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO SAY, BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT IT TO SOUND GOOFY. BLAKE, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT WHEN YOU AND BRANDON PLAYED FOOTBALL LAST SEASON, BRANDON LOOKED UP TO YOU. I THINK YOU ARE THE FUNNIEST KID ON THE TEAM, NOT TO MENTION THE BEST. BRIANA, HUSTIN WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT HE IS THINKING OF YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS TIME, AND HE HOPES YOU ARE OKAY. TAMMY AND BRIAN, MY HEART GOES OUT TO YAH'LL. AND STEPDAD, YOU ARE THE "BOMB". YOUR WEBSITE IS SO WONDERFUL. BLAKE IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOU UPDATING HIS PROGRESS AND KEEPING HIM BUSY. I WISH WE COULD COME AND CHEER YOU UP BLAKE, YAH KNOW, MAKE YOU LAUGH UNTIL MILK COMES OUT OF YOUR NOSE, JUST KIDDING. I KNEW I WOULD SAY SOMETHING GOOFY!!!!! WELL, GIVE YOUR AUNT LINDA AND YOUR MOM'S MOM A HUG FROM ME. DID YOU KNOW LINDA TOOK CARE OF BRIANA AND HUSTIN WHEN THEY WERE JUST LITTLE BABIES? YEP, AND YOUR MOM AND I HAVE BEEN BUDDIES SINCE THE EARLY 80'S. WOW. WELL TAKE CARE AND GET BETTER SO YOU CAN GO AND KICK SOME BUTT ON THAT FOOTBALL FIELD. WE ARE ALL ROOTIN' FOR YOU. LOVE, MARY, JEFF, BRANDON, HUSTIN, AND KATY SODEN
