Our friend

Many of you went to school with Brian and I and we've known you for years. One of our high school friends, Jeremy Phillips, was injured the other day and we know many of you know him too. As a lot of you already know, Jeremy has coached wrestling since before we even graduated high school. He has built a large youth wrestling system in Neosho and has been the head high school coach for a while now.

Apparently, he was cleaning the mats the other day and somehow the chemicals he uses to clean got into his eyes. He has lost sight in one of his eyes and has very little sight in the other. He went to a specialist the other day and said it was discouraging. Jeremy is staying positive and said he will be alright and prays his eyes will heal and his sight return.

We're thinking about Jeremy and keeping him in our prayers. Please do the same for him. He's a friend of ours and he has done a lot for the wrestlers in Neosho.

P.S. Today is Jeremy's birthday, Happy 32nd Jeremy!

Thank you for your post or I wouldn't have known. He will most certainly be in our prayers. I enjoyed reading about his accomplishments with the wrestling team. You could just tell he had became a strong influence on those boys. Please keep us updated.
