I saw that Tink, Well, I'm sure Johnny got in his share of livin' while he was here and he managed to live til he died naturally tho' he might have preferred a different way.
Rest in peace

Emphysema is NO way to have to go! It's a horrendous death...to have to fight for every ounce of oxygen and all it does is get trapped in the diseased pockets of lung tissue....I saw Johnny Paycheck sing on TV in Aug. and he had to fight for every breath just to sing...much less anything else...my heart went out to him....It's a disease that's the hardest for "family" members to "deal" with...course as the disease progresses, the patient becomes more and more irritable and difficult to "deal with", but who can blame them when they're literally slowly asphixicating to death?! May he know "sweet peace" now! He was one great songwriter in his own rights! ------------------ http://www.mp3.com/sharon_irene_wells
