My Mother, Nick Trania (Link 80) (RIP)~Quagmire~Rodney Mullens~Derek Marlowe~........My bro, bestfriend, the missing piece, perhaps we will meet again...It is because of you I found MUSIC, my own solace, grace, forgiveness, love, compassion, empathy, sympathy, and MY OWN PERSONAL JESUS...At times to say the least, I still wonder the great impact you would have had on this stage known as the world, you were destined for things beyond any comprehension of what man has presented thus far...Its hard sometimes not to feel robbed..but i understand...Adam Robert W. (R.I.P 8/13/79 - 1/18/96).. I love you and you will NEVER be forgotten..
