Dear Father Bob,



It has been a great pleasure to have known you for many years now. I have followed your work and always respected the struggles and challenges you have faced as an abuse survivor. It takes great courage for any survivor to come forward to report their abuse and to hold their perpetrator accountable, but in your case as a Catholic priest, your courage has been even more remarkable.



This past year, I have called you on many matters for your direction and support. I want to thank you for always being there and offering me your help. Your assistance made a huge difference in exposing another serial child predator in the Church. Keep up all the good work you do, because you’re helping to make a positive change in the lives of the victims of abuse.



Sincerely,



Bill Nash
