Words cannot express the appreciation for all the prayers, love and support to our family.

On May 23 our son, Brian, suffered a traumatic brain injury and was flown by REACH to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital.

After brain surgery and being in an induced coma for eight days he is now home.

On June 18 a fundraiser was held at Terrace Middle School.

We would like to give a big thanks to the ladies who came up with this idea – Jodie Maize, Jennifer Taylor, Crystal Martin and Jodi Howe.

They recruited many other friends, family, businesses, and law enforcement to make this happen. The results were beyond our dreams.

Countless hours were spent organizing. Everything was donated by the community, live and silent auction items, food by McDonald's, Lakeview Market, Lakeport Grocery Outlet and Lakeport Unified along with the facility, plus a surprise landing of REACH with the crew that flew our son out the day of the accident.

What a wonderful place we live! e will forever be grateful.
