I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, **Ayesha**. It sounds like your uncle was a wonderful man, and the world’s a better place for having had him here. You and your family will be in my thoughts.

My Uncle Dale was suddenly beside us and made him let go of me. That was the first time anyone had ever been able to stop him without them being beaten too.

{{{{{{{{Ayesha}}}}}}}}}} Your uncle sounds like the only thing better than his music was his integrity and character, something seen in YOU too. God bless you sweetie, and you’re always in our thoughts and prayers.

Ayesha, in case you are not reading the FFF board now, I took the liberty of linking this thread to it. You do have friends over there that may have missed this thread.  
The thread over there is:

I hope I was not out of line.
