On Ryan Roulette ...

We lost a friend.  Ryan Roulette, my Jazzie girl's big brother, died in a motorcycle accident yesterday in California.

The first time I met Ryan, I was speechless.  He was stunningly handsome, with the most incredible eyes and beautiful complexion.  And then he spoke ...

At that moment, I wished I was 25 years younger and many pounds lighter!

Ryan had the whole package - good lucks, a good personality, and a voice like no other.  Anytime Ryan's name came up in conversation - I would tell everyone I could listen to that man read the phone book.

His voice was creamy, and rich - and rivaled the uniqueness of James Earl Jones.  But, Ryan's voice didn't have the rumbling timbre of Jones'.  His voice was velvety and smooth - truly the voice of an angel.

Ryan had been through hard times, but he turned around.  Once he got to California, he changed his ways - had a job he seemed to enjoy.  It finally looked as though he was going to make it.  Then in a blink of the eye ... it's all over. 

My heart goes out to my little Jazzie girl and Ryan's children.

Rest in peace, Ryan.  We love you and we will miss you.
