Hello-
This is Dave's wife Jill. I just want you to know that Dave is doing okay
and he is getting help. Thank you for the measures you took today to see
that nothing happened to him. The kids and I appreciate it. I will let you
know if anything changes.

God bless,
Jill

Thanks Jill, I'm sure this will help to put a lot of minds at ease. Everyone
is wondering if there is somewhere we can send cards. If you don't want to
put an address here on the NG you can email it to me at
(remove the spam stuff)

And I will forward it on. I never met you but I was at your house once and
met Dave and Caleb and I enjoyed their company very much. I hope everthing
works out for everyone.

Jill;
I only know Dave through this NG but I will tell you he was always there
with good advice and information, like a friend, I would appreciate it if
you would pass along to him that I/we all think the world of him and maybe
some day we can hook-up and cook some fine Q,
Love & Prayers to you and your family

Thanks for the heads-up here in RFC, Michael. I'm not an AFB regular
but I did read the thread about Dave and was so sorry to hear that he's
having such a rough time. Thank God folks cared enough to do something
for him!

Dave, if you get to see this, please remember that you're obviously very
liked, and not only here in the cooking groups. Keep your chin up, take
things slowly, and I promise from the bottom of my heart that it WILL
get better. You are not alone!!

Hugs and best wishes - Jani :-)

There will be some extra prayers said for you and your entire
family at the Ross house. Hang in there.

Thanks Jill,
Those are the best words we could hope to hear.

Jill,

I was shocked to see this two day old thread and discover that my
friend
Dave was in such dire straights. Thank God some of Dave's many other
friends had the foresight and inclination to act aggressively in a
timely
fashion. I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Dave and
Caleb
in Micanopy, FL a few months back. Additionally, he has shared many
stories with us in this NG. As you can see from this lengthy thread,
Dave
is highly respected across the nation.

You and yours will be included in our prayers.
