Mr.E my heart were sad to hear of your passing but I realize that we are pilgrims just passing through on the way to our heavenly home. I miss our talks and all the advice that you give me. Mr.E you are a true friend I shall forever be thankful and
grateful for god placing someone like you in my life. I know that I got on your nerves but you never once showed it.Ever time I needed someone to talk to or had a problem you were the first person that pops in my mind. I know that you are making that piano say the words that you are playing my friend keep on marching by faith.Rest in jesus arms my friend.
