This is such a huge loss to this community, and so hard to believe. Life is so fragile and so brief, and yet we often feel as if we'll live forever. I was going to write Dawg last week about Piney fest as I had made a last minute decision to attend and then was unable and I just wanted to say hi and see how things turned out, and now it's too late. I was so sad to hear the news when Erica called me, and my heart hurts for Bobby.

One neat thing is that Dawg will always be remembered here at JPF as a scholar and a gentelman as he touched so many lives with his wisdom and ecouragement. He was truly a blessing and will be sorely missed by many. Even though I haven't spent a lot of time here this year, the news is still a shock to the system...

I had just taken Bobbie's advice to heart about talking to the loved ones in your life about smoking and sent my brother-in-law a lengthly e-mail about his smoking when I got the news.

Bobbie, I'm so sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers.
