Thank you

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

Once again I’m overwhelmed by the help and support so many gave over the weekend to assist in our search for John. Though I am profoundly disappointed we didn’t find anything leading us to John, I’m equally moved by the fact that friends, family and complete strangers came from near and far, to help me and my family. I’d really like to thank Anne Bielby with Rachelfind.com for her determination and helping with the organization of the search, Dan Woodruff for helping with the maps, Eric Lorenz for his communications effort, the DuPage County Sheriff’s Dept. for their assistance, Detective Troy Peacock for helping search and organize; the Jewel grocery store for providing an abundance of bottled water, Panera Bread Co., for providing enough bread and bagels for a small army; Brian of Brian’s Charhouse for allowing us to use his property, tables, tents and providing food and for his overall kindness, compassion and sincerity in trying to find John; ABC TV and WLS TV for airing our search along with other media that have covered the search in their papers, the Olsen family who came to search while going through their own turmoil in the search for their son, Bradley; Kinko’s in St. Charles for providing many colored copies, and Country Inn and Suites, and it’s manager, Bill Hannen, for allowing me to stay at their hotel in St. Charles at no charge so I could be closer to John. Again, my deepest thanks. Stephanie
