Extending Gratitude,

First and foremost I would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support which was offered to me during my time in the hospital as well as throughout my recovery. The enormous amount of love and prayers I have received from everyone has been most humbling. I cannot thank enough, all those who supported me and drove hours to come see me as well as friends, family, numerous schools and communities, and to every unknown supporter who kept me in their prayers, please know that those prayers have given me inspiration and strength to endure. In parting, I want all of you to cherish your loved ones and friends like there was no tomorrow, to live your lives to the fullest by continuing to help one another, and be true to yourselves. Life is great when love shares patiently. With love from the bottom of my heart, James Hilaire Goalkeeper #1 Men's Soccer Team University of New Haven
