Mike says: To all of you who have helped our family, we would like to say "Thank You."
From the day Jake and Helen were flown to Harborview Hospital in Seattle we have felt the genuine concern, the love, the prayers and the positive energy that the Toledo Community has sent their (and our) way.
And we are amazed by the variety of ways folks have helped Emily and Jake pull their lives back together.
For this we are forever grateful.
Sincerely, Di and Mike Morgan
