Hello, I'm a 43 year old homemaker. I couldn't listen to anything he sang for a whole year after he died. I would get so depressed and cry, wondering why and thinking how much he would miss and how much his family and fans would miss. I never met him personally or even went to a concert. But his songs, his voice, his great smile make me feel like he was one of my own family members. I still miss him but I listen to his music everyday now and it makes me happy to know he left us so much.
