You all are such an amazing Jamily.
No matter how hard this continues to get
I always know that I can come on here and get my spirit lifted and strength renewed.
Thank you so much for being the good hearted people that you are.
You have no idea how much you all mean to us.
We are so fortunate to have such positive, supportive and inspiring people to talk to.
Thanks to all... I am going to do my best to get on here really soon for a better update. My worker who I had to let go's mother almost committed suicide. Then a week later I ran into him and he was going to a place to do the same. Everything has hit us at once. I do hope that you good people could do me one last favor and lend me your ears. By the way our friends are safe. Please...Please...Send us some of your good vibes and those who are religious some prayer. This seems to be the home stretch....
It has been a very hard day today. Your thoughts and good wishes are kept close to my heart and deeper in my soul. Please...Please....know that I haven't stopped thinking of you guy's for one day through this entire year.
I can't even count how many times you have saved me and my family from total disaster through which is now been well over a year.
John,
I can't imagine what is wrong with the people who let your company go. It seems like the most cruel way to deal with something that is probably a miscommunication.
There is no way to make the feelings you have go away but you have to believe that something better will come along to fill the gap.
I am praying for you and your employees that your kind deeds will come back to you as they should.
I hope once Shanna's surgery on the 6th is done and she is out of pain you can get your mind back in the game and have positive thoughts to move forward and regain a sense of control in your life.
Your kindness is overwhelming. I can't tell you how much we appreciate you guy's. Things are going to get a lot rougher here before getting any better.That's for sure but your posts have completely overwhelmed us with joy.
Thank you for that....
We are just so amazed and tearful of the devotion and dedication
you all have done with not forgetting us and sticking by our side.
You are all our guiding light, hope and strength.

This is my first post in this thread, but I have followed along the whole time.
I hope everything turns out well for you and your wife, and the entire family. You have been through a lot so far, don't give up hope now.
Not to be cheesy, but it's always darkest before the dawn. IT WILL NOT BE THIS HARD FOREVER. Be as positive as you can be, continue to fight along with your wife. We are here for you, day in and day out.

Hi John & Shawna,
Sending my best wishes and thoughts and good vibes to you both and the kids. I dont know if you recall why I moved back east but I am only helping with someone in a difficult spot and it is enormously taxing on my wife and myself. You both are so strong to keep fighting for what you need that you truly are an inspiration to us, as many have stated here. Please do let me know as well if there is anything in particular that you need assistance with and know that you have another few people who think about you and your family every day.
You know I seem to remember a different person two years ago that was full of genuine and constant positivity.
My heart is truly broken from all of this turmoil that has happened. Don't get me wrong I love and take care of my family.It just hurts to see a fall after fall.
I just hate not having our families closer during these times. I truly love the friendships and support that you unconditionally continue to send our way. I hope life rewards you in the best way possible. I WOULD OF NOT MADE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT YOU ALL.
Believe me I will not give up. Their is just so much a person can take before they break down. We will make it through.
Thank you... Thank you.... Thank You ...
forever in your debt and all of my love....
We are here for you John, and your family. That's is another great thing about the Pearl jam community. It's more than the music, it's the support, that we have for each other. The prayers, and positive thoughts continue for you and your family.

So, I have been following this thread for a long time now, but never found any words that might be any help or consolation in such a hard time. I still don't, but I just really wanted to say that, from what I read here, you are one of the strongest and bravest people I know. I can't even begin to imagine how you must feel, but it is really inspiring to see how you deal with all this and what love can do. So, stay strong, my family and I are keeping our fingers crossed for you guys. I'm sure there's great times ahead for you all, keep your head up!

Thank you so much for your heart felt words. It really means a lot that you and others take time out of your day to support us. I will be eternally grateful for that. Life is so precious and you never know what is around the corner. Live life to the fullest, hug all who are dear to you.
You people are so inspiring to me. You lift me up when I barely have the energy to keep going. I think about the music of Pearl Jam, and this incredible, warming and charismatic site where the fans seem to live through the music and at least for me it brings out the best in human nature.
I am doing my best here but the emotions are high and watching my wife not be able to walk most of time is gut wrenching and rips at the heart strings. Please continue to send us your thoughts, prayers, and good vibes. It really helps by strengthening my ambition and motivation to continue on. It is hard having most of the time 17 hour days and not feeling like I have accomplished anything.
Thank you again for your strength it is what has made all of this work. Without you there would of been no way we could of made it this far.
Don't ever think you're not accomplishing anything during your long days. For all the hope and support you feel from here, you provide that tenfold to Shawna.

Thank you...This is by far the longest and hardest time of our lives. I appreciate you man. You've been so incredibly supportive through all of this. Thanks for the music it is listened to constantly.

I've gone from barely functioning to being ready for whatever comes my way today. I can never make this up to you guy's but somehow in between I have been able to help others and pay it forward. I can't express enough how much you mean to me. Thanks Brett for always being here when we need you.
John & Shawna,
My heart just aches so for you & your family, your in my thoughts every day. Sometimes we feel so low, so many awful things happen & still, yet more is heaped upon our shoulders. Its like your in a vast hole, hanging on by your fingertips to the edge and life comes along & tries to dance on your fingers. Hang on tight, your will & strength is incredible and a true inspiration to us all. Much love & hope from my little corner in Ontario.
