    I know this must grieve his parents.
    They are hard working, good people.
    Come on Jourdan, you are so young and know better.
    Don’t mess up your life.
    You are in our prayers.

    I hope Penn Air doesn’t hold it’s breath waiting for that restitution. You can’t get blood out of a turnip.
