THANK YOU!!!
Jeff Green’s Benefit Tournament
Jeff and I would like to thank each and every person that contributed to the benefit tournament, whether through participation, contribution or donation. We are both extremely grateful for your efforts, and humbled by the tremendous show of love, compassion and concern. Your donations will go towards our medical bills and we will always remember the day fondly and with much gratitude.
We would especially like to thank Scooter for organizing the event in such a short amount of time, and for running the event, even though I'm sure he would have much rather played. Scooter has been such a good friend to our entire family over many years, he is like family himself. Thanks to Debbie Turman and Natalie Lowe for their help with flyers and getting the word out. We would also like to thank all those that contributed items and services for the raffles, and thank you to all those that played in the tournament and still others that have showed their support with personal donations, and thanks so much to Volcano's for allowing the event to be held there. We are sincerely grateful to you all.
Congratualtions to Nat and Bill Lowe for their first place win, and a special thanks to Natalie for giving us her First Place Trophy! It’s going on the trophy shelf Nat!
Jeff is currently in remission after going through 7 weeks of radiation and chemo and 4 surgeries. His chances of recovering completely are very good. Thanks so much to all the friends that took the time to phone him with their welll wishes, and for all the cards and emails. He really felt and appreciated your concern. Thank you so much, to the special group of friends, near and dear to our hearts, that have shown their ongoing support and love and never let us forget the meaning of friendship and the strength in it. We feel truly blessed.
We have never thanked my Dad publicy and I would like to thank him now, in this forum for making himself available to Jeff and I during all hours of the day and night, for so many months. Jeff lost both his parents and brother to cancer, and my Dad has not only helped out as a caretaker, he has been like a second father to Jeff, and a strong emotional and spiritual leader to us both, during this most difficult time of our lives. I would also like to publicy thank Jeff's daughter Missy, who drove many times from Arkansas to help out with her dad and hold my hand through the most difficult and frightening parts of this journey. And of course, many thanks to my children, Tabitha and Shane. Even though Tabitha lives in Chicago, and has an impossible schedule, she still managed to show her support and love in so many amazing and constant ways. Thanks to Shane, our 15 year old son, who was forced to deal with something a boy never should at his age, the illness of his dad, his hero. Shane really matured and stepped up during Jeff's illness and he is forever changed. I am so proud of our son, he is such a great person and has truly been a rock to us both.
Our heartfelt thanks to our amazing team of doctors and nurses! These people worked tirelessly and would never for one minute let Jeff give up his fight, or let our family give up hope. Their positive attitude, skill and emotional support is beyond words. And a big shout out to the man upstairs! We felt his presence and guiding hand each and every day and are grateful for his love and mercy. This experience has changed us in so many ways, and he will forever be a daily part of our lives.
Jeff looks forward to a full recovery and a time when he can come out to visit and thank you all personally.
With much love and thanks,
Gay & Jeff Green
