Dear Ruth, My thoughts and my prayers are with you. My children, now adults, send their condolences too. For a week, we have been recalling special memories of past encounters with our precious Brother Blue. My children used to refer to his stories and his being as "Blue Magic." He touched our heads and our hearts. He gave us beautiful stories and lessons to grow by. He touched our lives with a special "magic" which helped us to be the best that we could be. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He made us think. We love our dear Brother Blue and we love you too.
