I awoke Monday morning with a nagging feeling someone in the family had passed away, but it wasn't until Tuesday morning I checked my answering machine and got the message from Coy that Adrian had passed away. I was immediately saddened, but I took solace in the fact Adrian had lived a long and productive life. God, in His infinite wisdom, has given us extraordinary memories, and I know the memories of Adrian will sustain all of you through this moment. My prayers still go out to all of you in the hope they will ensure an easy transition.
