Dear Mr. Elliott,

I wanted to thank you sir for your continued efforts and support of Mr. Compean and me.  I cannot tell you what it means to my family and me to know that you and Grassfire are continuing your efforts to keep our story alive.

Of course, I would also like to thank each and every member of Grassfire out there that is supporting us.

Your support has meant so much to me and has gone a long way in helping me through these long days in segregation.  Your willingness to continue to stand by me and believe in me has helped strengthen my determination and belief that we will persevere.

I would also like to thank you Mr. Elliott for assisting my beautiful wife Monica in her efforts as she continues to travel the country to garner support and spread the word of our plight.  She continues to work so hard day and night to come up with different ideas to get more atention and support.

She has been my strength, my rock through this past year.  Knowing she has been out there for me, fighting for me, waiting for me has meant more than the world.  She has shown how extraordinary she is for many in her position could not have or would not have handled this well and would've given up a long time ago.  I cannot express in words how much everything she has done has meant to me and how much I deeply love her.  She is much more than just my wife.  She is my friend, my confidant, my shoulder to cry on, the one who has always encouraged me and believed in me, she is the mother of my children, a part of my mind, my heart and my soul, the very essence of my being.  She has kept me going through all this.  I just wanted everyone to know how I felt about my wife and everythig she's done for me.  She deserves it.  She's the best.

With the coming holidays I ask please for your continued prayers and support for both mine and the Compean family.  To hep us get through what is sure to be an exceptionally difficult time of year, especially for our children.

Thanks again Mr. Elliott to you, Grasfire, and all of your amazing members for everything you have done for us.

I know in my heart this will all be over soon.  Our faith and trust in God will see us through.  For He says: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.  Jeremiah 33:3

Sincerely,

Ignacio Ramos
