We have felt lost since the death of our friend and band mate, John.
There will always be unanswered questions, so we can only surrender to
life, and move forward without fully understanding. In our distress we
feel lucky for having been so close to him, and we're thankful for the
guidance that memories of him will give us. All of us in the band are
enthusiastic and determined to live out the plans we laid together
with John. As we continue, the pain of missing a dear friend will
remind us how much we loved him. Coinciding with the wishes of John's
family, we have decided to continue onward. We are thankful for the
continuous support from friends, family and the music community during
this difficult time. We find comfort in this solidarity, and hope that
it gives us strength.
