'You’re my hero, and I love you'

"I just wanted to salute my brother Ricky Bivens for fighting for our family," writes proud sister Britney Timberman. She says:

"I love him so much and I wish there was a day I could thank him for what he's doing!

He has a wife, a 2-year-old beautiful little girl and his first son due in a few weeks.... which he may not be here for.... I just want him to know how much [his family and I] appreciate and respect what he is doing!"
