Kesha, Jamie, Edith & Family:
What can I say that you haven't already heard? I love you guys and I grieve with you, while at the same time I rejoice because Ebb has achieved something we all long for, eternal life. Please find comfort in the fact that he suffers no longer but has a new body now and his spirit will always linger in your hearts.
