Hey guys, I’m gonna be gone for awhile so if ya could send some positive thoughts to my wife I’d appreciate it. She can use all the strength she can get.  
On Friday afternoon June the 4th, her birthday, she was hit by another vehicle broadside at a high speed and has been in a coma since that night.

I’ve got to get back to the ICU in Tyler. Just stopped in for a second to check things out and thought about y’all. Don’t know when I’ll get back.  
See ya later. t/k
