I got a call this morning, and didn’t make it to the phone in time so my answering machine picked up. As soon as I heard my friend Anne’s voice on the machine, I had a feeling of dread. Just by the tone of her voice. She told me her new cell number and asked that I call her back as she had bad news and didn’t want to put it on my machine. I called her back right away and she told me that my friend Mick died. The particulars aren’t known as of yet, but he is a musician and always shows up for his gigs. Tuesday night he didn’t show up, and his brothers got worried. They found him at his home. There will be more info to come, but I am going to miss my friend a lot. He was a great guy…always had a smile, a joke and a tune for me. Rest In Peace Mick. You will be missed terribly.
