My wife and I are new fans, and while checking you out on the internet, my wife discovered that your wife had passed away earlier this year. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you as we lost a dear friend on Good Friday of this year in a car wreck. Your music is delightful. I hope it helps to bring you peace. Would love to jam with you if you ever pass thru Dallas. Much respect. Scotty and Kathy
