My prayers go out to Eldon bailey and his family, I'm a friend of Chad hummell and I want to say I've never met a guy with a bigger heart. Family means a lot to him so I know this is weighing terribly on his conscious. this was all an extremely tragic mistake. I wish everyone involved the best of luck. And I'm asking you keep Chad in your prayers too. They say the worst mistakes in life are the ones you can't take back...
