To Whom it may Concern:

I own and manage a private day school for special needs children with emotional, social and behavioral challenges. One of Kurt Warner’s former coaches (Coach Larry Fields) works for me. Kurt Warner has stated in interviews with ESPN and in his own biography that Coach Larry Fields was one of his most influencial coaches. Coach Fields is a very humble man of strength and character. Coach Fields never complains, becomes angry and is always the center of calm- he comes to work every day and gives it 150%. This man rarely takes a break -not even to eat lunch. Coach Fields dedicates his life to God every day and he makes a positive difference in not only the lives of the students we serve but in the lives of those around him. Coach Fields is has been experiencing some personal hardships and in an effort to show our love and support we came together as a staff and surprised Coach with a #13 jersey and tickets to Sunday’s game.

The reason I am posting this message is that I am hoping to get a short letter or message to Kurt – to let him know that Coach Fields will be with him on Sunday afternoon. I am copying this letter to this message board in hopes that Kurt will receive this information before the game on tommorow.

As a side note Coach Larry Fields was also a former football player for Washington Redskins as #19 under Coach George Allen. He also came out of a small university in Iowa and tried out for the Washington Redskins as a walk on player. Thanks, Mary

Dear Kurt,
I wanted to give you an update on Coach Larry Fields. My staff and I were able to surprise Coach Fields with a #13 Cardinals jersey and tickets for Sunday’s Playoff game against the Eagles. I wish you could have seen the smile on his face and the tears forming in his eyes. He expressed his gratitude and how much having the opportunity to watch “his boy” play meant to him. Coach is a humble man and has never said a word to any of us about how much he really wished he could attend Sunday’s game. Coach is beyond excited. He has been grinning from ear to ear all week long and acting like a very proud Papa. Although, Coach Fields is very proud of your accomplishments as a football player – he’s much more impressed and even prouder of the man and leader you have grown to be – a man who gives his life to God and openly declares his faith.

    
Take comfort in knowing that Coach is receiving the love, support and care he needs at this time. Just know that Coach Fields is going to be right there with you (in Section 423, Row 3, and ironically in Seat #12) on Sunday afternoon. I hope knowing this will help provide you with any additional strength and inspiration you may need in your endeavors. Our prayers and wishes go out to you and your fellow team mates. God Bless and keep on fighting the good fight.

Best Regards,
