Subject: Jimmy Martin Very ill

Dad would want you to know that he is in the hospital right now. His
condition is very serious. He loves his friends and fans so much, and, as he always says, he will never forget you. Please keep him in your prayers, and pass the word along that he is very sick right now. We will try to send updates as we can. Thank you for your prayers, messages, and support.

Sincerely,

Ray Martin,

(Ray Martin is the son of Jimmy Martin.)
