I Love You and will miss your physical being, but your spirit touched me in a profound way that has shaped me and all you came in contact with. I still feel your presence and hear your voice on stage and off. I thank God for allowing our paths to cross and intertwine as they have. You will always live and be here not just through your music but through the many lessons you taught us while you were here in the flesh.
My love and thoughts are with the Family and musical family as well, I love y'all and am proud and honored to be a part of both. My heart mind and soul are with y'all.
