Brett and Andrea-

Just passing through after a long absence, and feel the need to let you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you both in these difficult times. I reckon most of us have been through this; I long ago lost the grandparents who shared their farm with us for the first twenty-one years of my life, sharing their humor, their Appalachian stubbornness, and their music with me. It ain't ever easy, and you are both much on my mind and in my heart tonight.

Bill
