Roy Orbison brings back SO MANY wonderful memories for me. Great choices for today!
A beautiful collection that really gives me a feeling for Michael. Very sad to hear that you had to say goodbye to him.
Based on his choices in music, I'm sure I would have liked your friend Michael very much.
66 is too young to die; he should have been at the point where he could really start enjoying his golden years but it seems that sometimes the universe has other plans for us.
Thank you to everyone for your kind comments.
I'm so sorry for your loss. This is a terrific selections of songs for a memorial.
I wish you peace and comfort.
I am truly sorry for your loss, Jamie. What a lovely thing to do in his honor.
