My heart lies on the ground, my dear friend. I was so stunned to hear the news, that I still can't believe it. Thank you for your support when I served on the School Board (I've kept your letters and cards), for sharing photos of your gorgeous grandchildren and Emily's wedding, the passing of your Dad and Mom, all the shared ranching and rodeo stories, your support when my family members passed. But most of all, thanks for our multi-hour-long phone calls, discussions of "Dancing With the Stars" and "Nashville," and all the laughs. Loved the shared lunches in Catalina. I'm so proud to have you as my best friend. I so miss you. Saddle up and ride your beloved hills of Tombstone. Keep the fire stoked, the coffee hot, and the lantern lit. I'll be along with new cowboy poems, and jokes for you and your Dad. Steve, Emily, and Brett, please accept my deepest condolences. Your Mom was so proud of you kids and spoke daily of her grandchildren, whom she adored. Blessings.
