We were friends with your parents before they bought the house in Montgomery, Tx. We always hung out together. Your Mom and I would sign/ sing songs and cook for the guys. After they moved me came to visit. You and Kevin were young. We stayed the night and I hated it cuz I had to go to the rest room in the early morning and it was to the outhouse. I woke up my spouse to go with me cuz I was so scared of spiders or snakes. We lost touch with you all shortly after that time. I sure remember fun...

So much love from us to you and your brother, Kambri. I am so sorry to hear about this truly unfortunate (and, cruel) end to Cigo's story.

Our book club read your book a few months ago, Kambri. We are all interpreters for Deaf callers on VRS. We love how you told your amazing story, with snippets of information to educate the public about Deaf culture. I feel I knew your father from just reading the book. Your skilled storytelling gave him a legacy that will live on. Thank you and accept my condolences as you mourn the loss of your hero.

Perfect obit, Kambri. Just wish thered been more.
For some reason, I imagine all your Dad will accomplish, give and restore in his next life if one believes (or at least wants to) in that sort of thing.
In the meantime, it really seems theres another book to be written. I hope heaven is as cool as the Catskills, Mr. Crews
