A BIG thank you

While I'm making cheese, I have lots of time to think, and decided that although there are MANY people to thank, there are a few who have helped keep this place running while we have tended to Jeremy's needs--I want to thank them personally--First, I need to thank Karyn and Zach, TJ and Josh--you guys have made staying in Syracuse much easier on Ron--he doesn't have to worry about the farm when you are around! Niki and Tim your house has been a Godsend to us--it's been nice to go and get a shower, a nice bed and still be close to the hospital when Mom felt she just couldn't leave! Larry Jaynes and Tom Brace, Justice Dale Jaynes and the residents of the Town of Catharine--for allowing Ron and I the time we've needed--and Larry you get an extra thanks because we know you are short handed, and then when the 2 Hoffman's take off, it leaves you scrambling!! To Chris, Val, Peggy, Aubrey, Robin, Todd, Taylor, Derek, Mark, Bobby and Becky & and my "queen" Lisa--where would I be without friends like you guys?? You have stepped up to help in the creamery when I needed you most!! Pat and Frank and everyone one else who has brought in meals--the meals have helped to take the stress off everyone--and it's wonderful to come home and find a meal in the frig! All you cookie bakers--the cookies have been a welcome treat to Jer and everyone who visits! Jeff & Jackie, Joelle, Jen, Nick, Rick & Kim, Crippen, Don & Mary & Gunner, Jackie G.--your support and visits have been a real moral booster to Jer--even when he is in a "pissy" mood, he seems to brighten when you show up!! Everyone who has visited, called or texted, Jer appreciates every second of your time. Val, he loves your "between class visits" and does appreciate seeing you even if he sometimes seems preoccupied!! I know I have left people out, and it's not on purpose! Please remember that our family appreciates EVERYONE of you more than you'll ever know. As we come on the Thanksgiving holiday, I know our family has a lot to be thankful for--we still have Jer among us to help brighten our days, and we know that with all the prayers, he will be back home on the farm before we know it!
