-### **Character Letter from Kathy O'Keefe**

-**To Whom It May Concern:**  
+**Dear Judge,**  
 
-As a **retired social worker with 30+ years, which includes direct CPS experience during my career**, I provide context about my son, **Jason Davis**, and his efforts to support his son Noah amid documented educational and behavioral challenges.  
+I'm Jason Davis's mother and a retired social worker. I've watched Jason care for Noah through many challenges over the years.  
 
-### **1. Professional Perspective: Navigating Educational Instability**  
-School records show Noah moved frequently between Texas and Colorado - a pattern I recognize as **highly disruptive** to a child's development. Despite this, Jason consistently:  
-- **Facilitated seamless transitions** (ensuring enrollment within days, per withdrawal/entry records)  
-- **Collaborated with educators** on behavioral concerns (responding to teacher referrals in both states)  
-- **Advocated for support services** (counseling referrals in Colorado school notes)  
+What stands out is his consistency:  
+- Always attending school meetings, even after night shifts  
+- Following through with every counselor's recommendation  
+- Keeping detailed records of Noah's needs and progress  
 
-### **2. Personal Observations: A Father's Commitment**  
-The father I've witnessed:  
-- **Proactive**: Rearranged work schedules (as IT supervisors can verify) to accommodate Noah's moves  
-- **Patient**: Focused on **solutions, not punishment** when Noah faced disciplinary actions (tardies, ISS)  
-- **Resilient**: Never refused Noah's returns despite logistical challenges  
+I've never seen Jason act violently toward his son. He's more likely to walk away and cool off than raise his voice.  
 
-### **3. Context Without Excuses**  
-While not minimizing current allegations, I ask consideration of:  
-- The **cumulative stress** of managing cross-state school struggles  
-- Jason's **documented engagement** (school conference attendance, Texas records)  
+I hope the court will consider Jason's dedication as a father.  
 
-
-### **4. Closing Appeal**  
-Jason's history reflects **persistent efforts to parent responsibly** through challenging circumstances. I respectfully ask this context be weighed.  
-
-**Sincerely,**  
-Kathy O'Keefe
