Hi, gang! Yes, its me. I heard the news and thought I would stop by for a few words. I know that many of you find this news difficult to accept and I suppose there is a part of me that feels the same, however, I find this moment more bittersweet.
We all have such wonderful memories of this great, great band. So many things we will always recall with tremendous fondness as we remember where we were when or what we were doing..... All the fantastic concerts we have enjoyed, the awesome music they have made and the amazing people we have met. And, of course, there is this site.
I cannot say what will become of this place when the guys finally play that last song. I assume there are many tears to be shed and many hugs to share. I will always be grateful to the people that made this site more than just a web page. More than just a fan site. I found friendship here that I will cherish for the rest of my days.
I have not been here much in the last few months and I quite likely will not be back too often. I prefer to remember this site for what it was and who was here. I prefer to remember all the friends I have made and all the great times we had here. All in the name of the GREATEST band ever! They have given us SO much more than music. They are and will always be a part of us. When I hear a Priest song, I will think of you all. I will remember those crazy days of years ago. The laughs we shared and some of the tears. The fun and even the bad moments. I will remember the FAITHFUL DEFENDERS. Our two albums and all that went into them. The days at MM's house. The sights that the Princess and I saw in New York. The WONDERFUL music we made.
Perhaps we will see one another at one of the final shows next year? I know that I will think of you when I see the boys making their final stop near me! I thank all of you for the many years we have spent together. I love you guys. Please remember that. Please remember me. Thank you Rob, Glenn, Ian and Scott. I will remember you.
