Ernest, Paulette & Cozette,

I am so sorry to hear about your mother. While I didn't really know her, I knew all I needed to by the way in which her children have always been: kind-and-true friends.

Ernest and I go back to first grade, and the sisters were in band with me and my brother John. Good folks all around, they're folks I'm proud to call my friends.

I'll be thinking of you and your families in the days ahead, and keeping you all in my prayers.
