You guys are great! Thank you all so much for writing to my brother!

'Spaw....you out did yourself! By now, you should have that picture!!! Geez, esp. after that absolutely demanding email ya sent me!**BG** You words at the end made me cry & Del was really touched by them. He's been reading a lot about grief and mourning.

He was really surprised when I handed him the printout of these messages. He said, "But they don't even know me and they sent me birthday wishes?"

I said, "That's the kind of people they are. The best!!"

MMario; I love your words: "Echoes last longer then the note itself." Beautiful.....

Folk1234: naw, he won't be coming to Mudstock99, but we could still sing that song!

Dave & Frank: thanks for the compliments! Yer checks are in the mail.:-) You, too, Bert!

Rick: the thought of Peter making love to classical music? Would that be with a partner or the sheet music???

Jeri: great little poem and it DID have that great cream cheese frosting with little orange carrots made out of it.

Bet, he called me after you called him. It was appreciated, I know, despite his mood!

So glad you all were able to read backwards in the mirror, as instructed.LOL Thanks, again,
