Friends of Brent:
Brent has requested that I send a brief update on the current status of his health. Since his most recent blog post, October 28th, he has experienced increased breathing problems and his general energy has dissipated significantly. Currently, he is confined to his bed and unable to write further blog entries, therefore he wanted me to provide this information to those who might be interested. He has appreciated all those who have written words of encouragement, including blog comments, e-mails, cards and letters. Your words have been a blessing to him.
His two sons, Brian, a student at the University of Illinois, and Benjamin, a freshmen at Urbana High School, are able to spend significant periods of time with him each evening. This has been a joy for him, the boys and Usha.
Brent is receiving appropriate medical care which provides as much physical comfort as possible under the present circumstances. For this we are all grateful
We shall keep you informed in the future when further develpments concerning Brent seem appropriate.
Brent's father:
John E. Zehr

Dear Mr. John,
Many thanks for letting us know Brent's health condition. I am happy to learn that Brian and Ben have been spending enough time with Brent which is good for both Brent and for children. It has been a long and difficult journey for Brent, Usha and the rest of the family. As always, I pray to the ALMIGHTY to show His mercy on him to live with happiness, make him feel comfort and dignified. I pray to the God to give him a strength, mental happiness and peace at every minute of his life.
Please let him know that he is in our thoughts and prayers.
With love and prayers,
Kasi and Sridevi
Dear John,
We very much appreciate the update on Brent's health status. He and Usha and the boys are in our thoughts every day---We send our best spirits out to them.
It was particularly uplifting to visit Mumbai and Delhi recently and observe the great progress that has been made in the research programs in both Mahyco and Sungro under Brent's tutelage over the last ten or so years. This is validated by a large number of new innovative products that will find a place in the market to feed India and the world. We wish the very best and peace for all.
