Thank JPG members re: "My Dad Died"

By David Eastham

I would like to thank all of the JPG members who sent their condolences and wishes over the last few days and even to those that simply viewed the story. It means a lot to me.

My brother is doing much better. He was originally in critical condition when first admitted to the hospital on Saturday. He went into surgery yesterday to repair his broken jaw and arm. We are hoping he will be released for my fathers services this Sunday in Crown Point, Indiana. We have family and friends coming in from all over the world including my uncle ( dads brother ) coming in from Georgia ( not the state ).

Again I would like to thank all who have sent their well wishes for my brother as well.

Sincere thanks,

Dave Eastham

I'm glad he's doing better.
It's so hard when all the bad things are going on all at once.
I'm so sad and yet impressed with your honestly and openness, sharing this sad moment of your life with the rest of us.
