Friends and Family,

We are so grateful for all the help you have been to us in this situation. Like many of you, we were stunned by the overwhelming attention our lease issue has brought, and we have been humbled by how many people have been willing to serve on our behalf. We have been especially touched by the many offers of financial support, both before and after our lease situation was known, and want to especially thank those who have made it possible that we don't need to worry about the lease.

In addition, we could not have managed in the last few weeks without all the support of friends and family who have helped watch our children while I received treatments, especially Matt's mom assisted by her own "fairy godmother" (Crystal's sister Sarah) who has been the children's primary support over the last three weeks. We also want to thank the members of our church ward in McKinney who have done so much to support; from helping with the children to packing and loading our worldly goods to be moved to Utah. And, of course, we want to thank Crystal's parents and brothers who will be making the run from Texas to Utah to deliver our stuff.

When we first found out about the cancer we felt the assurance of the Lord that we would have ministering angels attend us through this trial. We consider all of you who have helped and are helping to be among those ministering angels, and are so grateful to you and to the Lord for sending you to us.

Sincerely,

Matt and Crystal
