To the Editor:

My wife and I cannot express our thank-you’s about the outpouring of support for our son, Derek, enough.

He is paralyzed from the chest down now, as a result from a motorcycle accident in Phoenix. He has his arms, fingers and his mind. He still has his dream of working on motorcycles and providing coffee to people!

The Thompson family thanks everyone who keeps us in your thoughts and prayers. We will be OK!
