I was going back through some posts and found this thread. JBK wrote me this poem and it really cheered me up that Christmas. My mom passed away 4 days later, from cancer, so it wasn't anything like Christmas to me last year. Somehow he was in tune with that and wrote me a fun poem and cheered me up. Yep, I'd say he touched some lives here.
