To my brother in Christ you will be missed . But I know you are in a better place and we will be there shortly. Don't worry about Penny or John or Mackenzie they are fine because they know where you are. We take care of their earthly needs til we are all reunited together. Herb will have new songs to share with you but he still misses you. But I know you would not come back if you could. Like I said we will be there soon my friend.
