Letters from Jackie

Thomas—
I saw Jackie on my gig the other night—
and he asked me to deliver this note to you—

Praying for you—and as always—
am taking lessons from you
and your courage and
spirit during this suffering—
you always show me the way—

Keep the Light,

Love and Prayers—
Mario

Dear Tom,
I am so sorry to hear of your illness—
my prayers are with you my little brother—
—You are one of the finest young men
I have ever had the pleasure
to study with—
I am currently on tour—
I will stay in touch.
Please have faith—
You are just beginning to shine—
I will be in touch.
Peace
Jackie McLean

Dear Tom,
Dollie and I send this offering to help
during this time of turmoil. We also send
our God energy and spirit.

Like all things good and bad, this too
will heal itself in time. You are young and
very talented—we need you.

God Bless You
Jackie McLean
