Hi, I met Byron only once or twice, but he was a good man, as is the rest of his family. They are kind people and did not deserve this. I want to give my condolences, rather late, but sometimes you feel like there is nothing much to say. I wish Jackie, Leanne, and April, and the rest of his family all the best. Much love.
