DO A LITTLE DANCE
GIVE THE KIDS A CHANCE,
your daughter, befriending me for a few precious and unforgetable days in 1991-1995, Looking in my eyes asking me 'Are you going to die like Allen ?", holding back her tears, I Said to her NO. ALLEN WAS NOT AS FORTUNATE AS ME, BECAUSE HIS INJURY WAS WORSE THAN MINE. WE WALKED & Rolled around the yard, and every time I saw her she would hug me and smile, she was an example of The GOOD in you and your wife.
You were always a smile to the people,as for me, I was shown the Loveingkindness, asking me if I had a place to stay,I really did'nt but that 1976 Pontiac Gran Prix in your yard/condo was a Pleasure, the invites from all, by the food a gift of Love. As did Pappy and Mother VanZant, gave t-shirts hats, invited me in to eat. I was blessed to be a part of the Tribute Tour,and more,1987-2001. The Famous Tribute Tour,& Video some changes were happening in the Times. Roll4Rock was in Jaxs Beach, and West side, Crestview,'55 pearl white Chevy was still parked in the backyard, all over I was treated like a bother by You & Your Families.
I recieved a gift of Love, that I needed then more than I seemed to. The rare time,to be and see thru the actions of you all as individuals, everyday people, Pure & Simple.
Families thankful and Happy to be Together, invite me into your homes' in 1991 to do and try to see/learn all I could, Leon as did Johnny Gary And Dale, that it was not a game, nor to be taken lightly. I am Humbled after all the years & memories. After all the trials.
I Thank GOD for His People, Brothers, Sisters all. For GOD & Family,& Thank Ya'll. Peace.
