Letter from Lori Ackley

March 1, 2009 in San Jose after Region Championship

Dear Wheelin' Jazz team,

Can I just say, you guys are awesome. Not just on the court but off the court as well. We have had such a great time with you this weekend and it has been fun getting to know you guys on a more personal level.

Over the last year I have realized that each one of us will have challenges in this life. It might appear that some of us have tougher challenges than others. Over time I have learned that the challenges we experience are unique to us as individuals to help us grow in to the person we're supposed to become.

While I was packing for this trip I came across this quote that I wanted to share with you. It goes like this, "You did not come into the world to fail. You came into the world to succeed. You have accomplished much so far. It is only the beginning."

You guys have been awesome role models for our boys and our family thinks that you are: "Simply the Best."

Love, the Ackley Family
