Hunter – you are definitely not a distraction.  I and the entire team and board stand behind and support you.  I hope you are able to join us at dinner and the board meeting but fully understand if you want to pass.  I am available to speak/get together tomorrow or whenever is good for you.  You are not alone – we will get through this together.

Rick,
So sorry to put you and everyone on the team through this. You are a great friend. Let's talk this week. The last thing I want to do is be a distraction to the work you and the whole team are doing.

Dear Hunter – I am thinking about you and am available to do anything to help.  I want to be there for you.  While it may be difficult now, it is important to keep this issue in perspective.  In the truly important things in life, you are there – from being a great father/husband and improving the lives of many through your commitment to public service to being a truly good friend to me (and many others).  You are a hero to me, Susie and Brandon.  The noise of this disclosure will dissipate and this story will disappear very soon.  Please let me know if I can do anything – I am available today/this evening/whenever.
Your good friend and admirer,
Rick
