    I was sad to just be finding out about Edmund’s passing. I was a huge fan of this talented family and they were my first concert at the tender age of 11 in NYC. I tore down the poster and brought it home to show my mom. She made sure that I went and it was an experience and a half. I’ve often wondered whatever happened to everyone and I’m glad to know that I can always find out and keep you all in my prayers. Thank you for all that you all meant in my life as a young girl and through my teenage yeats. I have the greatest hits CD that I bought in my 30s. Well again thanks and much Love.
