Peyton is and always will be 100% class.

I do appreciate when iconic celebrities like Peyton do stuff like this. Manning's not the only 1 to do it obviously, but it's just so humbling to see Peyton understand how important his national platform is & use it in the right way. My condolences to the family of Logan Brown.

how sweet

Good Stuff, very moving.

[Cleburne]

That was great, thanks for sharing.

Pure Class.

And this is why Peyton Manning is the greatest of all time. Unlike the cheating, lying Brady, Peyton has class and dignity and it seems a heart of gold.

"Hand written letter".

 

 

That is quintessential Peyton. In this day and age? A hand written letter? 

 

That is purpose, he damn well made sure they knew this was penned by his hand out of genuine care. 

 

This city lost a saint when he left. But....he still comes back, like a man of his word.

Love this guy!! Him and Reggie Miller will always be my favorite athletes of all time. I really really hope he comes home and retires a colt just like Reggie did a pacer.

[Shane Bond]

Classy act as always.

GOAT.

That's what I keep saying....He could put Indy in the rear view mirror or give lip service to his former 'home'

Very few people care five seconds about people they don't know and a 'non-birth place' they used to live..

..but Peyton certainly does

He is not comparable, OUM.

He is in a league of his own.

Awesome gesture!!! There are many players that realize life is more than what happens on the football field and go the extra mile for it to be known. Peyton is definitely one of them. Great gesture.

Not to take away from the above letter but I thought this was heart warming to share as well:

He must have had a loss to understand the tremendous impact a gesture like that means to someone who has just lost someone.

My thanks to all the people who take the time to reach out to people who've lost someone.  It means everything

We should all be more like that little boy

It was a very classy thing for Peyton to do. He seems to do such gestures often.

I think Cam Newton should also be recognized for reaching out and visiting those people who lost loved ones in that South Carolina church shooting. It seemed to mean a lot to the victims' families. We often hear about all the bad things that football players do but most do a lot of good without getting much recognition.

He is the absolute best, we were so blessed to have him.

I do think Peyton doesn't take things for granted after seeing his brother Cooper go from a certainty to go to college to not being able to play college football or any football, period. When it is family, it impacts you greatly letting you know nothing can be taken for granted.
