I send my condolence to Sandra and all family members on your loss of Tag here on this earth. I had the privilege to meet Tag this September as a guest at his ranch. It was a joy to see him with his joyful spirit. It was so obvious that he was a very special giving man and that he loved sharing his most beautiful Black Tail Ranch with guests. I am fortunate to have met him. God be with each of you.
