Dad,
I wanted to let you know that we are all doing very well. I have become Miami Countys first EMT Deputy Coroner. I was nominated as EMT of the year for the state of Kansas. I feel that I have become the man you always wished I would become. I wish you were here to meet Hayden, your grandson, He loves to hear stories about you. I wish you could also meet Sara, my wife, She is a gift from God. Mom is very happy and doing so well.You would be very proud of her, I know I am. Keep riding.

Love,
Matt

Brother Gamblin,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue
