COVID-19 RIPs

I could list quite a few to start, but I'll only list one that I just heard about.

My sweet friend, Linda Mehney, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Linda founded Grand Arabians and contributed to the Arabian horse breed in America.  She had many friends because she was kind and gracious.   In a world of fierce competitors, everyone loved her. 

Linda passed away a few days ago. 

One of my fondest memories was visiting her home on a nice summer day to see all the gorgeous horses in her stable.  Afterwards, we had coffee and some gourmet treats in the garden.  That was 20 years ago.  Seems like yesterday...

God bless you, Linda

John Prine, songwriter (October 10, 1946 – April 7, 2020)
