A note from Jesus: 
"Thank you to the fathers of the fallen, Mr. Tim Standfest and Mr. Jim Miller, for your words of wisdom, storytelling, and camaraderie. And to the everyday unsung heroes: those who help us deal with mental health issues. From the trained professionals to a good friend who always makes time to listen - y'all know who y'all are. I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for y'all."
