Thank you to family and friends and the 40/8 for the surprise birthday party. Thanks for the gifts (some unusual!) and well-wishes. Since I'm older than most of you, remember what is said about PAYBACKS. Thanks for helping me over another hill, you are all wonderful. God bless you all.

Thanks from Kevin Hoefer

I would like to thank everyone who attended the benefit, and those who made it all happen, God bless you all. I know it was a lot of work and effort by many people, so thank you very much for your efforts. To all those people who donated money to my medical fund, and those of you who donated other things such as items for the silent auction, food, services, or anything to bring this all together, I thank you and applaud you, well done! I want to thank everyone in my life right now for helping to lift my burden from me, it allows me to not stress while I fight this battle. Having you all there to cheer me up and cheer me on really makes it easy for me to concentrate my efforts on healing, which is what I believe is happening for me.
