Memories

My prayers are with you

Nadee Apr 10, 2008

Words can never say enough but prayers go a long way. Mine are with you and your family as you grieve the lost of your husband. Never heard his music but I felt as if I knew him through your songs. You once said he was the inspiration of some of your songs and that touched my heart. I could feel the love, the closeness. I know you will continue to keep that part of him alive in your heart forever! Let his star continue to cross your sky. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
