WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“I feel it is a great fortune to have some passion in life and an urgency in direction; it makes our whole being so much fuller.”
We Your Fans
By Cathi Bee
A Poem
A Story
A Song and a Fanvid
Pictures and memories
And decades of love
Unreturned
If this is the only way
To keep you
To love you
Like you were in life
Then this is what we do.
Bye and Hi.
We are so glad you are here.
This is our love
In words and in images
You will never die
Because where else can you be
But here in our work?

Remembering
Jon-Erik Hexum
I fell in love with your masculine features
You were so strong
With a deep voice
Then came your accident
You soared so high only to die so young
Leaving fans to mourn you
Journalists to question why
Mean people to never let anyone forget how it all came crashing down
