Hey guys I just wanted to let you all know that this morning a friend of the trip, Jesse Permann, passed away from cancer.  Jesse was a fun guy, and a great poker player, and we got to hang out with him a few times while we were on the trip.  He was the kind of guy that you just didn’t get sick of, super nice, welcoming, and knew how to have a good time.  He was only 29.

For now it would be great if you guys could just pray for his family and friends, and especially for his wife Rochelle.  They just recently celebrated their one year anniversary.  Sad news, but please keep them in your prayers.
