Note from Lydia Jones

The many expressions of concern and encouragement have been very meaningful for Chancellor Dan Jones, who is undergoing treatment for lymphoma at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. The following note from his wife, Lydia Jones, says those thoughts and prayers are making a real difference. We thought you’d like to hear that in her words:

The Chancellor and I are so blessed. Your outpouring of love and concern is beyond measure. We have received every note, every card, every email and every message you have sent. We thank you.
The University is in wonderful hands, and we are fighting hard to get well. After all, we are Ole Miss Rebels!
