March 8th...today would be your uncle's birthday, he, like you....left two moms saddened deeply....he loved music almost as much as you did....as incredible to believe as that could be...
Earl and Julie organized a memorial for you...they created EGGFEST...a block of bands and DJ Dunbar hosting an event to remember you...and your glorious memory...way too short...it's comforting to know that you've touch so many....as there are so many planning to be there...and we're planning a scholarship award in your name...so that each yr., a student who we would pick, can get a check to pursue music...and honey, we know the kind of student you'd pick...the kind who'd express uniqueness....and love to perform with their guitar....and how you loved country music most....but how you could listen and reflect on just about anything...one of my most loving memories of recent was you with your guitar, sitting by me near the computer, strumming the new song you'd been working on...and how we didn't always agree on the same music...how you disliked Tracy Chapman...but we both liked the Flaming Lips...and how much fun it was to see Bruce Springsteen with you...every song reminds me of you....every smile exchanged reminds me of your smile....every laugh I hear reminds me of the laughter you shared and the silliness you so frequently spread to those around you....again, the sun is shining...the snow has gone...your grave site is clear and we continue to visit you...and to Hazel, trotting down St. Kevin Drive has become routine...she misses you as does Murray and Chyna, we're being extra nice to Murray....
