Lincoln Daily News
welcomes letters of appreciation, information and
opinion on matters pertaining to the community.
Controversial issues:
As a
community we need to be able to talk openly about
matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get
your point across is to stick to the issue
and refrain from commenting on another person's
opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the
issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

Rhonda Hawkins, the mother of Billy Ray Eskew,
contacted LDN to make her appreciation known to the community. She
wishes to let everyone know how much she appreciated their help,
kindness and sympathy during a most trying time.
The mother of the youth who died under tragic circumstances on
May 26 wanted to communicate to the community before returning to
Iowa. "I really don't know what to say. I am so very grateful to
everyone who helped look for my son," she said.
She named the Logan County Emergency Management Agency, the
Department of Natural Resources, the Logan County Sheriff's
Department and the Red Cross; however, she wanted to express her
gratitude to everyone involved in the search: "There were so many
people involved in the search from so many communities, and I
couldn't even begin to name everyone I want to thank."

 Hawkins stated she truly appreciated the fact that searchers
didn't give up and went over areas twice. "I also want to thank
everyone who donated food and drinks to the search members, and just
everyone who was so kind to us," she said.
She wanted everyone to know she would remember them as she
continues to cope with her loss. "To all those people, many who I
don't know, who said they would keep my son and our family in their
prayers, I want them to know they are all in my prayers."
