On December 17, 2007, a mother lost a son, a wife lost a husband, the music world lost an incredible piece of it’s soul, many of us lost a dear friend and brother, and an amazing little girl lost her “Daddy.” Jeff “FFROE” Roe was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known, with a love for music, family and friends…To those of us who knew him, his boyish laugh and infectious smile were treasured aspects of a warm and caring soul that existed in his often intimidating appearance, as though it were our little secret. Gosh, it seems like I am writing this series of words in my head everyday, and as I sit to type it all out, I am bombarded with memories, quotes and images…What a time we had!!! Ffroe and I shared more laughs than many people get in a lifetime…We shared successes, failures, smiles and heartbreaks…We shared a love for music, stand up comedy, poker, and the list goes on…

Jeff, I assume that heaven has the internet and you are reading this right now…I miss you, dude…I don’t understand why people like you have to leave us so soon…I understand there is a purpose in all that happens, but it is hard for me to make sense of this; of you being gone…I am sure the stereos are loud up there, and you are blasting Pantera so loud that everyone around you is a little scared…I am sure you have played Texas Hold’em with some of the Jazz greats I never got into and the Hair Metal guys I did…I am also certain that you are going ALL IN on every hand and telling everyone else at the table, “I hope you win, I don’t care.” Mostly I am sure you are at peace, and in my “trying hard not to be selfish through the loss of my best friend,” that is, at this point, where I find my own peace.

I love ya buddy

The following was written by the great George Carlin

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.

We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?
