Kendall,
I'm a friend and co-worker of Elaine. She is one of a kind and has kept me posted on your condition. From what I've heard and read about you it seems obvious from the lives you've touched that you are loved by many and no doubt respected by all. An enviable accomplishment that not many men can truly brag about. I'm sorry that I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet and to hear about the hell your going through. I wish you well and look forward to the day when we can meet so that you can regale me with that dry wit you seem to be famous for. Until then, show'em that they can't keep a good man down!
Take care-
Chris
