Our hearts are heavy with concern for our grandson Bryan. We would like to thank all those involved with his rescue and medical care. Thank you also goes out to all the neighbors that have been there to console my son and his family. We pray everyday that God will give Bryan back to us. The process is slow, and we receive updates daily. Not one day goes by that our thoughts and prayers are not with him, my son and his family. Words don't do justice on how our hearts aches. I believe that God is watching over my grandson Bryan and will return him to us soon. Once again, thanks to everyone who has been and will be involved with Bryans' recovery.

Being so far away has been extremely hard. I get daily updates on Bryans' condition from family members. It is comforting to know that everyone that knows him is pulling for him to make it though this difficult time. Thanks to each and everyone who participated in Bryans, rescue and all the doctors and nurses that are caring for him now. My prayers are with him, my brother Jack, sister-in law Dawna, my nephews Dan and Chris, my niece Persephanie, and my great nephew Kevin. May God be watching over Bryan as he continues on the road to recovery.

I know Bryan, Middle School and present. He his a good guy talks to me when he sees me, was in my class few times always awesome to work with. ever since graduation have not heard from him, but heard he has been in this crash, and I felt sad and it drew me back. Bryan is a good guy, I have prayed for him and told people that they don’t know who he is to pray for him, so I hope he pulls thru this.

I am the oldest of the three brothers, and Bryan is the youngest. First and formost I would would like to thank all the responding agencies for their quick and timley response to this tragedey. I would also like to say "thank you" to the person who thought to stop. He would not be with us today if it were not for you. Secondly, Bryan is still in critial condition, but is responding to verbal commands today. He is in no way near out of the woods as of yet. What Bryan needs is your continued thoughts and prayers to help him through this time. I personally would like to thank everybody for their help with and their prayers for our family.

This was my little brother who was in this accident. His is currently still in a coma in ICU and fighting for his life due to brain swelling. He WIll survive but he is no where in the clear as of yet. I want to say thanks to everyone involved in the rescue and especially to the guy who noticed the broken terrain of the shoulder and caring enough to stop and check. Oh yeah, The Tow rope was mine! I gave it to him in case he needed it! Thanks and God Bless!
