The feelings I have for the entire Sheeran family go beyond words. It has been a true blessing to be a friend to such a loving group of people. I can only imagine the pride that Jeannine and Joseph must have felt for their children and their children over the years. Sending my love to the entire family and only good thoughts. I hope when Mr. Sheeran is teeing off at Pebble Beach's No. 7, the winds are calm and the day is bright. Rest easy sir.
