A great deal has happened in the past year. We are glad to have a new year upon us with great hope for the future. I would like to start off by paying respects to my dearly deceased parents: Mother Lucille Rankin who passed in November 2009, and father George Rankin who passed in November 2008. Those of you who have seen me play over the years will remember them well for coming out to the shows. Their presence in my life is such a part of me that I have been unable to address any response until now. It was clear to us all that Mom wanted to be with Dad and not in pain anymore. Although my mothers death was sudden, I was able to spend a week with her before she passed. I will remember and cherish that time forever. God Bless all of the friends and family who have loved and supported us through this difficult time.
